A little over a year after the shelving of Batgirl sent shockwaves throughout Hollywood, Warner Bros. is putting another of its films in the studio vault.
Warners no longer plans to release Coyote vs. Acme, a live-action, CG animation hybrid that completed principal photography last year in New Mexico. The move follows veteran animation executive Bill Damaschke taking over Warner Animation Group earlier this year.
“For three years, I was lucky enough to make a movie about Wile E. Coyote, the most persistent, passionate, and resilient character of al time,” filmmaker Dave Green wrote on X after this story initially published. “I was surrounded by a brilliant team, who poured their souls into this project. … Along the ride, we were embraced by test audiences who rewarded us with fantastic scores.”
The feature, which sources believe cost around $72 million ot make, had key Warners talent involved in front of the camera and behind the scenes.

The Merc With a Mouth can speak again.
After a four-month suspension due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, “Deadpool 3” will head back into production before Thanksgiving, a source close to the production has confirmed to Variety.
The Marvel Studios project reunites Ryan Reynolds both with his “Free Guy” and “The Adam Project” director Shawn Levy, and with actor Hugh Jackman, who will reprise his performance as Wolverine for the 10th time.
The project is one of the most high profile movies that had to suspend filming due to the strike, placing its scheduled release on May 3, 2024, into question. (Reynolds posted to social media on Nov. 9 that the film is coming “Summer 2024.”)

Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock/Venom is no longer crashing the summer movie season, as Sony Pictures has pushed back the third “Venom” movie to Nov. 8, 2024.
The announcement came the same day that SAG-AFTRA approved a tentative deal to end the 118-day actors strike.
The third installment of the “Venom” series, which is untitled at this time, was originally set for a July 12, 2024, release date. Kelly Marcel, who wrote and produced the first two “Venom” movies, directs the upcoming superhero film from a screenplay she wrote. Marcel and Hardy developed “Venom 3’s” story and produce alongside Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal and Hutch Parker.
Hardy’s previous two comic book tentpoles, 2018’s “Venom” and 2021’s “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” both opened at the start of October. The first “Venom” film, directed by Ruben Fleischer, grossed $856 million at the worldwide box office, while the Andy Serkis-directed “Let...

Let’s-a go! “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” Universal and Illumination’s spring box office smash, is landing on Netflix in time for the holidays.
It will debut on the streaming service on Dec. 3, months after grossing $1.36 billion in global ticket sales. The animated adventure will still be available on Peacock, the platform owned by NBCUniversal, where it premiered in August. Universal struck a licensing deal to let “Mario” play on Netflix, which has far more subscribers than Peacock.
A collaboration between Universal, Illumination and Nintendo, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” became a four-quadrant hit and the first movie of the year to cross the $1 billion mark. (“Barbie” has since joined the club.) It’s the second-highest-grossing movie of the year behind “Barbie” ($1.44 billion) as well as the most successful video game adaptation of all time. It’s also the biggest movie ever from Illumination, the animation empire behind “Despicable Me” and its “Minion” spinoffs,...

The marketing for Disney and 20th Studios’ “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” got off to a strong start with 75 million views in 24 hours across platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, X/Twitter and more, Variety has learned. Social engagement for the trailer came in with 72,000 mentions in 24 hours, boosted by 11,000 TikTok comments and a top 10 trend on X. The studio launched a trailer tease the day before the official clip’s drop, and that earned 25 million views in 24 hours. All in all, “Kingdom” content earned a combined 100 million views during the film’s marketing launch period.
While the full “Kingdom” trailer debuted to a sturdy 75 million views in 24 hours, that number of course does not compete with such recent Disney blockbusters as “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (172 million views), “Avatar: The Way of Water” (148 million) and “The Little Mermaid” (104 million views).

When Family Matters first debuted on ABC in 1989 as part of their Friday night Tgif lineup, it was a far different series from the show it would become. It started as a spinoff to another Tgif series, Perfect Strangers, giving viewers a wholesome look at the Winslow family. It was a cute and funny enough series, but it quickly changed with the introduction of a character named Steve Urkel (Jaleel White), whose presence instantly changed the show. In no time, he became the star. While it helped Family Matters grow its audience, the overindulgence of Steve Urkel and the young actor playing him caused some hard feelings with the rest of the cast.

