Ballerina spinoff to shake Rotten Tomatoes pattern with potential impressive ratings, changing franchise trajectory. Highly anticipated Ballerina film's critical reception to determine the future of the John Wick spinoff series. Director Len Wiseman hoping for redemption of Rotten Tomatoes reputation, banking on Ballerina success.
The John Wick franchise is expanding with its first spinoff movie, and Ballerina is already guaranteed to break a Rotten Tomatoes streak, no matter what the final score is. After four movies centered around Keanu Reeves' assassin, the action franchise is shifting focus to a new character played by Ana de Armas. She stars in Ballerina as a woman who was trained by the ballerina assassin school introduced in John Wick: Chapter 2. Expectations are understandably high for the next iteration of the John Wick franchise to maintain the same level of quality and action audiences have come to expect.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things gets an 18 certificate for its UK release – but it’s been cut even to get that. More here.
A decade or so ago, stories such as this were a little more commonplace, with distributors making small cuts to their films to get a desired certificate in the UK. We got tales such as Taken and Die Hard films being trimmed so they could land in British cinemas with family friendly ratings, bizarrely.
However, in the case of Poor Things, the new film from director Yorgos Lanthimos, cuts have had to be made to secure a release at all.
As per the BBFC website, Disney showed the film to the board for advice before formally submitting it for classification. This is something that the board offers with films, whereby you can make any trims before you go for a formal submission.

In World Wrestling Entertainment, the period from July 22, 2008, to March 22, 2014, remains known as the "PG era," owing to how Vince McMahon adjusted the content to achieve a TV-pg rating after the TV-14 fare in the so-called "Attitude" and "Relentless Aggression" eras of the 1990s and early-to-mid 2000s. (via Sportscaster)
WWE had caught up with Hollywood, where a similar wave of chlorine had washed over mainstream cinema and sanitized dozens of projects including "Live Free or Die Hard," "Terminator Salvation," "Hancock," and "Fired Up." These films and many more were stripped of violence, swearing, and sexuality in order for the MPA to grant the studios a PG-13 rating and access to the lucrative teen demographic. Such money-mindedness proved bad enough for the action and comedy genres, but it was arguably even worse for horror filmmakers, who risked self-censorship unless they worked within the thriving "torture porn" fare of "Saw" and "Hostel.

After the success of the first Die Hard movie, Bruce Willis solidified his place as a major movie star and went on to land other iconic roles in films like Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense. Despite landing other major roles, Bruce Willis remained loyal to the Die Hard franchise, starring in all of its sequels. He consistently portrayed John McClane and made each installment worth watching. The Die Hard franchise had its ups and downs, with some sequels receiving mixed reviews. However, the series remained popular, with Die Hard with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard becoming the highest-grossing films in the franchise.
After the first Die Hard movie’s release in 1988, the movie franchise only grew from strength to strength with each installment, spawning four sequels over a span of two and a half decades. However, long before the first Die Hard hit the big screens...

The "Die Hard" movies run the gamut from great to dire, but even the worst of the bunch can't undermine the franchise's standing as one of the all-time best action sagas in cinema history. The original "Die Hard" has influenced countless filmmakers and inspired untold "Die Hard" knock-offs. Which is ok because, as star Bruce Willis told Entertainment Weekly, "If I was going to make an action movie today and I hadn't done 'Die Hard,' I would totally rip it off."
But even if the likes of "Speed" or "Air Force One" never existed, 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios following the Disney-Fox acquisition) arguably ripped off "Die Hard" enough by itself. The first film became a surprise hit when it arrived in the summer of 1988, and naturally, Hollywood decided John McClane needed the full franchise treatment. Thus the character was doomed to be placed in ever...

A bachelorette party at a remote desert house is suddenly terrorized by home invaders.
That’s the plot of the new action thriller, Fear the Night, which stars Maggie Q as the sister of the bride and a hardened Iraq war veteran and skilled combatant. The women battle back against the invaders while searching for their father’s trove of guns.
Given the premise, you’d expect a classic shoot-’em-up to ensue. You’d be wrong.
Q wanted to do the film to work with writer-director Neil Labute. She’s a seasoned action star who previously went from Hong Kong martial arts films to appearing in Mission: Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard.
But she had one request – no guns.

