Shazam! star Zachary Levi recently broke into the Christmas movie universe as the voice of the adorable Teddy in Teddy's Christmas. The English dubbed version of Andrea Eckerbom's Norweigan CGI live-action hybrid film hits U.S. theaters on December 1. Given the festive film's upcoming premiere and that the holiday season is upon us, we asked Levi about his favorite Christmas film. And his answer likely won't surprise you: It's a Wonderful Life. A Christmas classic that is usually a part of any conversation about the greatest films of all time, It's a Wonderful Life is considered one of the best Christmas films ever made.
Today, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is sadly a shell of its former self. The MCU thrived during its first three phases in cinemas which ran from 2008 until 2019. And Marvel’s on-screen empire peaked with a string of billion-dollar successes culminating with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame eclipsing $2 billion each at the box office. Since then, the MCU has experienced its share of big-screen blunders. And despite the follow-up failures, Disney CEO Bog Iger doesn’t have any interest in apologizing for producing too many sequels. Iger said at The New York Times (NYT) DealBook Summit 2023 (per Deadline):
Richard Donner's beloved 1985 adventure comedy The Goonies is a true 80s classic that captured the magic of childhood adventures. So it's no surprise that star Sean Astin has plenty of fond memories from filming the movie.
It seems only fitting that two stars of Dolly Parton and Keanu Reeves' professional stature would be in one another’s orbit. As it turns out, Reeves’ mother, Patricia Taylor, actually designed the bunny outfit Parton wore for the October 1978 issue of Playboy magazine. And Parton remembers meeting a very young Reeves during that time. Parton said in an interview with Drew Barrymore (via The Drew Barrymore Show):
Amber Heard has been the subject of much controversy online ever since her highly publicized defamation trial in 2022 that saw her go toe-to-toe with ex-husband, Johnny Depp. Since that time, the 37-year-old actress has found herself drenched in social media ridicule with no end in sight. While she's received support from the likes of Kathy Griffin, Dolph Lundgren, and Howard Stern, Rebel Moon director Zack Snyder has become the latest high-profile name to speak out in defense of Heard.
First published in 1979 under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, Stephen King’s novel ‘The Long Walk’ has been the subject of Hollywood lore since 1988, when Night of the Living Dead director George Romero was first approached to adapt the book into a feature film. The project never came to fruition, and over the years it seemed as if the movie would linger in development hell forever, until 2018, when New Line Cinema acquired the rights to the novel. There hasn’t been much talk of it since then, but now it looks like The Long Walk is stepping in the right direction with Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence attached to breathe new life into the dystopian novel.
Dave Bautista, famed for portraying Drax the Destroyer in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series, is currently at the center of the latest excitement in the DC Universe fandom.

