From setting the dance floor on fire on award shows to doing bhangra at a teammate's wedding to just making fun videos for social media, several cricket players have gone viral with their dance videos.
The BCCI has clarified that it will be 'too late' to move the opener out of Mumbai even as cases continue to surge in the city.The sheer volume of major and completely unexpected events to regularly happen over the last twelve months have numbed many of us to the idea of being genuinely surprised any more, but the Pepé Le Pew discourse that surged around Space Jam: A New Legacy for about a week before fading into the ether still managed to raise a few eyebrows.
The long-awaited sequel to the beloved family film starring Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny cut the amorous skunk’s scene almost two years ago, but when the news began recirculating it suddenly became a hot-button issue as everyone weighed in with an opinion on the matter. It was a strange time, but now that we’ve put it behind us we can look forward to the movie itself, which is coming to theaters and HBO Max on July 16th.
Those wearing the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia might not want to hear this, but the first Space Jam isn’t a very good movie. It’s diverting and entertaining, sure, but its flaws vastly outnumber its successes. Director Malcolm D. Lee and LeBron James will be looking to avoid these pitfalls, and it helps that any narrative issues can be overcome by the splashy visuals, with A New Legacy reportedly setting Warner Bros. back a hefty $160 million.
Based on the first trailer, Space Jam: A New Legacy delivers exactly what was promised, offering an update on the formula that worked for the first film, but giving it a modern CGI polish and an added layer of self-referential humor. James already looks to give a much better performance than his predecessor did, but we’ll have to wait and see it the final product manages to live up to the sum of its parts.
The video game genre continues to provide Hollywood with creative inspiration, and there’s an exciting crop of releases in the pipeline. In less than three weeks the Mortal Kombat reboot premieres in theaters and on HBO Max, while Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is penciled in for a September debut, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is in production, HBO’s episodic adaptation of The Last of Us starts filming this summer and Tom Holland’s Uncharted is coming next February.
One of the more other projects on the horizon is Eli Roth’s Borderlands, which continues to see the filmmaker pivoting away from his horror roots, with his last effort from behind the camera underrated family fantasy The House with a Clock in Its Walls. The script hails from Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin, and the movie has assembled an eclectic and hugely intriguing ensemble.
Cate Blanchett takes top billing as Lilith, Kevin Hart will try his hand at being an action hero having signed on as Roland and Jamie Lee Curtis is on board as Dr. Patricia Tannis, with Jack Black lending his signature manic energy to the voice of Claptrap. Shooting commenced in Hungary on Thursday, and the first behind the scenes photos have already arrived, which you can check out below.
The game series has sold over 45 million copies around the world, so there’s clearly a sizeable built-in fanbase eager to see what the film has in store. Roth’s filmography has been very inconsistent and the track record of console-to-screen adaptations is patchy at best, but it’s hard not to look at that cast and think Borderlands could turn out to be something pretty special, and this is only going to be the first of many BTS looks we get at the movie as production continues over the coming months.
