This time around, the down-on-his-luck captain is being pursued by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), who is hell-bent on killing Jack, and his only hope of survival is teaming up with a brilliant astronomer named Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario) and a young sailor named Henry (Brenton Thwaites) to recover the legendary Trident of Poseidon....

When we last checked inwithSandmanearlier this summer, it was part of a split within Warner Bros. that had sent it to the studio’s sibling, New Line Cinema.Sandman, based offNeil Gaiman’s comic series that follows Morpheus, who is basically the god of dreams (in addition to being called “Morpheus” and “Sandman”, he’s also called “Dream”). It’s an amazing, powerful series with an emphasis on theseries, so naturally, Warner Bros. has been working for years to turn it into a movie....

Following therelease of promotional imagesteasing an array of possibilities for the 90-minute Christmas special, a trailer for the full episode has finally landed.

In 1997, the movieSelenatold the beautiful, meteoric, and ultimately tragic story ofSelena Quintanilla, an iconic musical superstar who rose through the Tejano music scene and crossed over into global pop success before being murdered by her former business associate and friend at the age of 23. Now, 23 years later, we’re receiving another take on the life of Selena, in the form of a prestige Netflix TV series. The trailer forSelena: The Seriesis below....

Apple Original Films and Skydance’s featureThe Gorgeis certainly not letting any A-list talent fall through the cracks asDeadlinehas announced that the Academy Award-nominatedSigourney Weaver(Avatar) will be joining apreviously announcedlineupconsisting ofMiles Teller(Top Gun: Maverick) andAnya Taylor-Joy(The Menu).DirectedbyScott Derrickson,who made big moves in 2022 with the release of his horror featureThe Black Phone, plot details haven’t been released at this time. However, as per Deadline, audiences can expect “a high-action, genre-bending love story....

Let me start with the most important thing first:Mission: Impossible – Falloutis a monster home-run of a movie. Writer-directorChristopher McQuarrie(the first director to return to theMissionfranchise) andTom Cruisehave crafted an action extravaganza that’s loaded with tons of “I can’t believe they just did that!” moments. As most of you know, Cruise is famous for doing his own stunts, and what he does inFalloutwill leave your jaw on the ground. But beyond flying a helicopter in crazy ways, riding a motorcycle at high speeds through oncoming traffic in Paris, and jumping out of a plane at thirty-five thousand feet, there is a fight scene in a bathroom withHenry CavillandLiang Yangthat is worth the price of admission alone....

Vanderpump Ruleswill go down in history as being one of the most iconic reality shows of this generation. The series has brought us some of the most memorable moments and stars these past 11 years, but all good things must come to an end. The last few seasons have felt different for a number of reasons, the main of which is the entire cast practically refusing to be near each other towards the end....

Anticipation is sky high for this summer’sSpider-Man: Homecoming, but the film is almost as interesting behind the scenes as it is in front of the camera. It’s the result of painstaking talks and negotiations between Marvel Studios’Kevin Feigeand producer/former Sony headAmy Pascal, and it encapsulates three separate studios coming together to make one movie. Sony Pictures finances and distributes, while Marvel Studios (owned by Disney) takes the creative lead and gets to useTom Holland’s Spider-Man in specific Marvel Cinematic Universe movies likeCaptain America: Civil WarandAvengers: Infinity War....

Spoilers ahead forSpider-Man: Far From Home. One of the best things aboutSpider-Man: Far From Homeis the first post-credits scene. After being on the lookout for just a “Daily Bugle” reference throughout the entire movie, the scene has Spider-Man seeing a news report from DailyBugle.com, and who should be the host but J. Jonah Jameson played by none other thanJ.K. Simmons, who owned the role inSam Raimi’s trilogy ofSpider-Manmovies. I literally cheered when he came on screen, and kudos to Marvel for keep that cameo under wraps....

A few weeks back, Marvel releasedTaika Waititi’s lively yet slightThor: Ragnarokwhile this weekend saw the release ofZack Snyder’sJustice League, a genuine disaster. That means that little more than a few weeks stands between hungry audiences andStar Wars: The Last Jedi, the eighth volume in the proper Star Wars saga, not includingRogue Oneor the upcoming Han Solo movie. Of course, some people might be really looking forward toCoco- I hear its very good - but in the realm of blockbusters, Marvel, DC, and Star Wars are the big players at the table....

It’s no secret the CW’s hit showSupergirlgives the audience a heavy dose of politics as part of its weekly action-adventure story. The sci-fi, horror, and fantasy genres have always been a way for creators to put a mirror to society at large and show us the best (and the worst) of ourselves. And given the climate of the last couple of years, the writers and producers of the show have leaned into the topic more heavily this season, in large part because a lot of the characters are employed in the press, and the free press is under attack every day in the real world....

Marvel has always thought outside the box with their directorial choices. Who would ever think the guy who wrote & directedSlitherwould one day be responsible for Marvel’s biggest franchise? Who in their right mind would hire an indie filmmaker with two credits to his name to helm theSpider-Manreboot? And yet each of these choices have paid off in spades:James Gunnused his wild ‘Troma’ style to craft the irreverentGuardians of the GalaxyandJon Wattsused his indie skills to groundSpider-Maninto the most relatable iteration of the character yet....
