Relic Clip: These Moldy Walls House Dark Secrets

Relic Clip: These moldy walls house dark secrets

IFC Films have debuted a new clip from the Sundance Film Festival horror darling Relic starring Emily Mortimer (Mary Poppins Returns) and Robyn Nevin (Top of the Lake) teasing the dark secrets the house’s moldy walls are hiding. The clip can be viewed in the player below!

Written and directed by Natalie Erika James in her feature debut, the film focused on elderly mother Edna as she inexplicably vanishes and sees her daughter Kay (Mortimer) and granddaugher Sam rush to their family’s decaying country home, finding clues of increasing dementia scattered around the house in her absence. After Edna returns just as mysteriously as she disappeared, Kay’s concern that her mother seems unwilling or unable to say where she’s been clashes with Sam’s unabashed enthusiasm to have her grandma back.

As Edna’s behavior turns increasingly volatile, both begin to sense that an insidious presence in the house might be taking control of her. All three generations of women are brought together through trauma and a powerful sense of strength and loyalty to face the ultimate fear together.

Alongside Mortimer, the film’s cast includes Robyn Nevin (Top of the Lake, The Eye of the Storm), Bella Heathcoate (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, Pieces of Her) and Jeremy Sanford (Satisfaction, Worst Year of My Life).

Relic is produced by Anna McLeish, Sarah Shaw, Jake Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker, with the Russo Brothers, Mike Larocca, Todd Makurath, Wang Zhonqiun, Wang Zhonglei and Hu Junyi all attached as executive producers. The film, which made its debut to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival in January, is set to hit select theaters, drive-ins and VOD and digital platforms on July 10!

X-Men Cast Reunion Crashed by Origins Star Ryan Reynolds

X-Men cast reunion crashed by Origins star Ryan Reynolds

It’s amazing to think that 20 years ago the cinematic world was introduced the X-Men universe and to celebrate, the cast of the original film gathered for a Zoom reunion call to support Global Citizen’s Global Goal: Unite for Our Future…only to be crashed by Origins: Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds and other prequel stars. The hilarious clip can be viewed in the player below!

Global Citizen is a social action platform for a global generation that aims to solve the world’s biggest challenges. On the platform, viewers can learn about issues, take action on what matters most, and join a community committed to social change, with the company believing they can end extreme poverty with the collective actions of Global Citizens across the world.

The reunion call features franchise icons Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, alongside Halle Berry and Famke Janssen with guest appearances from Dark Phoenix‘s Sophie Turner and James McAvoy and a surprise final cameo from Origins: Wolverine‘s Liev Schreiber. The majority of the cast members on the call leave after the future Deadpool co-writer/producer/star brings them in on the call, citing a need to join Game of Thrones, James Bond, Star Trek and Split reunions.

Viewers who would like to join the Global Citizen can sign up here!

Quibi Unveils Ensemble for The Princess Bride Recreation

Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride is one of the most everlasting romantic adventure comedies that no one wants to see a remake of, but Quibi has found a workaround as they have partnered with Jason Reitman (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) for an ensemble recreation! (Via Entertainment Weekly)

Reitman previously staged live reads of the cult classic at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2011 and Toronto International Film Festival in 2015 and filmed the recreation special in secret in quarantine. The cast list for the special includes Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones), Common (The Chi) and Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and David Burtka, Hugh Jackman (Logan), Andy Serkis (War for the Planet of the Apes), Keegan-Michael Key (All the Bright Places), Elijah Wood (Come to Daddy), Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart), Jack Black (Jumanji: The Next Level), Diego Luna (Narcos: Mexico), Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit), Jon Hamm (Tag), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), Patton Oswalt (The Boys), Josh Gad (Frozen II), Reiner and Fred Savage!

Other cast members are currently being kept under wraps, with the roster all trading off roles across the film’s iconic sequences and Savage reprising his role. It marks the second time in the past few years he’s reprised his role in an homage-fashion after the PG-13 edit of Deadpool 2 entitled Once Upon a Deadpool.

Based on the William Goldman novel of the same name, the 1987 film told the story of a farmhand named Westley, portrayed by Cary Elwes, as he journeys to rescue his true love, Princess Buttercup, played by Robin Wright, and is accompanied by companions befriended along the way, including Spanish fencer Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), out for revenge for the death of his father. To preserve the novel’s existence, the story is told in the film as a grandfather (Peter Falk) reading it to his sick grandson (Savage).

The new recreation is set to premiere on Monday and the original can currently be streamed on Disney+!

