We finally have a new series to look forward to from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, and we couldn't be more excited! It's been over a year since The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ended its run on Prime Video, so we'd say we've been waiting long enough. Thankfully, the wait is almost over! Sherman-Palladino has teamed up with Prime Video once again for her latest show, Étoile, co-created alongside her husband, Daniel Palladino.

Now, don't expect Étoile to be a carbon copy of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—because it’s not. For starters, it’s a drama rather than a comedy-drama. However, we can probably expect there to still be some comedic moments in Étoile. It probably just won't be so heavy on the humor. Oh, and according to the show’s plot, we can definitely look forward to some dancing!

Yet another adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera is in development for Disney+, and the project may now be honing in on its female lead.

According to scooper Mttsh, Rachel Zegler is being eyed to play Christine, the object of the titular Opera Ghost's obsession. Whether this means she's actually in talks for the role or simply someone the studio is interested in is not clear.

Titled Phantom, this YA take on the classic novel by Gaston Leroux will be directed and executive produced by Kenny Ortega, who has led two major Disney franchises with High School Musical and The Descendants.

It doesn't sound like Ortega's version will be changing up the basic premise, with the story focusing on Erik, "a mysterious, disfigured musical genius who lives beneath the Paris Opera House. He becomes obsessed with a young soprano, Christine, and manipulates events to make her the star of the opera.

To mark his birthday this week, we celebrate his versatility from bumbling Mr Bean to his punctilious headteacher in The Secret Policeman’s Ball

Atkinson is the bumbling Father Gerald, who praises “the Holy Goat”, invites the happy couple to be “Johned in matrimony” and asks the groom to take his bride to be his “awful wedded wife”. Cutaways to the congregation’s reactions – Hugh Grant snickering, Simon Callow stifling a guffaw – do little to convince us that Richard Curtis’s script is top-tier stuff. At least Atkinson brings some typically subtle modulations, such as the vicar’s premature flickers of smugness when he wrongly believes his worst malapropisms to be behind him.

Playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise has been a blessing and a curse for Mark Hamill: a blessing because he has made millions of dollars and become more famous than he ever imagined, and a curse because the character has stuck with him throughout his adult life. Hamill has been a part of over 50 live-action and animated productions, yet for some reason, fans (and his peers) see him as nothing more than the Jedi Master who fought in the Galactic Civil War during the reign of the Galactic Empire. It’s a good problem to have.

Pretty Woman Credit – Touchstone Pictures

Pretty Woman is a romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall from a screenplay by J.F. Lawton. The 1990 film follows Edward, a rich entrepreneur who hires Vivian, a prostitute, to go with him to a few social events, but when both of them fall in love with each other, they try to work out their differences.

Speak of Merchant Ivory and most people’s thoughts go straight to English stately homes, elegant costumes and stilted drawing room conversations. This is, however, reflective of only a tiny part of the studio’s output, and even then, the storylines are far from what is popularly assumed. Frequently critical of the aristocracy, if not outright satirical, it also did groundbreaking work around gender and sexuality, and challenged establishment narratives around colonialism. Stephen Soucy’s documentary traces its history across four decades as well as looking back at how its two creative spirits came to meet and moving further on to reflect on Ivory’s work since his partner’s death.

In doing so, it incorporates contributions from some of the most esteemed names in British cinema: Simon Callow, Vanessa Redgrave, Madhur Jaffrey, Emma Thompson – as well as popular stars like Hugh Grant and Helena Bonham-Carter. The voices of studio regulars who are no longer.

Exclusive: David Haig (Four Weddings and a Funeral) has joined the cast of Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino’s upcoming ballet dramedy Étoile as a series regular, Deadline has learned.

Haig was cast ahead of production on Season 1, which began in January, but not previously announced. Details on his role are being kept under wraps.

Set in New York City and Paris, the eight-episode first season of Étoile follows the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies, as they embark on an ambitious gambit to save their storied institutions by swapping their most talented stars.

Étoile is created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, who writes, directs, and serves as executive producer.

Haig joins a cast that includes the Emmy-winning Marvelous Mrs. Maisel alum Luke Kirby, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Gideon Glick, Simon Callow, Lou de Laâge and David Alvarez.