Note: This interview was accomplished prior to the start of the SAG strike.When eight women gather for a festive bachelorette party at a remote farmhouse, there’s bound to be some fun and games. Well, games of a different sort in Neil Labute’s new film, Fear the Night. Labute, who gave birth to In the Company of Men, Your Friends & Neighbors, Nurse Betty, and other film and television projects, delivers a lean, retro 1970s-style thriller here with Maggie Q at the helm.
The gist and grit of the story is that this seemingly routine bachelorette party is soon interrupted by the arrival of masked intruders. These fellas are after something, of course, and as they surround the house, suddenly they’re shooting arrows into the place — and the guests. Thank goodness Tess (Maggie Q) is there. She’s a military vet, but can she lead these women...

Justin Long’s rise reached its peak in the late 2000s following his starring role in Accepted, but his career has since undergone an interesting transformation. With over 100 credits, Long has been working steadily for 20 years. His career began strong, with a small role in the 1999 sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest. Long played his first starring role as Darry in the slasher classic Jeepers Creepers in 2001 and appeared in a significant role as Justin in 2004’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
Justin Long’s first leading role in a major Hollywood film came in 2006 when he starred in the slacker comedy Accepted. Accepted follows a young underachiever who chooses to create his own university after being rejected by numerous colleges, only to find himself in over his head when other college rejects begin applying. The film, which relied heavily on improvisation, owes much of its lasting appeal to a talented central cast of rising stars.

It goes without saying that Die Hard is one of the greatest action movies of all time. Not only did Bruce Willis’ incredible character of John McClane embody everything that audiences wanted to see in an action hero, but it created a formula that imitators have been replicating ever since. Some of these iconic reimaginings are classics in their own right; Speed is just “Die Hard on a bus,” and Air Force One is just “Die Hard on a plane.” The first two Die Hard sequels are actually held in fairly high regard as well. Die Hard 2: Die Harder dug deeper into the McClane family’s relationships, and Die Hard With A Vengeance featured the emergence of Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic character Zeus.
However, the critical praise for the series significantly declined in the later installments. While 2013’s A Good Day to Die Hard is a completely defenseless disaster,...

With the film’s Cannes premiere just under a month away, Disney didn’t need to do the hard sell for Lucasfilm’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” But Cinemacon audiences did get to see an extended action sequence, one featuring both Dr. Henry Jones Jr. and Phoebe Waller-Bridge as his goddaughter Helena trying to avoid getting punched, shot or otherwise blown up.
The sneak peek showed Indiana Jones and his goddaughter bickering with each other as they dodge gunfire and slow-moving camels in a bazaar in Tangier. As they’re being chased themselves, they’re chasing after the evil Jurgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), who has the Dial of Destiny in his possession.

Who could've predicted a humble B-movie about a retired assassin seeking revenge for the death of his puppy would birth one of the hottest franchises in Hollywood?
Over three films and many, many creative kills (though it's hard to top "death by library book"), the "John Wick" series has given us some of the best onscreen hand-to-hand combat and world-building in recent memory. The man they call Baba Yaga will continue his quest proper in "John Wick: Chapter 4," a sequel that promises to wear its Samurai movie influences on its sleeve. Meanwhile, the Wick-verse will expand to the small screen with "The Continental," an upcoming TV series that follows the titular hotel's slippery owner Winston during his younger days back in the 1970s. And that's not the only off-shoot that's actively moving forward.

John McClane was intended to be the antidote to the "invincible" action hero archetype, but later Die Hard sequels completely missed this point. Die Hard was based on Nothing Last Forever by Roderick Thorp, a sequel to his novel The Detective. Since Frank Sinatra already played the titular role in a 1968 movie adaptation, he had to be offered Die Hard first. Since he had retired from acting by then, he swiftly turned it down, with everyone from Richard Gere to Arnold Schwarzenegger passing on Die Hard. Desperate for any kind of name, Moonlighting star Bruce Willis was cast, with the screenplay subsequently playing up the character's humor.
According to Script Apart, co-writer Steven E. de Souza intended to create a more humane action hero compared to Rambo or Commando - the latter of which the screenwriter himself penned. Compared to the types of characters played by Arnie or Sly, Willis' McClane bled,...