Spencer: NEON & Topic Studios Acquire U.S. Rights to Kristen Stewart Drama

NEON and Topic Studios have co-acquired the U.S. rights to director Pablo Larraín’s (Jackie, Neruda, Lisey’s Story) Spencer starring Kristen Stewart (Seberg, Underwater, Still Alice) as Princess Diana.

Written by Steven Knight (Eastern Promises, Peaky Blinders, Locke), Spencer covers a critical weekend in the early ’90s when Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles wasn’t working and that she needed to veer from a path that put her in line to one day be queen. The film takes place over three days, in one of her final Christmas holidays in the House of Windsor in their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England.

The movie won’t deal with Princess Diana’s tragic death after she left that palace life, but will examine the fraying of the relationship with her husband and her ferocious love for her sons Prince William and Prince Henry.

Spencer will be produced by Larraín along with Fabula partner Juan de Dios, Jonas Dornbach, Janine Jackowski, and Paul Webster. The movie will be released by NEON, with plans to be announced at a later date.

CS Movie Day Planner: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Comingsoon.net is introducing a new feature called CS Movie Day Planner, where we pick a movie and list all the activities the main character did in a single day. Check out Ferris Bueller’s day in the gallery below!

Many of us around the world have the day off. Our circumstances are less than appealing but we must stay optimistic. John Hughes’ character, Ferris Bueller from the 1986 classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, is one of the most optimistic personas to ever grace the screen. The guy can handle anything. He epitomizes what it means to be alive and free—missing 9 days of school not to slack off, watch television or play video games, but to live and embrace the world he lives in.

We can’t do that last part right now but we can live vicariously through Ferris. Faking sick may not be the most appropriate way to acquire some free time (especially during a global pandemic); however, the day Bueller had in 1986 is that of legend. It’s not just about what he did but how he did it: liberating his best friend Cameron and spending time with the girl he loved. Most of the quotes in the following list are by Ferris as we follow his POV (unless stated otherwise). With Ferris-like tenacity, we’ve done our best to honor the schedule of the greatest day off of all-time (but it’s also a movie so suspend your disbelief a little).

Sideshow Collectibles Announce Sideshow Con Experience!

While most San Diego Comic-Con exhibitors are leaving their booths behind and taking their products 100% into the digital realm, Sideshow Con will center around a physical booth space for a unique twist on their typical convention format. A custom-made installation will recreate Sideshow’s jaw-dropping “pop culture art gallery” style Comic-Con presence, but in a secure and private environment that will augment an online experience.

Click here to learn more about FREE pre-registration!

This July, Sideshow Con will enable fans from all over the world to engage with the Sideshow team and explore an enormous, immersive, and often-evolving physical booth from the comfort of their homes.

From July 20th– July 26th, fans and collectors will have unprecedented live access to HD streams of all of the new products reveals and convention exclusive products, as well as the opportunity to interact with Sideshow’s artists and meet the creative teams behind these collectibles.

Sideshow PR Manager, Andy Smith, said: “The ‘Sideshow Con’ idea was really born from our sadness about the cancellation of the physical San Diego Comic-Con. We wanted to find a way of showcasing all of the new products that Sideshow and our partners are unveiling this year, but also to try and bring all of the engagement, discussion, interaction, love, and enthusiasm of an in-person event to this venture. We decided to build a physical real-world Sideshow booth space, and we’re filling it with new and never before seen (and fan favorite) products from Sideshow as well as our brand partners like Hot Toys, PCS Collectibles, DC Direct, Prime 1, and more. All of this will enhance our annual online experience we offer to fans.

We’ve got giveaways, contests, convention-exclusive products, special guests, artist interviews, and all the things you would expect from Sideshow at San Diego Comic-Con, but with a few unusual twists that are only possible with this new format. For example, we can now display these amazing pieces without protective glass cases (something we could never do at a convention!), giving fans a clearer and more detailed look at each product. We’ll also be swapping out displays, changing up accessories and poses, adding new elements, and maybe even hiding a few Easter eggs every day, which will make for a very dynamic display. Let’s just say it’s going to be worth it for fans to ‘visit’ Sideshow Con every day.”

Keeping that “convention spirit” alive is an essential part of Sideshow Con, and many aspects of a physical convention are being preserved, including a FREE pre-registration process for priority access to content and merch, as well as early bird access to limited edition convention exclusive products, and contests. And with no lines or crowds to compete with, access to Sideshow’s full convention experience has never been easier!

