It has been a fun and exciting day for rumor lovers and fans of Sydney Sweeney, as a rumor broke out and was then refuted by the actress’ representatives. Namely, earlier today, casting information revealed that popular young actress Sydney Sweeney would be playing the main role in the upcoming supernatural thriller Day Drinker directed by Marc Webb, alongside Johnny Depp, one of the more controversial names in Hollywood today. But, it seems, this was a wrong piece of information, as Sweeney and her representatives denied the claim, causing a bit of a scandal.
We don’t really know much about the whole project, aside from what the early rumors have told us. The 500 Days of Summer and The Amazing Spider-Man director signed on to direct Day Drinker back in 2022. Depp has been confirmed to star in the movie, with Zach Dean writing the script.

While Sydney Sweeney is basking in the success of her recent horror film Immaculate, she seems to have gotten on the wrong side of the Internet again. The Madame Web star faced intense backlash from fans after reports of her starring with Johnny Depp in a new supernatural thriller made the rounds.
Depp has also been receiving backlash ever since his Blow co-star Lola Glaudini reportedly accused him of verbal abuse on the film sets. An insider reported that Sweeney and Depp would be starring in Marc Webb’s new film Day Drinker. However, representatives of the Euphoria star have now confirmed that she would not be starring in the film.

Sydney Sweeney and her team are pushing back against a report that she will star alongside Johnny Depp in a new supernatural thriller called Day Drinker from 500 Days of Summer and The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb.
Jeff Sneider initially reported news of the project in his TheInSneider newsletter on Friday. However, after the story went viral, a representative for Sweeney dismissed the report. Sweeney herself seemed to address the report on his Twitter on Saturday, saying that she “woke up to rumors.”
According to Sneider’s report, Zach Dean wrote the script for Day Drinker, which follows an “enigmatic stranger (Depp) and a bartender (Sweeney) mourning the loss of her lover.” It’s said to explore themes of “love, friendship, and revenge.”
The film would mark one of Depp’s first major projects since winning his defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard in 2021. He most recently portrayed...

Fans of the “Fast and the Furious” franchise have grown accustomed to the series’ increasingly elaborate and outrageous set pieces. Given that “F9” climaxed with a scene in which characters literally drove a car into outer space, the pressure was on for “Fast X” director Louis Leterrier and screenwriters Dan Mazeau, Justin Lin, and Zach Dean to open their film with one of the best action sequences yet. The solution: A thrilling chase through the streets of Rome as bad guy Dante (Jason Momoa) sets loose a 10-ton bomb, and Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his team try to maneuver it away from the crowded city. The sequence consists of 554 shots, nearly all of which are a sophisticated combination of stunt driving, practical effects, and computer-generated imagery that are seamlessly blended into perhaps the most spectacular “Fast and Furious” sequence yet.

The grand finale of the Fast & Furious franchise is starting to come together. Following the news that Fast X director Louis Leterrier would return to helm Fast & Furious 11, Deadline reports that Christina Hodson (The Flash) and Oren Uziel (The Cloverfield Paradox) have been tapped to write the script for the finale.
Fast X was penned by Dan Mazeau and Justin Lin based on a story Mazeau and Lin developed with Zach Dean. Neither Christina Hodson nor Oren Uziel has worked on the Fast & Furious franchise before, but Universal wanted some “new voices” for the finale. We should have a better idea of what to expect from Fast & Furious 11 once Fast X is released as Michelle Rodriguez has teased that the upcoming movie will end on a cliffhanger.

Universal took “Fast X” out for another spin on Wednesday, unveiling a new trailer for the 10th installment in the “Fast & Furious” franchise.
In the latest bit of marketing material, Jason Momoa’s villain takes center stage, slinging one-liners at his henchmen and executing a plot to blow up the Vatican.
Momoa plays a character named Dante Reyes, the son of the drug lord vanquished by the heroes in “Fast Five.” As usual in this series of fast cars and ludicrous plot twists, he’s out for revenge.
Momoa isn’t the only new actor set to join the “Fast” universe. The forthcoming film also stars Brie Larson, playing the daughter of Kurt Russell’s character, Mr. Nobody. Rita Moreno makes an appearance too as Dom Toretto’s (Vin Diesel) grandmother. Larson and Moreno are the latest Oscar winners to sit behind the wheel for “Fast & Furious” following Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren.

