  • Disney's Release Date Shuffle

    Disney has just announced a series of date shifts, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation for their most highly-awaited films. The shake-up comes in response to the ongoing WGA Strike, with some projects opting to wait it out before rolling cameras, resulting in a ripple effect throughout the industry.

  • Jurassic Park Turns 30 Years Old, Avatar Gets a Surprise Edit, and Who is Venom?

    During the Summer Game Fest reveal for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, creative director Bryan Intihar confirmed that Eddie Brock will not be the one to bond with the symbiote in the upcoming sequel. This has led to a lot of speculation about who will be the new Venom.

    One popular theory is that Harry Osborn will become Venom. Harry was infected with the Goblin serum in the first game, and he has been shown to be struggling with his mental health in the sequel's trailers. It's possible that he will bond with the symbiote in an attempt to cure himself, only to become a new, more powerful villain. Another possibility is that Miles Morales will become Venom. Miles has already bonded with a different symbiote, the Carnage symbiote, in the comics. It's possible that he will bond with the Venom symbiote in the sequel, and use its power to fight crime.
    Disney+ quietly edited the original version of Avatar to add a sequel hook for Avatar: The Way of Water. The change was noticed by viewers after the 2022 sequel arrived on the streaming service on June 7. The new footage shows the human antagonist Parker Selfridge briefly walking out of the crowd to address Jake and Neytiri, saying, "You know this isn't over," before walking away. This moment is viewable at the 2:32:45 mark on the Disney+ version. However, this change feels unnecessary as the sequel has already been released, and Selfridge did not factor into it at all. It has been reported that Selfridge will play a part in the rest of the Avatar sequels

      • Zelda Fixes, Game of Thrones Spinoffs, and John Wick 5

        Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated Thunderbolts film has been affected by the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, according to Deadline. The strike has led Marvel to temporarily halt production on Thunderbolts, which was scheduled to commence filming in Atlanta in three weeks. Sources indicate that production is expected to resume once the strike is resolved. Similarly, Marvel Studios’ Disney+ series Wonder Man was also in the middle of filming when production came to a standstill due to the strike.

        HBO is currently in the early stages of developing a Game of Thrones sequel series centered around Kit Harington’s character, Jon Snow. Francesca Orsi, HBO’s head of drama, provided an update on the project in an interview with Deadline. Although Harington is attached as a star and executive producer, it is still uncertain whether the spinoff will ultimately move forward. The series, tentatively titled “Snow,” would continue Jon Snow’s story after the events of Game of Thrones, where he killed Daenerys and was sent back to the Night’s Watch. HBO has multiple Game of Thrones spinoffs in the works, including “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,” which will adapt George R.R. Martin’s “Tales of Dunk & Egg” novellas. However, due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, production on these spinoffs, including the Jon Snow project, is currently on hold. The second season of “House of the Dragon,” another Game of Thrones prequel series, is expected to premiere in 2024 and is unaffected by the strike. Both Game of Thrones and the first season of House of the Dragon are available for streaming on HBO Max.

        Daniel Craig Confirmed for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessDescription:In a recent interview on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Elizabeth Olsen confirmed Daniel Craig's rumored appearance as Balder the Brave in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Olsen becomes the first on-screen star to verify Craig's involvement in the film, despite his noncommittal stance. The podcast interview also clarifies Olsen's collaboration with John Krasinski and sheds light on the character Balder the Brave's almost inclusion in the movie. Balder, a significant figure in Norse mythology, is the half-brother of Thor. Olsen's confirmation strengthens the anticipation surrounding her reprisal of Wanda Maximoff in the Disney+ show Agatha: Coven of Chaos, with hopes for a more satisfying storyline. Access the full interview on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast for further insights.Tina Turner, Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, Dies at 83Description:Tina Turner, the iconic rock and soul music legend, has passed away at the age of 83, leaving behind a remarkable seven-decade legacy. Known as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," Turner paved the way for divas like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Christina Aguilera. With a powerful and gritty voice, she achieved success with hits like "Proud Mary," "What's Love Got to Do With It," and "The Best." Despite facing health challenges such as a stroke and cancer, Turner continued to captivate audiences. Born Anna Mae Bullock, she began her career as a singer in her teens and rose to fame alongside her former husband Ike Turner. Through their dynamic performances and constant touring, they became influential figures in early rock 'n' roll and R&B. Turner's contributions to music and her role as a role model make her a true legend in the industry. Warner Bros. Discovery Reverses Course on Max's Controversial Credit ChangesDescription: Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming service, Max, faced backlash after it consolidated film directors and writers under a single "creators" category. This change prompted criticism from filmmakers and Hollywood's directors and writers' guilds. However, the company has now announced that it will revert the listings back to their original format on HBO Max, attributing the issue to a technical oversight during the transition. The decision to consolidate credits drew ire, especially amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. Filmmakers and guilds expressed their disappointment and frustration with the change, highlighting the importance of recognizing individual contributions. Warner Bros. Discovery's decision was seen as disrespectful and insulting to the artists who create the films and TV shows. The dispute over credits further reflects the ongoing negotiations between the guilds and major studios. Despite the controversy, the newly relaunched Max offers an expanded content library, combining programming from HBO Max and Discovery.