The greatest strength of the horror film genre is its ability to explore the universal and primal emotion of fear in a multitude of different ways. Unlike comedies and romance films that embrace the recognizable experiences of laughter and love through readily identifiable storytelling techniques, the horror genre’s vast scope allows it to not only explore what scares us and why, but to create a sense of hair-raising dread in just about anything. Even things as simple as a rubber tire or a children's story can become terrifying devices in the right hands. For many, the best horror stories are the ones that grant their audience a new perspective and insight into something that offers more to dread than what is initially seen on the surface. Enter director Damien Chazelle’s Academy Award-winning 2014 drama. Whiplash.

The strike may be over and actors are rapidly aiming to return to production, but Disney has still delayed the releases of its MCU titles intended for next year. As it stands, “Deadpool 3” is currently the only Marvel movie slated to open in 2024.
“Captain America: Brave New World,” and “Thunderbolts,” both intended for a release in 2024, will now open in 2025. “Blade,” meant to open early in 2025, now won’t hit theaters until November of that year. Barry Jenkins’ “Mufasa: The Lion King” has also been delayed on Disney’s theatrical release slate.
While “Deadpool 3’s” release date was widely assumed to have already moved, Disney has now made it official, currently leaving the first weekend of the summer wide open on the theatrical calendar. It now opens July 26, 2024.
“Captain America: Brave New World” will now move to February 14, 2025, “Thunderbolts” takes the July 25, 2025 slot, and “Blade” will release November 7, 2025.

With anime’s fall season having already kickstarted this October, November is a quieter time for the medium. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t great options to be thankful for this month.
For starters, this month brings the theatrical premiere of the most anticipated anime event of the year. “The Boy and the Heron” is Hayao Miyazaki’s newest film — and supposedly the master director’s last. The Studio Ghibli movie, named “How Do You Live?” in Japan, has been shrouded in secrecy due to its unusual Japanese release strategy in which no plot details or trailers were released ahead of launch. But the film, about a boy living in Japan during World War II who stumbles upon a window into a completely new world, received critical acclaim out of its North American TIFF premiere and is being hailed as one of the best films of the year.

By combining master lyricists, musicians, and animators, Disney has created hundreds of songs that resonate with audiences for generations. Everyone has their favorites, whether it's a showstopper like "Be Our Guest," a love ballad like "A Whole New World," or Cruella De Vil's villanous masterpiece.

It's no secret that the MCU has been under fire of late, with no shortage of issues keeping the Marvel/Disney executives up at night. The latest nightmare is The Marvels, with Deadline reporting that early box-office projections are not good, lower than the opening weekend of the much-derided Eternals. There are many reasons why the MCU has fallen from grace, many of which have been discussed at length at Collider. There is another reason, however, one that doesn't necessarily impact the MCU directly, but absolutely drives the narrative: the perceived notion that the MCU needs to have a major villain. And it's bollocks. The MCU doesn't need to have a major villain, and, in fact, may be better off moving away from the idea entirely.

Strike season is over! After 118 days, SAG-AFTRA finally reached a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers that would ensure that production can resume in the coming months. Although both sides were forced to make concessions, the effect of the strike on production windows, award season, and marketing underlined just how important protecting the rights of performers is. It’s easy to hear references to SAG and only think about Hollywood heavyweights like Ryan Reynolds or Emma Stone, but in reality, a majority of the members of SAG don’t get that type of media attention. The protections that these actors gained as a result of the latest round of negotiations should hopefully ensure that Hollywood productions are safer, more productive, and more creatively rewarding in the future. Here are all the major changes as a result of the new deal.

He stated, “In the good old days, when I made an animated movie, it took 500 artists five years to make a world-class animated movie. I think it won’t take 10% of that.

