“Assembled: The Making of X-Men '97” continues Marvel Studios behind-the-scenes Sneak Peek of their newest TV series, now streaming on Disney+:
“…in the early 1990’s, , few beyond those who journeyed into the pages of Marvel comics had ever heard of ‘Rogue’, ‘Beast’, ‘Gambit’ and ‘Wolverine’.
“But that sad state of affairs changed forever when ‘X-Men: The Animated Series’ debuted on television and touched millions hungry for something different. The series was unlike any cartoon that had come before it, exploring themes of prejudice and social justice. The characters were super, but they were also outsiders, underdogs. Kids everywhere could relate – as well as adults.
“‘Assembled’ recalls the birth of ‘X-Men: The Animated Series’ and its revival thirty years later as ‘X-Men ’97’.
“Spend time with the original cast members, along with new voices, as they reveal the stories behind the classic show and its uncompromising continuation…”

At long last, it seems the MCU is getting closer to its mutation. We’re only two months away from Deadpool & Wolverine, which in its own way will bring something of an evolutionary leap to Marvel’s cinematic DNA. The world is still raving about the stellar first season of animated show X-Men ’97. And now, there are signs that we’re getting closer to the thing fans have been really waiting for: a proper MCU X-Men movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a writer has been hired to write such a thing – and the person tasked with that almighty responsibility is Michael Lesslie.
Given the amount of secrecy around Marvel’s X-Men plans, it’s unknown what brief Lesslie has been given – but he’s currently putting pen to paper on bringing Xavier’s team to the big screen. Lesslie previously served as lead writer on Park Chan-wook...

Since the moment it was revealed that Disney was considering acquiring 20th Century Fox, Marvel fans have been imagining the X-Men joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’re still a number of years away from Marvel’s first X-Men movie, but the project has taken a big step forward. Deadline reports that Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) is now in negotiations to serve as the writer of the X-Men movie.
When the WGA strike concluded last year, X-Men was the first project Marvel Studios began tackling, taking pitches for the movie from a variety of writers. In addition to The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Michael Lesslie is also known for Macbeth, Assassin’s Creed, The Little Drummer Girl, and the upcoming Now You See Me 3.

Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore are teased as playing the same character for feminist body-horror thriller “The Substance.”
The Cannes feature, which premieres in competition at the festival, has already been picked up by Mubi for worldwide distribution. French director Coralie Fargeat helms her sophomore film, following her debut “Revenge” which premiered at TIFF in 2017.

If you respect the balance…what could possibly go wrong?”
The teaser shows Moore intently watching an ad for the substance injection and contemplating undergoing its cellular division. Could Qualley be who Moore transforms into?...

Jason Statham is someone who is admirably unpretentious and genuinely grateful for his success, and within that, he has a definite preference of films that can predominantly define his career. Earlier this year, Statham was seen in The Beekeeper, a seemingly usual action B-movie fare with the star, but the movie from Suicide Squad director David Ayer would throw in some bold conceptual curve balls to the normal vengeance tale. Deadline has now reported that Statham will be working with director Baltasar Kormákur for his next action film.
Kormákur’s resume features such credits as Contraband, 2 Guns, Everest and the recent Idris Elba lion attack film, Beast. According to Deadline, “In the currently untitled pic, Statham will play Mason who lives in isolation in a remote Scottish island. When he rescues a young girl from the ocean in a terrible storm, he sets a chain of events in motion...

The Beast.She was there on harder terms than any one; she was there as a consequence of things suffered, one way and another, in the interval of years, and she remembered him very much as she was remembered—only a good deal better.So says John Marcher of May Bartram in Henry James’s novella The Beast in the Jungle (1903). Everything coalesces for John and May to reconnect on an October afternoon, having met years prior. Their meeting again is “the sequel of something of which he had lost at the beginning.” What follows is a strained dalliance, never physically realized. John is transfixed by May’s knowledge of his “secret,” the feeling of an imminent doom that has tailed him his entire life. Something awaits him, like a beast in the jungle. And May—only May, whose illness brings her closer and closer to her own death—knows what it is.

