Here’s why Hawkeye got a Disney Plus series instead of his own solo MCU movie.
The soundtrack for Abigail includes some ‘fun swings’ and an original end credits song from Jean Dawson, whose music was featured in Scream VI.
Rustic Films’ Things Will Be Different is a perfect addition to their sci-fi universe. No wonder Marvel hired producers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.
Ti West completes his X trilogy with MaXXXine, a sequel to both X and Pearl that will bring Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s. But where the hell is the trailer, you ask?
A24 has announced tonight that the hotly anticipated trailer for MaXXXine will debut online on Monday, April 8! The film is coming to theaters nationwide on July 5, 2024.
MaXXXine‘s cast includes Halsey, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon.
“MaXXXine reverses the franchise’s trajectory through time to pick up with Maxine after the violent events of X, as the sole survivor continues her journey towards fame, setting out to make it as an actress in 1980s Los Angeles.”
“It’s the best script of the three by far. It’s going be the best movie of the three,” Goth recently told Variety, teasing a third installment that may even outdo the previous two.
Goth continued, “It’s the biggest story of the three with the highest stakes and Maxine has gone through so much at this point. So when we find her in this new world, she’s just a force to be reckoned with and she goes through some pretty wild adventures.”

The director of Civil War has explained why Texas and California have teamed up in his new movie.

In honor of The First Omen, we’re looking at (and ranking) some of the craziest horror movie pregnancies.
With Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire squashing the box office and Godzilla Minus One earning that coveted first Academy Award for the series, talk of Godzilla is obviously high. As such, Godzilla: Final Wars director Ryuhei Kitamura recently revealed that the film was close to getting a Mechagodzilla redesign by none other than Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding artist Yoji Shinkawa.
In an interview with Kaiju United on the 20th anniversary of Godzilla: Final Wars, Kitamura–who was enlisted by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima to direct the cut scenes in the Gamecube-exclusive Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes–revealed how he had gotten Shinkawa for Godzilla: Final Wars.
“When I worked on Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, I asked nicely to Kojima-san, can I borrow your genius designer? He asked, what are you going to do? And I said I’m going to do final Godzilla! He was like, wow, go ahead. Mr. Shinkawa designed all the cool earth defense force and mutant squad costumes, and the battleship Gotengo. So yes, there’s a lot of connection between Metal Gear Solid and Final Wars, because I did it back-to-back.”
When asked by the interviewer if there were any kaiju for Final Wars that didn’t make the cut, Shinkawa mentioned Mechagodzilla. “If they didn’t do the Mechagodzilla movies right before me, I would have brought him back, because it’s so cool. Imagine the Metal Gear Solid designer Yoji Shinkawa redesigned Mechagodzilla!”
As for why Shinkawa didn’t do a redesign, Kitamura said it came down to respecting the character. “I wanted to do it, but I didn’t want to disrespect.”
Given Shinkawa’s designs of the Metal Gear mecha over the years (not to mention his designs of mecha in Zone of the Enders), it definitely would have been interesting to see how he would have tackled Mechagodzilla.
