Avatar: The Last Airbender is a series that requires little introduction. As famous as the show is for its complex and mature storytelling in a children’s cartoon, its first attempt at a live-action franchise is equally notorious for the horrible product that it turned in for audiences.
Avatars of the past in The Legend of Korra || Paramount
The creators of the original show, Bryan Konietzko, and Micahel Dante Dimartino sat down with Nerdist on their Writer’s Panel and regaled the horrors that caused them to ultimately quit the film production. The film, which would drop the ‘Avatar’ from the title to avoid confusion with James Cameron’s then-upcoming science fiction epic, ended up displeasing fans so much, that the sequels that would cover the rest of the show were completely abandoned.

Drew McIntyre has signed with Paradigm for representation in all areas, Variety has learned exclusively. He continues to be represented by attorney Brad Small at Fox Rothschild
McIntyre (whose real name is Andrew Galloway) is the latest WWE star to sign with Paradigm, joining the likes of Tiffany Stratton, Damian Priest, and C.M. Punk.

The only award season that matters is here! Joking (kind of), but seriously, Fangoria just released the complete list of nominees for the 2024 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. Considering how often horror gets shut out of the mainstream award shows, it's nice to have at least one thing we can rely on year after year.
Last year's Chainsaw Awards included big wins for movies like The Black Phone, Terrifier 2, and Prey. This time, the categories are again stacked, with films like Abigail, Evil Dead Rise, The First Omen, Talk To Me, Late Night with the Devil, and many more going head to head.
Specific performances are also being highlighted, like Tobin Bell in Saw X and Kathryn Newton for both Lisa Frankenstein and Abigail. It's been a fantastic few years for horror, and it'll be exciting to see which movies pull ahead this time around.

The upcoming Gears of War film adaptation could learn a thing or two from previous attempts at bringing games to the big screen, and some fans have pitched an interesting direction for the film that Netflix might be smart to consider.
Video game adaptations are quickly replacing comic book films as the hottest property; to continue to thrive, they must stand out and avoid the pitfalls of the comic book movie genre.

John Cena has announced that he’ll retire from the WWE in 2025.
Cena shared the news during a surprise appearance at WWE’s Money in the Bank event in Toronto, Canada on Saturday night. The 16-time world champion revealed his intention to participate in several events before hanging up his boots for good, including at Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania in 2025, as well as at the upcoming Raw events airing on Netflix.
Much like Dwayne Johnson and Dave Bautista, Cena parlayed his professional wrestling success into a thriving acting career in Hollywood. Cena has already been a part-time wrestler and full-time actor for close to a decade, so his decision to depart the WWE for good likely won’t have much impact on his career one way or the other.

The Bikeriders, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy in leading roles alongside a wide range of stars, was recently released in the theaters. Despite having a star-studded cast, things do not look well for the Jeff Nichols film as it will get its online release, just 18 days after its theatrical release.

The 2024 multistarrer crime drama debuted at the 50th Telluride Film Festival on August 31, 2023. The Bikeriders was slated to be released on December 1, 2023, but the SAG-AFTRA strike delayed the release to this year. Although the film could not do a massive collection at the box office, the audience is utterly disappointed with its ridiculously early online release.
How did Austin Butler fail to give another box office hit with The Bikeriders?

When it comes to reboots of mid 80s cult sci-fi movies that we've been eagerly awaiting fresh news on, there can be only one! And it ain't Edgar Wright's The Running Man (although we are very excited for that one). No, we are of course talking about Chad Stahelski's hotly anticipated new take on Highlander, which is set to see Henry Cavill enter the swords and sorcery fray as the franchise's latest immortal hero. And, at Malta's Mediterranean Film Festival this past weekend, Stahelski revealed that his ambitious new project is set to start filming next January.
"We start shooting in January," said Stahelski in an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub at the festival, "I go to Scotland on Monday to do the final location scout." And what's more, in the same interview Stahelski — the action master who brought us John Wick — also talked up his ambitions...

