This morning, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced their official list of Golden Globes nominees for 2023. There were some expected noms, surprises, and the usual honorees. But for the second year in a row, not a single woman director. There is of course a lot we can say about that little factoid, but it really speaks volumes on its own. Considering the continual controversies from the HFPA, we guess this isn’t surprising. We’re really not surprised to see the great Angela Bassett get a nod for her deeply emotional turn in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The buzz in tinsel…

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…

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. The most common thing we’re seeing from official press and notable persons who either saw “Avatar: The Way of Water” at the London premiere or at screenings around the world are “Never bet against James Cameron.” Perhaps the most interesting reaction- Obviously we all knew it was going to be…

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,…
