Amazon in Talks to Assemble “Voltron” Movie With “Red Notice” Director Rawson Marshall Thurber

Looks like Amazon is about to assemble Voltron. If you were a child in the 1980s and loved your cartoons, then you likely remember the beloved anime series Voltron: Defender of the Universe, which featured the five young pilots of the Robot Lion battalion whose vehicles were capable of assembling into a massive robot called Voltron. Now, a live-action adaptation of the series is in the works.

Variety reports that Red Notice director Rawson Marshall Thurber is attached to direct a live-action feature adaptation of the classic 1980s anime for Amazon after the package generated plenty of interest from streamers and studios.

Watch “The Batman” Gotham Subway Fight

Now that Matt Reeves’ The Batman is streaming on HBO Max, we’re getting some very juicy clips—and the entire opening scene—to show those who may have missed out on the epic reboot in the theater what’s available to them in their home. That opening sequence is a doozy, plunging us into Reeves’ twisted noir vision of Gotham, and presenting the Riddler (Paul Dano) in all his psychopathic intensity. It’s a bravura 10-minute long masterclass in tension and world-building and sets the rest of The Batman up as a street-level detective story unlike any previous film in the franchise.

“Thor: Love and Thunder” Synopsis Reveals Natalie Portman’s Mighty Thor & Christian Bale’s Brutal Villain Gorr

We have, at long last, seen the first teaser for Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder and now have the official synopsis, revealing the insanity that Waititi has been promising since he first finished the script he co-wrote with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The teaser had some of the greatest goofball energy we’ve felt since Thor (Chris Hemsworth) showed up in Avengers: Endgame looking like Jeff Lebowski.

Incredibly,

Paramount Makes Nickelodeon Content Free For Ukrainian Refugees in Europe

There are many ways to help Ukrainians in their ongoing time of need, from donating to charities like the World Food Programme, Share The Meal and many, many more (for a list of charitable organizations, this is a good place to start).

First “Thor: Love and Thunder” Teaser Reveals the God of Thunder’s Groovy New Path

“These hands were once used for battle,” Thor (Chris Hemsworth, of course) says at the top of the first Thor: Love and Thunder teaser, the long-awaited peek at writer/director Taika Waititi’s sequel to his smashing 2018 Thor: Ragnarok. “Now, they’re but humble tools for peace.”

This absurd opening verbal riff, in keeping with Waititi’s brilliant transformation of the Thor franchise from a dark sci-fi saga into a candy-colored,

“The Batman” Arrives on HBO Max After Crossing Major Box Office Milestone

The Batman was a deeply satisfying, passionately made blockbuster that felt like a street-level detective story at the same time. The film managed to capture critical acclaim, box office success, and, launch a new Batman franchise with a slew of fresh faces who were excellent in their roles. Robert Pattinson as Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, and Colin Farrell as the Penguin all signal a bright (well, it’s Gotham, so dark) future for DC’s most broodingly iconic superhero and his Gallery of Rogues.

Jordan Peele’s New Movie “Nope” Deploys Steph Curry in Creepy New Promo

Who better to help you promote your new film than NBA living legend Steph Curry? The perennial All-Star knows a thing or two about performing miracles, but in Jordan Peele’s upcoming film Nope, the types of miracles on display are a whole lot less pleasing than swishing a half-court shot (which Curry has done multiple times). The 2-time NBA MVP, 3-time NBA champ, and 8-time NBA All-Star is not starring in Peele’s hotly-anticipated third directorial effort,

Dracula Movie “Renfield” Starring Nicolas Cage, Nicholas Hoult, & Awkwafina Wraps

We’ve only got about a year until Renfield hits theaters, but that’s no reason to wait getting excited for it.

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” Actress Stephanie Hsu on Landing the Role of a Lifetime

It’s very difficult to describe Everything Everywhere All At Once, the new genre-busting indie from writer/directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels. It’s a multiverse sci-fi brain twister, an action movie with Hong Kong-style fighting, and a moving family drama about a mother and daughter. It’s about existential dread, love lost and found, and, of course, the importance of paying your taxes correctly and on time. Michelle Yeoh is at her career-best as matriarch Evelyn Wang,

“The Batman” Blu-ray Includes More Joker, Penguin, & Catwoman

(The digital release is a mere few days away, as The Batman comes to HBO Max on April 18.)

Surprise! A Mysterious New David Lynch Project May Premiere at Cannes

Variety hits us with a big, thrilling scoop. According to two of their sources, there’s going to be a new David Lynch film—or something—coming to the Croisette this year, one that he shot without somehow alerting anyone in the media, and, starring Laura Dern (the size of her role is unknown) along with a few more Lynch regulars.

Epic New “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” Video Unleashes Marvel’s Phase 4

When director Sam Raimi boarded the Doctor Strange sequel In The Multiverse of Madness, excitement spread across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Dueling Wizards Highlight Final “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” Trailer

We’re just a few days away from the premiere of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbeldore, and a new trailer highlights the stakes. It’s going to take a team of wizards (and a Muggle) to take down the rising threat of Grindewald (Mads Mikkelsen) and his growing army of Muggle-hating wizards.
