Exclusive: Todd McFarlane offers status update on ‘Spawn’

Talk of a Spawn reboot has been percolating for well over a decade, but it looked as though the project was finally coming to fruition back in 2017 when Todd McFarlane announced that not only was the script complete, but he was planning to make it his feature-length directorial debut.

It would be an understatement to say that progress has been slow since then, with the updated version of the 1997 cult favorite struggling to gain any notable traction. Jamie Foxx remains attached to the title role with Jeremy Renner set to lend support, though, while producer Jason Blum maintains that Spawn is a top priority.

Tom Holland responds to rumors of Daredevil cameo in ‘No Way Home’

Kevin Feige recently sent the Marvel Cinematic Universe fanbase into meltdown when he confirmed that if and when Daredevil returns to the franchise, the role will be played by Charlie Cox.

If we take the myriad of rumors we’ve been hearing for years at face value, then Tom Holland would have been aware of this for a very long time. After all, Cox has been linked with a cameo appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Peter Parker’s lawyer since well before the threequel had an official title, so he’ll have been in on the ground floor.

Florence Pugh and Rami Malek join Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’

As one of the most acclaimed filmmakers in the business that’s built his reputation making original films on a scale that very few of his contemporaries are ever afforded, the biggest names in the industry would all jump at the chance to collaborate with Christopher Nolan.

The architect of the Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet and more has always been famed for populating his ensembles with a mix of A-list stars, veteran character actors and fast-rising talents, but upcoming biographical drama Oppenheimer might boast his most stacked roster yet.

An awful movie that wasted an A-list cast is mounting a streaming comeback

What happens when you take an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, place them in charge of a drama designed to tug at the heartstrings and hire A-list megastar Will Smith, Oscar winners Helen Mirren and Kate Winslet, along with multi-time nominees Edward Norton and Keira Knightley, to round out the principal cast? In the case of Collateral Beauty, you get a cinematic dumpster fire.

The fantastical story is one of those movies you can tell has been precision-engineered and specifically designed with awards season glory in mind, but the core creative team apparently forgot that one of the pre-requisites for critical acclaim is making a film that doesn’t suck.

Exclusive: Todd McFarlane compares Topher Grace to Tom Hardy’s Venom

It’s become Hollywood legend that Sam Raimi didn’t want Venom to be a part of Spider-Man 3, before the filmmaker ultimately relented under pressure from the studio to include a character that he wasn’t a particularly big fan of, and that came across in the movie.

Topher Grace was woefully miscast as Eddie Brock, and longtime comic book readers rejected his take on the iconic antihero, one that was really only there to play a part in the climactic third act action sequence and drive up tie-in merchandise sales.

Zendaya addresses popular ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ fan theory

Every new Marvel Cinematic Universe project spawns countless fan theories, but few have come under such intense scrutiny as Spider-Man: No Way Home, especially when we’re little over a week away from the movie coming to theaters and the studios involved are still keeping the biggest secrets close to the chest.

You can guarantee that fans are going to riot if Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire don’t show up for a multiversal cameo, and even though their involvement has been denied on repeated occasions, nobody’s buying it for a second. It’ll create an interesting scenario should the credits roll without them, when Twitter would be absolutely apoplectic without having been promised anything of the sort.

‘Fantastic Four’ star address possible multiversal MCU return

Now that the rights to the characters are finally under the purview of Kevin Feige’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, the chances are exceedingly high that the Fantastic Four are finally going to get the blockbuster treatment they deserve at the fifth time of asking.

The first live-action movie from 1994 was only made so that producer Bernd Eichinger could keep hold of the rights, and it was never released or even made available other than in grainy bootleg form. Tim Story’s mid-2000s duology could very generously be described as mediocre at best, while Josh Trank’s reboot was an unmitigated disaster.

A massively underrated Seth Rogen comedy is blowing up on Netflix

Audiences generally know what to expect when they see Seth Rogen’s name attached to a comedy; he’ll probably be playing a slacker refusing to grow up and take on any responsibilities, there will be plenty of his signature hearty laughter, and at least one reference to his herbal remedy of choice.

While all of the above is technically true of Long Shot, the romantic dramedy has to be viewed as one of the most underrated movies of the actor, director, writer and producer’s career. Rogen’s Fred Flarksy is a journalist who runs into his former childhood babysitter, who also happens to be a fast-rising and hugely influential politician.

Kevin Feige says the MCU is finally ready for the multiverse

The entire inspiration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe came from the simplest of ideas drawn from the comic books; an interconnected set of stories that all took place in the same world, where characters from one series could show up anywhere across the slate to continue joining the dots.

Obviously, nobody in Hollywood had ever attempted anything on such a scale before, but it would be the understatement of the century to say that Kevin Feige pulled it off with aplomb. Now that the MCU is thirteen years, 26 feature films and five TV shows deep, he’s upping the ante again with the introduction of the multiverse.

A disappointing horror movie unlocks streaming success

High concept horror is one of the easiest ways to print money in Hollywood, because audiences will never grow tired of being scared out of their seats, and that becomes especially true when a movie centers on a premise or concept they’ve never seen before.

Everyone knew what to expect from Escape Room going in based on nothing but the title alone, but it was disappointing to see how the film failed to make the most of its unique selling point. It’s not without merit, though, with director Adam Robitel creating an eerie sense of atmosphere, and the cast do a good job with the material, it’s just lacking the spark that could elevate it to the next level.
