After Space Entertainment Enterprise, a company that previously stated that it will co-produce Tom Cruise’s next space film, recently revealed its plans to build what is essentially a film studio in space by December 2024, Variety followed up on the project. ‘ambitious claim and learned more about Tom Cruise’s planned space film, including how much of the film will actually take place outside of Earth’s atmosphere.

As anticipation grows for the arrival of the new The Batman played by Robert Pattinson, today the director of the film Matt Reeves has finally revealed the reason why he refused to adopt the screenplay written by Ben Affleck at the time. producer and writer of a bat movie he had played for Zack Snyder.
During an interview with Esquire, Matt Reeves revealed that the studio sent him the script that Ben Affleck co-wrote with Geoff Johns, and while he thought it was “a totally valid version of the movie,” it just wasn’t his personal story. of Batman, which the director was interested in telling.
“He was very animated by the action. He was very attached to the DCEU, with other notable characters from other films and other comics sticking out. But I knew after reading it that this particular script wasn’t the way I wanted to do my Batman, ”Reeves explained.
We know that Ben Affleck’s film would have pitted The Dark Knight against Deathstroke, but now comes the confirmation that it would have brought other members of the Justice League to the stage as well. Matt Reeves admitted that he told Warner Bros that he was not the right man for the job, explaining the direction in which he would have preferred to take the character.
“I told them that there have been so many great movies, but if I had to do that, I would have to make it personal, so I could understand what I was going to do with it, so I know where to put the camera, so I know what to say to the actors. , so you know what the story should be. This play, I told them, pointing to the script, is an absolutely valid and exciting story. It’s almost a James Bond movie, but it wasn’t something I felt attached enough to. “
The cast of The Batman is made up of many well-known faces: along with Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, there will also be Colin Farrell (Oswald Chesterfield / Penguin), Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Jeffrey Wright (Jim Gordon), Paul Dano ( Riddler) and Andy Serkis (Alfred). Finally, John Turturro will be the boss of Carmine Falcone. Also in the cast is Peter Sarsgaard who will be Gil Colson, the District Attorney of Gotham.
“The Batman will explore a detective case,” the sources write. “When some people start dying in strange ways, Batman will have to descend into the depths of Gotham to find clues and solve the mystery of a conspiracy connected with Gotham City’s history and criminals. In the film, the entire Batman Rogues Gallery will be available and active, much like the original comic and animated films. The film will feature more villains, as they are all suspects “.
Make no mistake, the Underwater subgenre of science fiction and horror belongs to the same family as the space terrors derived from Alien, the eighth passenger. Yes, in one of those movies they are in orbit and play with gravity, but in the abyss of the earth, there is an even more unknown space, because we have it below and we still don’t know much about it.
However, their rules in the movies are still something more or less similar and if in Prometheus they go from one ship to another in special breathing suits, in Underwater they come out with diving suits designed like armor from the Star Crusade board game. or Bioshock.
But it is acceptable to credit underwater films with their own aroma of saltwater and their decompression rules and floodgates that must be closed so as not to be swept away by the threatening and uncontrolled water pressure.
And this is what happens in the first minutes of the film by William Eubank, who offers here his most popcorn film, beginning with a declaration of principles in the form of a tribute to Jungle Glass that sets the film in motion without waiting for the classic scenes of a team of scientists and mechanics having breakfast while throwing pujas and we can guess who is involved with whom. No, here it starts with a bang and saves yourself, we’ll get to know them as they appear here and there.
Eliminating everything we already know is one of Underwater’s tricks to present us with the same old thing in a more or less fresh way. A group of members of an underwater base finds themselves in a disaster situation that leads to a kind of Poseidon adventure in the deep and, of course, with monsters.
Wait a minute, isn’t that the same premise as Deep Rising or Deep Blue Sea? Well yes, basically, and we already anticipated that it does not come close to that pair, which does not mean that it is not something interesting and very entertaining. The problem is that sometimes we know where and when certain things are going to happen since there are a good number of clichés that the script does not try to turn around.
