‘Cult of Chucky’ Is Coming to Netflix in October
The only thing worse than evil clowns in the things-that-kids-are-supposed-to-like-but-are-actually-terrified-of genre is evil dolls, and the Child’s Play series pretty much has that one on lock. A few months ago we got our first look at the latest installment, Cult of Chucky, which promises even more scares from that orange-haired, rosy-cheeked bringer of terror. The good news is: you can stream it on Netflix next month.
Ron Howard’s Newest ‘Han Solo’ Photo Features the Infamous Kessel Run
The upcoming Han Solo spinoff would be remiss if it didn’t address the most famous of our dear smuggler’s exploits: that time he and the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
‘Cook Off!’ Trailer: Melissa McCarthy Leads the ‘Best in Show’ of Cooking Competition Mockumentaries
We all love The Great British Bake-Off (or, as it’s referred to in the States, The Great British Baking Show), and considering the competition show’s massive popularity even amongst people who can’t boil water without catching something on fire, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood came up with a mockumentary version. Enter Cook Off!
Olivia Munn Says Her ‘Ocean’s 8’ Cameo Cost Her Money, But She’s Not Mad About It
Olivia Munn has a cameo in the upcoming Ocean’s Eight, an all-female take on Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s movies starring George Clooney. Sandra Bullock is taking the Clooney role this time, and has assembled a motley crew of female stars to perform her high-stakes heist. Munn wants everyone to know that she’s not in the movie, per se, but she does have a small bit in one scene. And that small bit cost her a whole lot of money.
‘IT’ Is Now the Biggest September Release in History
It is the adrenaline rush the box office sorely needed after a summer that could accurately be described as “pretty bad” — the new take on Stephen King’s doorstop of a novel is the best horror opening ever, the highest single-day box office for an R-rated movie, the lowest-budgeted movie to gross over $100 million in its opening weekend, and now it’s the biggest opening for a September movie in history.
‘John Wick: Chapter Three’ Gets an Official 2019 Release Date
John Wick is back again… again. Keanu Reeves’ immortal hitman will come out of retirement once more in John Wick: Chapter Three, which Lionsgate has officially announced will hit theaters May 17, 2019.
‘The LEGO Movie Sequel’ Producers Share Extremely Meta Details on the New Movie
The LEGO Movie revealed itself as a meta-exploration into the mind of a child, and all the delightful adventures and characters found therein. For their next trick, co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are going even further, doubling up on their storytelling style to tell the tale from two entirely different perspectives.
Woody Allen’s Next Movie Nabs Jude Law, Diego Luna, Liev Schreiber
Woody Allen isn’t going to let the fact that his most recent movie has yet to premiere stop him from lining up a cast for his next one. Wonder Wheel is set to close this year’s New York Film Festival, and he’s already got his eye on his next movie, which is still untitled and without an official plot. A squad of young folks — Selena Gomez, Timothee Chalamet, and Elle Fanning — have already joined up, and today it was announced that Jude Law, Diego Luna, and Liev Schreiber will also star.
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves Reuniting for Rom-Com ‘Destination Wedding’
Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are kind of the alt version of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet: you know they’re not together, but they’ve appeared as co-stars often enough that you kinda ship them, just a little bit. If that’s you, good news: Reeves and Ryder, last seen together in Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly, are reuniting once again for romantic comedy Destination Wedding.
‘You Were Never Really Here’ Trailer: Joaquin Phoenix Whacks a Bunch of Kidnappers With a Hammer
Lynne Ramsay has been absent from theaters since she brought us the dark and disturbing We Need to Talk About Kevin in 2011, but when You Were Never Really Here premiered at Cannes, as the last In Competition film to screen, the whole festival was floored and it snatched up the awards for Best Screenplay and Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix. The first international trailer for the movie premiered today, which hopefully means we’ll be seeing it in theaters come this fall.
