You know those commercials you have to watch about six times to really understand everything happening? We’ve got a brand new one of those for you. This is Paramount+’s ad that’ll run during Super Bowl LVII, which is taking place Sunday, February 11th. Yes of course we’ll be bringing you all the trailer drops, but you’ve really GOT to see this ad. We’ll just start by telling you it features Sir Patrick Stewart in full classic American football regalia throwing 90s animated hero Arnold (“Hey Arnold!”) while “Survivor” host Jeff Probst, Drew Barrymore, Lt. Dangle from “Reno 9-1-1” (Thomas Lennon),…

It would appear that social media platform (and, let’s be honest, lifestyle choice) TikTok has lost a pretty big chunk of music. This comes after the company failed to reach a deal with Universal Music Group for licensing songs by artists under the label. This includes Taylor Swift, Drake, and numerous others. The deadline was January 31st. Songs from Universal Music Group artists are now no longer available, and have been removed from previously posted content. “Today, as an indication of how little TikTok compensates artists and songwriters, despite its massive and growing user base, rapidly rising advertising revenue and…

During today’s PlayStation January State of Play, we got a TON of new footage for various titles. Perhaps most exciting was an extended trailer for Hideo Kojima’s “DEATH STRANDING 2.” With the added title of “ON THE BEACH,” the trailer includes all new looks at Norman Reedus’ return as Sam Bridges, Léa Seydoux as Fragile, and Elle Fanning. “Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA. Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction. Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should…

This just in-sounds like that “28 Years Later” flick has found a home at Sony Pictures! Hailing once again from original franchise creators Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, this third film is planned to launch a second trilogy.This deal apparently includes “28 Years Later,” which Garland has written and Boyle will direct. And with that, a “Part 2,” which will sport another script by Garland, but without Boyle attached at this time. “28 Days Later” star Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer,” “Peaky Blinders”) will produce, as well as *POSSIBLY* star in the one of the new films. We’ll let you know what…

Look, we’re all for the average person owning swords. But when Home Depot starts selling two-handed claymores based on Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart,” we have to start asking some questions. Who thought this was a good idea? Why is this a regular item and not something seasonal from their impressive Halloween collection? “Reclaim your FREEDOM from the tyrannical English king with this authentic William Wallace sword. This sword is a replica of the sword William Wallace wielded in the movie Braveheart,” Home Depot’s website says. “The blade is made of polished stainless steel and is double edged. The hilt and pommel…

We’re….not really sure to do with the information we’re about to impart to you. Oscar winner Jodie Foster has a very surprising suggestion for a film that everyone needs to see. The first makes perfect sense, and we agree- “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Yes. Sure. Of course, a modern masterpiece of emotion, story, and performance. Absolutely everyone should see it. But the other thing? Really? “Well, Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Foster told Golden Globe nominee Greta Lee (“Past Lives”) in a piece for Interview. “Oh, and this is probably number one — the puppet movie Team America: World Police.”I’m sorry…WHAT?!…

Kurt Russell isn’t just an action film icon. Well, he IS, but he isn’t JUST that. Talk about a storied career, right? Some of his earliest work was as a contract player at Disney, and is one of the few working actors who actually knew and had a friendship with Walt Disney. Then there’s the string of 80s films we see as classics. “Escape from New York,” “The Thing,” “Big Trouble in Little China-” all made with director/writer/composer John Carpenter. From there, slightly more mainstream with hits like “Backdraft,” and perhaps the greatest modern Western of all time, “Tombstone.” We…

At LONG LAST, the Paramount+ project starring Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou is finally filming. If you’ll recall, Georgiou made her first appearance in “Star Trek: Discovery,” and quickly became a fan-favorite. The character eventually crossed over from the Mirror Mirror Universe, she now works for the top-secret Federation spy agency known as Section 31. This “Star Trek” project had originally been pitched as a spinoff tv series, but years of delays due to the global pandemic and then the Hollywood strikes prevented that. It was announced as a film last year. Today’s news is that cameras…

Are you ready for an all-new extremely Guy Ritchie film? One that stars Henry Cavill (“The Witcher”) and Alan Ritchson (“Reacher”)? Yeah, us too! Thankfully, we got our first trailer for “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”) this morning! Just take a look at the description and tell us it doesn’t sound like a great Ritchie film: Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a…

This just in-it would appear that “House of the Dragon” star Milly Alcock will indeed be taking on the role of Kara Zor-El, aka, Supergirl. The feature film which will reportedly be called “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” and will be written by Ana Nogueira. At the time of the announcement from DC Studios, it was described by James Gunn thusly:“In our series we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone…
