When asked about Twilight in a recent interview with Variety, Robert Pattinson said he feels like he “stopped mentally progressing around the time when I started doing those movies.” When asked when he’d do a sequel, he joked, “I was literally talking to my agent about it... The amount of time I spend moisturizing, I…
Did we really need a sequel to 2008’s Mamma Mia!, the frothy movie based on an even frothier musical, which itself was conceived as a tribute to the 1970s Swedish mega-pop group ABBA? Regardless of the answer to that question, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again landed in theaters on July 20. Jezebel writers Esther Wang and…
In a satisfying turn of events, Netflix seems to be following my colleague Kelly Faircloth’s advice and exploring the idea of creating a followup to their runaway romcom hit, Set It Up. If you don’t know, Set It Up follows the lives of two high-strung assistants, played by Zoe Deutch and Glen Powell, who hatch a plan…
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…