While Netflix did a decent job with Avatar: The Last Airbender, it is no doubt that the show left a lot to be desired, when it came to the standards set by the IP. Given that Paramount and Nickelodeon are gearing up to expand the franchise with a dedicated studio, there is one way that the original creators of the show can lead up to its big releases, bringing the IP back into the mainstream conversation.

Before the decision to expand the franchise in animated form was made, Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko told more stories set in the times of Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra via the Dark Horse publication, writing comics that were able to expand on the journeys of our beloved characters.

Dwayne Johnson left the world of wrestling to become a full-time Hollywood actor several years back. Although it was a difficult road, Johnson made it to the peaks of Hollywood and John Cean followed suit.

Enough of the drama. The WWE God in reference is Dave Bautista. Being a wrestler, Bautista found worldwide fame when he competed and fought in the ring against notable wrestlers.

Following his recent visit with director James Gunn on the set of Superman, the actor said “there’s always a chance” he could make the franchise leap, but he played coy when it came to naming a character he’d like to play.
“I just have to leave that to the fans and people like James to decide,” Pratt told TMZ. “I’m not exactly sure. I’m truly not sure.
When asked flat-out if he’d join the competing franchise, Pratt didn’t hesitate in declaring, “Yes, of course”
“If it could fit into my schedule and it made sense, I would love it,” he continued. “Of course I love playing Star-Lord, and hopefully there’s a chance that can come back. I just feel so blessed to be able to do any of it,...

The Dcu is still very young, and we have yet to see how James Gunn’s vision will come to life and what it will look like. But, from the looks of it, Gunn has a very firm vision of what he wants to create, and fans of DC Comics definitely have a lot to be excited about. Not many projects have been announced and planned at this point, but one common topic is related to the actors who might appear in the Dcu, especially those who have worked with Gunn in the MCU. And while some names have not been associated with a “transfer” to the Dcu, others – like Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista – have, and we can now add Pom Klementieff to the list.
Pom Klementieff will be known to MCU fans for playing Mantis in Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, a role that launched her into stardom.

The Marvel-to-dc pipeline appears to be heating up as Pom Klementieff teases her next super role.
While appearing at San Antonio’s Superhero Comic Con, the French actress revealed she’s “been talking” to DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn about joining the Dcu after first working together on the MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).
When asked what character she’d like to play in the newly rebooted cinematic universe, Agents of Fandom reported that Klementieff responded, “Do you really think I’m going to answer this question?”
“I just want to keep working with James, so we’re going to keep trying to find ways to do that,” she added. “Yes, we’ve been talking about one specific character, but I can’t talk about that right now.”
She stars in the MCU as Mantis, having also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022).

If you were casting a movie about an alien invasion of Earth, who would play the human hero? One of our musclebound action stars, like Dave Bautista or Jason Statham? A magazine-cover beauty like Zendaya or Anya Taylor-Joy? Whatever script you’re working with, it’s unlikely you’d be on the lookout for a mustachioed, soft-spoken, fortysomething man to play a city bureaucrat gradually convinced that everyone around him is being replaced with soulless clones, but it’s this performance by the late Donald Sutherland that makes Invasion of the Body Snatchers...

Five years ago, Austin Butler’s memorable supporting role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood turned out to be his audition for leading man status, and he’s since become not only a leader on set but a leader on Hollywood’s new A-list.
Coming off of Apple TV+’s Masters of the Air and a villainous role in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, Butler is now back on the big screen in Jeff Nichols’ long-awaited 1960s crime drama, The Bikeriders. And while Butler led the star-studded ensemble alongside Jodie Comer, he plays a character named Benny who absolutely refuses to take the reins of his Chicago-area motorcycle club as it loses its way into organized crime. Inspired by Danny Lyon’s photojournalistic book of the same name, Butler’s real-life character was one of the few who wasn’t interviewed for the book nor...

