Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Confirms Meeting With James Gunn

Alan Ritchson at an event for Fast & Furious X (2023)

There's a lot of uncertainty surrounding DC Studios' plans for Batman. The Brave and the Bold was announced at the start of 2023, but hasn't taken shape since then, and now appears to be less of a priority than the recently announced Wonder Woman movie.

The intention is to tell the story of Bruce Wayne learning he has a son, Damian, whom he then trains as Robin. It's a simple story on the surface, but one DC Studios is struggling to figure out; surely not helping matters is that Matt Reeves' highly anticipated The Batman sequel is on track for a 2027 release.

With Robert Pattinson unlikely to play the Dcu's Dark Knight,

Emma Stone Shocks Venice With 6-Minute Standing Ovation for Gory Alien Kidnapping Thriller ‘Bugonia’

If you think Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos pushed the envelope with “Poor Things,” wait until you see “Bugonia.”

Two years after the duo came to the Lido with their previous Oscar winner, “Poor Things,” they returned with a perverse thriller about a female CEO (Stone) who is kidnapped and tortured by one of her employees (Jesse Plemons) — because he suspects that she’s an alien. “Bugonia” features push-the-envelope scenes between captor and captive, leaving the Venice audience covering their eyes and gasping at the film’s gorier moments.

When the final credits rolled, the festival crowd showered “Bugonia” with a six-minute standing ovation that made it clear that this Italian audience ate up what Lanthimos was serving.

Stone, Plemons, Lanthimos and the rest of the cast, including Alicia Silverstone, as well as the film’s screenwriter Will Tracy, took in the applause while bowing multiple times. Stone, with

Harry Potter: Matt Smith Responds To Voldemort Casting Rumors As Spoilery New Season 1 Details Are Revealed

The upcoming Harry Potter TV series is currently filming in the UK, with production expected to continue until next spring. Now, thanks to Wizarding World Direct (via SFFGazette.com), we have a few new details about this latest take on J.K. Rowling's best-selling novels.

With a little more room to breathe than the Harry Potter movies, it's said that season 1 will explore the origin of the Philosopher's Stone and why it was moved from Gringotts to Hogwarts (Nicolas Flamel and his wife are expected to appear). A greater focus on magical creatures and objects is also expected.

Scenes inside The Leaky Cauldron are set to be shot next month,

Pedro Pascal Eyed to Lead Todd Haynes’ Gay Romance After Joaquin Phoenix’s Abrupt Exit

Pedro Pascal at an event for The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

Pedro Pascal is circling the lead role in director Todd Haynes’ gay romance feature De Noche, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The project made headlines last August when Joaquin Phoenix dropped out of the starring role just five days before filming was set to begin in Guadalajara, Mexico. Danny Ramirez has been attached to co-star in the movie that focuses on an intense gay romance in the 1930s.

Christine Vachon and Pam Koffler are producing for Killer Films. Pascal does not have a deal in place and has been eyed for the role since late last year, though it is now just coming to public light.

Phoenix initially brought the project to Haynes and developed it with the filmmaker before getting cold feet. The actor has not publicly discussed the reasons behind his departure, with a source previously telling THR that the movie’s team was “devastated.”

‘Rocky’ Found: Anthony Ippolito to Play Sylvester Stallone in Amazon MGM’s Movie Behind Making of Boxing Classic (Exclusive)

Anthony Ippolito, who portrayed Al Pacino in the Paramount limited series The Offer, is now tackling another famous Italian American actor.

Ippolito has nabbed the starring role in I Play Rocky, the story of the making of boxing classic Rocky being made by Amazon MGM.

Peter Farrelly, the comedy helmer who won an Oscar for directing The Green Book, is directing the feature that Amazon MGM intends to release in theaters.

Ippolito will star as a young Sylvester Stallone in the drama, the true Hollywood story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told “no” at every turn, Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.

In a fitting echo of that spirit,