When it comes to the most hated characters on TV, it appears that Game of Thrones can appropriately be crowned the victor. The George R. R. Martin series has been off screens for almost five years, but the memory of some of its characters has certainly lingered on, as a new list produced by Ranker has seen the series’ villains dominating the top of the chart.
Robert Eggers presents his own version of the most famous vampire in the first look at the remake of Nosferatu, which is now set to hit theaters on December 25, 2024. Bram Stoker's Dracula has been brought to the screen numerous times, but the first to adapt the acclaimed story was Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in 1922 with Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens. The movie proved controversial for not officially adapting Stoker's novel, and instead making minor changes to try and avoid the inevitable lawsuit. Despite Stoker's widow gaining a court ruling that all versions of the movie were to be purged, some copies remained hidden away by collectors, whereby the movie's survival was assured.
The Terminator franchise has had plenty of ups and downs since Arnold Schwarzenegger first materialized butt-naked from a time displacement sphere in the middle of Los Angeles to seek out and destroy Sarah Conner. Some 25 years after the 1984 debut of the franchise, director McG helmed the fourth entry in the saga, Terminator: Salvation. In a new interview with Comicbook,com, McG addressed the movie's disastrous reception, and teased an alternate cut of the movie with a different, darker ending.
Actress Julianne Moore and director Todd Haynes prepare to make this holiday season one fans won’t soon forget. Over the years, Moore and Haynes have collaborated on a number of thought-provoking projects, including Safe, Far From Heaven and I’m Not There. But six years after their last big-screen teaming, Wonderstruck (2017), the duo returns in Netflix’s May December. And Moore has her own thoughts on why their creative collabs work so well. Moore said in an exclusive interview with MovieWeb:
Joel Kinnaman decided that he wasn’t going to talk to his wife for nearly two months. No, he wasn’t upset with her, nor her with him. The questionable decision came when Kinnaman decided to go full method actor for his latest role in director John Woo’s Silent Night. Now, the film is an action movie in which Kinnaman’s character, Godlock, doesn’t speak a single word of dialogue… for the entire film! Fans can already see where this is going, but, thankfully, it wasn’t divorce court. Kinnaman’s mind was made up, and he wouldn’t speak to anyone for the shoot's two-month duration — his beloved included. And Kinnaman described his wife’s, Kelly Gale, reaction during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon:
Over the course of his 27-year acting career, Mads Mikkelsen has portrayed a lot of different characters, but he always seems to be cast in roles that showcase him as the bad guy. From Le Chiffre in 2006's Casino Royale, to Kaecilius in 2016's Doctor Strange, Mikkelsen is known for his antagonistic parts. Recently, the award-winning 58-year-old actor gave some insight into what he thinks the reasoning is behind the trend.
When it comes to Christmas movies, there are around 25 undeniable classics that will be welcomed home for the holidays every year. While many of these titles are from decades gone by, that hasn’t stopped each year delivering some new potential festive favorites, especially thanks to the increase in streaming services over the last few years. This year Netflix’s offering of the loftily titled Best. Christmas. Ever. has proven that you can’t judge a movie by its title, as the film has been roasted online like the turkey many viewers believe it to be.
Following the death of iconic Batman actor Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill’s initial reaction was that he doubted that he would ever be able to play the role of the Joker again without his on-screen partner. Now, during a recent appearance at Fan EXPO San Francisco, Hamill has doubled down on his comments, suggesting he is done playing the comic book villain.
A first look image of Nicholas Hoult in Robert Eggers' anticipated Nosferatu reimagining has been unveiled in the print edition of Empire Magazine. A closer examination of the picture also reveals an out-of-focus reveal of another of the film's focal characters: Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok. The new image was revealed just days after we first saw Lily-Rose Depp's character. While a complete, clear look at Skarsgård's Count Orlok has yet to make the rounds, Eggers told Empire that "he looks like a dead Transylvanian nobleman."
Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan in 2010, distinguishes itself as a science fiction thriller that has made a lasting impact, surpassing its own narrative confines. Recently, in an interview with The Atlantic, Nolan shared his reflections on the film and its unintended deeper meanings, coinciding with the home release of his latest work, Oppenheimer.
