The singer, who has directed one short film so far, was given the spot over many reputed filmmakers.

If you were to ask any DC fan which project they’d love to see come to life, there’s a very high chance Batman Beyond would be very near the top of the list. We’ve been hearing for years (if not decades) that the wildly popular iteration of the Caped Crusader was in development for live-action, but on every occasion it’s proven to be nothing more than rumor and hearsay. There was a glimmer of hope it could finally happen for real when Michael Keaton was announced to be returning as a veteran Bruce Wayne, but recent…

Comic book fans around the world are still trying to wrap their heads around Warner Bros. Discovery canceling a $90 million blockbuster that was already shot and in the can as a cost-cutting measure, but Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are hoping the resurgent Brendan Fraser can lend them an assist. The beloved actor played the villainous Firefly in the would-be HBO Max exclusive that nobody’s ever going to see unless something drastic changes, but a DC adaptation boasting an iconic hero, ties to the…

Comparing the Russo Brothers to the Super Mario Bros is not something that likely ever would have crossed my mind until I saw Chris Pratt’s Instagram story. But, nevertheless here we are, someone has photoshopped Mario and Luigi hats and mustaches onto Anthony and Joe Russo, and I can’t look away. With The Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer being released, we got our first looks at lots of beloved characters including, Princess Peach, Toad and Mario’s brother Luigi. This movie has been highly talked about and memed for a…

Simu Liu looked like the poster boy for the next generation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, adored by fans for his unconventional route to blockbuster films — but he’s quickly learned that nothing lasts forever as fans suddenly turn on him. The Quentin Tarantino hot take debacle has seen a lot of opinions fly out, as Liu has vehemently defended himself and his Marvel co-stars from the famed director’s criticism. Liu’s tweets took offense at the insinuation of there being no real movie stars anymore, while fans…

Everything Everywhere All at Once was perhaps this year’s breakout star for A24, which is an impressive distinction given the additional presence of X, Pearl, Bodies Bodies Bodies, and the upcoming Darren Aronofsky drama The Whale. Indeed, the combined penmanship and directorial efforts of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert scored a massive victory with their subversive arthouse spectacle, somehow managing to twist multiverse nuances into something delightfully original. But, in the grand calculus of said multiverse, there…

In the making of 2022's Scream, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet stepped into some massive shoes given that Wes Craven, one of the greatest horror directors of all time, had helmed the four previous installments. Things most definitely worked out well in that case, as the film was a hit when it was released earlier this year and a sequel is on the way in 2023 – and evidently it's inspired a big dose of confidence, as the filmmakers are now planning to "reboot" a John Carpenter classic: Escape From New…
