New Planet of the Apes Movies Planned at Disney, Will Be a Continuation of the Saga
The Planet of the Apes franchise isn't done yet, as it's been revealed that the series will continue under Disney's roof. Disney completed its $71.3 billion merger with Fox back in March, which brought with it the entirety of the movie studio 20th Century Fox. As such, Disney inherited a whole bunch of franchises and the fates of many of those franchises have remained up in the air for months. Details on this one are still a bit fuzzy, but we haven't seen the last of the Apes on screen just yet. It had previously been suggested at CinemaCon that Planet of the Apes was one of the franchises Disney intended to keep up with following the merger. However, a lot has changed since then. The majority of the movies that were produced by Fox, which are now being released by Disney, have failed to perform at the box office. Dark Phoenix, for example, is one of the biggest bombs of 2019, which helped lead to an underwhelming quarter for Disney, financially speaking. With that in mind, whatever … [Read more...] about New Planet of the Apes Movies Planned at Disney, Will Be a Continuation of the Saga

Ashutosh Gowarikar is all geared up for the release of his period drama, Panipat.

Panipat stars Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Sanjay Dutt, Mohnish Bahl, Padmini Kolhapure, Zeenat Aman and others. Recently, a descendent of the Maratha Peshwa raised objections to a certain dialogue shown in the film's trailer, which he thought is in bad taste. The descendent, Nawabzada Shadab Ali Bahadur is of the opinion that the dialogue presents Peshwa Baji Rao and his wife Mastani Bai in bad light. Ashutosh responded to this controversy saying, "Why are people not patient?" continuing, "It is a given that there will be questions when you make a historical film. If I was a descendant of a great warrior, I would want to know what is being written about or presented about my family member. However, at the same time, people should wait and be patient. I … [Read more...] about Ashutosh Gowarikar On Panipat Controversy: People Should Be Patient To See What Is In The Movie
Sundance 2017: ‘Casting JonBenet’ and the Age of True-Crime Entertainment

You could tell which Sundance audience members had shown up to the screenings of filmmaker Kitty Green’s movie expecting to see a true-crime vérité hot take: They were the ones whose heads were exploding.

She shot the auditions and numerous America’s Most Wanted-esque scenes of press conferences, corpse discoveries and … [Read more...] about Sundance 2017: ‘Casting JonBenet’ and the Age of True-Crime Entertainment

You could argue that most folks – or at least those who’d care enough to nab tickets to a documentary about the Grateful Dead – already know the band’s story backwards and forwards.

They’ll fill you in about the acid tests and how these gents becoming the San Francisco hippie scene’s poster boys. They’ll chart the path from psychedelic experimentalists to neo-Americana troubadours, road hogs to stadium juggernauts, cult band to corporate Rock Inc. entity to free-form jam cosmonauts.
