Justice for Piggy! If you've ever read William Golding's classic novel Lord of the Flies (or skimmed enough Cliff's Notes to finish your high school paper), you know its darkly classic structure well: Kids get stranded on an island, kids try to retain a sense of sanity and society, kids quickly devolve into their inherent animalistic natures, kids kill each other moments before getting rescued. The book has been adapted twice before, and we're soon to get another from director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria). And now, per the Hollywood Reporter, this version …

The boys in the planes of Top Gun: Maverick, the upcoming sequel to the 1980s classic, fly fast. They fly so fast, in fact, that they've changed a major movie studios' understanding of the space-time continuum! Originally planned for release in June 26, Variety reports that the film will now be released June 24, giving it a Wednesday jump on the crowded summer blockbuster competition -- especially In the Heights, which comes out that Friday and is expected to be a big hit.

A new behind-the-scenes video from the upcoming Disney+ TV series Loki shows Tom Hiddleston training for a stunt in the series.

Late 2019 sure is shaping up to be a hell of a time to be a Star Wars fan. With the launch of Disney+ came the first live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian, which currently has everyone and their mother (and Werner Herzog) freaking out over Baby [Redacted]. And that's just the appetizer. Next month brings the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the Skywalker saga finale four decades in the making that sees the return of The Force Awakens director J.J Abrams. And if you know anything about the Disney marketing machine, you know …

The 1990 adaptation of Lord Of The Flies received mixed reviews but here's why it remains the most underrated version of the classic story.

It was a mixed bag of a weekend for Warner Bros. which saw It: Chapter Two deliver a strong hold and retain the weekend's #1 spot at the box office, but their new release, The Goldfinch, bombed, delivering one of the worst openings ever for a wide release. Alternatively, STXfilms's Hustlers exploded out of the gates with the studio's largest opening in its five year history as well as star Jennifer Lopez's largest live-action opening of all-time. With an estimated $40.7 million, WB and...

What if Lord of the Flies but with girls? Once upon a time, that was the premise of Warner Bros.' new adaptation of William Golding's 1954 novel about a group of British boys stranded on an uninhabited island and the societal fallout that ensues. Now it seems like the project might be going back to a more faithful rendition of the source story, though I still have my fingers crossed for a Lady of the Flies take. What is clear, however, is that filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Suspiria) is in talks to direct the pic. …

Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino enters talks to helm a new movie adaptation of William Golding's famous book, Lord of the Flies.

Someone paid more than $1,000 for a plane to fly 'Release the Snyder Cut' over Comic Con.

There's no shortage of Lord of the Flies inspired stories in film and TV, but you'll rarely see one as strange, focused, and disquieting as Ladyworld. Set at a sleepover that quickly turns into a post-apocalypse tinged survival story, Ladyworld finds a gang of mismatched teenage girls rapidly devolving into factionalized psychos when they get trapped underground after a mysterious natural disaster. I caught the film during its festival tour at Fantastic Fest last year, where it was met with a bit of a divided response. It's a super psychologically draining film that seems targetted to …

Yesterday, Booksmart director Olivia Wilde urged audiences to go see her film, noting that the film is "getting creamed by the big dogs out there." Now that the weekend tallies are in, it looks like Wilde—unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you feel about massive global entertainment monoliths—was right. Disney's live-action Aladdin, the newest of the aforementioned big dogs, took in $86 million over the weekend and is looking at $100 million+ for the four-day holiday frame. Aladdin was followed by three franchise films. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum nabbed another $24 million, crossing the $…

Oops, the teens went and did a dystopia again. If you're a fan of the YA genre, you've no doubt seen this story before: a group of teenagers stranded without the structures of adult society are forced to remake the world in their own image to survive. From William Golding's 1954 literary classic Lord of the Flies to The 100, The Woods, and so forth, there's no shortage of stories about youth confronting the perils of leadership. That overfamiliar quality might leave a wash of "meh" in viewers' mouths when they first turn to Netflix's …

Netflix has released a teaser trailer for their upcoming series The Society. Written by Chris Keyser (Tyrant) and directed by Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer), the upcoming series takes place in a world where a group of teenagers are mysterious transported to a facsimile of their wealthy New England town, but without any trace of their parents or other adults. Left to their own devices, everything is fun and games until their little society starts breaking down and they must learn how to survive. It’s not a bad spin on Lord of the Flies, although I think William …

Disney's Dumbo was unable to reach studio or industry expectations, but still managed a #1 finish, making for the third different #1 film at the domestic weekend box office in as many weeks. Meanwhile holdovers such as Us and Captain Marvel continued their strong performances and Pure Flix's release of the anti-abortion drama Unplanned managed to out-perform expectations and find itself a spot in the top five. With an estimated $45 million, Disney's Dumbo topped the weekend box office ...

In his last partnership with Lionsgate before shipping off to Paramount, Tyler Perry came so close to winning out the box office. But never underestimate those Toothless stans. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World topped the box office in its second weekend with $30 million, soaring past Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral's $27 million. It's not entirely terrible news for Perry and his long-running character. A Madea Family Funeral's debut haul is the fourth best in the ten-movie franchise, only landing behind Madea Goes to Jail ($41 million), Madea's Family … The post Weekend Box Office: ‘How to Train Your Dragon 3’ Flies Past ‘Madea’ with $30 Million appeared first on Collider.

In just over a week, Marvel Studio's Captain Marvel will arrive in theaters around the world, and there's nothing the haters can do about it. The MCU's first female-led superhero flick stars Brie Larson as badass ace pilot Carol Danvers who also happens to be the super-powered title hero. We've already seen Larson team up with members of the U.S. Air Force in order to more convincingly walk the walk and talk the talk, but a new promo video shows Larson soaring through the wild blue yonder in an F-16 for good …