Sideshow is no stranger to providing a bevy of online content during convention season, so fans around the world should expect Sideshow’s usual energetic content schedule, which features product spotlight videos, multiple daily livestreams, and the premiere of new entertainment content, including Season 2 of Sideshow’s Strike a Pose!, a sixth scale figure posing game show.

Fans who pre-register for Sideshow Con will have early access to Con Exclusives from Hot Toys, Sideshow, and more, as well as Sideshow rewards points, exclusive invitations to early previews and behind the scenes booth tours, as well as deals on official Sideshow Con swag!

Sideshow’s CEO, Greg Anzalone, said: “Pop culture is vital. Perhaps now even more than ever. While the disruption from COVID-19 has caused us all to step back and re-address our large-scale social gatherings, it’s also shown us just how much we appreciate and value the arts. Whether it’s reminiscing and re-discovering a beloved cartoon from our childhood or binge-watching our favorite movies and TV shows. Reading our favorite novel or comic book, playing with a toy, or appreciating a piece of beautiful art. Our shared fandoms, their characters, and the worlds that they inhabit have proven to be a great source of comfort for everyone.

The cancellation of 2020’s San Diego Comic-Con and similar events was understandable and important, but it was also very unfortunate for many fans and collectors. We are doing everything we can to make the most of this unusual situation, and to give something back to the community we love so much, and who has shown us so much love. Sideshow’s team has been going to San Diego since 1998 and I’ll dearly miss SDCC this year, but hopefully we can bring a little bit of that Comic-Con magic to people at home, and perhaps introduce it to many more people who’ve perhaps never had the opportunity to experience that amazing event in person.”

Visit side.show/con for daily updates and information about this event as more details are announced, including all the latest info regarding early bird access, new reveals, convention exclusive products, and more!

Ben Roberts will serve as co-executive producer for Alcon, with Production IG’s Mitsuhisa Ishikawa will participate as production adviser.

“The Blade Runner universe is an incredibly deep well for story and character with its world and mythology that audiences have been debating and talking about since inception,” Kosove and Johnson said in a previous statement. “We are excited to continue exploring that world via this anime series.”

“I first saw Blade Runner in 1982, at age 11. It has remained one of the defining films of my life,” Jason DeMarco, svp/creative director of Adult Swim on-air, said in a previous statement. “To be able to explore more of this universe, with the incredible talent we have on board, is a dream come true.”

Adult Swim will maintain worldwide distribution rights for the English dubbed version of the series, excluding Asia. The English dubbed episods will air on Adult Swim’s anime programming block, Toonami. Cruncyroll will handle worldwide streaming; both companies are divisions of WarnerMedia.

Bill & Ted Face the Music Pushed Back Two Weeks

BEGIN SLIDESHOW

Bill & Ted Face the Music pushed back two weeks

With a recent spike of outbreaks across the country, multiple films are pushing their release dates once again and after Warner Bros’ decision to push Tenet, Orion Pictures is following suit and delaying Bill & Ted Face the Music by two weeks, according to Variety.

The long-awaited threequel was originally set to hit theaters on August 14, but with Christopher Nolan’s mysterious new blockbuster being moved to the same date, MGM and Orion has chosen to push back the Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter-led sci-fi comedy to avoid competition with it.

Bill & Ted Face the Music centers on Bill S. Preston (Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Reeves), who are now fathers and have yet to fulfill their rock ‘n’ roll destinies. Their lives change when they are visited by a messenger from the future who warns them that only their song can save life as we know it.

Buy both previous Bill & Ted films here.

Joining Winter and Reeves are Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) and Brigette Lundy-Paine (Atypical) as Bill and Ted’s daughters, respectively. The film will also feature Anthony Carrigan (Barry), Jillian Bell (Workaholics), Kristen Schall (Toy Story 4), Holland Taylor (Gloria Bell), Kid Cudi, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays, and Beck Bennet. William Sadler is also set to reprise his role as Death alongside franchise returners Amy Stoch and Hal London Jr. Newcomer.

News of a third Bill & Ted film has been floating around for years. After Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, original creators Chris Matheson (Imagine That) and Ed Solomon (Men in Black, Now You See Me) have penned the script, with Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest, Fun with Dick and Jane) directing. Scott Kroopf (Limitless) will produce together with Alex Lebovici and Steve Ponce of Hammerstone Studios, with Steven Soderbergh serving as an executive producer alongside Scott Fischer, John Ryan Jr., and John Santilli.
