Tenet: Could Christopher Nolan’s Movie Leave the U.S. Behind?

New DVD releasebehind, christopher, could, leave, movie, nolan, tenet

Christopher Nolan’s Tenet is delayed. Again. In a media narrative that’s depressingly familiar during the coronavirus pandemic, a major blockbuster was forced to move once more when Warner Bros. pushed Tenet off its scheduled Aug. 12 release to dates unknown. This was, of course, the responsible choice due to the recent skyrocketing of COVID-19 infection rates in the United States. But it also marks the third time Nolan and WB were thwarted in reviving the theatrical moviegoing experience. Yet despite the seeming inevitability of major studios abandoning movie theaters for potentially the rest of 2020, Warner Bros. has signaled it…

Secret Wars Could Tempt Russo Brothers Back to Marvel Cinematic Universe

New DVD releasebrothers, cinematic, could, marvel, russo, secret, tempt

Joe and Anthony Russo somehow managed to pull off the biggest movie crossover of all time when they wrapped up 22 Marvel movies with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Loosely based on the Infinity saga from the comics, they represent not just a culmination of a decade’s worth of Marvel stories on screen, but also the most sweeping, epic comic story ever brought to the big screen (DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths was adapted for television).  And then the Russos walked away. But in an interview with Brobible, they talked about the one comics adaptation that could bring them…

Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind Directors Talk Epic and Intimate Musical Moments

New DVD releasecould, directors, gordon, intimate, lightfoot, moments, musical

The documentary Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind, directed by Martha Kehoe and Joan Tosoni, is an intimate look at a prolific singer-songwriter who enriches and is enriched by the history of Canada. Most of the world knows Lightfoot as the singer with the recognizable baritone who put out hits like “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” and “Early Mornin’ Rain.” But in his native country, he is a national treasure. Before international fame, in 1967, he actually wrote and performed a piece called “The Tale of Canada” for the country’s 100th anniversary. After worldwide renown, he…

How Star Wars: The Bad Batch Could Continue Echo’s Story from The Clone Wars

New DVD releasebatch, clone, continue, could, story

This Star Wars article contains spoilers. The Clone Wars has had a long life. From its debut in 2008 to its conclusion in 2020, the animated series expanded the Star Wars Prequel era with fewer jokes and more of the titular war. And while the final season just bowed on Disney+ earlier this year, it won’t be the last time we see of some of the show’s characters. Disney has greenlit a spin-off series starring Clone Force 99, the squad of genetically enhanced clone troopers that was first introduced in season seven. The Bad Batch follows five clones in the…

I May Destroy You: a Bold Show Only a Survivor Could Write

New DVD releasecould, destroy, survivor, write

Warning: contains spoilers for the I May Destroy You finale Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You is a tour de force creation of laser-focused storytelling. A creator working at the current height (but clearly not yet the apex) of her power, Coel’s take on trauma and consent is the kind of prestige exploration that only a survivor could write. The series starts with Coel’s pitch-perfect take on the nuts and bolts of trauma, from the intrusive thoughts and sarcasm toward art therapy to the ringing we hear when main character Arabella is triggered to Arabella downplaying her own trauma by…

He may never play Birdman again, but new reports from THR and The Wrap claim that Michael Keaton may be set to reprise his role as Batman. Both outlets report that Keaton is in early talks to return as an older version of the hero in Warner Bros’ upcoming Flash movie and that the deal could extend to other DC films.

According to THR, if all goes as planned, Keaton could be set to fill…

How Shifting MCU Release Dates Could Impact Spider-Man 3

New DVD releasecould, dates, impact, release, shifting, spider

As reported earlier today, Marvel Studios and its parent company Disney unveiled a slew of new release dates for upcoming films, primarily the next seven theatrical entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not surprisingly, the interconnected nature of the MCU means that one release date change has a domino effect on the rest of the slate. So as Black Widow moves from May 2020 to November, then Eternals moves from November to February 2021 and so on (all the details are at the link above). But there is one outlier in all this: the third Spider-Man adventure starring Tom Holland…

Could Onward Soon Be on Disney Plus Streaming?

New DVD releasecould, disney, onward, streaming

What a difference a week can make. Less than two Sundays ago, the conversation around Disney and Pixar’s Onward was about how the film opened in first place at the box office with $39.1 million—an okay if somewhat disappointing number for a Pixar movie. Still, it was a much more upbeat story than seven days later when it was number one again… and saw a stunning 73 percent drop-off between weekends. Of course what happened in between was realistic anxiety about the coronavirus outbreak finally taking hold in North America while the World Health Organization declared the crisis to be…

Could Black Widow Premiere on Disney Plus?

On Tuesday morning (March 17), Disney finally announced that its next Marvel Studios tentpole, Black Widow, was being moved off its May 1 arrival to an indefinite release date later in the year. The news was hardly shocking at this point: with the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all major theater chains in North America — as well as many worldwide — have shut their doors for anywhere from six to 12 weeks, which effectively sealed the Widow’s fate regardless of the Mouse’s decision. Since it’s difficult to predict how long this crisis will continue before the virus…