One, two, Pinocchio's coming for you. No, wait. Thats not right. Its one, two, Freddys coming for you, the nursery rhyme made famous in A Nightmare on Elm Street, which just so happened to feature Robert Englund, who has been announced alongside Richard Brake to star in Pinocchio: Unstrung. See, its all connected. Set for release in 2025, the movie is another entry in The Twisted Childhood Universe (dubbed the Poohniverse) created by Rhys Frake-Waterfield that follows in the footsteps of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, and its recent sequel.

Per Variety, horror legends Englund and Blake have been cast in the new flick, for which production is already underway. Blake will star as Geppetto, while Englund is said to be taking on the role of Cricket, who was appointed by the Blue Fairy in the original Disney movie to help guide Pinnochio on his journey as he becomes a real boy.

Netflix recently revealed our first official look at Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia with a brief teaser promo for season 4 of The Witcher, but some new set photos give us arguably our best look yet at the actor fully suited-up as the titular monster hunter.

The shoot is believed to be winding down, with scenes for the final two episodes being filmed in North Wales around Llanberis, near Padarn Lake.

The recent third season of Netflix's fantasy adventure series was original Geralt actor Henry Cavill's last, as the Man of Steel star announced his decision to part ways with the streamer's adaptation of the best-selling novels back in 2022.

If horror fans thought October couldnt get any better thanks to the plethora of genre films making their way to streaming just in time for spooky season, think again, because one of 2024s most bizarre movies is finally hitting Peacock this week. Per ComicBook.com, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield's Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is making its way to the streamer on October 1, giving fans who might have missed it in theaters a chance to finally check out the controversial horror film from Jagged Edge Productions.

Based on characters created by A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 serves as a direct sequel to the 2023 movie that helped kick off an interesting new trend in horror cinema that sees beloved childrens characters that are in the public domain turned into slasher villains. Produced on a budget of just $500,000, the independent film went on to gross $7.5 million...

Comedy sequels are notoriously difficult to pull off, but there are a few exceptions to this rule that have kept fans laughing. Comedy movies tend to derive a lot of their humor and conflict from a particular situation, and once the story is wrapped up, there is no logical reason to bring the characters back for more. This is why a lot of comedy sequels feel overly contrived, or unrelated to the first movie.

While unnecessary comedy sequels have sadly become the norm, this just makes it even more exciting when a sequel lives up to the standards of the original. Not all movies are set up for sequels, but comedy can often get more creative. Audiences will forgive comedies for coming up with silly premises as long as the movies are just as funny. If a comedy sequel gives beloved characters a fun new story that plays to their strengths,...

Dench's performances in classic British historical roles showcase her acting versatility beyond genre typecasting. Hardy life realities and complex character study in "Notes On A Scandal" highlight Dench's captivating portrayal of moral complexities. Dench's latest work in "Belfast" secures her legacy as a top actress, proving her ability to emotionally resonate with audiences.

Dame Judi Dench has been a hallmark of British cinema and theater for generations, and audiences have long been enraptured by her ability to capture any role with ease. Though she got her start on the stage, Dench has shown herself to be capable of bringing any genre of film to life. Though she's received plenty of accolades for her performances in movies, Dench isn't defined by these awards but by the lives she's touched with her performances. She's an excellent example of a woman that the film industry has continued to celebrate as she ages gracefully.

Quick Links The Duality of Eddie Izzard The Miscasting of Rob Chambers A Gorgeous Throwback Aesthetic but Distracting Subplot Doctor Jekyll Hides the Hyde

You're probably somewhat versed in Jekyll & Hyde lore, or maybe even well-versed. Robert Louis Stevenson's iconic novella, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, was first published way back in 1886, and 140 years later, it's been adapted in countless ways and forms. It's a perfect framework for any allegory about duality, and who better than celebrated actor and comedian Eddie Izzard to tackle the dual role with the modern reimagining, Doctor Jekyll.

Sure, there have been a plethora of Jekyll and Hyde portrayals over the years, but this new iteration from director Joe Stephenson and writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern adds a few neat little bells and whistles to the mix such as the titular character taking on the occupation of pharmaceutical titan. However, we're left wanting...

‘Kneecap’, the name of the Irish hip hop group, and the music biopic about — and starring — the groundbreaking trio, opens today on 700+ screens, following up a U.S. tour last fall and leading into another one.

The hybrid documentary, which was a buzzy Sundance title when Sony Pictures Classics nabbed it, recently swept the Galway Film Fleadh and was named Ireland’s Oscar International Feature submission.

