The adaptation of the Just Cause video game franchise—which tragically has nothing to do with the 2005 crime thriller starring Laurence Fishburne and Sean Connery—has named Stuber filmmaker Mike Dowse as director. Deadline reports that Dowse has signed on to the project, which features a script by co-creator of the John Wick franchise, Derek Kolstad, as well as Constantin Film’s Robert Kulzer and Prime Universe Film’s Adrian Askarieh on board as producers. This is a project that's been in and out of development since at least 2017, back when Brad Peyton (Rampage) was attached …
Michael Dowse (Stuber, Netflix's Coffee and Kareem) will direct the feature film version of the Avalanche Studios-Square Enix video game franchise Just Cause.
This love letter to '80s action comedies is full of references.
If there is one thing which remains very certain in these otherwise uncertain times, it's the fact that Kumail Nanjiani can still find a way to make us smile. Over the weekend, the actor made a solid joke at his own expense related to his 2019 comedy Stuber. The self-roast came amidst increased concerns of the growing global coronavirus pandemic, which has shut down nearly every movie and TV show in production and kept Americans at home in order to prevent the spread of the virus. The public self-roasting began with a well-meaning tweet from Nanjiani …
The new Blu-ray of Stuber only has about four deleted scenes and they total only about five minutes, but I wanted to draw attention to them because I appreciate that director Michael Dowse and star Kumail Nanjiani were willing to point out why a scene was left on the cutting room floor. Too often with a deleted scene, the common refrain from the commenter (assuming one is even included) is that all the stuff was great, there was just no time for it. Dowse and Nanjiani are fully willing to admit why certain scenes didn’t work, and I …
While not getting the best critical reception, Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani's Stuber is still jam-packed with funny and memorable moments.
He loved working with The Raid's Iko Uwais.
As far as box office totals are concerned, the second weekend of July was won by a web-slinging teenager and a toy cowboy. Spider-Man: Far From Home has earned $45 million domestically over the course of the weekend, bringing its to-date total up to $274.5 million. Even more jaw-dropping is its worldwide total, which comes to over $847 million with the help of a foreign box office total of $572.5 million. This is Far From Home's second week in theaters which means the superhero sequel has a high likelihood of crossing the $1 …
Spider-Man: Far From Home is still top dog at the box office during its second week in theaters. Fans are clearly still very keen to see how Peter Parker's (Tom Holland) story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues. Far From Home pulled in more than $13 million domestically on Friday, proving its July 4th totals weren't a fluke but rather, the start of a successful theatrical run. With Friday, July 12 under its belt, Far From Home now has made more than $242 million domestically and currently sits at $635.2 million worldwide. Toy Story 4 is …
Do you even lift? Kumail Nanjiani does.
Action comedy Stuber, starring Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista, opens this week to mostly negative reviews. Here's why it failed to impress critics.
Stuber wears the look of a throwback buddy comedy. Its stars are a mismatched duo who are hilarious together as they’re thrown together in a relatively small-stakes action narrative that has them in shootouts and car chases. What makes Stuber modern and gives Michael Dowse’s movie its edge is how it provides conflicting examples of masculinity and looks for the middle ground between them. The comedy and the action still come first, but Stuber goes one step further by questioning both machismo and timidity in its male characters to find how both sides are flawed and that …
Stuber is an action comedy starring Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista, but does it include an end-credits scene setting up a potential sequel?
Stuber reaches its destination, but the journey is far from memorable and mostly underwhelming.
After a big week with a Marvel movie hitting the big screen, things tend to quiet down a bit - and this week is a perfect example following Spider-Man: Far From Home.
