The amount of content spanning through the seven Harry Potter books is incredibly extensive. Many fans of the books may have been dissapointed to find their favourite moments omitted from the movies. However, as with any book to movie adaptation, some stuff just had to give! It couldn’t have been easy with the Harry Potter franchise; a fact made explicitly clear by the last book being stretched into a two-part finale....

While we are still a few days from the debut of Jamie Clayton’s Pinhead in Hulu’s new Hellraiser movie, the actress’ portrayal of Clive Barker’s Hell Priest has already been getting a lot of attention. Taking over the iconic role that was played for decades by Doug Bradley, Clayton appears to be bringing the Cenobite leader back to its roots with an adaptation that also seems to be breathing some much needed life into the Hellraiser franchise after several lacklustre sequels....

Disney draws inspiration from lots of different places when making feature films. A lot of the time it adapts classic fairy tales and children’s stories and puts its own spin on them; other times, it turns to old works to reimagine them as live action movies or to create a follow-up sequel, prequel or spin off. Plenty of its movies are also original concepts, devised in the imaginations of its writers....

As Tom Hanks stated, “Everybody loves Julia – everybody”. He was referring, of course, to the Pretty Woman herself, Julia Roberts who received the 22nd Cinematheque Award at the Beverly Hilton. She was lauded for her contributions to the art of the Moving Picture, by this organization, established in 1981, that celebrates film in all its forms. Prior recipients include Michael Douglas, Nicole Kidman, Al Pacino and Tom Cruise, so she certainly was in good company....

The Daredevil Season 3 trailer is an action-packed tease of the hit show, throwing more questions into the mix as opposed to answers. Matt Murdock’s archenemy Wilson Fisk is out of prison and intent to smear the reputation of the superhero, adding an imposter into the story, who participates in crime instead of fighting it. The already crushed Murdock is on a dark path, which appears to be getting darker as the trailer moves along, questioning his faith and isolating himself from friends and family....

On Twitter, Gunn has been interacting with fans asking him questions about what to expect from the future of the DCU. This includes his verification that they’ll be expanding upon the DCU movie established in feature films with the production of more spinoff TV shows, such as we saw with Peacemaker on HBO Max....

The specter of Zack Snyder’s DCEU has been something Warner Bros. never quite managed to exorcize. That still seems to be the case as The Hollywood Reporter revealed that even immediately prior to the appointment of James Gunn and Peter Safran as DC Studios CEOs the studio were still considering Justice League 2 as a viable option. Now it seems that Gunn and Safran’s plans are not only abandoning that particular route, but looks set to completely change the guard of the DCU, which could spell the end for the likes of Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot and even Henry Cavill....

There are some castings that are just meant to be, and as many that are “almost weres”. One such anomaly in the world is that the role of Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park was almost played by none other than Jim Carrey before he became a huge comedy star on the back of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. How exactly that would have played out on screen is one of those things we can only let our mind imagine, but it is hard to picture someone like Carrey managing to pull off the sardonic wit of Malcolm as well as Jeff Goldblum and who knows whether it would have led to a completely different version of Jurassic Park: The Lost World in which Ian Malcolm took center stage....

There have been a ton of new dinosaurs added to the Jurassic franchise ever since we heard Richard Attenborough first utter the iconic phrase, “Welcome to Jurassic Park,” way back in 1993. Most of the ferocious beasts have been real and actually existed in history, but there have been some, such as hybrid dinosaur Indominus Rex, that never existed, though are nonetheless pretty cool. Each Jurassic installment seems to bring the audience something new in the way of dinosaurs, and the last movie of the series Jurassic World Dominion is no exception....

Lakeshore Entertainment and MGM have signed on Kevin Tancharoen to make his feature-length directorial debut with Fame, a remake of the kitschy 1980 Alan Parker-directed drama.

MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY Most recently, Mann could be seen in The Bubble, a meta-comedy film by Judd Apatow released to Netflix earlier this year....
