Fans have been curious aboutJames Cameron’sAvatarsequelssince before the firstAvatareven came out. Fresh off of the success ofTitanic, Cameron was teasing a potential trilogy ofAvatarmovies in the mid-2000s, while he was knee-deep in creating the technology that would not only bringAvatarto life, but boost the film to become the highest grossing movie ever made. As we now know, those plans changed afterAvatarwas released, and there are now a whopping fourAvatarsequels on the way....

WithJohn Wick: Chapter 2now in theaters, I recently got to sit down with producerBasilIwanykfor an exclusive video interview. He explained how the sequel came together, how they never expected they’d ever make a sequel when filming the first one, how they had a lot of big name actors that wanted to be inJohn Wick 2,if they’re already thinking aboutJohn Wick 3, the amazing stair sequence which was done without CGI, and a lot more....

What do you do when you want to make a movie, but don’t have any of the traditional resources to make a movie? You make the fucking movie anyway. Robert Rodriguez, born in Texas in 1968, loved cinema from a young age. The moment he could, he grabbed a camera and filmed everything he could in precociously cinematic style (it would be fair to call Rodriguez one of the chief “video store” auteurs; a director who got his style not from formal training, but from absorbing movie after movie after movie)....

What are the odds? There is literally nothing to complain about when it comes to the awards handed out tonight. Well…exceptFargoSeason 2 being snubbed entirely, but you have to admit the competition was fierce. And that’s the theme of the night (along with genuine, celebrated diversity that puts the Oscars to shame)....

It’s Oscar season, so it’s time to pay homage to two of the several categories that often don’t get as much attention as they should: Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay. The screenplay is the first step toward making the film. Without a strong script, everything else about the movie—the directing, the acting, the costumes, the set design, the music—can only help so much. The list of films nominated for the 2024 Screenplay Oscars are almost allnominated for Best Pictureas well, which goes to show how integral the well-written screenplay is to the end product....

As tends to be the case when there’s no big opener to hang box office hopes on, this weekend at the multiplex is already looking odd.The Hitman’s Bodyguard, a by-the-numbers action-comedy notable only for its leads, will likely hold steady in the number one spot as it did yesterday, bringing in $3.1 million.Annabelle: Creationwill also likely remain in the second spot, where it took in $2.5 million on Friday, but after that, things are a bit shook-up currently....

Whatever the numbers happen to be by the time the weekend finishes, there will be no good news coming from this Labor Day weekend at thebox office. Last weekend was the worst box office weekend in 15 years, and even that had the bonus of at least one new release,Leap!, charting in the top five. This weekend won’t even have that minute accomplishment to hang its hat on, as neither the re-release ofClose Encounters of the Third Kindor the much-delayedTulip Feverlook to be garnering much interest from American audiences....
