]]>Unlike the original film, which centered on one couple, the new version of The Wedding Banquet will chronicle the complicated relationship between two pairs. Min’s relationship falls apart when his boyfriend Chris rejects his spontaneous marriage proposal so he turns to his friend Angela for help.
Angela agrees to marry Min after he accepts to pay for IVF treatments for her partner Liz in exchange for a green card. Everything’s going according to plan until Min’s grandmother makes a surprise trip from Seoul to throw them an extravagant Korean wedding banquet.
Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) will lead this project alongside Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars), Yuh-jung Youn (The Last Emperor), and Joan Chen (Minari).
The Wedding Banquet came out in 1993 as Ang Lee’s second film as a director and a part of his Father Knows Best trilogy. It received an Oscar nomination for the best foreign-language film and won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

]]>Plot details are being kept under wraps, but this film is being developed as the part of a trilogy, set in the same universe as 28 Days Later starring Cillian Murphy in his breakout role, which kicked off this franchise in 2002 and produced a sequel 28 Weeks Later.
Both films are set in the post-apocalyptic world where the release of a highly contagious virus has caused the breakdown of society and led to the emergence of zombie-like creatures.
Both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later featured an impressive cast of actors who went on to become huge stars, ranging from Murphy, Naomie Harris, and Christopher Eccleston to Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, and Idris Elba, and the third film will continue this trend.
Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes are attached to this project, which hails from director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland. Sony Pictures is plotting 28 Years Later as a part of a trilogy, and they’ve already tapped Nia DaCosta to direct the next film in the franchise.

In addition to Reynolds and Jackman in the titular roles, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Brianna Hildebrand will reprise their roles from the previous Deadpool movies. They’ll be joined by Emma Corrin, Matthew Macfadyen, and Jennifer Garner.
Deadpool & Wolverine is the first Deadpool film in the MCU, and its director Shawn Levy wanted it to shine a spotlight on both characters.
“It’s the third Deadpool movie, but it’s not Deadpool 3. It’s a different thing that’s very much Deadpool and Wolverine. And it’s not trying to copycat anything from the first two movies. They were awesome, but this is a two-hander character adventure,” he told Screen Rant.
Deadpool & Wolverine will be released on July 26, as a part of Phase Five of the MCU.

]]>The Movie Critic was supposed to be set in 1977 California and center on the cynical movie critic who used to write for an adult magazine. This film was supposed to reunite Tarantino with Brad Pitt, the star of Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in addition to starring several actors from the director’s previous films.
Despite being one of the buzziest new projects on the block, The Movie Critic is no longer happening. Tarantino reportedly had a change of heart after rewriting the script and decided to scrap it entirely.
Whatever movie Tarantino decides to do next it will be his tenth and most likely final project since he’s been dropping hints about his potential retirement for years.
“I don’t believe you should stay onstage until people are begging you to get off. I like the idea of leaving them wanting a bit more. I do think directing is a young man’s game, and I like the idea of an umbilical cord connection from my first to my last movie,” he told Deadline in 2014.

Ariana Greenblatt, who most recently appeared in Barbie, will be a part of the film’s young cast, and she’ll be in pretty good company. Dominic Sessa, the breakout star of The Holdovers, and Justice Smith, who most recently appeared in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, have also been cast in major roles.
Now You See Me 3 will also mark the return of the all-star ensemble of this franchise, which includes Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo, and Morgan Freeman. Ruben Fleischer has been tapped to direct, while Eric Warren Singer, Seth Graham Smith, and Mike Lesslie wrote the script.

The first trailer sees them catching each other’s side for the first time, falling in love, and performing a series of elaborate dance numbers to the beat of “What the World Needs Now (Is Love Sweet Love)”.
Joker: Folie à Deux has often been classified as a musical, but its director Todd Phillips said this description is reductive, saying it’s “a movie where music is an essential element” instead.
“The first ways I described Arthur were as weird and aloof and distant, but he has music in him, he has a grace to him. That informed him a lot in the first film. It didn’t seem like that big of a step what we did here,” he said at CinemaCon in Las Vegas
Joker: Folie à Deux will be released on October 4, and its supporting cast includes Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, Steve Coogan, Ken Leung, and Harry Lawtey.
