Moonlight director Barry Jenkins wants to do a James Bond spinoff movie about Moneypenny. The character is a fixture of the 007 franchise, with her significance and input having grown over the years from M’s receptionist, to a more prominent and informative member of MI6 in the recent films. In terms of willingness to change its approach and alter the style of its more traditional elements, the 007 series has never been one to steer clear of new concepts....

James Gray is closing a deal to direct I Am Pilgrim, a film adaptation of the spy thriller novel by Terry Hayes. The original book was published by Hayes in July of 2013 and MGM acquired the film rights almost exactly a year later. MGM thereafter set Matthew Vaughn to bring I Am Pilgrim to the big screen, but the filmmaker wound up tackling another spy franchise altogether in the form of Kingsman....

James Wan, creator of Saw, weighs in on a fan theory that connects Kevin McCallister and John Kramer from the Home Alone and Saw movies. The first two Home Alone movies are regarded as Christmas classics that show Kevin protecting himself from a pair of Burglars. The Saw franchise on the other hand, is a long-running horror series that focuses on people who are forced to play brutal games created by Kramer....

A dramatic turn in Jaws sees the shark eat a little boy named Alex Kintner, but in the original version of the scene, the child was devoured onscreen. Thanks to ridiculous B-movies like Sharknado, Sharktopus, and other movies starting with shark, the creature feature genre isn’t exactly in the highlight of its life. Of course, there are still gems like Crawl, and decently fun if underwhelming fare like The Meg, but it doesn’t seem like fans of giant rampaging beasts will ever get something on the level of Jaws again....

Jeff Goldblum is coming back to play fan favorite character Ian Malcolm in the action movie sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, but the actor has now confirmed it will only be a small appearance. Goldblum last played Malcolm in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, skipping out on 2001’s Jurassic Park III and 2015’s franchise reboot Jurassic World. Only minor performer B.D. Wong returned from the original Jurassic Park cast when the franchise was brought back to life for Jurassic World, which obviously didn’t miss the original actors, as it would go on to gross $1....

Bourne Legacy star Jeremy Renner says he is still game to do a sequel to the 2012 film which saw him briefly taking over as the lead of the Bourne franchise, before original series star Matt Damon decided to return for 2016’s Jason Bourne. Renner appeared in The Bourne Legacy as Aaron Cross, an agent of Outcome who is forced to go on the run after Jason Bourne’s actions lead to his program being shut down....

If you are an iOS 5 developer (or play one on TV), you may be interested in jailbreaking your iOS 5 devices (iPad 2s need not apply) so that you can build Notification widgets or something. The good news is that you have two different options. One is from @iH8sn0w who has released the snowbreeze 2.8b1 jailbreak for tethered iOS devices. That follows the Dev team, which released redsn0w 0.9.8b1 for Mac (Windows) on Friday....

Video game publisher and developer Ubisoft may not be too happy with Hollywood for how it adapted the Prince of Persia series to the big screen, leading them to finance their own future video game adaptations with the newly formed Ubisoft Motion Pictures, but they’re holding no grudges against the star of the movie. Jake Gyllenhaal will attempt to lead another big budget, high profile video game adaptation, this time based on the brand new hit IP Tom Clancy’s The Division....

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is reportedly being courted to write James Bond 26, following her efforts as a cowriter on next year’s No Time to Die. The news arrives hot on the heels of her multiple Emmy victories - including, Comedy Series, Lead Actress, and Writing - this past Sunday for the second season of Fleabag (the widely-acclaimed show based on her one-woman stage play of the same name). Waller-Bridge was officially confirmed as a writer on No Time to Die when the then-untitled Bond 25 began production in April....

Even in the alternate future of Mother Panic: Gotham A.D., no version of DC’s universe is safe when Jason Todd becomes the Batman. Especially not when Bruce Wayne isn’t around to help him into the role - meaning he’s a villain to be defeated in the series’ final issue. The crossover Milk Wars event between DC and its Young Animal imprint was too outrageous to sum up here, but the fallout paid off big time for the heroine mother Panic a....

