Yesterday, word came down that a third Patty Jenkins written/directed, Gal Gadot-starring third “Wonder Woman” film was unlikely. James Gunn, co-CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures newly launched DC Studios, has addressed this news, as well as the future of the DCEU as we know it. The following is Gunn’s multiple tweets, put together in one lump statement: “So. As for the story yesterday in the Hollywood Reporter, some of it is true, some of it is half-true, some of it is not true, & some of it we haven’t decided yet whether it’s true or not. Although this first month…

This just in-Mike Flanagan is adapting yet another classic Stephen King work. Like most King titles, this one has already had a film (2017), and an unaired pilot for a series (2020). We’re speaking of course about “The Dark Tower.”According to Flanagan himself, he and his producing partners acquired the rights to “The Dark Tower” before signing their massive deal with Amazon.“Predating our deal with Amazon, we acquired the rights to ‘The Dark Tower,’ which if you know anything about me, you know it has been my Holy Grail of a project for most of my life,” Flanagan said. “We actually…

We’re sorry to say, but it seems like the 3rd Patty Jenkins-helmed “Wonder Woman” film will NOT happen. This story comes from multiple sources, one of which being The Hollywood Reporter. Apparently a treatment for “Wonder Woman 3” was submitted by Jenkins (co-written by Geoff Johns). THR says their sources indicate co-CEOs of DC Studios James Gunn and Peter Safran, along with WB brass Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy thought the project “did not fit in with the new (but still unfolding) plans.”This could be due to several reasons; chief among them likely the poor reception to “Wonder Woman…

Today marked a special day in the lives of fans of James Cameron’s “Avatar” film. The sequel, many, many years in the making, has finally had it’s world premiere. As expected, the first reactions to the film are coming in via the usual channels, and so far, reception is positive.

Today marks a special day for fans of James Cameron’s “Avatar” films. The long awaited sequel (of a planned 5-film series) is having it’s world premiere in London. This means first reactions will be coming later today/tonight, but it also means the press was able to ask some pointed questions to cast and crew. Like whomever decided to ask producer Jon Landau about other films he may be working on. “Well uh, there’s a little film called ‘Alita: Battle Angel’ that we’d love to circle back and do a sequel to. And uh, we’re talking to Robert [Rodriquez] about that,…

Yes, Warner Bros. Pictures is still going to release the Ezra Miller-starring “The Flash” film.

Losing generational icons is never easy. Especially when it’s someone like Bob McGrath from the long-running children’s program, “Sesame Street.” McGrath joined the series at the very beginning in 1969. He played Bob Johnson, the second-longest reoccurring human character on the show, until 2016 when he left the series. (He did appear again a few times though.)Bob McGrath passed away on December 4th, 2022 at the age of 90. Some “Sesame Street” co-stars and The Muppets stars shared their grief. https://twitter.com/BigBird/status/1599849531637911552 https://twitter.com/KermitTheFrog/status/1599837029726142464 The Sesame Workshop also offered their collective thoughts on McGrath. https://twitter.com/SesameWorkshop/status/1599557469113843712 https://twitter.com/HistoryMuppet/status/1599550953295790080 Thank you so much for everything,…