Following the resolution of the actors' strike, Superman: Legacy has been making headlines with its growing cast. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, who is also writing and directing the film, recently confirmed that a majority of the cast had been secured prior to the strikes and shared his perspective on fan casting. During a Q&A session with fans on Threads, Gunn mentioned that he occasionally checks out fan suggestions online when casting roles, even if they haven't been considered by him or his casting team. However, he clarified that such fan recommendations have seldom resulted in actual casting decisions. Gunn wrote:
Following Sony Pictures announcement that a new Karate Kid movie is finally heading into production, with an open casting opportunity made available for the lead role, it seems that there has been a staggering amount of interest from youngsters hoping to be the next Daniel LaRusso.
Chris Hemsworth reported pumped himself up to his most impressive physical peak for Thor: Love & Thunder. However, even when appearing in Avengers: Endgame, in which he was seen as an out of shape Thor, it seems that his Adonis-like body was enough to make costar Paul Rudd wonder why he was even bothering to stick to his Ant-Man diet.
The Garfield Movie has resumed production with Chris Pratt voicing the titular feline. Work on the upcoming reboot was suspended from July 14 until November 9 thanks to the SAG-AFTRA strike, but now the Guardians of the Galaxy star is back in the booth to voice lines for the CG-animated film which is on track for its May 24, 2024 release date. In a behind-the-scenes photo Pratt shared on his Instagram page, he declared, "Strike over. Back in action. LETS GO!!"
Learning the ways of the Force represents only a fraction of actress Daisy Ridley’s potential. True, the 31-year-old is best known for portraying Rey Skywalker in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but she’s accumulated an impressive resume outside of that galaxy far, far away. In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, the thespian discussed the upcoming projects she’s most excited about working on, which includes teaming up again with her Ophelia (2018) co-star Clive Owen in Cleaner. Ridley said:
Veteran actor Matthew Modine is speaking out against the tentative deal between the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Modine's point of contention with the reached agreement is due to the topic that prolonged the 118-day strike: Artificial Intelligence. In a lengthy statement, the Stranger Things actor shared that he would not vote to ratify the deal, arguing that "Consent, in the context of this agreement, is tyranny."
Singer Jubin Nautiyal is set to showcase his versatility by featuring in the upcoming short film Tum Aaye Ho Toh, a cinematic musical, which will not only see him as the soulful voice behind the melodies but also as the lead actor. Set to feature an album comprising six captivating songs, he will be sharing screen space with Shreya Chaudhry of Bandish Bandits fame.
Ecstatic with the development after having launched the trailer of Tum Aaye Ho Toh, Jubin Nautiyal said, “I'm thrilled about this project—it's a dream project for me that has been in making for almost 5 years. It is not an album, it’s my life and working on this project has been very emotional and overwhelming for me. A project like this happens once in a while and my fans are in for a treat. This isn't just a cinematic musical but a soulful musical journey celebrating unrequited love. I can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”
The amalgamation of his soulful voice, Rocky's lyrics, and the on-screen chemistry with Shreya Chaudhry is set to create a cultural phenomenon. This video is directed by Jyoti Kapur Das and produced by Shivam Malhotra, Guneet Dogra and Shiv Malhotra.
Excited about working on this project, actress Shreya Chaudhry said, “The story and the music touched my heart and I realised that as an actor there was a tremendous scope to perform. It truly is going to be a film that the audience will remember - and our chemistry, the songs, will be talked about for a long time.”
Director Jyoti Kapur Das said that Tum Aaye Ho Toh will follow beats of a love story across timelines, giving it a feel of a timeless romance with memorable music. “Usually film stories are written first and the music tracks follow. Tum Aaye Ho Toh is a story that was inspired by the beautiful music that Rocky and Jubin created! This is an ode to the all the love stories I have loved watching on screen and a salute to the concept of soulmates seeking each other out across time and geographies. I am so grateful to Shivam, Guneet and the producers for letting me tell this story, exactly how I wanted to,” Jyoti said.
The film’s music has been given by Rocky-Jubin. Tum Aaye Hi Toh has been backed by RadF Media. Further details about the project will be announced soon.

