For the next forty years, Wayne consistently starred in major films, becoming famous for some of the greatest Westerns ever created, including classics like The Searchers, True Grit, Rio Bravo, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. He’s still considered a screen legend today. Interestingly, John Wayne carefully chose his roles and turned down many parts due to his personal beliefs and preferences.
HBO CEO Casey Bloys recently told Deadline that three popular shows are probably coming to an end. While he hinted at cancellations, he emphasized that the final decision will rest with the creators of each show.
Recent merchandise related to The Mandalorian and Grogu has unveiled a new type of Stormtrooper called the Imperial Remnant Snowtrooper, offering fans the best look so far at a key enemy in the upcoming movie. This is the second new Stormtrooper variation revealed for the film, the first being linked to the AT-RT vehicles that are also expected to appear.
The show did a good job choosing its main actors – a young girl named Amy Bellafonte and federal agent Brad Wolgast – but it strayed from the source material in the novels. This led to its cancellation, and many fans of both the books and the series were disappointed, hoping for a more faithful adaptation.
This stylish and well-paced spy series gets almost everything right in its portrayal of British intelligence work in today’s Egypt and Colombia. Even before the new season, it was considered one of the best dramas the BBC has ever produced, and the recent episodes have only solidified that reputation.
As a huge Marvel fan and LEGO collector, I was thrilled to see a recent leak hinting at the first Avengers: Doomsday sets coming out in October! Apparently, we can expect around five or six sets based on the movie. And it looks like LEGO is also releasing their annual Marvel advent calendar in September, priced around $45. This year’s calendar is especially cool because it includes mini-figures of Doctor Doom, Ghost Rider, and even a festive, holiday-themed Wolverine! It’s shaping up to be a great end of the year for both Marvel and LEGO fans like me.
I was reading an interview with James Jordan, who’s become a real favorite of mine thanks to his work in five of Taylor Sheridan’s shows. He was asked about whether he’ll be in Sheridan’s new series, The Madison, and he played coy, saying he couldn’t confirm or deny anything. But then he added something really telling: he basically said he’d say yes to any role Taylor Sheridan offers him, and honestly, who could blame him? I’d jump at the chance too!
The movie Apocalypto is currently available to watch for free on Tubi, but it won’t be there much longer. It’s listed as leaving the platform soon. While the Mayans famously predicted the world would end in 2012, there’s no exact date for when Apocalypto will be removed from Tubi. Films on Tubi usually rotate in and out each month, so it’s likely the movie will be gone by the end of February.
According to the report, Gambino will be the first of eight films funded by Icarus Entertainment Fund and NextG Brothers Fund. These companies aim to establish a complete film production hub in Atlanta, offering financing, production, and post-production services. Edward Zeng, founder of NextG, shared details with Screen magazine.
Even though X-Men: The Last Stand is flawed and sometimes difficult to watch, it still has some worthwhile elements. I think certain themes and concepts from that film could be adapted for the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe down the line. However, I’m really hoping the upcoming ‘Doomsday’ storyline will deliver a truly epic and conclusive X-Men event.