In 1975, Steven Spielberg unwittingly created the summer blockbuster that changed the movie business forever with his movie Jaws. A suspense-filled, seafaring thriller that brought artistic filmmaking techniques and careful character development to a high-concept Hollywood production, Jaws has been praised as one of the greatest films ever made. From its everyman protagonist, Chief Martin Brody, to its Hitchcockian set pieces that limit the visibility of the shark, Jaws is filled with unforgettable moments....

A new rumor indicates that Jake Gyllenhaal may once again be in contention for the role of Batman, if Ben Affleck steps down, and this one isn’t surprising given that we’ve heard similar (more on this shortly). Conflicting reports and rumors about Affleck’s future as the Caped Crusader have cropped up this week, ahead of the theatrical release of the latest DC comic book movie, Justice League. For the time being, however, an official decision on the matter has yet to be made public as to not deter from Justice League’s launch....

James Bond would be nothing without his gadgets. It goes without saying that Bond would have died a thousand times over without a very specific gadget that Q gave him earlier in the movie (except for Daniel Craig’s Bond, though he is more monster than man). That being said, due to the fact that the Bond film franchise has been continuing since 1962, there are bound to be some awful gadgets to counterbalance the good gadgets....

Five Hollywood studios are currently engaged in a bidding war for the rights to the James Bond film franchise. The property had called Sony home for the better part of a decade, beginning when Daniel Craig took over the role of 007 in 2006’s Casino Royale. Their agreement with MGM and EON Productions expired following the release of Spectre in 2015, and since then Bond has been up for grabs. The series producers are hoping to move forward on the currently untitled Bond 25 soon (they already have screenwriters in place), but before the cameras start to roll, this matter has to be resolved....

As unlikely as it sounds, a Walker, Texas Ranger reboot starring Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki is really happening, and it’s going forward at The CW. When news of a Walker reboot starring Padalecki first broke late last month, the reaction was a bit incredulous, to say the least. For one, after 15 years on Supernatural, and appearances in the Friday the 13th and House of Wax remakes, Padalecki is primarily identified with the horror genre....

James Cameron is undoubtedly one of the most successful directors in recent times. His name is attached to the two highest grossing movies of all-time in Avatar and Titanic, but be also directed Aliens - one of the best sequels of all-time in most people’s eyes. Still, one of the other properties he is most known for and the one that kickstarted his career is Terminator. Cameron launched the franchise in 1984 and later followed it up in 1991 with Terminator 2: Judgement Day, but the franchise has stumbled without his guidance since then....

A slew of familiar faces have been announced as honorees for the upcoming Disney Legends Awards ceremony at D23 Expo this year, including James Earl Jones and Jon Favreau. The bi-annual event is set to begin a full month after San Diego Comic-Con, and will likely be showing off footage for the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, amongst other live-action and animated features on their slate. Considering the content that Disney now owns, especially after their studio’s deal with Fox, the event will more than likely attract a much larger audience than SDCC....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 writer/director James Gunn says that he wrote the movie’s script without any instructions from Marvel Studios, and that Nebula’s ending just happened to fit well for Avengers: Infinity War. At the end of Guardians 2, Nebula declines an offer to join the team, instead declaring her intention to hunt down and kill Thanos - which neatly dovetails with the start of her arc in Infinity War....

Jamie Lee Curtis continues to have an extremely fascinating career. As the offspring of Hollywood royalty, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, Jamie Lee rose to superstardom after starring in the surprise horror-hit Halloween in 1978. Yet after becoming known as a generational scream queen in the late 70s and early 80s, Curtis also demonstrated her undeniable sense of humor in some of the most celebrated comedies of all time. As Curtis is set to show both her comedic and dramatic acumen in the new whodunit Knives Out, due in theaters November 27th, it’s time to assess her best work to date....
