Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law, produce a crappy remake. When José Padilha’s RoboCop remake hit theaters in 2014, it was…something else all right. A PG-13 take on a movie that satirizes the Reagan administration and blasts corporate greed to smithereens – oh, and also features the hero shooting a guy in the dick – the RoboCop remake was about as lousy as you’d think, at least compared to Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 action classic. And that’s about where its star, Joel Kinnaman, stands on the matter, saying the RoboCop remake lost touch with what people loved about the original.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Joel Kinnaman said that while he liked the experience of working on the RoboCop remake and helping Padilha bring his vision to the big screen, there was a serious disconnect between what they were doing and what fans of Verhoeven’s film wanted.

The Greatest Brazilian Jiu-jitsu fighter in the world is looking to fight me.
“Put your hands up,” Rickson Gracie tells me as he advances. “Like you’re talking like an Italian.”
I raise my hands as he lunges toward my head.
“Don’t let me touch your face.”
Gracie — the 63-year-old legend with shorn hair and tanned skin — is wearing gray shorts and a black T-shirt. He’s muscular and compact. I’m taller, but that’s about it. He can choke me unconscious with little to no effort. His hands shoot out,...

Intro: Just like any successful movie franchise from any particular decade, there’s one unwritten rule; if it’s much loved, generated enough in box office returns, and is clearly still a relevant IP, you know what to eventually expect. Yup, that’s right movie-fans – a remake! Love em’ or loathe em’ they’re not going away anytime soon, and sometimes they can not only offer a fascinating take on the original movie but also enhance the legacy by bringing in a whole new audience. 1982’s The Thing is an incredible remake of the 1951 original, along with similarly effective fellow horror remake The Fly from 1986. Also, more recently we’ve had gems such as Martin Scorsese’s The Departed, the hugely popular A Star is Born and, of course, The Wicker Man. Okay, maybe not that particular example, but Nicolas Cage randomly punching people in a bear suit has to hold some value to movie-fans,...

Marvel’s Iron Man once might have slightly rubbed Oscar-winner Gary Oldman the wrong way. To Oldman, Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero blockbuster highlighted a problem Oldman had with many modern day blockbusters.

Oldman has been a part of some of the film industry’s most lucrative and profitable franchises. He spent years playing a pivotal role in the Harry Potter series as the wizard Sirius Black. Apart from that, he’s contributed his talents to Matt Reeves’ rebooted Planet of the Apes films and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
In a 2014 interview with Esquire, Oldman felt he was fortunate to be able to star in so many popular blockbusters. Especially since doing so offered him a lot of downtime.

Narcos director José Padilha has settled a lawsuit against his production partner Eric Newman alleging the series showrunner cheated him out of millions in profits by concealing revenue.
The two sides reached an agreement to resolve the suit, according to a court document filed on Monday. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Newman, through his production company Spahn Ranch, and Padilha, through his production company Cold Mountain, report to each other all proceeds arising from exploitation of Narcos, including money from audits of and bonuses from Gaumont Television, according to the complaint. Under their profit sharing agreement, they have an equal split of all revenue.
But Padilha said he’s being shorted because the contract is structured in a way that the amount of money paid to Newman by Gaumont isn’t completely transparent. He claimed that the studio has paid Newman...

“Narcos” executive producer José Padilha is suing the show’s director Eric Newman over an alleged 1 million in unpaid revenue and breach of contract, claiming that his producing partner did not report certain profits totaling in the “several millions of dollars,” which reneges on a previous agreement to split all incomes received 50-50.
“Despite Plaintiffs’ efforts to obtain information and documents from Defendants concerning their receipt of revenues, income, and proceeds arising from or connected with ‘Narcos,’ Defendants have steadfastly refused to meaningfully communicate with Plaintiffs or otherwise provide Plaintiffs with any information or documents concerning the revenues, income, and proceeds Defendants have received based on ‘Narcos’ and have concealed all information from Plaintiffs concerning payments Defendants have received from the exploitation and huge success of Narcos,” the suit, which was filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court and demands a jury trial, reads.

A producer behind the hit Netflix series “Narcos” has filed a lawsuit claiming he is owed more than 1 million in unpaid profits on the show.
José Padilha sued fellow producer Eric Newman, claiming that Newman has breached an agreement to split all profits on the show 50-50.
The complaint alleges that Newman and his company have received “several millions of dollars in revenues arising from or connected with ‘Narcos’ that have not been reported to Plaintiffs.” The suit seeks to recoup 50 of all unreported revenues, as well as punitive damages.
Newman has a longstanding relationship with Netflix. He is currently producing “Rebel Moon,” the streamer’s mega-budget sci-fi epic from director Zack Snyder. In addition to “Narcos,” his other Netflix projects include “Bright,” with Will Smith, and “Hemlock Grove,” which was the second show the streamer ever produced.

Narcos director José Padilha claims his production partner is cheating him out of millions in profits from the series.
Padilha is suing showrunner Eric Newman, alleging the veteran producer is concealing revenue — including money from audits of and bonuses from Gaumont Television. Under their profit sharing agreement, they agreed to an equal split of all revenue.
“Despite having voluntarily accepted the trust reposed in him by Plaintiffs, and in violation of this relationship of trust, Newman (both individually and on behalf of Spahn Ranch) caused Narcos Revenues to be paid solely and directly to Defendants, without making Plaintiffs aware that these Narcos Revenues had been received by Defendants,” states the complaint filed on Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