In fact, there are times when it seems that we are seeing a remake of Depth Six, Leviathan, or, above all, The Rift, which already had some inspiration from the H. P. Lovecraft story The Temple. And although Pocholo is missing here, here we have one, increasingly divine, Kristen Stewart also blonde, albeit dyed, who plays an orthodox character chiseled from Ripley, with more than one visual homage with excessive moments in underwear included.
Eubank poses everything so well that when the time for the odyssey arrives, he falls a bit short in dealing with tension, not taking advantage of the dark water spaces with which films like 47 Meters Away (2017) manage to cut through the fear it generates.
Nor does it improve the use of CGI in all the aquatic exteriors that with 80 million dollars ask for a more dignified finish, especially when the creatures appear. The unlit cloudy water filter creates a vague haze which is no excuse and is probably the most disappointing considering the good visual finish of all interiors and the return of some dirt to the production design normally absent in this kind of slightly pasteurized blockbuster for the 13-year-old audience.
This makes its intermediate zone suffer from the initial impulse, although the final stretch recovers some muscle and gives way to a few minutes that are pure conceptual astonishment, taking the story beyond its small conception of a vehicle for its protagonist, thanks to a fantastic factor that will leave any lover of the genre speechless.
Best: Kristen Stewart as a living anime character, her willingness to have fun from minute one, and her ghastly conclusion.
The worst: she cries out for more blood, the CGI, and the diluted suspense of the central section of her.
On the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home, love was officially born: no, not romantic love. Let’s talk about the great friendship between Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield!
Andrew Garfield, in every interview he has given over the past couple of months, has done nothing but speak well – if not very well – of his experience of him on the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
In particular, an affectionate friendship seems to have arisen between the two most “mature” spideys: Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. In fact, in the last interview, Andrew spoke in a very emotional way about his experience on the set of No Way Home in the company of his colleagues.
The interview that thrilled fans and even Andrew himself is the one released on The Jess Cagle Show, in which he opened up a lot about his admiration for Tobey Maguire. The return to Spider-Man: No Way Home of the original Spider-Man has in fact moved Andrew, a big fan of his acting skills.
Garfield confesses that he was very disappointed with Tobey’s choice to leave the screen, has always found him a great actor. Luckily for him, the sweet Amazing Spider-Man had the opportunity, a few weeks before the shooting, to work on their respective characters with Tobey, building a deep friendship.
Here’s what Andrew Garfield said about his experience on the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home: “I felt protected. It was really very strange. I didn’t feel like we were shooting this epic Spider-Man movie. Instead, I felt like Tobey and I was working on a relationship between our characters through imagination and play.
The atmosphere was very, very playful as if we were two friends playing Spider-Man imagining when it would be cool to do this or that. I think that he too, through this experience, reconnected with acting, his love for it, as if time had never passed! “
Spider-Man: No Way Home enjoyed huge box office success becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of all time.
The Spider-Man franchise has been fraught with off-screen complexity and difficulty for years, with a legal battle over character ownership between Marvel Studios and Sony. It is also a franchise that has seen three different actors chosen for the lead role over 14 years.
The 27th MCU film proved to be a huge box office success, with Variety reports saying the film has now grossed more than $ 1.69 billion globally (unadjusted for inflation) and as a result, it became the sixth highest-grossing film ever.
The film premiered in December 2021 and has so far grossed $ 721 million domestically and $ 970 million internationally, making it a hit in the UK, where it is the fourth biggest film ever.
Spider-Man: No Way Home was released in theaters on December 15th. Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, and Marisa Tomei return to the film. In addition, the film also features Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, who we will later see in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, directed by Sam Raimi, Jamie Foxx as Electro, as in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborne / Green Goblin and finally Alfred Molina, again Doctor Octopus from Spiderman 2.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is directed by Jon Watts (former director of Homecoming and Far From Home) and produced by Kevin Feige for Marvel Studios and Amy Pascal for Pascal Production.
