Review: ‘Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City’
Hollywood has struggled turning video games into viable movie franchises for the better part of 30 years, and it’s a little ironic that Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil would be the one to break the mold, spawning a six-film series that earned over $1.2 billion at the box office.
Removing the active element when transplanting console properties to the big screen as passive experiences instantly eliminates the very thing that makes them so popular in the first place, so we regularly see filmmakers double down on fan service and Easter Eggs to overcompensate. While that’s all well and good, it can often make the lore impenetrable to newcomers, who end up being hit with a barrage of images, references and plot points that mean nothing to anyone outside of the diehards.

‘Red Notice’ director confirms sequel talks with Netflix
Based on how Netflix have been responding to the movie’s performance so far, the boardroom will be desperate to get a sequel to action blockbuster Red Notice into active development as quickly as possible, especially given the hectic schedules of the three A-list stars.
On top of scoring the most-watched opening day and first weekend in the platform’s history, Dwayne Johnson touted that the globetrotting heist caper has already been viewed by over 150 million subscribers, so when Netflix releases the official data, we’ll be comfortably looking at the streamer’s biggest original film ever.

‘No Time to Die’ still expected to lose money despite box office success
Cary Joji Fukunaga, Daniel Craig and the rest of the No Time to Die team would have been celebrating wildly after it was confirmed that the 25th installment in the James Bond franchise had passed Fast & Furious 9 to become the highest-grossing Hollywood movie to hit theaters since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was released in December 2019.
It’s an impressive achievement given the circumstances, especially with the globetrotting espionage epic having been available on VOD for almost two weeks. At the time of writing, No Time to Die‘s haul is sitting at a mammoth $734 million, and yet there are no guarantees that 007’s latest adventure is going to turn a single penny of profit.

‘The Matrix Resurrections’ producer says it isn’t a sequel
While it’s obviously a fact that a fourth installment in the franchise is incoming, with the movie set to hit theaters and HBO Max on December 22, nobody involved in the production has come right out and said that The Matrix Resurrections is a direct sequel to the original trilogy.
We’ve heard various teases and tidbits of how it references the events that previously unfolded on the big screen between 1999 and 2003, but everyone has stopped short of calling it a continuation. While that’s not much of a surprise given the reality-bending premise of the series as a whole, it’s set to create a lot of curiosity as we approach the final few weeks before release.

Jeremy Renner says Robert Downey Jr. took everyone in the MCU under his wing
The success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it, in an onscreen capacity at least, can be directly attributed to Robert Downey Jr. Had Iron Man not become a critical and commercial smash hit, rejuvenating the actor’s career and turning him into an A-list star overnight, then the franchise as we know it could have turned out much differently.
It’s something that Kevin Feige has admitted on numerous occasions, and it only further enhanced the symbiosis between RDJ and Tony Stark when the MCU’s biggest star and most popular name knew fine well that he was the catalyst for what soon became the most successful film series in history.

‘Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City’ reviews are mixed across the board
The trouble with video game adaptations in general is that many of them fail to strike the balance between pandering to the core fanbase and appealing to those unfamiliar with the source material, which often ends up creating a discrepancy between the critical and fan consensus, which in turn may affect box office takings.
We saw it earlier this year with the Mortal Kombat reboot, which wound up with a solid-if-unspectacular Rotten Tomatoes score of 54% and a commercial haul of less than $90 million, while users deemed it worthy of an 86% rating as it became the most-watched HBO Max hybrid release of the year.

‘The Matrix Resurrections’ director shot the action in 20-minute takes
Younger audiences most likely won’t be aware of the seismic impact that The Matrix had on the industry as a whole at the turn of the millennium, not just the action genre. The Wachowskis changed the game with their jaw-dropping cyberpunk classic, and you could barely turn around for years without bumping into a thinly-veiled imitation.
Suddenly, slow motion and bullet time were being mercilessly replicated or parodied, everybody wore a black leather trench coat and sunglasses, while intricate wire-assisted fight choreography and gun fu became the industry standard. With that in mind, The Matrix Resurrections stunt team would have needed to pull out all of the stops to slap a fresh coat of paint on a formula they came damn close to perfecting back in 1999.

Ridley Scott says he was the 5th choice to direct ‘Alien’
If you’ve been on social media at any point over the last 12 hours, you may have seen Ridley Scott’s name come up on your timeline, with Twitter blasting the filmmaker for claiming that his historical epic The Last Duel bombed at the box office because of those damned millennials and their damned cellphones.
The truth is that almost every movie geared towards older audiences has flopped during the pandemic regardless of how strong the reviews are, and it’s not a coincidence that every title to have bucked the trend since March 2020 is either a high concept blockbuster or a sequel.

Andrew Garfield thanks Lin-Manuel Miranda for making a dream come true
Andrew Garfield has barely been away from the headlines during the last few weeks, and in news that must make the actor so happy, he’s currently been a hot topic of conversation for reasons entirely unrelated to the never-ending discourse surrounding his presumed involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Instead, social media has been fawning over Garfield’s incredible performance in Netflix musical Tick, Tick… Boom!, which has placed him firmly in the Best Actor conversation. Hamilton‘s Lin-Manuel Miranda makes his feature-length directorial debut on the project tracing the all-too-brief life and times of Jonathan Larson, with the star and filmmaker clearly hitting it off.

‘Super Mario Bros.’ producer defends Chris Pratt’s casting
Since being announced as the voice of Mario and Garfield in quick succession, the internet has been having a field day worrying about a world where every single character in animation is obligated to be voiced by Chris Pratt, a terrifying prospect that can’t be completely discounted at this stage.
Illumination Entertainment’s Super Mario Bros. is coming to theaters in December 2022, and it’s got a star-studded ensemble in place that features such heavy hitters as Seth Rogen, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key and more, but all anybody wants to seem to talk about is Pratt’s involvement.

Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t mind getting paid less than Leonardo DiCaprio
The gender pay gap has been a point of contention in Hollywood for many years, if not decades, but it’s something the industry has actively been trying to remedy. The discrepancies between how performers are financially compensated is gradually closing, but it’s probably going to be a while before everyone finds themselves on even footing.
Jennifer Lawrence recently praised Scarlett Johansson for taking legal action against Disney, even though the latter had already landed $20 million upfront for a starring role in a solo movie hailing from the biggest franchise in the history of cinema, because at the end of the day it’s all about principle.

An unexpected name could gatecrash the Oscars’ Best Actor race
We’re gearing up to hit the height of awards season, with a string of prestige dramas already beginning to roll out, with plenty more waiting on the wings. There was widespread shock and outrage last year when Anthony Hopkins was named Best Actor at the expense of the late Chadwick Boseman, but the next recipient could come from anywhere.
Most insiders and analysts have the five-man shortlist pegged to be comprised of The Tragedy of Macbeth‘s Denzel Washington, The Power of the Dog‘s Benedict Cumberbatch, Tick, Tick… Boom!‘s Andrew Garfield, Don’t Look Up‘s Leonardo DiCaprio and King Richard‘s Will Smith, all of whom are major stars and household names.

Keanu Reeves reiterates that he’d love to play Constantine again
If the constant spate of rumor and speculation is even the slightest indication, fans would be overcome with joy were Keanu Reeves to sign on for one of Hollywood’s two premiere shared superhero universes, and we all know that he’s been linked with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DCEU often enough.
You’d have thought Warner Bros. would have the advantage in this situation, though, given that they previously worked with the action star on cult favorite Constantine, a movie that’s only found more supporters in the sixteen years since it was released.