Hollywood master-brains Zack Snyder knows just what he wishes to induce in his projects, and if things don’t work that way, he decides to create his own extended ‘Director’s cut’ version for the same. For his most recent film series Rebel Moon, Snyder did the same, though this time, it seems that all he wanted to add was a cajole of violence and R-rated drama in its rawest manner.

In fact, this ‘Director’s cut’ of the Netflix movie from 2023 included so much adult drama that even the filmmaker himself admitted that it almost felt like “alternative universe cuts” instead of being mere R-rated cuts of the same movie. That said, besides Snyder, now even fans believe that the mastermind may have crossed the line with the adult drama in the saga.

Tom Ripley is getting another chance on the awards circuit. The sinister con artist, created by author Patricia Highsmith in a series of novels, is played by Andrew Scott in the new limited series “Ripley” from Netflix. A quarter-century ago a variation of the same story was told in Anthony Minghella‘s film “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” but while that iteration received five Oscar nomination, it was snubbed for Best Picture, and star Matt Damon was left out of Best Actor. Can Scott make up for that with a nom for Best Movie/Limited Actor?
Damon’s portrayal of Tom Ripley had more warmth to it, a sense of longing (“I always thought it would be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody”). He was a tragic monster who trapped himself in a web of lies and murder. Scott’s performance suggests someone more methodical and calculating.

Deadpool & Wolverine, the only theatrical project to be released this year from Marvel Studios, has a lot riding on its shoulders. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the titular roles, the movie will see many old faces coming back to the fold. Recently, director Shawn Levy and Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige were at CinemaCon, where an almost 10-minute long footage from the movie was shown. And to the surprise of many, an Og Avenger made the trip to Deadpool land.
Deadpool & Wolverine is the sole theatrical MCU release of the year

Effective immediately, Sherwood will serve as publisher and CEO and Coles as chief creative and content officer. As strategic partners, both will share a substantial interest in the company but specific terms of the partnership were not disclosed.

Marvel Studios has already experienced overwhelmingly positive responses for its recent projects featuring X-Men characters. The latest animated project, X-Men ’97, seems to have taken off with the audience, and fans largely look forward to Deadpool & Wolverine releasing in July this year. After the end of the strikes last year, it was reported that Marvel was meeting with writers for pitches on an X-Men live-action movie. An industry insider now has an update regarding the same.
X-Men ’97 is one of the first X-Men projects in the MCU, but it is not canon to Earth-616
According to earlier speculations, the film was supposed to begin production in the latter half of 2025. However, the insider reports that the filming for the Avengers movies in the Multiverse Saga finale will precede any planned X-Men movie project.

Every time I’ve seen The Beast there comes some point where I think Bertrand Bonello is the world’s greatest under-60 filmmaker. Not quite a new stance for me (declaring Saint Laurent the best movie of the 2010s was a lonely battle), but it’s exactly this accumulation of films through years and years of appreciation that makes his newest film’s climax so powerful, so cascading in its effects, so potent in the question of who’s even treating images and montage in service of such heady narrative frameworks and sharp-tuned performances. If I confess unique bias, having worked on Bonello’s films in the distribution realm––the theatrical and home-video release of Nocturama, the digital debut of Ingrid Caven: Music and Voice, and producing a vinyl LP of his original soundtracks––it means I’ve also seen a shift in perception, from cult figure to major figure of world cinema.

Ashton Kutcher and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs have a friendship that spans decades. They developed a friendship after Kutcher planned to put Combs on Punk’d. Now, we’re looking back at an old interview of Combs and Kutcher in light of Homeland Security raiding two of Combs’ properties in March 2024. Here’s what Kutcher once said about Combs lacking “humility.”
Ashton Kutcher described a time when Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs refused to show ‘humility’
Ashton Kutcher and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs seem like unlikely friends, but they developed a close friendship that involved a lot of one-on-one time. In 2018, the movie star and the hip-hop mogul sat down with James Corden on The Late Late Show With James Corden and discussed their relationship. Combs explained that they met after he caught wind of Kutcher’s wanting to put him on MTV’s prank TV show Punk’d.

