‘Midsommar’ director’s cut will be an Apple TV exclusive

[ad_1] The director’s cut will also be released on September 24th and features some extended scenes, a new scene of a pagan ritual and more explicit exposition between the two main characters. The movie focuses on Dani and Christian, a young couple lurching toward a breakup. They’re invited to their friend’s commune in Sweden, which […]

Netflix has shipped 5 billion discs

[ad_1] There’s no doubt that the physical media side of Netflix is small by this stage. There were 14 million disc subscribers in 2011, but that fell to a mere 2.4 million by the second quarter of this year — for context, there are 151 million streaming customers. It is, however, still a money maker. […]

Google search pays tribute to ‘Wizard of Oz’ with a dizzying Easter egg

[ad_1] The Easter egg is available in both desktop and mobile browsers, though you’ll definitely want to act fast if you want to see it without resorting to archives. It’s too soon to say if this is the start of a trend of movie-themed surprises, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the new […]

The ‘Breaking Bad’ movie comes to Netflix on October 11th

[ad_1] There’s no word on whether or not we’ll see Walter White appear. Bryan Cranston has previously acknowledged that the movie was happening, but wouldn’t say if he would play his legendary character. El Camino is billed as a Netflix exclusive, suggesting it won’t be coming to AMC. If so, that reflects just how much […]

A fourth ‘Matrix’ movie is happening

[ad_1] Variety sources claimed production will start in early 2020. As to why they’re revisiting the series, besides money? Lana Wachowski argued that many of the themes from the original Matrix trilogy are “even more relevant” in the modern era. That’s not a far-fetched conclusion. Simulated worlds and artificial intelligence are playing ever more important […]

Netflix’s ‘To All the Boys’ sequel debuts February 12th

[ad_1] And that’s not all! The streaming giant confirmed a third movie is on the way. In fact, To All The Boys: Always and Forever, Lara Jean is already in production. So, fans have two more movies to look forward to once they finish wearing out whatever the digital equivalent of a VHS tape is […]

‘Brave Father Online’ is a ‘Final Fantasy’ movie with heart

[ad_1] Based on a true story, the film is an adaptation of Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light (a Netflix series in most regions). Like the show, the film uses a mix of live action and footage captured in Final Fantasy XIV, the massive multiplayer online game that debuted in 2013 and is still going […]

A ‘Home Alone’ reboot is coming to Disney+

[ad_1] It’s not clear yet what these reboots will look like — Iger only said that they would be “reimagined” for a “new generation” — nor have any timelines been hinted at. We do know, however, that the four franchises join a growing library of content yet to be “reimagined,” including Lady and the Tramp, […]

‘The Matrix’ returns to theaters August 30th with Dolby Vision and Atmos

[ad_1] Tickets are available now through AMC (linked above). This is a not-so-subtle plug for Dolby’s technology, and Warner Bros. certainly won’t object to wringing more money out of a 20-year-old movie. All the same, we wouldn’t object too loudly. This is your chance to relive the experience of watching the movie in 1999, when […]

Netflix forges multi-year animation deal with the team from ‘Big Mouth’

Netflix has struck a deal with Brutus Pink, the new production house from Big Mouth creators Nick Kroll, Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg and Mark Levin. The multi-year arrangement will have the team producing animated movies and shows for Netflix, […]
