Since the announcement of Ridley Scott‘s House of Gucci film, the Gucci family has been extremely vocal about the inaccuracies of the film. Variety has reported that the heirs of Aldo Gucci have issued an official statement, expressing that the family was “a bit disconcerted” about the claims made in the film. It continued, “The production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci — president of the company for 30 years [played by Al Pacino in the film] — and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them.” The statement went on to say that the film attributed “a tone and an attitude to the protagonists of the well-known events that never belonged to them.” The family also called the experience to be “extremely...

With the premiere of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 less than a year away, fans can supposedly expect a teaser to drop soon. The news was revealed by executive producer Amy Pascal who, despite not sharing specific details of the sequel, shared her excitement for the film. “It’s going to be fantastic,” she said. “We have something to show on that very soon.” “When I approached Chris and Phil about doing the Spider-Verse movies when I was still running Sony, I said, ‘Can you guys figure out how to do an animated Spider-Man movie?’” Pascal recalled. “And the first thing they said to me was, ‘Absolutely, if we do Spider-Verse and we do Miles.’ And I’m like, ‘Right on.’ Because of course, it is in the comics, but nobody could have done it better than them.” Stay tuned for more info. S...

Disney+ has released the latest teaser for The Book of Boba Fett, Lucasfilm‘s upcoming series that was first unveiled in the end-credit sequence following the season two finale of The Mandalorian. The 30-second visual teases the story of the bounty hunter’s survival after falling in the horrifying Sarlacc pit in Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi and the process of reviving the titular character in the aftermath. “I am Boba Fett,” a voiceover declares. “Left for dead on the sands of Tatooine.” The upcoming show “finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the Galaxy’s underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate,” according to Disney’s offic...

With the first season’s finale airing later today, the popular television horror series Chucky has just been renewed for a second season. While not much is known about what season two will entail, we do know that it’s slated to release sometime in 2022, though it’s unclear if it’ll remain on Syfy and USA Network. “We’re thrilled to start pulling the strings on a second season of puppet mayhem with Chucky,” said executive producer Don Mancini. “Many thanks to our partners at USA, Syfy and UCP for their incredible support and guidance bringing Chucky to the small screen, bigger than ever.

A Twitter user by the name of Dominic Kravitz has just revealed what could be further evidence that indicates that Tobey Maguire‘s Spider-Man is appearing in No Way Home. Sent with his BarkBox subscription service, the holiday-themed package came with one Spider-Man: No Way Home promo flyer which, when looked at closely, contained a Tobey Maguire Spider-Man costume in black and white. This could either be a QC issue or a pretty cool Easter egg, but either way, with Dr. Otto Octavius, Green Goblin, and Sandman all making a return, fans will most likely be disappointed if Maguire does not make an appearance — especially after all the secrecy surrounding the Spidey multiverse. Check out the tweet below to see the promotional packaging. Here’s a video of what I got in the bark box. Just ...

Merriam-Webster has officially uneiled its 2021 Word of the Year: “Vaccine.” The word was selected based on the lookup volume, the increase in interest in “Vaccine” as the year progressed and yearly increases in searches. ”Vaccine lookups increased 600%, and the story is about much more than medicine,” Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s Editor at Large, said in a statement. “It was at the center of debates about personal choice, political affiliation, professional regulations, school safety, healthcare inequity, and so much more. The biggest science event of the year quickly became the biggest political debate in our country, and the word at the center of both stories is vaccine. Few words can express so much about one moment in time.” The lookups of “Vaccine” increased on the websit...

In light of the massive success of Netflix‘s Hellbound, the series’ creator Yeon Sang-ho recently spoke to Variety about his past and upcoming projects, and of course, the Korean director talked about the future of Train to Busan. When asked if he has any plans for a third zombie live-action film following Train to Busan‘s sequel/spin-off Peninsula, the director revealed that he has indeed thought about where the story would go following the 2016 and 2020 blockbusters. “Personally, I do have some ideas in terms of further development of what happens after Peninsula. But as for whether I will create that into a film, it’s something that I do want to do.” As to what that third film might entail, Sang-ho said that it’d sit tonally between both its predecessors. “I would say tha...

There’s no question that Tony Leung‘s stellar portrayal of Wenwu in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was one of the most compelling aspects of the Marvel flick, but it now turns out that his character is more responsible for the creation of the Avengers than anyone would’ve imagined. As reported by Comicbook, a deleted scene from the recent movie showed Wenwu shortly after his wife Ying Li’s death, when he discussed his involvement with the Ten Rings division in Afghanistan and his meeting with Raza, the villain responsible for kidnapping Tony Stark during his trip to the Middle East. While Wenwu himself doesn’t specify if he was behind the kidnapping, he was nonetheless responsible for the terrorist group’s disruptive efforts in the region, which ultimately led to Tony ...
