The film will delve into the origins of Buzz Lightyear, the toy we met in “Toy Story”

Who is Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story universe? We met the charismatic astronaut in the first installment of the Pixar franchise in 1995, where he initially appeared as Woody’s great competition in Andy’s room. When jeans went out of fashion, children began to play with this character and imagine themselves inside spaceships by imitating what they saw on television. The latter will be what the public will discover in the new animated film.

This February 8, the official trailer of the next animated bet titled Lightyear was revealed, whose protagonist will have the voice of Chris Evans to represent him this time on the big screen. The purpose of this next spin-off will be to delve into the origins of this astronaut in fiction that was later turned into a famous series of toys and other forms of entertainment.

In the new preview, the battle between Buzz and Zurg appears as one of the most important axes around the plot. The space ranger embarks on a mission accompanied by his friendly robotic cat, but the shadow of the evil Zurg grows larger and larger and the two will come to face each other across the universe.

Pixar’s new Lightyear is directed by Angus MacLane (also co-director of Finding Dory) and written by Pete Docter (Soul, Inside Out, and Up). The cast is made up of Chris Evans, in the voice of Buzz, and Taika Waititi. It is a project of Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. According to the company’s official release schedule, it will be released on June 17 in theaters in the United States.

Pixar’s big return to the big screen?

The pandemic caused various animated titles to be seen away from traditional projection, that is, they focused solely on digital releases to avoid delays due to the closure of theaters due to protocol measures in the face of COVID-19. Soul (2020) was the film that inaugurated this new era for Pixar in which it left aside the big screen to maintain exclusive releases on the Disney + platform.

The same thing happened with Luca (2021) and the next Turning Red will suffer the same fate. At the beginning of this year, it was confirmed that the film by cartoonist and screenwriter Domee Shi would arrive on the streaming service on March 11 and would not have a face-to-face format release for theaters. For this reason, Lightyear will be a golden opportunity for the animation studio, since it is a character already known to audiences who would receive the expected attention upon arrival on the billboard.

“But we’re weird,” Zoey says in the first trailer for Cheaper by the Dozen, the remake of a classic family sitcom produced by Disney+. Indeed, the Bakers starring Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff are unusual, to say the least: a family with 10 children, five from each parent. A demographic glut with great potential for humor.

Along with the advance, the first poster and the release date of this reboot of the famous 2003 film starring Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, which had a continuation with Ashton Kutcher, were released.

The film will premiere on Disney+ on March 18, with a cast that includes Erika Christensen, Timon Kyle Durrett, Journee Brown, Kylie Rogers, Andre Robinson, Caylee Blosenski, Aryan Simhadri, Leo Abelo Perry, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Christian Cote, Sebastian Cote, and Luke Prael.

Moonfall Movierulz

Moonfall Movierulz: A mysterious force knocks the Moon out of its orbit, sending it into a direct collision with Earth at full speed. A few weeks before impact with the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) is convinced she holds the key to saving our planet. 

But only astronaut Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and conspiracy theorist KC Houseman (John Bradley) believe her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible mission into space, leaving everyone they love behind, to land on the lunar surface and try to save humanity, facing a mystery of cosmic proportions.

No not like that. Let’s see, in the world of destruction or natural disaster movies, Roland Emmerich is one of the greats. Director of films such as ‘Godzilla‘, ‘Independence Day, ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ or ‘2012’ knows perfectly well how to make the world’s largest skyscrapers a spectacle of destruction within a film and how to make protagonists run like crazy looking for solutions and survival.

‘Moonfall’ as a possibility.

Something barbaric you could expect from ‘Moonfall‘ considering the mere direction. In addition to the impressive synopsis that, in summary, the moon is coming towards Earth… what could go wrong? Well, it seems that the problem is that almost everything fails. From the beginning created by the tape in which we are warned very soon that it does not have the quality that was assumed until an end taken from the sleeve without much reason.

Very little of everything.