Disney’s Wish has bounced back from its first round of less than glowing critics’ reviews, to land a much more positive score of 81% from Rotten Tomatoes audience ratings.

Based on the 1957 novel 'The Executioners' by John D. MacDonald, Cape Fear has seen two film iterations over the years. One in 1962 which starred Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, and Polly Bergen, and another in 1991 which featured Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, and Jessica Lange. Now it looks as if the novel will be making its way to the small screen thanks to executive producers Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, who are currently shopping the idea for a Cape Fear series around Hollywood.
Stephen Tobolowsky cites Groundhog Day as one of the projects he's most proud of during his decades-long career. His role in the classic comedy, albeit short, is unforgettable for fans of the film. He portrays insurance agent Ned Ryerson (aka Needlenose Ned), who annoys Bill Murray's Phil so much that he eventually punches him. For Tobolowsky, one of the reasons the film stands out is the difficulty in getting to the finished product — as the original script was revisited and the cast began "getting new pages every day." In a recent conversation with ComicBook.com, while promoting his new film Love Virtually, Tobolowsky recalled the arduous process (which he likens to "guerilla theater") of filming Groundhog Day.
Scream star Jenna Ortega will not be returning for the seventh installment in the franchise.

200 years after the emperor’s death, Napoleon Bonaparte has conquered something else: Disney. Well, at least in the short term. Director Ridley Scott’s historical drama Napoleon has won a small victory against the animated movie Wish. But the five-day Thanksgiving weekend is merely the first battle in a much larger war. However, give credit where credit is due, because Napoleon did perform slightly better than Wish in early screenings held on Tuesday, November 21.
Kevin Costner's journey from Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone to his new western epic, Horizon: An American Saga is one that has continued the actor’s love of stories linked to the American West. While his departure from Yellowstone has caused many headlines in the last several months, and threatened to derail the popular Paramount+ series, Costner is now fully invested in his two-part Horizon project. That seems to involve branching out into the coffee business. In partnership with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Costner is debuting the newly crafted Horizon Blend next month.
Karate Kid stars Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan will join forces for a new movie in the Karate Kid franchise, it has been confirmed. While Chan starred in a reboot of The Karate Kid in 2010, a movie that was made as a separate story to that of Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso and his mentor Mr Miyagi, it seems that the pair will be brought together for Sony Pictures’ latest installment. Which is now set to be released December 2024.
Jason Momoa is loving life.

Sharon Stone felt her ideal co-stars for the 1995 revisionist western The Quick and the Dead were Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. When TriStar hesitated to cast them, she took matters into her own hands: she paid their salaries. In a recent conversation with E! News, while promoting Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, DiCaprio recalled Stone's kind gesture, noting how thankful he was for her generosity:
With the premiere of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom just around the corner, the start of the new DCU is getting closer. But that doesn't mean that it's almost time for casting news to surface about who will be playing Batman in The Brave and the Bold.
The Ewoks have always been a bone of contention in the Star Wars franchise. Their introduction in Return of the Jedi saw the opinion of the original trilogy take a small dive, as the fuzzy little critters were called out as nothing more than a marketing strategy. However, that hasn’t stopped some fans taking the Ewoks to their hearts, and in the case of Deadbolt Films, turning them into dangerous and terrifying adversaries who take cues from the Predator movies…especially if you are a Stormtrooper.
Back in 2019, Disney seemed to be riding high on a wave of success. From the mighty Avengers franchise under their Marvel Studios banner, through the animation of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation, to the live-action remakes of Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Aladdin, it seemed that little could stop the House of Mouse’s dominance of the box office. However, Disney’s fortunes have taken a turn for the worse in recent years, and it looks like their latest animated movie, Wish, is going to have its own struggle to turn things around after a poor initial wave of reviews.

Producer Kevin Wright recently revealed why they opted not to include a traditional post-credits scene in the Loki Season 2 finale. Wright explained in an interview with TVLine that they deliberately chose not to include any post-credits scenes, neither in the script nor during filming. This decision was driven by their desire to offer viewers a self-contained narrative, one that didn't rely on teaser scenes for future Marvel projects. By doing so, they aimed to provide a story with a sense of closure, ensuring that the season's plot arcs and character developments reached a satisfying conclusion without the need for lingering cliffhangers.
In the upcoming Walt Disney Animation Studios film, Wish, star Chris Pine voices Magnifico, a king with the power to grant wishes.

At first glance, it looks like Ted has lost his mind! But Chauncey isn’t anything like Seth MacFarlane’s comical teddy bear. No, as the tagline states: “Meet Chauncey.

The '80s are a beacon of nostalgia, from music and video games to television and movies. The era brought us Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, numerous John Hughes romps, and Ghostbusters. From the librarian’s terrified scream and the film’s unforgettable theme music, Ghostbusters grabs you in its Proton Pack stream and doesn’t let go. The eccentric and hysterical performances from stars Bill Murray, Harold Ramis (R.I.P.), and Dan Aykroyd perfectly complement straight man Ernie Hudson. Writing duo Aykroyd and Ramis’ script and Ivan Reitman’s direction seamlessly blend laughs with some genuinely creepy scares and effects that still hold up nearly forty years later.

You can watch the action-packed clip above and get a sense of Lutz's character.
It’s like fans of film and television winning their very own golden tickets. The world was a much less entertaining place during the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes.

Hollywood supertar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has revealed that multiple political parties have approached him about running for President of the United States next year.

Over the years, the Moana star has provided various arguments for and against the idea, but clearly, that hasn't stopped some political parties from reaching out to the action icon.
Captain America: Brave New World is one of the Marvel Studios films that was recently delayed, even though it had managed to finish filming before the start of the actors' strike. Unfortunately, it seems that the change in its release date has to do with the poor reception of the movie in test screenings.
While it wasn't the Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite, Superman was left powerless all the same. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike began back on July 14, 2023, on the heels of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, and they left showbuisness in a seemingly perpetual state of Hollywood doldrums.

