Netflix’s One Piece Live Action has broken the shackles of the anime live adaptation failures. Production houses and directors were afraid to venture into the anime live adaptations genre after the continuous failures in that genre. After One Piece’s massive success, many have found the confidence to try their luck in the mentioned category.
One of the franchises that was inspired by One Piece Live Action is Gundam. Yoshiyuki Tomino’s masterpiece is 45 years old and will have a live-action movie released soon. Even though Gundam is quite a popular franchise, following One Piece’s footsteps might not be the right thing to do. Netflix has several pros, including the financial backing, which might be difficult for Legendary to match.

Japanese rock band One Ok Rock was about to embark on a world tour when Covid-19 hit. With the entertainment industry under threat of survival, the band decided to live stream their ‘Field of Wonder’ concert that was viewed simultaneously by 110,000 fans worldwide. This documentary reveals the story behind the massive live stream, through three months of intimate footage in the lead up to the show on October 11, 2020 as well as personal interviews that unravel the history of the members of One Ok Rock and why they came up with this idea.

Their songs have been featured in all five Rurouni Kenshin live-action movies, including latest theme songs Renegades (Rurouni Kenshin: The Final) and Broken Heart of Gold (Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning).
Launch date: October 21, 2021 exclusively on Netflix.

The conclusion of what came to be the pentalogy of Rurouni Kenshin live action movies, was another much anticipated film of the year, even though the 4th entry bordered on being disappointing, with the exceptions of a few action scenes. However, and although the ending of the story was essentially known due to the previous film (which I felt should be watched last actually) the final episode is actually quite good, on par with the previous trilogy, at least for the most part.
The story essentially focuses on the beginnings of Kenshin as Hitokiri Battosai, which is portrayed through a series of flashbacks. As the movie starts, Kenshin is already a notorious killer moving in the shadows of Kyoto, according to the orders of Katsura, who leads the Choshu clan, a group of anti-shogun members. Having killed a hundred people since his hiring from Katsura a year ago, Kenshin has...

At a time when viewers around the world remain wary of returning to cinemas, the Shanghai International Film Festival (Siff) once again can’t keep up with local audiences. Demand is so high that viewers are paying enormous sums to get hold of scalped tickets, including more than $300 to see an art house film released more than two decades ago.
The festival sparks an annual online crush as film lovers vie Black Friday-style for its limited tickets the moment they’re released for sale. Siff sold nearly 150,000 tickets within five minutes on the first day of sales in 2019, and more than 100,000 tickets in ten minutes last year, despite occurring as an in-person event just weeks after cinemas reopened for the first time post-covid-19.
With theater capacity still capped at 75%, the event’s 2021 iteration set to run from June 11-20 has proved just as popular, despite the full line-up being announced...