The way ‘Moonfall’ could believe in itself is dissipated by an overdose of effects with no empathy for human nature. This, a source of inexhaustible praise for Roland Emmerich in other of his titles, is a disastrous resource that does not work and that feeds the disappointment of the public, since the impressive images that we expect from an appointment with his signature are not found in this one, remaining orphan of an amazing photograph, being rather a moderately correct exercise with slight hints of what ‘Moonfall’ could have been, but no.

From the moment one seems not to take oneself seriously, and it becomes a succession of scenes taken out of context or too embellished with special effects that do not finish filling the plot. A witty story with a good ability to amaze is dwarfed at the mercy of being saved by something, such as performances. 

Nothing could be further from the truth; from Patrick Wilson with the face of believing in a series B instead of a blockbuster and with a Halle Berry who does not finish marrying the character, the only moderately remarkable thing in the section would be John Bradley-West and a Charlie Plummer who called me enough attention.


Definitely.

In short, ‘Moonfall’ is a failed science fiction film that fails to dazzle and seems not to take itself seriously. A tape loaded with special effects that, in brief moments, amaze, but full of many failures that make it impossible to connect with it. Neither for the spatial section, nor for the visual spectacle, nor for a plot that makes water… ‘Moonfall’ is one of Roland Emmerich’s worst films.

Which path will Grogu choose in The Book of Boba Fett?

Image credit: Lucasfilm

Our little boy, also known as Baby Yoda, is being forced to make the most important decision of his life. What will he do?

The way of the Jedi? Or the way of The Mandalorian? Luke repeats a mistake of the old Jedi Order by forcing Grogu to divest himself of all sentimental connection, which puts our friend in a bind since he wants to continue learning the secrets of the Force, but he also loves Din. a decision or will he surprise us with something else?

Luke tests Grogu to become a Jedi, using many of the same tactics as Obi-Wan Kenobi, which works very well and even helps him recall some repressed memories, but that training is cut short when Baby Yoda senses the presence of the Jedi. from his surrogate father, causing Skywalker to wonder which path to take with him.

Grogu must choose between taking Master Yoda’s lightsaber for further training and never seeing Din Djarin again or take the armor Mando gave him, return to him, and go the way of the Mandalorians. The episode ends with Grogu musing, with no clear answer, but if you look at the story they’re building in this Star Wars universe on Disney+, the path he’s going to take is pretty clear.

In recent episodes, there has been a clear contrast between the demands of the Mandalorians and the Jedi, but both have their shortcomings. Mando took off his helmet to help someone he loves very much, but the blacksmith decided that for this action he was no longer worthy of belonging to the family. Meanwhile, the Jedi ask that all romantic relationships be cut, something practically impossible and that not even Luke himself has fulfilled.

Everything seems to indicate that Din Djarin and Grogu will be a bridge between both beliefs, combining the best of both cultures. Similar to what happened with Tarre Vizsla, the creator of the Darksaber (of whom we already told the story of him). 

It is very difficult to think that Baby Yoda, still a child, can make such an important decision and then fulfill it for the rest of his life. So we’re sure something will happen that will allow him to follow the path of the Force, but still maintain his relationship with Mando.

However, it would be much easier for Star Wars as a franchise if Grogu chose the path of the Jedi. In this way, they could sideline Baby Yoda for most of New Republic’s history and the sequel trilogy, bringing him back as a fully-fledged Jedi in the new horizon of the post-Skywalker era.

On the other hand, Stars Wars has had a huge success on Disney+ in large part thanks to the pairing of Din Djarin and Grogu. The Book of Boba Fett has set the plot for Mando to become the savior who restores Mandalore and the culture from it, but can we really imagine Din taking on such an epic mission without his great friend? Having Baby Yoda choose the path of the Mandalorians would allow Disney to continue creating adventures with the two of them together.

Peacemaker Director James Gunn Reveals Inspiration for John Cena’s Piano Moment

James Gunn revealed that John Cena actually played “Home Sweet Home” on the piano in an episode of Peacemaker series on HBO Max. In a post on Twitter, the director shared the song and recalled when he heard the actor play the instrument for the first time.

