An assassin (Karen Gillan) and her mentors protect a girl from ruthless criminals in Netflix’s Gunpowder Milkshake.

Netflix has paid some big money for a new horror thriller starring Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) titled CURS>R. The exact amount paid for the film was not revealed, but it was in the high seven figures. The movie also stars Iola Evans (The 100), Eddie Marsan (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), and Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street).

CURS>R follows “a broke college dropout (Evans) who decides to play an obscure, 1980s survival computer game in pursuit of an unclaimed $125,000 prize. But the game curses her, and she’s faced with dangerous choices and reality-warping challenges. After a series of unexpectedly terrifying moments, she realizes she’s no longer playing for the money, but for her life.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m always up for playing a cursed game if money is involved! Sounds like a fun concept for a horror film, and it seems like Netflix will be the perfect home for it.

Toby Meakins is making his directorial debut from a script by Simon Allen. The supporting cast also includes Kate Fleetwood (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1), Ryan Gage (The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies), Angela Griffin (Last Chance Harvey), and Joe Bolland (The Trial of Christine Keeler).

Searchlight Pictures has released the first clip from Wes Anderson’s long-delayed feature The French Dispatch, which features two of the comedic drama’s A-list stars. The film had its world premiere yesterday at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. It is currently slated to arrive in theaters on October 22, 2021, which pits it against another high-profile competitor in the form of Warner Bros. Pictures’ newest film adaptation of Dune which is also being led by Timothée Chalamet.

The French Dispatch clip, which you can check out below, begins with Frances McDormand’s Lucinda Krementz, a journalist who is seen wiping her ruined mascara in a bathroom. She soon realizes that she’s not alone as she discovers that Chalamet’s Zeffirelli is taking a bath in the tub while writing a manifesto.

The French Dispatch is described as a love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city centering on three storylines that bring to life a collection of stories published in “The French Dispatch” magazine.

The A-List ensemble includes Oscar winners Frances McDormand, Benicio Del Toro, Adrien Brody (The Pianist), and Tilda Swinton along with Oscar nominees Timothée Chalamet, Bill Murray (Lost in Translation), and Owen Wilson. Léa Seydoux, Lyna Khoudri, Jeffrey Wright, Mathieu Amalric, Stephen Park are also starring in the film along with Liev Schreiber, Elisabeth Moss, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe, Lois Smith, Saoirse Ronan, Christoph Waltz, Anjelica Huston, Jason Schwartzman, Henry Winkler, and more.

While we all patiently wait to see Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder next year, director Taika Waititi is talking about the film, hyping it up, and, of course, joking around about it. While speaking with Empire, the director talked a bit about how Love and Thunder will be different from any other entry and feature much more emotion.

“It’s very different from Ragnarok. It’s crazier. I’ll tell you what’s different. There’ll be far more emotion in this film. And a lot more love. And a lot more thunder. And a lot more Thor, if you’ve seen the photos.”

The filmmaker went on to say that the movie is the “craziest” film he’s ever made, and then teased:

“If you wrote down all the elements of this film, it shouldn’t make sense. It’s almost like it shouldn’t be made. If you walked into a room and said, ‘I want this and this and this.’ Who’s in it? These people. What are you going to call it? Love and Thunder. I mean, you’d never work again. Maybe I won’t after this.”

I can’t wait to see how crazy that this movie ends up being. Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Tessa Thompson have returned to reprise their roles in the film. It also stars Christian Bale as Gore The God Butcher, Russell Crowe as Zeus, and Chris Pratt is returning as Star-Lord, along with other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

One of the storylines for the film features Jane Foster taking on the mantle of Thor. That story arc is based on Jason Aaron’s comic book run on The Mighty Thor, the story of which follows a cancer-stricken Jane Foster as she takes up the mantle and powers of Thor.

Thor: Love and Thunder is set to arrive in theaters on May 6, 2022.

Disney and Pixar have released the first teaser trailer for their newest coming-of-age animated fantasy film titled Turning Red, which hails from Oscar-winning filmmaker Domee Shi in her feature-length directorial debut. In addition, a brand new poster and first-look images have also been revealed as well as its leading voice cast that includes newcomer Rosalie Chiang and Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh.

The Turning Red teaser, which you can check out below, provides us our first footage of the new Pixar animated film. It introduces us to a young girl as she gets super anxious when she finds out that her Mom is sneakily lurking outside her school. Because of this, she uncontrollably turns into a giant red panda and is next seen crying while jumping on top of roofs while her mom tries to chase her.

Turning Red will be led by young actress Rosalie Chiang as she lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she gets too excited. Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager.

