Beauty And The Beast Trailer Comparison Live Action Vs Original

A Beauty and the Beast live-action remake was never going to be an easy task to get right, and it’s fair to say that fans will be more critical of usual when the movie is finally released. For director Bill Condon, it’s an unenviable position to be in; if he pitches the movie too close to the original, he will be accused of merely producing a copy, and not putting his own stamp on things....

Amazon S Picnic At Hanging Rock Review

The choice to turn a new Picnic at Hanging Rock adaptation into a six-part limited series may have seemed ill-advised at first glance. After all, the most famous adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s 1967 novel became an unsettling, illusory classic from director Peter Weir in 1975. But since there’s no sense in letting good IP go to waste, and considering that film is now over four decades old at this point, a new interpretation was likely a foregone conclusion....

With the release of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, the movie world now has two superhero-centric “shared universe” mega franchises to keep track of.

Bates Motel Season 4 Premiere Delving Deeper Into Darkness

[This is a review of the Bates Motel season 4 premiere. There will be SPOILERS.] - For fans of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller Psycho, the most interesting aspect of Bates Motel’s first three seasons has been watching Norman’s (Freddie Highmore) gradual descent into true madness. But now that he’s already almost completely adopted the alternate personality of his mother – whom he blames for his own homicidal actions – it was hard to imagine how much darker and psychologically twisted the series might get when it returned for season 4....

Annihilation Eyes April Theatrical Release In China

Annihilation is eyeing an April release in China. Alex Garland’s acclaimed, mind-warping sci-fi thriller hit domestic theaters for the first time on Feb. 23. And many international audiences, including Europe, Australia, and much of southeast Asia, can already experience the mystery of “the Shimmer” at home on Netflix. But audiences in China have yet to see Annihilation in theaters or via streaming services. Between its lack of an international theatrical release and the stiffest of competition in Black Panther, Annihilation appears destined to fall short of commercial viability....

This led to the third act being almost completely reshot near the start of 2018, leading to various creatures and action scenes being cut....