“For those asking, yes, it really was John Cena playing the piano version of Motley Crue’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ in the latest episode of Peacemaker,” he wrote. “[The song] has been added to the official Peacemaker playlist.”

Gunn explained that while filming The Suicide Squad (2021) in Panama, his dog passed away and the director decided to come home early. While waiting to be taken to the airport, Cena sat down at a piano and played The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind”, moving everyone around.

“It got me and still calmed me down. Everyone around me was crying. I wanted to capture some semblance of that moment with this song,” he revealed. 

“Chris Smith is an artist who has been decimated by this world. He’s been decimated by who his parents are, what surrounds him, and the entire culture he was raised in. This is not to say that he is not guilty; he is. But he is emotionally mute, unable to express himself. When he’s playing the piano here, it’s the first time we really see him. Everything else was noise, drama, and braggadocio.”

Gunn also revealed that the piano needed sharpening and the technician complained about how old it was. However, the director felt that this motif made it ideal for the scene: “This looked like the kind of piano that was abandoned in an old video store, and more true to the story, so we went with it.”

The series follows the protagonist Peacemaker (John Cena) after the events of Suicide Squad (2021). The cast includes names like Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Chukwudi Iwuji, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick. The first episodes are available on HBO Max.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that Stine’s stories have been brought to the original Disney + catalog, since, in October 2021, a series based on his graphic novels (Just Beyond) was released. 

In April 2020, it was reported that the American author had given the go-ahead for another fiction adapting his successful horror novels, and almost two years later, he has just started pre-production.

Ben Affleck Might Still Play Batman

Image Credit:  Warner Bros Pictures

The actor’s cameo in “The Flash” may not be his last appearance in the DC Extended Universe.

Ben Affleck‘s future is very uncertain and nothing is said about his permanence in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). After the failure of Justice League (Justice League), the actor stepped aside from the role and did not return until Zack Snyder decided to launch the version that had never been able to reach the cinema when Joss Whedon took his place in the chair of the director. Likewise, it was revealed that he would also return to be the Gotham vigilante for The Flash, the film with Ezra Miller. Has he really been left out of the movies?

Amidst the speculation, Miller decided to put the icing on the cake with a bizarre social media post from him. Regarding the release of his solo film this year, it was reported that Affleck would appear for the last time as the Knight of the night in this film and would not return, to which the interpreter of Barry Allen reacted mockingly: he wrote some ” Ha ha ha” on this news. This leads us to think that it would be a very important clue and perhaps… a spoiler.

Andy Muschietti (behind the two installments of It) will direct the new cinematographic bet focused on the most famous speedster of DC Comics, where such important facts of the comics as the Flashpoint will be addressed. As you remember, this known event occurs after the Flash interferes with reality and causes great changes in the universe of superheroes and villains.

In addition to Ezra Miller, other stars that will take place on the screen will be Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton, two interpreters of Batman in the movies. If the rumors about Affleck’s departure are false, that would indicate that more of him will be seen in the following projects that involve these characters in live-action. 

On the other hand, the introduction of Robert Pattinson in the same role puts pressure on the change of star, although nothing is ruled out from the moment it is confirmed that different versions of the superhero can coexist thanks to Allen.

The Flash will be a singular event in the DCEU

Certainly, The Flash is one of the projects that has taken the longest to reach the big screen. Its development dates back several years and did not materialize as the solid idea of ​​a project until 2014, although sometime later, it was aligned as an integrated narrative to the DCEU. Various directors were on board the production such as Seth Grahame-Smith, Rick Famuyiwa, John Francis Daley, and Jonathan Goldstein, but finally left it due to creative differences.

The last to be chosen was Muschietti and filming took place between April and October 2021, due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The main premise is how Barry Allen goes back in time to prevent the murder of his mother and unleashes a series of consequences in the timeline in his multiple attempts to achieve his mission. Warner Bros. scheduled the premiere for November 4, 2022, and, to date, there are no major changes regarding the film schedule.