Written and directed by Rich Peppiatt, it features group members — Naoise Ó Cairealláin “Móglaí Bap”; Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh “Mo Chara”; and JJ Ó Dochartaigh “Dj Provaí” as themselves, but it’s scripted, and actors, including Michael Fassbender, play their younger selves and family members.

We spoke with Doctor Jekyll director Joe Stephenson leading up to the release of his new British horror film that is reigniting the famed Hammer Films brand. Since 1934, the studio which wasn't initially involved in Stephenson's film but would later lend its hand has produced acclaimed projects that feature the iconic characters of Frankenstein, Dracula, and more. And now, Stephenson has helmed a modern reimagining of the famed 1886 novella about two other fictional icons: Jekyll & Hyde.

"I was always using references of British horror of the past and always structuring it as a slow-burn kind of energy heading towards a chaotic climax," Stephenson told MovieWeb about the development process. "That kind of was a bit of like, really what they did in the '60s and '70s. A lot of those films have that slow-burn beginning, just people wandering around saying that things look spooky, and then chaos.

"An isolated mansion, a mysterious locked room, creepy corridors, a dusty cellar, a mad doctor." Hammer Films has revealed another new official trailer for an indie horror creation called Doctor Jekyll, starring Eddie Izzard as Jekyll. This first premiered at last year's FrightFest horror festival in London, and it'll be out to watch in the US (also on VOD) early in August in just a few weeks. Hammer Films invites you to view Doctor Jekyll, a "modern re-imagining" of the classic tale from the 1886 novella starring Eddie Izzard as a Dr. Nina this time around - a pharma maven plagued by her demons. Directed by Joe Stephenson, Doctor Jekyll is a slow-burn gothic horror that delves into themes of duality, concocting a surprising mix of dark humor and flashes of camp all within a twisted fairytale. This also stars Scott Chambers, Simon Callow, Lindsay Duncan, Jonathan Hyde, Morgan Watkins, Robyn Cara,...

Hammer Films returns to life with a new owner and a new slate of movies, and up first is the Eddie Izzard-starring Doctor Jekyll. The studio has released a second Doctor Jekyll trailer this afternoon, giving a closer look at the horror-induced insanity ahead.

Look for Doctor Jekyll in US theaters and VOD on August 2, 2024.

Director Joe Stephenson, of acclaimed drama “Chicken” and feature documentary “McKellen: Playing the Part,” developed the new adaptation of the classic tale from Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella with first time writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern.

Doctor Jekyll focuses on a reclusive Nina Jekyll finding friendship with her newly hired help, Rob, played by rising star Scott Chambers, who must work together to prevent Hyde from destroying her life.

The film is described as “a slow-burn gothic horror that delves into themes of duality, concocting a surprising mix of dark humor and flashes of camp within a twisted fairytale.

Following the phenomenal success of 2023’s most infamous film, which earned more than $5,000,000 in cinemas worldwide despite its modest budget, horror sequel Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 which was released in select UK & Irish cinemas on 7 June and to digital platforms and Blu-ray on 28th June – and to celebrate we have a bundle of Both Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey And Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 on Blu-ray to giveaway!

Five months following the murders at Hundred Acre Wood, Christopher Robin tries returning to his regular life working at the hospital while regularly attending therapy sessions to deal with his Ptsd. Meanwhile, search teams have been sent out into the woods to hunt the purported monsters that Christopher claimed to have escaped, while much of the community aren’t buying his “monster” story and believe him to be the killer of the group of girls in the woods.

Made on a budget of less than $100,000, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (watch it Here) earned more than $6 million during its global release in early 2023… and sure, the movie racked up the Razzies, but it’s money that matters, and that’s why Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 was made and given a theatrical release earlier this year. We know the Australia-based company Umbrella Entertainment will be giving the film a special edition Blu-ray release next month, and now it has been announced (via Collider) that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 will be receiving a VOD release in the United States on June 26th!

A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh and the characters in it lapsed into the public domain at the start of last year, and that’s how Frake-Waterfield was able to make these movies happen, no permission required.

More photos from the set of The Witcher season 4 have been shared online, and this time we have an actual first glimpse of Liam Hemsworth suited-up as Geralt of Rivia!

The recent third season of Netflix's fantasy adventure series was original Geralt actor Henry Cavill's last, as the Man of Steel star announced his decision to part ways with the streamer's adaptation of the best-selling novels back in 2022.

Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) will take over as the titular monster hunter from season 4 on, and a recent photo from the set featured his stunt-double Joel Adrian in-costume. Adrian looked enough like Hemsworth to fool a lot of people, but these snaps spotlight the man himself.

The photos show Hemsworth as Geralt doing battle with Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu), and appear to be recreating a scene from season 3 which saw the mage emerge victorious. There is also one shot of Geralt...

Though the image did fool us at first, this is not actually Hemsworth himself (although he does look quite a bit like him), but his stunt-double Joel Adrian.

During a recent interview with Collider, co-star Freya Allan said she's looking forward to seeing what Hemsworth brings to the role, but is also concerned about the level of fan backlash he's sure to receive.

ITV has confirmed that the fourteenth series of Vera will be the last. The details of the show ending are right here.

Brenda Blethyn’s career has been prolific, from playing timid librarian Alison opposite Simon Callow in Andrew Norriss and Richard Fegen’s wonderful 1980s sitcom Chance In A Million to her BAFTA winning turn as Cynthia in Mike Leigh’s 1996 film Secrets And Lies.

For over a decade, Blethyn has played the softly spoken yet dogged detective Vera Stanhope, created by author Ann Cleeves.

Stanhope, always kitted out in her trusty trenchcoat and hat, and her team, who include DC Joe Ashworth (David Leon), Kenmy Lockhart (Jon Morrison), DC Mark Edwards (Riley Jones) and DS Aiden Heady (Kenny Doughty) solve crimes in and around Northumberland.

ITV has now confirmed that the 14th series of Vera will be the last, though.

Now the Australia-based company Umbrella Entertainment is taking pre-orders for their special edition Blu-ray release of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, which is scheduled to be released on July 17th.

The childhood classic Bambi is taking a dark turn into the horror genre with the upcoming release of Bambi: The Reckoning trailer. This film is part of a growing trend of reimagining iconic characters in a more sinister light, as seen in the Twisted Childhood Universe, which includes the recent success of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2.

The unexpected success of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey led to the creation of a profitable cinematic universe. The Poohniverse is expanding with new films like Monsters Assemble and Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. Despite challenges with acquiring popular horror icons, the Poohniverse is on track to become a niche but ambitious franchise.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey may have "won" every Razzie it was nominated for, but it made a profit. The budget was a mere $50,000, raking in nearly $5 million worldwide, a massive multiple on its budget but not quite an A-list horror number. Even still, that profit margin ended up being the unexpected start of not just a franchise but a cinematic universe. And, now, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 has had its three-day run in theaters, with a newly-announced third film on the way.

But Winnie is going to be far from alone—not just in Blood and Honey 3 but...

The original Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was easily one of the worst films of last year, but based on its outrageous premise and low budget, it managed to turn a profit. That of course means a sequel, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, with all the usual claims of a bigger budget, more kills and better effects. Conspicuously absent were promises of a decent script or acting, however.

Taking place a year after the original, Blood and Honey 2 opens with the introduction of Owl, who looks more like a vulture than anything. He joins Pooh and Piglet in their fun and games, starting with the torture and killing of three scantily clad campers.

Elsewhere, Christopher Robin, now played by Scott Chambers, aka producer Scott Jeffrey,...

Embracing meta direction and clever twists keeps this sequel fresh and surprisingly enjoyable. Well-done prosthetics, pacing, and gore make for a satisfying horror experience. Despite being a bit mean and sacrilegious to Milne's memory, and having some weak internal logic, the film offers a raw love letter to over-the-top horror fans.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was trendy but abysmal. Yet somehow, writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield managed to garner the cash with their Jagged Edge Productions for a sequel. The filmmaker reportedly listened to the niche audience who balked at the low-budget horror film that pooed upon A.A. Milne’s classic IP. His “Come to Jesus” moment lured in co-screenwriter Matt Leslie (Summer of ’84) and the duo pretty much reinvented everything for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. The story is plausible if not better, and the horror and gore recall the gritty, one-note, blood-soaked horror escapades from the 1970s and ’80s, such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre,...

