Jon M. Chu’s Crazy Rich Asians movie makes a number of changes to the story of Kevin Kwan’s novel, especially when it comes to the ending. Hollywood has been adapting books to the big screen for decades, but how much a movie changes the events or characters of its source material varies greatly. In the case of Crazy Rich Asians, Chu’s movie - with a script by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim - actually stays pretty close to the book....
After a series of Australian tourism ads starring Chris Hemsworth and Danny McBride parodied a return of Crocodile Dundee, it turns out that the series is actually making a comeback. 17 years since the latest entry in the franchise, Paul Hogan confirmed that a legitimate sequel is actually in the works. In the original Crocodile Dundee, Hogan plays the fictional outback legend Mike Dundee as he plays host to a U....
Cuphead is being adapted into a cartoon series called The Cuphead Show by Netflix Animation, with the help of the creators of the game. Cuphead is a run and gun game that uses animation inspired by cartoons from the ’30s, including the works of Max Fleischer and Walt Disney. The quality of the animation of Cuphead was matched only by the brutal difficulty of its gameplay, which earned it a vocal fanbase among the gamers who love a challenge....
WARNING: This article contains Deadpool 2 SPOILERS There’s nothing that Deadpool 2 won’t make fun of, but the jokes around Wade Wilson’s father point to comic book stories much darker than the comedic tone suggests. Considering the level of meta jokes and celebrity cameos, slapstick comedy and over-the-top gore, it’s hard to remember that at one time, Wade Wilson was just an ordinary man. Well, an ordinary hitman… who may have had some military expertise in his past....
After years of hard work, perseverance and months of a seemingly non-stop marketing campaign that could only be described as phenomenal, Deadpool arrived in theaters a little less than a week ago (at the time of writing this). So far, the movie’s stellar box office run has surprised many by crushing records - and it should soon easily top its competitors for the second weekend in a row. A Deadpool sequel is currently in the works, but some fans aren’t content with waiting that long for more of The Merc With A Mouth....

The actor behind Sheldon Cooper, Jim Parsons, has written an emotional letter to the fans and cast of The Big Bang Theory following the announcement that the show would be coming to an end. Set to air its 12th and final season next month, Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady’s The Big Bang Theory tells the story of four geeks who gradually learn to interact outside of their own individual comfort zones, largely thanks to the appearance of a waitress/aspiring actress called Penny who befriends the group....
Update (January 18, 2019): Treyarch released a statement on the Black Ops 4 sub-reddit regarding the yellow triangles. According to Treyarch, the triangles are a bug that will be patched out soon and were only meant to be displayed in parties, not in public lobbies. Original article follows below. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has moved on from simply charging its players for a DLC season pass. Developer Treyarch Studios and publisher Activision have now implemented a system that essentially outlines all users without a season pass with a giant yellow warning sign beside their name....
Black Panther continues to best other superhero films, passing Wonder Woman at the domestic box office and Suicide Squad globally. Despite everything from The Hunger Games to Frozen proving women-led films were box office goldmines, it wasn’t until Wonder Woman surprised everyone last year that studios seemed to perk up. Similarly, from Blade to the Fast & Furious franchise, films showcasing people of color in the lead bring more people (and money) to theaters....
Black Panther’s Letitia Wright has officially been added to the growing cast for Avengers: Infinity War. The 23-year-old actress will portray Shuri in Black Panther to kick off Marvel Studios’ 2018 slate as Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe hurtles toward its end. As T’Challa’s younger sister Shuri, Wright will almost certainly make herself quite familiar to Marvel Studios’ massive audience come 2018. Bringing the biggest characters of all recent MCU entries together for one giant multi-movie battle to protect the universe against the threat of Thanos, Infinity War boasts as deep a cast as you will ever see in an action blockbuster....
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a popular sitcom centered around NYPD detectives that just closed off its sixth season in 2019. While this show definitely relies on a lot of dry, slap-stick humor from Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and his crew, this sitcom is surprisingly genius with its real, serious underlying messages about society. In fact, most of the jokes actually rely on something that is inherently flawed with the police institution or the societal system as a whole....
Capcom is more interested in making sure that they release quality titles than their commercial success, Europe COO Stuart Turner says. Known for their multi-million game franchises including Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, and Resident Evil, the Japanese company has been in the business of publishing and developing video games since 1979. Expanding globally as their games gained accolades over the years, Capcom has subsidiaries in North America, Europe, and East Asia....
Marvel Studios confirms that Captain Marvel 2 is on the way. After years of waiting, Carol Danvers finally made her big screen debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe earlier this year. Played by the Oscar-winner Brie Larson, Captain Marvel became the first female hero to receive a solo movie in the MCU. The importance of this moment drove Captain Marvel to be a mega-hit at the box office, where it earned over $1....
Christopher Nolan spent years ushering in the modern superhero genre with The Dark Knight Trilogy, and it looks like he has no inclination to return for another go-around. It’s no secret that Joel Schumacher’s critically maligned movie, Batman & Robin, effectively killed the Batman franchise, which began with Tim Burton’s groundbreaking 1989 film, Batman. Several filmmakers - from Darren Aronofsky to Joss Whedon - attempted to revive the franchise in the years after, but it wasn’t until Nolan came onto the scene with his take on the character that Warner Bros....
Disney/Pixar films are known for their hidden themes. We’ve seen it countless times through the usage of dialogue, music, and through the usage of objects that contain a hidden meaning. In their upcoming new film Coco, Disney/Pixar delved deep into the culture and traditions behind Día de los Muertos before implementing them in their story. One such tradition was the ofrenda. Adrian Molina, the co-director for Disney/Pixar’s Coco, explained at a press conference for the film the meaning behind the ofrenda and its place in Día de los Muertos....
Danai Gurira knows just how fortunate she is. The actress plays Okoye, a general of the Dora Milaje army in Black Panther as well as the closest advisor to Chadwick Boseman’s character T’Challa, otherwise known as Black Panther. The movie can’t stop breaking records. The Disney/Marvel flick just topped the box office for the fifth straight week, something that’s only been done in the past by the movies Avatar, The Sixth Sense and Titanic, which reigned for 15 straight weeks....
Blackmagic today released a new update to its popular video editing software DaVinci Resolve, which is available for multiple platforms – including macOS. In the Mac version of the app, the company has added full support for Apple’s new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, and the developers say it runs up to five times faster on the new MacBook Pro. DaVinci Resolve was updated with support for M1 Macs earlier this year, which had already improved the app’s performance considerably....
Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Deadpool 2 A Deadpool 2 extended cut is on the way according to director David Leitch. There were several factors behind the success of the first Deadpool movie, but it was primarily Ryan Reynolds, the lower superhero budget, and the vision of director Tim Miller that made it a success story. For the sequel, Reynolds remained while the budget nearly doubled and Miller exited after creative differences with the star/writer/producer....
Jack Kesy’s mysterious villain role may no longer be appearing in Deadpool 2. Directed by John Wick co-director David Leitch, who took over from original Deadpool helmer Tim Miller, the sequel sees the return of Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth as he continues his shenanigans. Story details are still scarce at the moment, but based on the Deadpool 2 trailers, Hunt for the Wilderpeople‘s Julian Dennison’s mystery mutant will play a key role in the narrative....