November is the month of thankfulness, so why not be thankful for some great independent cinema?
As the end of the year approaches, new films arrive in theaters at a rapid pace with big blockbusters, seasonal holiday films, and major Oscar contenders all vying for those juicy November and December slots. This month alone, some highly anticipated films include “American Fiction,” “Dream Scenario,” “Leave the World Behind,” “May December,” “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” “Napoleon,” and the Disney Film “Wish.” On streaming, new movies skew towards the seasonal holiday variet with mountains of Christmas rom-coms coming to Netflix for you to enjoy and/or dread. But there’s still plenty of classic films arriving on platforms this November — including great independent movies that have released as recently as 2014 and as far back as 1969.

Dinner scenes in movies really capture the essence of a film. They bring a family together or tear them apart, whether with the Berzattos from The Bear, The Rocky Horror Picture Show misfits celebrating Rocky's birthday, the Fockers getting together in Meet The Parents, or the lost boys from Hook. They make or break the characters and shed light on hidden feelings, some in better fashions than others. But which one is the best? You might not want to say this name three times, or there might be consequences. But let's give it a shot anyway. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Bee-cause you can't get enough of the possessed characters as they dance around the room singing Harry Belafonte's "Day-o (Banana Boat Song).

The SAG-AFTRA strike is over, and it only took four minutes and 46 seconds after the news broke to receive an interview pitch for an actor from a publicist.
That’s because strategists and publicists for the top movies from studios and streamers have been sitting on their hands, waiting for their actors to promote their films that are in the conversation for Oscar attention. The news of SAG-AFTRA making a deal rippled throughout the ecosystem of consultants hired to bring their clients and stars awards recognition.
Some independent productions and companies such as A24 and Neon were able to make do thanks to interim agreements for movies like Celine Song’s “Past Lives” and Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall.” However, the floodgates have now opened, and big-spending streamers like Apple and Netflix, alongside legacy studios like Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., will be trotting out their contending stars to face industry voters,...

A police officer in Sydney, Australia has pleaded guilty to “carrying a firearm with disregard” for a colleague’s safety after he threatened to shoot another police officer who said he would reveal spoilers from Tom Cruise’s blockbuster sequel “Top Gun: Maverick,” the Australian Broadcasting Company reports. According to court documents, 30-year-old cop Dominic Gaynor took out his gun and pointed it “in the vicinity” of fellow officer Morgan Royston after Royston threatened to spoil the film. Royston had seen “Top Gun: Maverick” the day prior.
The court documents reveal that Royston told Gaynor, “I’ll spoil it for you.” Gaynor responded by telling Royston, “Don’t spoil the movie” and “I’ll shoot you.” He proceeded to take his glock out of his holster and “held it stationary for five seconds” while pointing it at Royston.

After six months of strikes, the primetime cupboard is pretty bare. But after a fall filled with repeats, unscripted series and a smattering of stockpiled scripted episodes, the broadcast networks are racing to salvage the rest of the TV season — and that means a scramble to get episodes in place by the start of 2024.
It’s not as easy as flipping a light switch, of course. But now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, allowing for cameras to start rolling again, audiences may have some burning questions on what it all means. Here, Variety tackles some of them.
How long until film and TV shows get back up and running?
Now that actors can go back to work, there is nonetheless prep time that comes with getting a project back up and running. Sets need to be built, or rebuilt. Crew members, some of whom likely moved away during the lengthy production hiatus,...

The second annual BFI and Chanel Filmmaker Awards celebrated creative audacity at the tony Claridges Hotel in London on Thursday afternoon.
Emerging filmmakers writer/director Ella Glendining, writer/director Savanah Leaf and producer Nadira Murray were the recipients of this year’s award, selected by a jury panel comprised of BFI CEO Ben Roberts, actor Tilda Swinton, British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and Marie-Louise Khondji, the producer and founder of Le Cinéma Club.
Glendining is the talent behind feature doc “Is There Anybody Out There?” about her global search for someone with a body that looks like hers. Leaf wrote and directed “Earth Mama,” which focuses on a pregnant woman fighting to get custody of her two children while Murray produced “Winners,” about a nine-year-old Iranian boy seeking to reunite a lost statue with its owner.

