My career has been a domino effect of people who said, ‘I would like this person to fill this role,’ ” the Ocean’s 8 star said at the time. “And not just in the industry, but people in my life. My mother raised me like, ‘You don’t need to get married, you forge your own path. You make your own money, and be your own person.’ And I literally went out into the world thinking there was no disparity, that everyone was equal, and I can do whatever a man can do.”Later in her career, Bullock said she had a “wake-up moment, where I was like, ‘What is this feeling? Why do I feel so [expletive]?’ ” she added. ” ‘Oh my God, I’m being treated this way because I have a vagina.’”It was hard for me, because I walked with blinders on through life and got to where I […]

Batman Forever has been surprisingly in the headlines quite a bit over the course of the last year; its director, Hollywood icon Joel Schumacher, passed away in June of 2020, and shortly thereafter, rumors started to circulate that Warner Bros. had in its possession a “director’s cut” of Batman Forever, which was longer, and darker in tone.

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME has been a success for everyone involved, especially Andrew Garfield. The Amazing Spider-Man star reprised his role as Peter Parker for the first time in seven years in the MCU film, and to say that he’s received praise for his performance would be an understatement.In a recent interview with Variety, Andrew Garfield opened up about returning to the role of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home. And, after discussing the experience, Garfield said he would be open to playing Spider-Man again if “it felt right.” In a movie that features heavy hitters like Tom Holland, Zendaya, Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Foxx, and Alfred Molina, it’s Garfield who seems to have received the most positive attention in the weeks since No Way Home’s release. And it’s not hard to see why: Every moment scream 5 2022 he’s on-screen, he threatens to totally steal No Way […]

Set in Iceland, the film is based on an old story famous in the nation which is believed to have originated sometime around the 10th century. The story’s primary expert was an author called Saxo, who was tasked with creating a full history of Denmark. The story of Amleth was the most famous entry in that historical encyclopedia. The first appearance of the tale and its evolution are both in dispute, but the tale is an integral one to Scandanavian and Icelandic myth. There is also a fair amount of wavering in the story itself, as multiple versions change details and aspects for new audiences. The Northman seems to be a more in-depth exploration of this semi-complete story, weaving in some of Eggers’ stellar eye for period accuracy to create a compelling narrative. ith the release of Matt Reeves’ The Batman now just three months away, and the debut of […]

Eggers has a penchant for sowing doubt into his films as if we are watching them inside the character’s heads as they start to lose their grip on reality. For sure, The Northman can be expected to have the same mind-boggling aspects everyone has come to know from Eggers’ films.Other big names involved in the film are Ethan Hawke as King Horwendil and The Lighthouse’s Willem Dafoe as Heimir the Fool. Claes Bang (BBC’s Dracula) will play the film’s primary antagonist Fjolnir. Other names in the film include Ralph Ineson and Kate Dickie, both of whom starred in The Witch, and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, whose most notable role was as The Mountain in Game of Thrones. Finally, musician and actor Björk will also have a role as the Slav Queen. Whether her part will be big, small, or significant is unknown. So where exactly is the excuse going to come […]

Thompson’s photo started to circulate on social media Sunday evening, showing the character in some new duds, vastly different than what she was last seen wearing during Avengers: Endgame. Her new suit seems to pull inspiration from Thor Odinson’s (Chris Hemsworth), with the design. Even then, it’s separate enough because there’s little color involved. Instead, the suit is virtually all black and white.Captain Marvel just broke the ceiling off and dissipated myths about what women can do in these spaces and society,” Thompson added. “So it feels like we are really entering a new phase of Marvel. So this night is about celebrating more than just this film… [Stan Lee’s] vision is the idea: what makes you different is actually your superpower. And when we’re living inside of a robust time to be able to say to people that they can love who they want to love, they can be […]

That image is then spoken over by Mordo, Strange’s former friend turned villain played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, last seen way back in the Doctor Strange credits acquiring new powers. He says, “Your desecration of reality will not go unpunished.” We’re meant to think he’s talking of the events in No Way Home, but that’s not for certain. It could be something in this film. But more importantly, is Mordo back with the Sorcerers? It seemed like he was going to break off on his own, though things may have changed during the whole Thanos incident. We don’t know what he’s been up to.It was the only way,” Strange says. But was it? If he’s referring to No Way Home, which the trailer is suggesting, he didn’t have to cast the spell for Peter Parker. He choose to and did it very haphazardly. Anyway, Strange walks up the stairs of some […]
