Steven Spielberg developing new movie inspired by ‘Bullitt’

Even though he cemented his reputation as one of cinema’s greatest directors a long time ago, Steven Spielberg also happens to be one of the most prolific, with his love for filmmaking remaining as strong as ever.

December’s West Side Story won rave reviews and is currently up for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, while his semi-autobiographical drama The Fabelmans is penciled in for release in November of this year, and it’s already being pegged as a potential awards season contender.

‘The Batman’ director addresses potential Superman appearance

With less than a week to go before Matt Reeves’ The Batman hits theaters, the director is opening up about whether other superheroes from DC, including Superman, could possibly show up in sequels.

Obviously, there’s already a shared universe out there that features the likes of Wonder Woman, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and the HBO Max hit show Peacemaker — but Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight exists in his own separate pocket of the mythology, with Reeves instead using the term “Batverse” to describe his his world.

A 2006 comedy that nobody liked finds massive success on Netflix

The unpredictable world of trying to predict which movies are capable of finding a new lease of life on streaming can be summed up neatly by the current and inexplicable popularity being enjoyed by Employee of the Month.

The 2006 comedy starring Jessica Simpson, Dane Cook, and Dax Shepard, which earned less than $40 million at the box office and wound up with a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 20%, is currently the 16th most-watched title on Netflix’s global charts if you can believe it.

A relentlessly mediocre sequel hits #1 on streaming

We’ve been conditioned not to believe anyone who says the latest installment in a money-spinning franchise will be the last, so we were always skeptical when creator James DeMonaco touted The Forever Purge as the final entry in the dystopian series.

Sure enough, Frank Grillo confirmed that he was on his way back as Leo Barnes, with DeMonaco admitting the only way he’s making the film is with Grillo’s involvement, or he’s not doing it all. That particular trail may have gone cold in the last few months, but The Forever Purge has exploded in popularity on streaming.

Charlie Cox teases that he knows ‘something’ about his MCU return

The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t the sort of franchise to give fans exactly what they want after years of demands and campaigning, only to relegate the subject of said campaign to a one-scene cameo and then call it a day.

With that in mind, the hype levels surrounding Charlie Cox‘s canonical debut as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home have only increased since the movie landed in December, especially when the actor admitted that the next decade of his life could be spent playing in Kevin Feige’s sandbox.

Will Smith’s King Richard was released less than four months after Green’s other 2021 biopic, but the differences between the two are night and day on almost every level, besides the shared misfortune of flopping at the box office due to the lack of interest audiences have continually shown towards adult-skewing fare.

Fans of erstwhile Gellert Grindelwald portrayer Johnny Depp are in for a bittersweet 2022. The third installment of Harry Potter spinoff series Fantastic Beasts is finally set to hit theaters this July after multiple postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Depp will not be returning to play the infamous dark wizard, Grindelwald.

Both Colin Farrell and Matt Reeves have explained that Oswald Cobblepot isn’t necessarily the Penguin we know and love in The Batman just yet, but his arc will eventually culminate in him cementing his reputation as one of the Gotham City underworld’s most feared figures.

We can safely assume that we’ll be seeing plenty of Farrell’s handsome visage buried under a mountain of prosthetics for years to come after the character was announced for an HBO Max spinoff series, and while he may end up twirling an umbrella in The Batman, we won’t be seeing Penguin’s signature cigarette holder after Warner Bros. stepped in to shut it down, as the actor revealed to Jake’s Takes.

A cult favorite that might yet get a sequel charges into battle on streaming

Proving once and for all that the sentiments of the Star Wars fanbase can change on a dime, many of the same people who lauded Robert Rodriguez’s franchise debut on The Mandalorian episode “The Tragedy” are now demanding he stay as far away from the camera as possible following The Book of Boba Fett.

The latest Disney Plus series set in a galaxy far, far away proved to be fairly polarizing, but one huge positive is that it could realistically lead to the Mouse House pulling the trigger on an Alita: Battle Angel sequel. Rodriguez has hardly been shy in admitting that he’s hoping to use his Star Wars cache as a means to leverage another slice of blockbuster sci-fi into existence, and it would be an understatement to say he’s got plenty of backing.

‘Fast & Furious 10’ set to rev into production in April

Vin Diesel’s transparent ploy to lure Dwayne Johnson back into the Fast & Furious family may have failed when the longtime Luke Hobbs criticized his former co-star for bringing up both his own family and Paul Walker in an attempt to coax him out of self-imposed exile, but that hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of the fanbase one bit.

The tenth and eleventh installments in the blockbuster franchise are shooting back-to-back to tie off the story of Dominic Toretto and his crew’s preposterous string of globetrotting escapades, and the gang will have been living life a quarter mile at a time for 23 years by the time the grand finale hits theaters in 2024.

It must have been a daunting task for writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers to sit down and hammer out the screenplay for the project that eventually became Spider-Man: No Way Home, knowing full well they were facing a multiversal minefield.

Not only did the duo have to incorporate Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parkers into the mix, but there was also the small matter of five multiversal villains to contend with, never mind the direct continuation of Far From Home‘s cliffhanger ending, or the need to round out Tom Holland’s solo trilogy in narratively satisfying fashion.

A surprisingly solid horror prequel bites into the Netflix most-watched list

There’s something blatantly cynical about a prequel being made well over a decade after the original, a telltale sign of a studio looking to continue mining a valuable property without having to recast or reboot.

However, Brett Ratner’s Red Dragon surprised a lot of people when it arrived in October 2002, where it quickly gained a reputation as the second best-reviewed outing for Thomas Harris’ iconic literary cannibal. Sure, some fans will prefer Michael Mann’s Manhunter or Ridley Scott’s Hannibal, but we can all agree it’s miles in front of Hannibal Rising.

No franchise in the industry generates as much fervent speculation as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that’s becoming increasingly true for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as it edges closer to release, with the sheer volume of rumors and theories already close to reaching Spider-Man: No Way Home levels.

We’ve seen Michelle Pfeiffer’s sultry and seductive turn in Batman Returns, Anne Hathaway’s femme fatale in The Dark Knight Rises, and whatever the hell Halle Berry was doing in Catwoman on the big screen during the last three decades, so there was a fair amount of leeway available for Kravitz to create her performance.

An underrated offbeat comedy flop roams the Netflix charts

Judd Apatow was the undisputed king of Hollywood comedy throughout the 2000s and most of the 2010s, but even the prolific writer, director, and producer didn’t boast a 100% success rate, even if the hits vastly outweighed the misses.

One of the rare Apatow-backed productions to bomb hard at the box office was David Wain’s Wanderlust, which could only cobble together $24 million on a $35 million budget. The marketing sold it as another straightforward laugh-fest featuring many familiar faces from the so-called ‘Frat Pack’, but Wain’s style of humor has always favored the offbeat over the mainstream, so many audiences probably didn’t get the movie they were expecting.
