Romantic comedies may be a dime a dozen, but every once in a while there comes one that can change the course of cinema. And in the age of having more representation on the big screen, no film is more important than Crazy Rich Asians. Director Jon M. Chu‘s adaptation of the Kevin Kwan novel of the same name represents that shift. It’s a film that changes the genre by looking at it from a different perspective, one that has been largely ignored for almost an entire generation.

And because of that, Crazy Rich Asians is not only a special film but one that is also highly entertaining and enlightening. Check out my full review below.

That deal between Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures is coming to an end according to new reports.

This will allow the entertainment company to partner back up with Warner Bros., a studio they’ve had better luck with when they’ve collaborated on projects since 2005. More on the story below.

The long-awaited adaptation of author Steve Alten‘s MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror, simply titled The Meg, is just a little over a week away from finally being released.

Ahead of its arrival Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new virtual reality experience for the movie, in which you’ll come face to face with the giant megalodon shark that wreaks havoc in the movie.

Martin Scorsese has been an executive producer on Todd Phillips‘ Joker since it was announced last year. While this is the filmmaker’s first superhero film, Warner Bros.’ vision for the character is what attracted Scorsese to the project. According to previous reports, WB is planning to expand the DC universe with new and unique storylines that aren’t a part of the current DC Extended Universe. Phillips says the film will be a gritty and hard-boiled crime drama in the same vein as Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and The King of Comedy.

Now we are getting to see how much of an influence Scorsese is having on the film. According to new reports Robert De Niro, who starred in all three of the aforementioned influences, and Frances Conroy, who starred in The Aviator, are currently in talks to join titular star Joaquin Phoenix and recently reported Deadpool 2 star Zazie Beetz on the cast of the new the origins film. More on the story below.

At some point in time the DC film universe had to stop being dark and brooding. And it looks like that time is now. The cast and crew of SHAZAM! were at San Diego Comic-Con to prove that the DC Extended Universe is not all doom and gloom with the first trailer for the film.

It looks fun, humorous, and it has plenty of laughs. Check out the first trailer for SHAZAM!, below.

Aquaman may not have had the best introduction in Justice League, but the easily mocked character will get a chance to prove himself in his own film Aquaman. James Wan is at the helm for the latest superhero epic, which will see Jason Momoa reprising his role as Arthur Curry, a man who is both a human and an Atlantean, who must return to his undersea home to stop his half-brother, King Orm (Patrick Wilson) from going to war with the surface dwellers.

The cast and Wan were over at San Diego Comic-Con to talk a little bit about Aquaman, but more importantly, give us the first trailer for the film. Prepare for plenty of jumping the shark moments. Check out the trailer below.

It’s starting to look like you can exist in two superhero universes. Well, at least for some actors. Deadpool 2 star Zazie Beetz could be the latest person to make the jump from Marvel to DC.

According to new reports the actress, who also stars in Atlanta, is in talks to play a role in the new Joker origins film starring Joaquin Phoenix in the title role. More on the story below.

Todd Phillips‘ Joker origins movie finally has a title: Joker. It doesn’t get any more straightforward than that.

And now the film, which will see Joaquin Phoenix play the title role, has a release date. It will now open in theaters on October 4, 2019. Find out what kind of competition it will go up against in the full report below.

Birds of Prey is an all-female group of heroes, vigilantes, and rogues from the DC universe. Now they will get to have their own titular movie starring Margot Robbie, who is reprising her Harley Quinn character.

While the film has yet to enter production, we are now learning who the other DC super-powered female characters appearing alongside Quinn will be. According to new report, she will be joined by Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain, and Renee Montoya. More on the story below.

Could Djimon Hounsou be the person to save DC films? It sure does seem like it. The actor, who has already signed on to play an ancient wizard in Shazam! who gives Billy Batson his powers, will also appear in Aquaman. Although, not as the Wizard, but as the Fisherman King.

And now, we are getting our first look at the character in a recently released image. You can check it out below, along with a brand new poster which includes a date for when we’ll get to see a trailer.
