Almost-forever CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, is stepping down this week and new leadership is filling in the vacuum. After Wall Street moguls helped guide the company towards picking Josh D'Amaro as his replacement, they also sought to quell possible...
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Gladiator 2 actor Paul Mescal might have given the most unintentionally revealing quote of the week when commenting on Hollywood and the “alpha male” characters that once defined it. While promoting The History of Sound, a period romance between two men in which Mescal stars alongside Josh O’Connor, the Irish actor confidently proclaimed that cinema is “moving away from the traditional, alpha, leading male characters.”
An image circulating online this week has left fans scratching their heads and critics raising eyebrows. It’s an embargo notice for Ballerina, the upcoming Lionsgate John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas, and it has one baffling clause: you can start posting your “spoiler-free enthusiasm” on May 22nd—but if your reaction isn’t positive, you’re not allowed to say anything at all until June 4, two days before the movie releases.
Rian Johnson has finally spoken out about the long-disappeared Star Wars trilogy he was supposed to helm after directing the much reviled Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.
And his explanation? He just really, really got into directing mysteries…
Once upon a time, a long-running and highly successful TV sitcom featured one of its popular leather-jacketed characters quite literally jumping over a shark at sea and a new expression was born in medialand. “Jumping The Shark” meant taking a process/idea/concept/plot/series one step beyond the most strained artistic rationality and was symbolic of the end of any further worthwhile creative endeavor and a signal that it was time to do something else.
Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World is saying goodbye to Muppetvision 3-D after June 7th. To fill the missing attraction, Disney is opening a Villain's show in the theater where Lightning McQueen Racing was vacated earlier. Yes, that's two shows gone and...
Pedro Pascal was recently seen on video dancing suggestively and seemingly simulating licking a rainbow colored rod.
Pedro Pascal may be the most in-demand actor in Hollywood right now (for studios…not audiences…) — but his recent behavior is raising eyebrows for all the wrong reasons.
Pedro Pascal stood in front of the international press at Cannes, dropped an F-bomb on political opponents in the United States, promoted a film that vilifies conservatives, and walked away with applause and headlines. Meanwhile, Gina Carano — who said far less, without profanity or attacks — remains blacklisted from Hollywood, forced to take her fight to court.
Disney CEO-Of-The-Near-Future Josh D’Amaro, currently in charge of the company’s only money-making division (albeit less and less of it all the time) involved with “Experiences” is an experienced man, business man, and manager. So he’s got to know an age-old adage we’ve all heard since childhood: “You can’t get blood out of a turnip.”
Jimmy Kimmel, the long-standing host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, has recently hinted that he may not renew his contract with ABC when it expires in 2026. Now more signs are pointing to a future at ABC that doesn't feature Jimmy as a late night host. In a February 2024...
Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, made headlines this week for expressing supreme confidence in Walt Disney World’s staying power — even in the face of the most ambitious theme park expansion in decades: Universal’s Epic Universe.
But as much as D’Amaro wants to spin the competition as a benefit, reality suggests otherwise. With Universal preparing to shake up the Orlando tourism market in 2025, Disney may be standing at the edge of a cliff while pretending it’s just another ride.
In what may go down as one of the most unfortunate scheduling blunders in recent superhero marketing, Marvel Studios released the trailer for Ironheart—a show that has already faced major delays and skepticism. Just three hours later, DC unveiled James Gunn’s trailer for Superman, offering fans a grounded, traditional take on the Man of Steel that’s not without its detractors.
Lucasfilm may still be waving the James Mangold flag when it comes to his announced Star Wars movie Dawn of the Jedi, but a closer look at the director’s recent moves reveals a very different story. While Disney continues to promote the origin-of-the-Force film as a pillar of the franchise’s future, Mangold appears to be everywhere except a galaxy far, far away.