Directed by Nia DaCosta, The Marvels hits theaters this week amid reports of a crisis in the MCU, and after the company's previous 2023 releases generated mixed reactions.

And which group will The Marvels join?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up to welcome the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters following Disney's merger with 20th Century Fox.

In 2011, director Rupert Wyatt relaunched the popular but long-dormant Planet of the Apes franchise. It was a grand venture, especially given the classic nature of the 1968 original screenplay with leading man Charlton Heston. Wyatt’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes would be the first of a trilogy. Together, the three films would give a complete and riveting account of the uprising of the primate class to become the dominant species on the planet. The sequels, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War of the Planet of the Apes fell under the direction of Matt Reeves.

The film teamed two of Hollywood’s best and brightest comedic actors together in DeVito and Crystal, and these lifelong friends have plans to return to the big screen in a sequel still. DeVito made the announcement during an interview with GQ:
Terrifier creator Damien Leone has had to fend off a fair amount of criticism for the gory and harrowing crimes of his creation, Art the Clown. However, the director is clear in his goals for the most imaginative and unpredictable horror franchise of the century, and for his part is happy to defend the movies when it comes to one complaint in particular.
Denis Villeneuve's hit drama Sicario seemed to come out of nowhere, and it surprisingly launched a franchise. The original film from 2015 follows an idealistic FBI agent (Emily Blunt) enlisted by a government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border between the U.S. and Mexico. The film's hard-hitting 2018 sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, continues to follow the drug war on the border, which has escalated as the cartels have begun trafficking terrorists across the U.S. border. To fight the war, federal agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) re-teams with the secretive Alejandro (Benicio del Toro). Will they reunite again for the third installment?
Will fate ever reunite Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger as twins again? The two actors were already huge names respectively in Hollywood when they starred together in director Ivan Reitman’s 1988 comedy blockbuster Twins. 35 years later, the A-listers have yet to reunite on the big screen as Vincent (DeVito) and Julius (Schwarzenegger) Benedict, and DeVito facetiously blames his co-star’s tenure as the Governor of California for the reason Twins 2 hasn’t materialized. DeVito said in an interview with GQ:
Godzilla Minus One emerges as a standout in a field often riddled with subpar sequels and uninspired franchise expansions, drawing acclaim from filmmakers and critics. Gareth Edwards, the architect of the 2014 MonsterVerse overhaul, believes it could redefine the franchise's benchmarks. As the cinematic titan Godzilla prepares to make waves in Japan this week, with an eye on a later North American debut, anticipation is high. Director Takashi Yamazaki has taken up the directorial mantle this time, steering the franchise into waters that even a seasoned director like Edwards finds invigorating and slightly envy-inducing.
Lisa Marie Presley didn’t care for Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla screenplay. The late daughter of Elvis Presley (the King of Rock and Roll) sadly passed away earlier this year at the age of only 54. However, before Lisa Marie’s death, she read the script for Coppola’s upcoming film. And in a pair of emails acquired by Variety, Lisa Marie expressed her reservations about how her dad is going to be portrayed in Priscilla. Lisa Marie wrote:
Nicolas Cage, whose career spans a number of contrasting roles, has recently shed a little more light on how his intended appearance in The Flash is not what ended up on screen. As an icon of cinema in his own right, Cage was set to revive one of the roles that got away from him, namely that of Superman, Borrowed from an era when he and Tim Burton toyed with the concept, Cage was finally able to make his debut as the Kryptonian - but not everything was as it appeared.
Ryan Gosling portrays the unknown stuntman in The Fall Guy. Director David Leitch’s big-screen adaptation of the Lee Majors-led television series is still slated for a theatrical release in the spring of 2024, and brand-new, behind-the-scenes images have dropped featuring Gosling and co-star Emily Blunt (courtesy of Vanity Fair).

Months after the premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy 3, which focused mainly on the story of Rocket Raccoon, Bradley Cooper pays tribute to his character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Halloween by dressing like his on-screen persona. But he is not the only one who surprised the world with his costume for the spookiest season of the year. Halloween is one of the most anticipated times of the year. Not only because of what the date represents for Western culture, and especially American culture, but also for fans of cinema, television and music, since some of the most popular celebrities in the world are always ready to put their skills to work and dress up as some of the most iconic characters in pop culture. And this year was no exception.