We already knew that there’s going to be another installment in the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey horror franchise, because it was announced earlier this month that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (which is now on the last day of its three-day theatrical run) a part of a cinematic universe with other horror movies inspired by children’s stories, like Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, Bambi: The Reckoning, and Pinocchio Unstrung, and it’s building up to the crossover movie Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, which will be released in 2025. But now Variety has been able to confirm that, in addition to Poohniverse, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is also moving ahead. This sequel will have a bigger budget than either of its predecessors, and “will introduce new characters from the original Winnie-the-Pooh stories, including Rabbit, the heffalumps and the woozles.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is in the works with a bigger budget, introducing new nightmarish characters from A.A. Milne's world. The 'Poohniverse' will bring together Pooh, Piglet, horror versions of Bambi, Peter Pan, and others in a crossover event movie. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 takes a meta approach with a bloody storyline and a mix of positive and mixed reviews.

A third movie in the Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is now officially in the works. The news comes quickly following the theatrical release of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, with Variety revealing that Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 will have an even “bigger budget” that this year’s follow-up. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 will also introduce several more beloved characters from the world of A.A. Milne, with Rabbit and the heffalumps due to be twisted and warped into nightmarish creations alongside the likes of Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger.

For more than 40 years now, moviegoers have lined up to see the spectacle of people being slaughtered by a psycho with a chainsaw, a psycho in a Halloween mask, a psycho in a goalie mask, a psycho with burnt skin and a striped shirt and fedora, or a psycho with S&m nails in his face. So why not a psycho Winnie the Pooh?

“Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” raised a few hackles — otherwise known as free publicity — for having the scuzzy temerity to take a couple of beloved children’s characters and place them at the center of a slasher film. Yet the stunt concept was about all there was to it. The movie, made on a budget of $50,000, was too logy and inept to be a real scandal, or any sort of theatrical sleeper hit. On paper, “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” sounded like an extreme TikTok video,...

Additionally, the meta public domain-raiding horror movie has landed a solid 85% approval rating from audiences who have seen the film during its limited theatrical release.

If the original Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey, as the exact same movie, had been made in Italy during the ‘70s, it’s just the sort of film Quentin Tarantino would be hailing as a lost masterpiece today.

Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble plans to bring twisted children's characters together for a terror-filled event inspired by Freddy Vs Jason and The Avengers. The success of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey sequel hinges on commercial performance, as budget size for this horror film grows significantly. Set to release in 2025, the Poohniverse movie faces challenges from critics and audiences, but the potential for an epic monster mash-up still shines through.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has a lot to answer for, as Jagged Edge Productions has announced their ultimate goal for the public domain slasher franchise - a huge crossover event entitled Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.

The release of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was timed to perfection, arriving as the cuddly bear from A.A. Milne's stories entered the public domain and became fair game for anyone willing to deconstruct it and put it back together in any way of their choosing.

Made on a budget of less than $100,000, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (watch it Here) earned more than $6 million during its global release in early 2023… and sure, the movie racked up the Razzies, but it’s money that matters, and that’s why Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is set to receive a three-day theatrical run in the United States on March 26, 27, and 28th, courtesy of Fathom Events, ITN Studios, and Jagged Edge Productions. (Tickets can be purchased online at Fathom Events or at participating theatre box offices.) With the release date swiftly approaching, a couple clips have arrived online to show us Pooh, Tigger, and Christopher Robin in action, and you can check those out on our JoBlo Horror channel. To see Tigger, check out This Video. And to see a creepy moment where Pooh comes rising from the ground, Click Here.

Pooh is pissed. But, rather than slaying alone, this time, he’s dragging his pals, Tigger, Piglet, and Owl, along for the blood bath. Hello, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. We’ve been waiting for you. Mostly because we know Team Pooh can pull off a “better” slasher film than Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Confirmation of that comes via WTPBH2 star Lewis Santer (playing Tigger), who tells us that the sequel to the 2023 jaw-dropper is “like the first film on steroids.”

Reportedly, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield, who shares writing duties alongside Matt Leslie in the sequel, wanted to flush out a better tale here, however grizzly and gory it is, in this freakishly savage (but fun) spin on A.A. Milne’s classic characters. The sequel finds Winnie-the-Pooh (Ryan Oliva), Piglet (Eddy MacKenzie), Owl (Marcus Massey), and Tigger enraged when their home and lives are endangered after Christopher Robin...

Tony Curran remains open to revisiting his role as van Gogh in future Doctor Who episodes if the script is impactful. Historical figures returning in Doctor Who isn't unheard of, but Curran understands the importance of preserving the character's impact. Despite the demand to see Curran reprise his role, leaving Vincent's tale concluded in "Vincent and the Doctor" may be best.
