Disney’s Live-Action Bambi Movie Faces Setback As Writer Shares New Update

So, back in January 2020, Disney announced they were planning a live-action Bambi – kind of like what they did with The Lion King and The Jungle Book, using really realistic CGI. I was excited because Sarah Polley was set to direct, and Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Lindsey Beer were writing the script. But honestly, we haven’t heard a single thing about it since. It’s like the project just disappeared, which is a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing how they’d tackle that story.

‘Wicked: For Good’ Sets Peacock Streaming Date With Bonus Content

As a huge fan of the stage production, I was thrilled to see Wicked: For Good hit theaters on November 21, 2025, and it absolutely smashed box office records! It brought in $147 million domestically on its opening weekend, which was even bigger than the first Wicked movie’s debut. So far, it’s earned over $342.9 million in the US and $526.6 million globally. That puts it as the sixth highest-grossing film of the year domestically and twelfth worldwide – a truly magical success!

Keke Palmer’s The ‘Burbs Is a Horror-Comedy Remake With a Surprisingly Sweet Twist

Peacock’s new series, premiering February 8th, is inspired by the 1989 horror comedy The ‘Burbs, but otherwise offers a fresh take on the story. The original film, starring Tom Hanks, playfully poked fun at the common movie trope of seemingly perfect suburban life hiding dark secrets – a theme explored in films like All That Heaven Allows, Revolutionary Road, American Beauty, and The Stepford Wives. This new ‘Burbs, created by Celeste Hughey and expanded into eight episodes, initially feels like a predictable blend of the original movie and recent racially conscious thrillers popularized by Jordan Peele (whose film Nope also stars a cast member from this series). However, the show quickly establishes its own identity, offering a lighter sense of humor and a surprisingly thoughtful exploration of the secrets hidden within suburban communities.