More troubling news from the lot of Warner Bros. Discovery, folks. Ever since Discovery's acquisition of the legendary Hollywood studio as a part of WarnerMedia last year, the policies, decisions, and mandates coming from CEO David Zaslav have been increasingly zany to the max.
Zaslav's behavior has indeed hit the limit of WB's most honored citizens: the siblings Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, collectively known as the Animaniacs. At press time, it's being reported that they have emerged from their hibernation in the Warners' water tower and are prepared to do battle with Zaslav for the future of the studio.
As of this writing, Warner Bros. has decided to shelve the animated feature film "Coyote Vs. Acme," a movie that not only starred beloved wrestler-turned-actor John Cena, but featured a live-action/animated hybrid style that would seem to continue the tradition of prior WB hits such as "Space Jam," as...

Bob Iger, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, has a frank assessment of the current state of the MCU: they dropped the ball. In a refreshing mea culpa from the head of an entertainment conglomerate, Iger admitted that by increasing the movie output and the number of television series, Disney had stretched their creative personnel too thin, "taxing our people way beyond their time and their focus." But in assessing the cause of poor box office returns for recent MCU releases, Iger, for all intents and purposes, lays the blame at the feet of the Marvel television series, stating that they "diluted focus and attention, and that is more the cause than anything else."...

This article contains major spoilers for "The Marvels."
Whether you loved it (like I did) or hated it, the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Nia DaCosta's "The Marvels," is mandatory viewing for fans of the MCU. The film is the follow-up to not only James Gunn's conclusion of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" trilogy but also the Disney+ series "Secret Invasion," "Loki" season 2," and ... oh yeah, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" also came out this year, didn't it? More directly, "The Marvels" is the sequel to 2019's "Captain Marvel" as well as the Disney+ series "Ms. Marvel" and "WandaVision." I know, I know, that's an absurd amount of titles to precede a single film, but that's the MCU, baby!
The new film centers on Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Captain Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) as the trio must work together,...

Suits has met its match for the Nielsen top spot in Mike Flanagan’s latest offering The Fall of the House of Usher. The Netflix miniseries dropped on October 12 and drew 1.23 billion minutes viewed, which was just enough to shoot past Suits for the top spot for the week of October 9-15. For the same time period, the gothic horror drama came in second place on Netflix’s TV charts with 6M views, and in the following week, took the top spot there as well, meaning there’s a chance that it will maintain the top spot for another week on Nielsen charts too, according to Deadline.

SAG-AFTRA had settled dozens of issues, ranging from pension and health contributions, to page limits for self-taped auditions, to pay for background actors.
But there was still the small matter of zombies.
The union was worried that studios could use artificial intelligence to reanimate dead actors, or to create a digital Frankenstein out of the body parts of real actors.
Those were among the last deal points to fall into place before the union could end its 118-day strike on Wednesday.
In the end, SAG-AFTRA did not get every AI restriction it was looking for. But it did get most of it, including a requirement that if a Frankenstein actor contains recognizable features of real-life actors, studios must get permission from those actors.
“If you’re using Brad Pitt’s smile and Jennifer Aniston’s eyes, both would have a right of consent,” said Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the union’s chief negotiator.

Even though most people would agree that comedy is extremely hard to pull off, not enough discussion is given to how a myriad of details has to come off just right for a scene or gag to work. While many great comedies often put an expansive cast on-screen to escalate jokes, the Australian series Colin from Accounts goes in another direction, focusing its attention on just two characters most of the time – and it totally works.

If you thought “Batgirl” was the end of it, think again. Warner Bros. has shelved and will take a tax write-off on another completed film, this time a Looney Tunes live-action and animated movie called “Coyote vs. Acme” starring John Cena, IndieWire has confirmed. THR first reported the news.
Principal photography on “Coyote vs. Acme” was completed in New Mexico last year, and the film originally intended for streaming has a budget in the $70 million range. But Warner Bros. is deciding to not move forward with the movie and has already realized the tax savings in its Q3 earnings, which were reported yesterday.
Warner Bros. had no comment on the exact method by which the film is being shelved and written off or how much the studio stands to recoup, but Deadline is reporting that it is taking an estimated $30 million write-down, which the studio believes is more than the...

