Tarantino thought about doing a Star Trek movie, and it sounds pretty wild.
Freaky and It's a Wonderful Knife screenwriter Michael Kennedy pitched an epic horror movie crossover!
Netflix is working on a Terminator anime series with the Japanese studio behind Psycho-Pass and Ghost in the Shell.
In an age rampant with sequels, prequels, and the importance of franchised IP, Back to the Future remains untouched. Back to the Future Part III hit theaters in 1990, and since then, that’s been the end of the series. Fans have always wondered about why there wouldn’t be another installment when every other beloved franchises seems to keep going back to the well, so on The Collider Podcast, we asked our guest, Back to the Future trilogy co-writer Bob Gale, why exactly there won’t be a Back to the Future 4.

This would have been excellent.
One of the rare positive aspects of our current quarantine situation is the way Animal Crossing: New Horizons has emerged as a way to keep sane. The game is pretty much engineered to be pleasantly low-stress, allowing players the opportunity to just kind of mozie about an open world selling turnips, remodeling their homes, or, if you're Rogue One: A Star Wars Story co-writer Gary Whitta, launching your very own late-night talk show within the game, titled Animal Talking. Animal Crossing is very uncomfortably Black Mirror-ish to me in a way I can't quite …
It makes sense when you think about it.
Feb10 Scott Derrickson “Never Had the Opportunity” to Write ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Draft, Says Co-Writer
Feb

Pre-production on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been both strange and filled with madness so far, so A+ for accuracy. The hullabaloo began when Scott Derrickson exited the director's chair over "creative differences" with Marvel, which was a bummer because Derrickson is a seriously talented filmmaker, brought Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) into the MCU back in 2016, and was hinting at a more horror-focused sequel. But then Sam Raimi was announced as Derrickson's likely replacement, which was decidedly not a bummer because he's Sam goddamned Raimi. The assumption at the time was …
We've seen The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Aladdin in theatres. We've seen The Lady and the Tramp on Disney+. And we've got Mulan, The Little Mermaid, and as of today, Pinocchio forthcoming. Yep, when it comes to the Disney creative slate, the modus operandi seems to be: Remake all the stuff that worked before in live-action/photorealistic CGI! Adding to this trend? Bambi, which according to The Hollywood Reporter, is the next Disney vault classic to get the live-action remake treatment. [caption id="attachment_793732" align="alignright" width="350"] Image …
20th Century Fox's long-awaited Mega Man movie has found a new writer in Matt Tomlin, who is currently also working on the script for The Batman.
Spoilers for 1917 follow below. A latecomer to this year’s awards race, filmmaker Sam Mendes’ one-shot World War I film 1917 racked up 10 Oscar nominations earlier this week, including Best Picture, Director, and Original Screenplay. The honors were well-deserved as the film is a technical marvel that also serves as a visceral, triumphant tribute to the lives lost during the Great War. But one nomination 1917 didn’t receive is Best Film Editing. You may think recognition in that category doesn’t track with a film presented entirely in a single shot, but in truth a …
Spoilers for 1917 follow below. The World War I drama 1917 is not your typical war film. First off, the movie plays out entirely in real-time as if it’s contained in a single shot. Obviously, given the pyrotechnics involved and various location changes, it’s not all actually one shot, but making it all appear as though it’s one shot was no easy task. It challenged all involved, including director Sam Mendes, cinematographer Roger Deakins, and co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns. But 1917 is also unique in that, because it plays out in real-time, there are …
How does one go about writing a movie that plays out in a single shot? And how does that differ from writing a traditional film script? Greatly, according to 1917 co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns. The up-and-coming writer had worked on two projects with Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes that never came to fruition before the Skyfall filmmaker called her up one day and pitched her 1917. Inspired by stories from his grandfather, the film would follow a soldier through his experiences in World War I, and would be incredibly personal and character-driven. Oh, and it would …
Spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. At the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, we see Rey encounter the Force Ghosts of Luke and Leia, which inspires her to take the last name of “Skywalker.” It makes sense why she would see those ghosts since Luke and Leia played such strong roles in mentoring her and they were strong with the Force. But why not other figures like Anakin Skywalker or Ben Solo? Speaking THR, co-writer Chris Terrio explains that they wanted to bring the twins home, but since Alderaan was destroyed, they chose …
Minor spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. If you were a fan of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, you were probably bummed to see that Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) is barely in The Rise of Skywalker. A major character in the previous film, Rose now has about as much to do as an unnamed Resistance technician played by Dominic Monaghan. So what happened? Why did writers J.J. Abrams and Chris Terrio severely diminish Rose’s role? According to Terrio, that wasn’t their intent and they were hampered by technical difficulties. Speaking to Awards Daily […
