Nicolas Cage is slated to play Dracula in Universal Pictures‘ upcoming monster film, Renfield, which centers on the infamous vampire’s fabled henchman. Directed by Chris McKay — the brain behind Amazon‘s The Tomorrow War and The Lego Batman Movie — Renfield will also star Nicholas Hoult as the titular character, which first originated in Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. The origin-story film is expected to take place in the present day, and it is unclear how much of the plot will align with the aforementioned source material. In Stoker’s thriller, Renfield was a patient in an asylum, where he was thought to be suffering from delusions that made him eat living creatures in search of immotality. It’s later revealed, however, that the character is controlled by Count Dracula. ...

According to reports, the streaming service confirmed the news during the Q&A portion of a Money Heist event in Madrid. Pedro Alonso will be reprising his role in the series, “It is a memorable moment because it is the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.

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...

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...