Director Greta Gerwig's Barbie was a box office hit, with many quotable lines, messages, and memorable scenes to talk about. In one scene, Margot Robbie's Barbie briefly meets an elderly woman at a bus stop. The way the movie comes to a pause suggests this woman is important, maybe not to the plot of the film, but perhaps to Barbie in general. It is the prime opportunity for a cameo, and yet the woman in question is not so recognizable. The obvious candidate would be Barbara Handler, the inspiration and namesake for the Barbie doll. While many speculated this was the case, the 82-year-old was not in fact selected for the role, with director Greta Gerwig going a different way.

Robert De Niro’s company Canal Productions was found to be liable in the gender discrimination trial brought by his former employee, Graham Chase Robinson, a jury ruled on Thursday. De Niro himself was not found to be liable. The jury ruled that Robinson should be awarded $1,264,285.72 by Canal for non-monetary and monetary damages.
Canal Productions was found liable on gender discrimination and retaliation and ordered to pay Robinson $632,142.86 on both counts.
Robinson was found to be not liable in the breach of fiduciary duty and loyalty while she was an employee at Canal. She originally sued De Niro and Canal for $12 million for gender discrimination and retaliation; she was countersued for $6 million for allegedly transferring thousands of dollars of sky miles to her own account and charging the company her personal food and travel expenses.
“We are delighted that the jury saw what we saw and returned a verdict...

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is one of the most beloved American animated shows ever. This is a show that voice actor Mark Hamill once considered "too smart" to be a success, yet it was not only successful enough to get three seasons, it also got a popular sequel series. "The Last Airbender" gave young audiences an anime-inspired show that told a serialized story while still having standout standalone episodes. It introduced kids to a vast and rich fantasy world with lore and history on the level of big franchises like "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings."
It also managed to end on its own terms, with a masterpiece of a series finale that paid off details planned from the very beginning, without giving fans a clean and overly explained ending.

Welcome back, one and all, to the latest episode of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Perhaps that should read "latest issue," given the way the McU's output so closely resembles the way Marvel Comics (and most ongoing superhero and non-superhero comics titles in general) tell a long, sprawling, and occasionally coherent story over numerous installments and a great number of years. In any case, the prospect of watching a new MCU movie has become increasingly more daunting than it used to be, with characters and continuity piling up like so much unfinished homework.
Fortunately, director and co-writer Nia DaCosta is a sturdy, responsible filmmaker, and thus her first foray into the MCU, "The Marvels," never allows itself to become too overcomplicated. While the film features the big-screen debuts of Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), who was introduced in "WandaVision," and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), who first premiered in her own series, "Ms. Marvel,...

Tom Ford is ready to return to the director’s chair, and this time, he’s focusing on original screenplays.
The “Nocturnal Animals” helmer told GQ that he in part stepped away from his iconic fashion career as a designer to instead focus on filmmaking.
“There are several reasons I sold my company,” Ford said. “I felt, after 35 years, I had said everything I could say with fashion. It’s important to know when to get off the stage. I loved making the two films that I made. That was the most fun I’ve ever had in my entire life.”
Ford directed “A Single Man” in 2009 and “Nocturnal Animals” in 2016, with both films being adaptations.
“I’m 62. Hopefully, I’ll remain somewhat together until 82. So I want to spend the next 20 years of my life making films,” Ford said. “And the clock is ticking. And so it was time to say goodbye to fashion.

John Wick continues to be the straw that stirs the drink at Lionsgate.
The home entertainment debut of the fourth film of the hit man series and the premiere of its streaming spin-off “The Continental” lifted revenues at Lionsgate to just over $1 billion, beating Wall Street’s estimates. That was up from $875.2 million in the prior-year quarter. However, the company also reported a net loss to Lionsgate shareholders of $886.2 million, which it attributed to restructuring costs and a writedown related to its decision to have its Starz business exit Latin America and the United Kingdom. The company didn’t spill as much red ink as it did in the prior-year quarter when it reported a loss of $1.181 billion. Adjusted net income was $48.6 million and there was an adjusted loss per share of $3.79.
The earnings report comes as Lionsgate is exploring selling or spinning off Starz, its cable and streaming business,...