With the "Fast X" budget rising to $340 million, the tenth installment in the franchise will unite no fewer than 17 characters, and sport a villain (Jason Momoa) seeking revenge for his murdered father, the villain of "Fast Five." Judging by the "Fast X" trailer, all the series' usually enjoyable absurdities appear to be intact, including a trek around the globe and a general hatred of the laws of physics.

The nearly four-minute official trailer for Universal Pictures’ Fast X introduces Jason Momoa as the big bad that Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew will be going up against. The trailer starts off being all about family (since that’s a running theme in the Fast & Furious franchise) but then Momoa’s new character Dante pops up and warns, “Dominic Toretto, you’re about to learn all about fear.”
Dante continues: “You built such a beautiful life filled with love and family. I never got that chance. You stole that from me. My future. My family. And now…I’m gonna break yours. Piece by piece.”
So, that’s in the trailer’s first minute. A quick flashback shows the crew taking out Dante’s father, followed by lots of over-the-top action sequences and Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty promising they will fight back.

"Follow your passion" seems to be Scott Derrickson's guiding philosophy as a director, and so far it's served him pretty well.
The key, it appears, is his ability to bounce back from disappointment by channeling his energy into something he really believes in. After his big-budget 2008 film remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" left him unhappy, Derrickson teamed up with producer Jason Blum to work on an original low-budget movie rather than another film based on an IP, resulting in his acclaimed horror flick "Sinister." Likewise, when Derrickson felt his creative vision for the "Doctor Strange" sequel had become too compromised, he stepped away as director to go and make "The Black Phone," a well-received coming-of-age horror drama that's emerged as one of the more notable box office success stories of 2022.

No one could have predicted that "Top Gun: Maverick," a sequel to a nearly 40-year-old movie, would wind up becoming not only the biggest movie of the summer, but the biggest movie of 2022 so far, pulling in 679 million domestic (more than "Avengers: Infinity War") and counting. It is a testament to the sheer power of spectacle director Joseph Kosinski and Tom Cruise manage to infuse into the movie, turning what could have easily been a cash grab, Americana-filled nostalgia play into a huge movie event the likes of which we haven't seen since before the pandemic.

The battle may be won, but “The Tomorrow War” continues.
A week after the time-traveling alien invasion thriller premiered on Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Studios and Skydance are already in talks to produce a sequel to the film. The current plan is for director Chris McKay, screenwriter Zach Dean, and stars Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, Sam Richardson, Betty Gilpin, Edwin Hodge and J.K.

A supposedly $200 million dollar sci-fi spectacle about contemporary people being conscripted into a future war that pits the human race against some very hungry aliens, “The Tomorrow War” sure is a mighty huge thing to watch at home on a (comparatively) small screen. And yet, strange as it is that this summer’s biggest original blockbuster is skipping theaters altogether — a result of Paramount’s Covid-related decision to salvage its investment and sell the movie to Amazon — it can feel even stranger that something this anodyne and algorithmic wasn’t conceived by a streamer in the first place.

Earth’s future looks bleak in The Tomorrow War. Dropping on Amazon Prime this week, the film finds the planet under siege by alien conquerors in 2051. Mankind’s only hope of survival lies with time travelers coming back to present day in order to draft civilians and soldiers: they’ll be desperately needed cannon fodder in the ongoing war.
Guardians of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt stars as Dan Forester, a military veteran turned family man and high school teacher, and one of the recruits. Thrown into the fight of his life, Dan must team up with scientist Vicki Winslow (Yvonne Strahovski) and his estranged father Slade (J.K. Simmons) to alter the course of the future and save the world.
“I love big action, sci-fi horror movies, whether it’s Aliens, Terminator, Blade Runner, E.T. or Poltergeist,” director Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie) tells us. “These are the movies that I grew up on.

In Amazon Studios’ upcoming sci-fi blockbuster “The Tomorrow War,” Chris Pratt stars as Dan Forester — a soldier sent to the year 2051 to fight off against an alien invasion.
Beyond the film’s grandiose sci-fi elements, it deals with an array of contemporary family themes and the notion of what one generation owes to the next, as Dan is determined to rewrite the future in order to create a better life for his daughter.
During a virtual press conference for the film, Pratt and screenwriter Zach Dean explained how the movie’s story plays with the idea of conscription and the motivations that inherently drive a person to enlist.
“The idea of not having it be about necessarily an ideology or patriotism or loyalty to protect your country, but being about literally your desire to save your own kids,” Dean said. “Who doesn’t sign up for that? It’s a different thing.
