Michael B. Jordan was a sight to see in Creed, the spin-off from the Rocky series in which he stars as Adonis, the weary son of Apollo Creed, Rocky’s former rival. A messed-up rich kid, Adonis eventually finds his way to boxing, finds a mentor in Rocky, who works at an Italian restaurant in Philly, and finds a partner…
HBO prestige drama Big Little Lies did great at the Emmys on Sunday, stealing awards like it stole our hearts. Now it seems like the one-off series is getting closer and closer to a second season, which is most likely a terrible idea.
I will go to the mat for the first Pitch Perfect. Anna Kendrick is fetching and quirky; “Cups” is ideal for shower singing; and I’m pretty undiscerning in my fondness for a cappella covers. The sequel is enjoyable not so much because it is especially good, but because I am a sucker for fan service. And that is why I…
Dame Julie Andrews, embodiment of grace, poise, and everything that is lovely and gentle, will not—alas—make a cameo in the upcoming film Mary Poppins Returns. But, as befits Andrews, her reasoning is graciously deferential.
Mamma Mia! The Movie, like so many other films of its (low) caliber, boasts both an excellent cast and a hefty box office return. So, of course, a sequel is in the works.
Before World War Z became a well-reviewed summer blockbuster back in 2013, many people thought it would be a total disaster—a cautionary tale of what happens when too many cooks (with too many egos) are given too much money and not enough time or oversight. But, much like Titanic had done 15 years before it, World…
The Jurassic World sequel is getting the hero it needs—Dr. Ian Malcolm, insurance consultant.
Kinda feels like charity event Red Nose Day has been threatening us with this short sequel to the Christmas classic Love Actually forever, but at least they’ve been charming about it.
“At one point you’ve got it and then you lose it and then it’s gone forever,” went Sickboy’s unifying theory of life, as espoused in Danny Boyle’s 1996 Scottish movie-cum-international phenomenon Trainspotting (based on Irvine Welsh’s 1993 novel of the same name). Then Sickboy used examples like David Bowie and Lou…
Avatar 2 was supposed to be released in Christmas 2018, but James Cameron says that’s “not happening.”
The most contentious Christmas themed love story of our time is getting a very short sequel to be aired for charity, but the real gift is these pictures of Natalie not looking like she’s aged a day.
SuperBowl commercial breaks are primo real estate, and thus often include a number of newly-released, and reasonably lengthy, movie trailers. This year, among a few choice others, we were treated to a new Guardians Of the Galaxy, Vol.2 preview and, you guys, it was set to Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.”
After nearly a year of hot and heavy anticipation, the Cruel Intentions reboot that we didn’t think we wanted until we really, really did is officially dead in the water.
The Passion of the Christ made $612 million worldwide on a $30 million production budget—and there’s still more of Jesus’ story to resurrect.
The last time we saw Mary Poppins, she looked a lot like Julie Andrews and was riding her demonic umbrella into the polluted London sky. The next time we see Mary Poppins, she’ll look a lot like Emily Blunt and will be descending onto the Tower Bridge to hang out with her good friend who looks a lot like Lin-Manuel…
A Waiting to Exhale sequel has been rumored for years, but with Whitney Houston’s passing it seemed like the idea was bound to go with her. Blessing: One of the original film’s leads, Loretta Devine, confirmed that this sequel is (maybe) still coming.
Two decades after the release of Independence Day, the long-awaited sequel, Independence Day: Resurgence, is here with its first trailer. “I spent 20 years trying to get us ready for this,” says Jeff Goldblum’s character, David Levinson, in the clip. “We used their technology to strengthen our planet. But it won’t be…
If it’s not reboots, it’s long-awaited sequels. Trainspotting, the 1996 comedy based on Irvine Welsh’s novel about a group of heroin addicts living in 1980s Edinburgh, is finally getting a follow-up. It will be loosely based on Welsh’s novel, Porno, which followed the lives of the characters ten years after the first…
Hocus Pocus didn’t exactly break the box office when it debuted in 1993, but has since became a Halloween cult classic. Fans weren’t the only ones begging for a sequel—the film’s main stars were interested in making one, too. After head witch Bette Midler jokingly tweeted about the sequel not happening due to the…
After McDreamy got the boot from Shondaland, Patrick Dempsey’s soul has been set free to gallivant around, wherever it may go. First up: the set of Bridget Jones’s Baby, the third film in the Bridget Jones franchise. Dempsey is set to join Renée Zellweger, who will reprise her role as Bridget Jones, and Colin Firth,…
