Actor and rumored time lord Keanu Reeves (“John Wick”) is done fighting angels (like in 2005’s “Constantine). Now, he is starring as an angel himself in Aziz Ansari’s (“Parks & Recreation”) feature directorial debut, “Good Fortune.” Lionsgate has just released the film’s first hilarious teaser trailer.  “Good Fortune” follows Gabriel (Reeves), a well-meaning but kind of inept angel, who decides he wants more responsibilities. This leads him to intervene in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Seth Rogen). The teaser opens on Gabriel discussing his need for more “meaningful duties” with Martha (Sandra…

Actor Kel Mitchell is teasing launching his own line of cola based on the running gag from the sitcom, “Kenan & Kel.” During an appearance at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut Mitchell led the crowd in a chant of “Who loves orange soda? Kel loves orange soda.” When asked about his love of the fizzy beverage: “One of the writers, this is what he told me. He…

Netflix is full speed ahead for its upcoming Tudum event on May 31st. The streamer has already teased a big “One Piece” season 2 announcement. And they decided to double-down on it today in a new video.  The under two-minute clip shows the Straw Hat crew prepping for a sleepover. While Luffy (Inaki Godoy) and Nami (Emily Rudd) bicker over even having a sleepover, the rest of the gang files in.

She will be playing a main role opposite Paul Bettany (“Here”), who is reprising his role as Vision. Jocasta?! Miller will play a yet to be revealed character. The current likely rumor has her as Jocasta, the robot Ultron builds to be his bride, using the consciousness of the original The Wasp, Janet van Dyne.

For nearly a decade, Disney has been remaking its animated classics as live-action films. The company’s latest adaptation, 2002’s “Lilo & Stitch,” is already bringing in more at the box office than its animated predecessor. Between this and “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” this could be the biggest Memorial Day weekend in box office history. “Lilo & Stitch” led the domestic box office, pulling in $145.5 million on its opening weekend. Followed by “Final Reckoning,” starring Tom Cruise, with $63 million. Keep in mind that the 2002 version earned $145.8 million in the U.S. and Canada over its entire…

On May 16th, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” hit theaters. Like its five predecessors, the film follows a group of people who evade death only to be stalked by it. During a screening at Cinema Ocho in Argentina on May 19th, the film got a bit too immersive when part of the theater’s ceiling fell.  Fiamma Villaverde was at the theater celebrating her 29th birthday with her 11-year-old daughter and a friend when the debris struck her. The Collapse During “Bloodlines” “The truth is, we hadn’t planned to go to the movies,” Fiamma told Infobae. “It was my birthday, we were walking and…

In 2015, EA rebooted the “Star Wars Battlefront” series, which did well enough to justify a follow-up in 2017. Its sequel was considered a much better game, sans its reliance on micro-transactions. (An issue EA eventually corrected with a Celebration Edition that gave players access to every piece of previously paywalled content.) Recently, and despite EA no longer supporting the game, “Battlefront II” has seen a huge spike in popularity. The spike is believed to be a mix of excitement around the “Star Wars” holiday, May the 4th, and Disney+’s hit show “Andor.” This hype is also adding to fan…

In 2021, Amazon Prime Video premiered its series adaptation of the late Robert Jordan’s “The Wheel of Time” novels. After a three season run, the show has been cancelled. This decision comes a little over a month after the finale of season 3.  The cancellation reason is believed to be mostly financial, given the fantasy drama’s high price tag.  “The Wheel of Time” follows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), who is part of the Aes Sedai, a powerful all-female organization. She sets out on a global quest with five young men and women, one of whom is the prophesied Dragon Reborn. A…

You know how people joke about books and comics being turned into shows and movies quicker and quicker? Netflix just won a bidding war over Dan Brown’s yet-to-be-released novel “The Secret of Secrets.” The streamer will be turning the upcoming book into a currently untitled series. This new series will have Carlton Cuse (“Lost,” “Locke and Key”) as showrunner. “The Secret of Secrets” is the 6th book in Brown’s series centered around Harvard professor of symbology, Robert Langdon.