When it comes to timelines for game releases, Hidetaka Miyazaki knows good work takes time to create. While Elden Ring was first revealed in 2019, it only saw a release after three years in 2022. Fans have been waiting to hear of the next project from FromSoftware and were finally satiated upon hearing about the Shadow of the Erdtree Dlc.
Coming a full two years after the release of Elden Ring, the Dlc is set to hit platforms in June 2024. However, why did it take so long for the company to announce an expansion to one of its biggest games? Miyazaki’s previous interviews shed light on a possible reason.
The Elden Ring Dlc May Not Have Been Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Priority Could Hidetaka Miyazaki be working on a sequel to an old game?

The new animated Marvel series X-Men 97′ is the long-awaited follow-up to the popular 1990’s X-Men: The Animated Series which initially aired from 1992 – 1997 and became the first show in the Marvel Animated Universe. While many were skeptical leading up to the premier, the show has so far given viewers plenty of fan service.
One interesting homage was revealed for the series’ fourth episode titled “Motendo; Lifedeath, Pt. 1“. The scene depicts Jubilee and series newcomer Roberto De Costa aka Sunspot. The two are seen teleported into a video game titled “X-Men: The Rise of Jubilee” on a giant monitor in front of a large audience.
The two are loaded into a stage that resembles the Days of Future Past storyline, and Jubilee then takes action to battle some sentinels. The screen then bans back to show a classic arcade beat ’em up sprite style of the action with the crowd cheering.

Britain’s contributions to the cinematic form have been vast and glorious. Aardman Animation. Alfred Hitchcock. Olivia Colman. 007. High up that list, too, is the British gangster movie – sure, America may often get the genre limelight with classics like Goodfellas, The Godfather trilogy, and Scarface, but nobody does dark, gritty, violent, and darkly humorous quite like the British. You certainly wouldn’t catch football-hardman-turned-movie-hardman Vinnie Jones rolling down the street with some poor geezer’s bonce trapped in his car window anywhere else, that’s for sure!
And so, with tracksuits on, geezer nicknames doled out, and knuckles dusted, Team Empire assembled a list of the very best British gangster movies ever made. From comedy classics, to bruising turn-of-the-century tales of brutality and crime, to contemporary subversions of the genre formula, we’ve covered all bases. These are films of culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog,...

Bloodborne is one of the most stellar games released by Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware. However, with the studio recently, releasing the Shadow of the Erdtree Dlc for Elden Ring, Miyazaki had publicly confirmed that they are going to move away from the Soulslike genre and explore new horizons.
Fans were understandably miffed by this decision. Nevertheless, it still promised something as the team at FromSoftware is renowned for delivering critically acclaimed masterpieces. So, fans were eagerly waiting for official news and updates. On 1st April 2024, Bloodborne rumors reared their head again as a user took to X to post some ‘leaks’. With fans confused whether it was an April Fool’s joke, the post got quite a bit of traction.

On Valentine’s Day, Kim Petras released the follow-up EP to her 2022 Slut Pop, with equally-slutty and even-sexier songs from the original project.

New Delhi, Feb 4 (Ians) The Indian diaspora spread all over the world has mostly stayed connected to its roots. And one of the institutions that keeps this connection alive is Indian cinema. These films could be in Hindi or in any of the South Indian languages.
The Indian film market is spread far and wide, but Indian films also have to conform to the local culture and sensibilities, mainly of the religious kind. We do not make films that are against any other country or its culture, but when it comes to religious sentiments, considering the mixed population we have, Indian films feature characters from different religious backgrounds. Yet, Indian films cannot always please all people.
Almost all countries exhibiting films have their own censorship bodies. It is also not uncommon for them to occasionally ban films from theatrical release. The reason could be a vulgarity, nudity or religious sentiments being hurt.

Carl Weathers, the legendary actor known for his roles in movies like "Rocky" and "Predator," has only just passed away at the age of 76. Though not talked about nearly as much as his on-screen work, Weathers was also an accomplished director and called the shots on many shows during his decades-long career, including "Hawaii Five-o" and "Law & Order." In recent years, he's played Greef Karga on the "Star Wars" TV show "The Mandalorian." Even then, however, Lucasfilm made use of his talents behind the camera as well, with Weathers directing not one but two episodes documenting the galactic adventures of Mando and Grogu.
Most recently, Weathers directed an episode titled "The Foundling," which aired as part of the show's third season in 2023. Speaking to Hype Beast after the episode premiered, the actor-turned-director explained his approach to directing specifically in the "Star Wars" universe," which is no small thing. In short?...

