Jacob O — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 06:48:00 +0000

This year’s WGA Awards were a long time coming, and the strike-delayed ceremony was finally held this past weekend. The Holdovers and American Fiction dominated movie categories, while Succession, The Bear, and Beef came out victorious in the TV field.

After losing the Oscar for best original screenplay at the Oscars, The Holdovers was finally honored in the same category at the WGA Awards. It was nominated alongside Air, Barbie, May December, and Past Lives, and defeated them all to take the trophy home.

Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction, the winner of the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, won big in the same category at the WGA Awards. It competed against Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Killers of the Flower Moon, Nyad, and Oppenheimer this time around.

When it comes to the TV categories, the main awards went to three shows that dominated the rest of the award season. Succession, The Bear, and Beef collected trophies for the best drama series, best comedy series, and best limited series, respectively, while The Last of Us was named the best new series.

After being hit by a major delay caused by last year’s writers’ strike, the WGA Awards returned to Los Angeles on April 14.

“Alien: Romulus” Trailer Shows Young Space Travelers Fighting for Survival

Jacob O — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 06:04:00 +0000

The Alien franchise has been alive and kicking for decades, and its ending is nowhere in sight. Alien: Romulus will introduce this sci-fi horror series to a new generation of viewers through a story of young space travelers fighting for survival in the deep ends of space.

Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), Isabela Merced (Madame Web), David Jonsson (Rye Lane), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Spike Fearn (Aftersun), and Aileen Wu lead the cast of Alien: Romulus, which centers on a group of young space colonizers facing grave danger while scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station.

Álvarez’s decision to focus on a younger cast of characters was very intentional, and he was always interested in telling the stories of kids growing up in a space colony, who had nowhere to turn.

“It had all the DNA of the originals, but it automatically felt different and fresh, mostly because kids that age approach problems in a completely different way than adults do and professional adults do. So it’s just a completely different viewing experience,” Álvarez told The Hollywood Reporter.

Alien: Romulus was initially only intended for Hulu release, but 20th Century Studio eventually decided to release it theatrically on August 16.

The Academy Awards finally returned to Los Angeles this Sunday, and it was a night to remember for the team behind Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan’s latest film stole the show at the Oscars and walked away with a whopping seven statuettes, including best picture.

Oppenheimer was competing against Barbie, The Holdovers, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest for the best picture prize and managed to defeat them all. Christopher Nolan also celebrated his very first best director win for his work on this film.

Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. collected acting accolades for best actor and best supporting actor, respectively, for their work in Oppenheimer. Poor Things’ Emma Stone (best actress) and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph (best supporting actress) joined them as winners in the acting field.

Oppenheimer was also crowned as the winner in several technical categories, including best original score, best cinematography, and best film editing. The teams behind Poor Things and The Zone of Interest also had a reason to celebrate, since these films walked away with four and two Oscars, respectively.

Marvel Announces Main Cast of New “The Fantastic Four” Movie

Jacob O — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:41:00 +0000

Marvel Studios has been plotting the next The Fantastic Four movie for quite some time, and they found a perfect time to officially announce it. Marvel celebrated Valentine’s Day by revealing that Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will lead this superhero flick.

Pascal has long been rumored to play Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, and his casting has finally been confirmed. The Mandalorian and Last of Us star is one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, and he’ll soon be seen in Drive-Away Dolls before playing one of the key roles in Gladiator 2.

Pascal will be joined by Vanessa Kirby (The Crown, Mission: Impossible franchise) as Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) as Ben Grimm aka the Thing.

Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer wrote the script for the latest The Fantastic Four reboot, while WandaVision helmer Matt Shakman is on board to direct it. This marks the third attempt to bring this superhero film to the big screen, following Tim Story’s two films in 2005/2007 and Josh Trank’s critically panned 2015 reboot.

The Fantastic Four will hit the theaters on July 25, 2025, taking Thunderbolts’s previously announced release date.

DC Universe Finds its Supergirl in “House of the Dragon” Star Milly Alcock

Jacob O — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 06:32:00 +0000

Many amazing actresses played Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, over the years, and Milly Alcock is the next one in line! House of the Dragon star is joining James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe as Clark Kent’s Kryptonian cousin Supergirl.

Alcock emerged as one of the front-runners for the role of Supergirl earlier this month, and she defeated tough competition in Emilia Jones and Meg Donnelly to win this part. This will mark her first major role since she got her big break as the young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first season of HBO’s epic fantasy series House of the Dragon.

James Gunn previously said that their version of Supergirl will be unlike anything we’ve seen from this character before.

“We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from, you know, the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip-off of Krypton and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways,” said Gunn, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Alcock will lead her standalone movie Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, but she’s expected to appear in another DC project before flying solo. It’s still unclear if she’ll make a cameo in Superman: Legacy alongside David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan.

Jacob O — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 06:13:00 +0000

The first two seasons of The Bear served some major TV magic, and there’s more where that came from! After a lot of speculations about the future of this acclaimed culinary dramedy, FX finally announced they’ve renewed it for its third season.

Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, released an official statement announcing the show’s renewal and praised the creative team that made its success possible.

“We’re so proud to partner with Christopher Storer, Joanna Calo, Josh Senior, and the rest of the creative team… What they and the crew have done is truly remarkable, and we and our partners at Hulu join fans in looking forward to the next chapter in the story of The Bear,” said Grad in a statement.

The Bear is set in the heart of the Chicago culinary scene, and it centers on the young chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto. He’s trying to keep his family’s rundown beef sandwich shop afloat and deal with unresolved debts and an unruly staff that his brother left behind.

The Bear is led by the Golden Globe-winner Jeremy Allen White, while its supporting cast includes the likes of Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson.