Lionsgate is already filming their highly anticipated “John Wick” franchise spinoff “Ballerina” in Prague. The film, helmed by Len Wiseman (“Live Free Or Die Hard“) stars Ana de Armas (“The Gray Man”) as the deadly heroine. Not long ago it was reported that the action pic would include some familiar faces with Keanu Reeves and Ian McShane showing up, which should add some connective tissue for audiences.
Well, they’re not the only ones returning for “Ballerina,” as The Hollywood Reporter has learned that veteran actress Anjelica Huston will be reprising the role of The Director from “John Wick 3.” This is yet another clue that the spinoff is going to be much more than simply an offshoot using the franchise’s branding.

Spin-off movies can be pretty hit or miss, with some feeling like a cheap cash grab while others sincerely expand an already beloved universe. Fortunately, everything we've learned so far regarding the "John Wick" spin-off starring Ana de Armas, "Ballerina," seems to point toward the latter. As was reported today by Collider, Lionsgate has closed a deal with franchise stars Keanu Reeves and Ian McShane to reprise their roles as the titular hitman and Winston, the manager of the Continental Hotel. Production on the film begins on Monday in Prague, with "Underworld" series and "Live Free or Die Hard" director Len Wiseman at the helm, working off a script by Shay Hatten with punch-ups from "Killing Eve" and "Promising Young Woman" scribe, Emerald Fennell.
The film is being produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and "John Wick" creator Chad Stahelski, with Brady Fujikawa and Chelsea Kujawa overseeing the project for Lionsgate.

Here's why Mary Elizabeth Winstead left soap opera Passions after only a year. Much of Mary Elizabeth Winstead's early movie work consisted of horror movies or action, including a lead role in Final Destination 3, trashy remake Black Christmas or 2007's Live Free Or Die Hard. Her role as Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgrim Vs The World proved to be something of a breakout, which she soon followed with lead roles in movies like 2011's The Thing, drama Smashed or 10 Cloverfield Lane (which Fear The Walking Dead once recreated).
Like many young actors, Winstead got his start on a soap opera. Passions debuted on NBC in 1999, with the show being created by soap veteran James E. Reilly. The series focused on the town of Harmony, and in addition to the regular soap opera storylines of affairs and love triangles, Passions also included supernatural elements like witches and a living doll named Timmy.

Welcome back to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast, I am your host Valerie Complex — assistant editor and film writer at Deadline. Had some technical difficulties so that’s why this latest episode didn’t publish Tuesday, but it’s a new day, and here we are.
On today’s episode, I chat with native New Zealanders actor Cliff Curtis and director Tearapa Kahi about the new film Muru, which had its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this year. In the discussion, Curtis and Kahi talk about the incident that inspired Muru, police brutality within the Maori community, and their personal encounters with the police.
Inspired by actual events, Muru is the powerful story of local Police Sergeant “Taffy” Tāwharau who recently returned home to the remote Ruatoki valley to look after his sick father.

Hulu is bringing two major TV titles to its stream this month. The first is The Orville: New Horizons on June 2.

Now “New Horizons” promises to be a fresh start for the series on Hulu. Next up is Only Murders in the Building season 2 on June 28. Season 1 of this Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez-starring series was a big hit. Let’s see if our favorite podcasters can pull it off once again.

Neil Labute and Maggie Q will team up for “Fear the Night,” a new action-thriller from Quiver Distribution. Principal photography began earlier this month in Los Angeles.

While the first day of spring technically belongs to March, everyone knows that it kicks into high gear in April. To celebrate the changing of the seasons, Hulu is finally bringing back its signature original series for April 2021.
Season 4 of the multiple Emmy award-winning The Handmaid’s Tale premieres on April 28. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen June and her dystopian world. In fact, it’s been so long that our own world decided to endure its own dystopian pandemic in the meantime. Hopefully this series’ return will mean we can keep our political and social collapses on television where they belong.
Aside from The Handmaid’s Tale, Hulu isn’t brining much else to the table in terms of originals this month. Thankfully, the one other original that Hulu has in store for April sounds completely righteous. Sasquatch, the latest docuseries from the Duplass brothers producing team, will cover exactly what the title promises.