Leah Sava Jeffries, who plays Annabeth Chase in Percy Jackson And The Olympians, reveals the combat training the cast underwent.
With the first two episodes dropping on Disney+ on 20th December, the Percy Jackson And The Olympians series is off to a great start. Adapted from Rick Riordan’s books about a young boy who discovers he’s the son of a Greek god, the show stars Walker Scobell as the titular character. Starring alongside him are Aryan Simhadri as Percy’s Satyr protector Grover, and Leah Sava Jeffries as fellow Demigod Annabeth Chase.
There’s a fair amount of action in the series, with the leading trio facing off against various monsters from Greek mythology. At a recent roundtable, Jeffries got talking about the combat training they underwent to prepare for the show.

Walker Scobell is Percy Jackson
12-year-old Percy Jackson has always felt different from other kids his age. Adhd, a penchant for daydreaming, and an unlucky streak with bullies has gotten him kicked out of a number of schools, both private and public, but regardless he’s always felt safe...

Hey Hey Hey Hey!
Ho Munda Sher Kare Ucche Shikhar
Kabhi Nhai Hui Fikaar
Kisi Ki Permission Ni Leni
Das Hazar Wali Liquor Dhuye Mein Saari Dikkate
Jwalamukhi Life Meri Heat Fege
Rishtey Ke
Saare Gham Abi Khatam Hai
Big Life Big Life
Gedi Maarun Murthal Se Leke Sidha
Chandni Chowk Ki Chaap Khake
Tede Baande Pehle Se Kabhi Nhai Khauf Lete
Jhuti Pinnak Nhai Meri
Karte Do Gunna Paisa Bhyaaj Se
Adhe Bande Yaha Rehte
Bahu Bhare Gungat Odh Aur Baat Karle Aaj Se
Faad Pichwade Boom Boom Beast You
Hai Ghunje Pura Delhi Se Dehradun
Main Udu Meri Masti Mein
Main Hoon Bekabu
Main Starbucks Ka Hoon Flappe
Main Mehenga Hoon
Jaate Zym Shim Body Shody...

At the British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs) on Dec. 3, Andrew Haigh‘s “All of Us Strangers” domainted, winning seven races including Picture, Director, and Screenplay. Meanwhile, Mia McKenna-Bruce won Best Lead Performance for “How to Have Sex” while her co-star, Shaun Thomas, tied for Best Supporting Performance along with “All of Us Strangers” scene stealer Paul Mescal. But what do these little independent awards mean for the larger awards season? Let’s take a look.
Firstly, “All of Us Strangers” had a great night. The fantasy film also won Music Supervision, Cinematographer, and Editing. This overwhelming response from British voters could indicate that the same will happen at the BAFTAs. “All of Us Strangers” could be in line for nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor for Mescal, and Best Actor for Andrew Scott. There are some big names, of course, that these creatives will...

The use of a piece of performance capture software called Mova on such films as Beauty And The Beast has resulted in a fiddly court case for Disney.
Disney’s live-action remakes of its own catalogue of beloved animated films has largely found box office success, but the VFX technology that drives them is expensive and complicated.
For proof, look no further than a quite curious legal case swirling around Beauty And The Beast. One of the pieces of software used to create the detailed, lifelike facial animation seen in the 2017 film was called Mova Contour – a programme first used to eye-catching effect in David Fincher’s The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button in 2008.
Mova Contour has been used in numerous films since, with examples including Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, The Incredible Hulk and The Amazing Spider-Man.

In March 2017, Disney’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast opened to a monstrous $357 million globally. It marked the seventh-largest domestic debut ever and the top start for a PG title, eventually finding its place on the list of the highest-grossing films of all time with lifetime box office earnings of $1.27 billion.
Leading up to the release, Disney said the movie represented a massive step forward in visual effects — playing up the CG rendering of Dan Stevens’ Beast — through the use of VFX technology called Mova Contour Reality Capture. “When you see Beast onscreen, there is something so human about him,” said Emma Watson, who played Belle, at a press conference in Paris for the film, noting that the patented tech “really captures the subtlety of Dan’s facial expression.” She stressed, “I don’t think the world has seen anything like it before.”
