Daniel Radcliffe has asked journalists and fans not to inundate the cast of the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series with questions about him and his former co-stars. He made the request during an interview about the production’s early reception and public response. In...
The Walt Disney Company CEO, Bob Chapek, has released a memorandum to all his employees... something that is essentially a public relations release given that the "pillars of success" outlined are vague and not something which most employees can enact. That Park Place...
Methinks that Disney is trying to shield its stock price from another box office flop. Either that or the company is worried about "Seeing Red", the latest film from Pixar, somehow being tied to China in a way akin to how Mulan created "issues". Whatever the reason,...
You wouldn't know this if you perused almost any entertainment site out there, but there is a cultural revolution in streaming and movies right now. Two properties are dominating everything out there. It isn't The Witcher or The Book of Boba Fett. They're like little...