The film is directed by Domee Shi, the filmmaker behind the Oscar-winning Pixar short Bao. She is also known as the first woman to direct a short film for the acclaimed animation studio. Shi has been a Pixar mainstay and has worked on a number of iconic films as a storyboard artist including Inside Out, Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4.

Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell’s The Evil Dead turns 40 years old this year, and to celebrate, Fathom Events and Grindhouse Releasing will be bringing the film back to theaters for one night only. The screening will also be accompanied by an exclusive introduction by Campbell.

The Evil Dead 40th Anniversary comes to movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, October 7, at 7:30 p.m. (local time). Campbell talked about the anniversary celebration with Entertainment Weekly, saying:

“I would not call it the 40th anniversary, I would call it the 42nd anniversary. There’s always a difference between when the movie actually got shot and when it came out. And with Evil Dead, it was about two or three years difference, because we filmed it in 1979, so we’re coming up on 42-odd years later. But it’s fun to celebrate it!”

He went on to share that his introduction is being shot at a drive-in theater, and says that he’s grateful for the longevity of the film’s success:

“I think it’s a good opportunity to look back and be grateful that it hung around this long. People still seem to want to watch it, they still seem to enjoy it. It’s on to the next generation now. It’s not even the original fans. Their children have been introduced to it now. So it’s my job just to keep perpetuating it.”

Campbell also used the opportunity to talk about how the first Evil Dead film is very different than the sequels and the TV series saying:

“If you have not seen it, not much will prepare you for it! It is an unrated movie, so you have to be prepared for that. There are elements that some people would find very disturbing. So I would say it’s not for the faint of heart, but those people who like it, really like it. Each movie of the three is weirdly different. The first Evil Dead is kind of a melodrama, a lot of laughs come out of the excessive effects and hokey dialogue, and bad acting.”

I’ve actually had the opportunity to watch Evil Dead on the big screen before at a Halloween event a few years ago, but hell yeah! I’ll go see it on the big screen again!

Tickets for the 40th-anniversary event go on sale Friday, August 13 at Fathom Events.

Ashley “Ash” Williams (Bruce Campbell), his girlfriend and three pals hike into the woods to a cabin for a fun night away. There they find an old book, the Necronomicon, whose text reawakens the dead when it’s read aloud. The friends inadvertently release a flood of evil and must fight for their lives or become one of the evil dead. Ash watches his friends become possessed, and must make a difficult decision before daybreak to save his own life in this, the first of Sam Raimi’s trilogy.

In addition to the theatrical rerelease, Lionsgate Home Entertainment will also be releasing a collectible box set of The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and all three seasons of Ash vs. Evil Dead this fall. More details to come.

It’s pretty crazy to see how Jackass has grown since it first premiered on MTV back in 2000. 21 years later this crazy-ass group of friends is still doing stupid shit and trying to kill themselves for our entertainment. There’s one more fourth film coming, and that film is officially titled Jackass Forever.

We now have some first-look photos to share with you that feature the return of Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Wee Man, Ehren McGhehey, and Preston Lacy. These photos offer a little tease of what kind of wild stunts these guys will be getting into this time around.

In case you’re wondering what’s going on in the photo above, I believe there’s a piece of poo in that thing and the two guys are trying to keep it from getting in each other’s face… classic gross Jackass.

One person you won’t see in this movie is original cast member Bam Margera. He ended up being fired from the movie when his struggles with addiction and mental health started causing issues while shooting the film.

We’ll be getting a trailer for Jackass Forever next week, and we’ll get a chance to see what might be happening in some of these images! The movie is set to be released on October 22, 2021.

Next month, Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home by bringing it back to select movie theaters across the nation. Screenings will be available at 3 PM and 7 PM on August 19 and August 22 with tickets available now. The film stars William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Nichelle Nichols and will also include the “Three Picture Saga” featurette which has cast and crew looking back over the story arc that spans Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and The Voyage Home.

When a mysterious alien power threatens the atmosphere of Earth in the 23rd Century, Kirk and his crew must time travel back to 1986 San Francisco to save mankind. Exploring this strange new world, they encounter punk rock, pizza, and exact-change buses that are as alien as anything in the far reaches of the galaxy.

Talking about bringing the film back to theaters, Tom Lucas of Fathom Events said:

We are so proud to work with Paramount to bring this Star Trek film back to theatres for the 35th anniversary. Between being nominated for four Academy Awards® and the unconventional storyline, this film, in particular, deserves the big screen treatment.

Fans will be able to enjoy home releases of Star Trek: The Original Series in a Steelbook and collections of the original four films on Blu-ray releasing on September 7.
