“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
The David Corenswet-starring "Mr. Irrelevant” is coming off strong test screenings that led Paramount to position Jonathan Levine's sports biopic for a Christmas Day wide release.
Before practically going bankrupt, Row K had planned to release "Cliffhanger" in August 2026 on more than 3000 screens nationwide — hopefully with Vertical it hits as many theaters.
Wait, what happened? Predictions had "Practical Magic 2" finishing in the $40M opening range after strong $4.7M Thursday previews and robust presales. Now it's struggling, and might not even hit $30M.
This year’s 12th edition of the Scary Movies festival at Film at Lincoln Center premiered Ari Aster’s extended version of “Midsommar” this past Saturday.
Enter Jason Momoa who has been confirmed to join the cast of Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s bestselling novel. Momoa joins an already impressive cast which includes Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin.

Jason Momoa believes that Henry Cavill will be by his side at the DCEU for years to come. This is in sharp contrast to what the "Aquaman" star had said in an earlier interview where he stated that he didn’t know what was happening with Cavill in the role of Superman, as rumors hinted that the latter may just retire from the role.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Momoa is now confident that Cavill would not be leaving the DCEU. When asked if Cavill was done with the role, Momoa said, “He’s absolutely not.” He continued, “He loves the character and he’s not [leaving]. 100%.”
“Aquaman” hits theaters on December 21.
Joss Whedon‘s extensive reshoots on “Justice League” no doubt clashed with Zack Snyder‘s original vision. Among the changes, Jesse Eisenberg‘s return as Lex Luthor was reportedly axed, and Gal Gadot‘s Wonder Woman is said to have received more scenes and screentime. It’s not just the characters, the overall mood was rumored to get a lighter makeover with Whedon deviating away from Snyder’s darker palettes for a more colorful tone. “Justice League,” in short, was the mix of two visions and you could see that while watching the film. Sure there’s Zack Snyder’s use of ultra slow-mo, the dark interiors and exteriors he so loves to use, and his penchant for the camera zooming in and out of action sequences, but Whedon crashed the party by pulling back on some of that, so much so that as you’re watching the movie you can tell exactly who shot what. The work of these two titan directors that couldn’t be more different, resulted in the “Justice League” that we got.