Warner Bros Music has made available a long pre-listen of the soundtrack of The Batman, signed by Michael Giacchino. At first glance, the soundtrack of the film seems to respect some of the atmospheres of the character, already heard in previous films, but it also seems to touch, unexpectedly, peaks of delicacy unheard of for Batman. Here it is below:
The cast of The Batman is made up of many well-known faces: along with Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, there will also be Colin Farrell (Oswald Chesterfield / Penguin), Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Jeffrey Wright (Jim Gordon), Paul Dano ( Riddler) and Andy Serkis (Alfred). Finally, John Turturro will be the boss of Carmine Falcone. Also in the cast is Peter Sarsgaard who will be Gil Colson, the District Attorney of Gotham.

We’ve been waiting for it for years after the official announcement, but finally, the battle we’ve all been waiting for comes to theaters. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have unveiled the long-awaited trailer for Godzilla vs Kong, the film directed by Adam Wingard in theaters this year. The clash between the two legendary icons leads us to live an epic adventure that will decide the fate of the whole world.
After revitalizing Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla monster movie, bringing the monkey king back to the cinema thanks to Kong: Skull Island and driving fans crazy with all the historical lizard enemy monsters seen in Godzilla II – King of the Monsters is here the moment of the definitive challenge, that between a King and a God. But what do we see in the trailer for Godzilla vs Kong?
God vs King
First of all, we find the most famous King in the world, Kong, on a ship that will take him home, on a dangerous journey that is his last hope. Accompanying him, besides his human “friends”, is a young orphaned girl who seems to have the gift of communicating with him and whom Kong feels he must protect at all costs. The situation becomes complicated when an enraged Godzilla arrives on their journey ready to destroy the whole world. While the two divinities struggle, a mystery is slowly discovered that comes from the center of the Earth.
Kong has definitely changed, the look they have chosen for this film shows it to us aged, with a long and slightly graying “beard” despite its size has increased dramatically, was it the effect of some radiation on the island? After all, doing the math well, more than 40 years would have passed since Skull Island and time passes for him too.
A small spoiler of his presence, but above all that heralded the clash between him and Godzilla, was also given to us in Godzilla II – King of the Monsters, when in a scene set in the laboratory among the various photos of monsters who were making they’ve appeared on Earth there was also Kong still present on the island.
Kong and Godzilla
In the trailer we are shown small anticipation of the battle that promises to be spectacular, the right hook that Kong gives Godzilla on the aircraft carrier in the middle of the sea is already iconic, the two seem to then move to the mainland and continue the fight until we see Kong grab an ax (magical?) that reflects the rays of Godzilla, all accompanied by music made of deep bass that emphasizes the atmosphere of the film.
Could this be the epilogue of the battle? Certainly, the two are not alone, other creatures come from the depths of the Earth and the film is ready to reveal to us what is the mystery behind this battle. In a collapsing world, perhaps our only hope of salvation is to rely on monsters, because as it says in the trailer “we need Kong, even if he does not bow to anyone”.
The MonsterVerse back to The Cinema
The film is the fourth installment of the MonsterVerse that started with Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), Godzilla II – King of the Monsters (2019) and appears to be the continuation of Kong’s journey. In the film, in addition to finding Millie Bobby Brown in the role of Madison Chandler, who goes in search of truth right in the bowels of the Earth, and Kyle Chandler in the role of Dr. Mark Russell and Madison’s dad, as a new entry there is the fascinating Alexander Skarsgard, who plays the geologist Nathan Lind responsible for the conservation of Kong, Rebecca Hall as Ilene Andrews, Eiza González as the very intelligent Maya Simmons, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Julian Dennison, and Demián Bichir.
The film is directed by horror specialist Adam Wingard from a screenplay by Eric Pearson (Thor: Ragnarok) and Max Borenstein, who curated the last two monster movies. The film’s sets have been spread all over the world, as we see in the trailer itself, the crew shot in Hawaii, Australia, Missouri, Queensland, and Hong Kong. The film will be released this year in theaters and on HBO Max. Who are you cheering for?