In the magnetic universe of Hollywood, directors are obsessed with providing the audience with a real-time experience on screen. From different universes to blood-feeding creatures, filmmakers have used CG to create everything and anything. However, for some directors, the narrative is totally different; for them, practicality is above everything else.
In this list, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 2 stand the tallest. Considering the box office success of these films, the directors clearly had a vision when they attempted to create stunning sets without using green screens.

Latency star Alexis Ren knows full well the perception that comes with a social media star making the jump to acting. It provokes the same skeptics that countless athletes, musicians and professional wrestlers had to endure when they first embarked on their own film and television careers in decades past. But, by keeping an open mind, we now have a long list of crossover performers that we���ll forever embrace on the big and small screen. In Ren’s case, she has the utmost respect for the craft of acting, so she started educating herself back in 2018, all in an effort to earn the same kind of acceptance that Mark Wahlberg, Lady Gaga and Dave Bautista once sought and received from the audience.
However, the news didn’t go over well at first with Ren’s sprawling social media following of 25-plus million people.

Since taking over the reins of the IP from their father Albert R. Broccoli in ’95, half-siblings Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have been responsible for some of the best entries in the franchise. From sticking with Daniel Craig as 007, despite the initial backlash, to reforming the franchise’s female characters, they have been successful in translating Ian Fleming’s work into the modern day.
While the search for the next James Bond is yet to end, for their work on the IP over the past three decades, the Bond Producers are now set to be honored with the Honorary Oscars.

The series of murder mysteries that began with the 2019 film Knives Out and continued with the 2022 film Glass Onion is set to keep on going with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which has writer/director Rian Johnson back at the helm. Johnson and his collaborators are being very secretive about this project right now, but there’s a lot of hype for it – so we figured this would be a good time to start assembling a list of Everything We Know About Wake Up Dead Man. Here we go:

Johnson got the title Knives Out from a Radiohead song. When it came time to make the sequel Glass Onion, he got the title from a song by The Beatles. So it’s only fitting that the third film in the franchise have a song-inspired title as well. But while Radiohead and The Beatles were from England,...

My Spy was a fun family comedy that landed on Amazon Prime in 2020 after being delayed by the events of that year. It also made the cover of one of our junior magazines too. It was the third most watched streaming film of the year after Hamilton on Disney+ and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm on Prime Video.
Following in the footsteps of similar ‘tough guy action star does a family comedy’ – a surprisingly crowded subgenre with the likes of Vin Diesel in The Pacifier, Jackie Chan in The Spy Next Door and Hulk Hogan in Mr Nanny – My Spy followed Dave Bautista as CIA operative JJ, who is assigned to keep watch on a family and is soon discovered by their precocious nine year old daughter, Sophie, played by Chloe Coleman.

Known for his intense portrayal of the character, the British actor brought a new dimension to the iconic role.

My Spy The Eternal City Trailer has Dave Bautista chaperone his step-daughter with her class in Rome
Dave Bautista tried his hand at the family comedy sub-genre where tough guys take care of children in the 2020 film My Spy. That film joined the likes of Kindergarten Cop, The Nanny, The Pacifier, The Game Plan and The Chaperone. My Spy would become Prime Video’s third most-watched streaming title of 2020, so a sequel would definitely be in the books. Wait no further as Amazon MGM releases the trailer for My Spy The Eternal City (the title does not include a colon punctuation). The film is set to hit home screens on July 18.

Back by popular demand, My Spy's amusing dynamic duo, veteran CIA operative JJ and his 14-year-old stepdaughter and protégé Sophie, reunite to save the world when a high school choir tour of Italy is interrupted by a nefarious nuclear plot targeting the Vatican. Dave Bautista & Chloe Coleman are back as JJ and Sophie, respectively. Returning stars Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal are joined in this sequel by Anna Faris, Craig Robinson, and Flula Borg in this international action comedy from director Pete Segal.
