And the price is…wrong?
Netflix has announced that, effective immediately, it is raising the price of its most popular monthly streaming service plan from $8.99 to $9.99, a one dollar hike. Via the Verge:
Netflix has announced that effective immediately, it’s raising the price of its most popular plan to $9.99 per month, up from the previous monthly rate of $8.99. Existing customers don’t have to worry about paying the higher subscription until October 2016, the company said. This plan allows two simultaneous streams for each customer and also includes high definition streaming; a cheaper non-HD $7.99/month plan will remain available. Netflix justifies the price jump by saying it’s necessary to help the company “bring more great content to users.”
More great content indeed. This is to be expected of course but it is still disappointing.
A ant sized sequel coming.
Ant-Man was a more intimate Marvel movie small on epic scale but big on heart and humor. Now its getting a sequel!
This time, Wasp is joining. Titled “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” it is set to be released in July 6, 2018. It will also be the first studio picture with a heroine in the title and a main lead.
However, Ant-Man and the Wasp getting released in 2018 caused some shuffling for the movies in Phase 3. Here is Marvel’s full presser:
Now that Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has officially reached its conclusion with the release of Marvel’s “Ant-Man,” we have new details on what to expect in Phase 3!
Following our hero’s debut adventure in this summer’s “Ant-Man,” Scott Lang will return alongside Hope Van Dyne on July 6, 2018 with Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp.” The sequel will mark the first Marvel Studios film named after its heroine.
Additionally, Ant-Man’s second adventure will lead to a couple of other films shifting their dates, with Marvel’s “Black Panther” moving up to February 16, 2018 and Marvel’s “Captain Marvel” landing on March 8, 2019.
Finally, three untitled Marvel Studios films will premiere on May 1, 2020, July 10, 2020, and November 6, 2020.
The announcement of “Ant-Man and the Wasp” follows the success of “Ant-Man,” which has earned $178.5M domestically and $231.3M internationally for a global total of $409.8M. It’s the #9 film of the year domestically, and opens in its final international market, China, on October 16.
“Ant-Man” followed one of this year’s biggest blockbusters, Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” which has earned $458.9M domestically and $946M internationally for a global total of $1,404.9M, making it the #2 film of the year domestically and the #6 film of all time globally.
Stay tuned to Marvel.com for more exciting announcements on Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future.
Phase 3 is looking quite packed. As a Marvel and comic book fan boy, I cannot wait.
It seems like most of the major stars from the original Ghostbusters are appearing in the new reboot in some form, with Sigourney Weaver just confirm by director Paul Feig on his twitter:
So far it has been confirm that Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, and Annie Potts have all been confirmed to cameo. The new Ghostbusters will consist of all females and stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Chris Hemsworth, Neil Casey and Andy García.
A star studded list. Who are you gonna call?
Get your Snoopy on! Fox has released the newest trailer for Charlie Brown and gang. Check it out below:
The Peanuts Movie debuts Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the beloved Peanuts gang in their big-screen debut and in state of the art 3D animation. Snoopy, the world’s most lovable beagle – and flying ace – embarks upon his greatest mission as he takes to the skies to pursue his arch-nemesis The Red Baron, while his best pal, Charlie Brown, begins his own epic quest.
In a recent podcast with JurassicCast, the director of Jurassic World, Colin Trevorrow, talks about film making, Star Wars, and Jurassic World. There some interesting discussion and plans for how he envisions the sequels to Jurassic World. Highlights are below (credit goes to Demoncarnotaur from the Neogaf forums):
Looks like after the gigantic success of Jurassic World, Trevorrow and crew as free reign and a blank paycheck for the sequel. And exploring dinosaurs loose in the wild/world? Could make for a very fun ride. The sequel is still in early development but expect more news about it when it gets into full production. In the meanwhile, check out the rest of the JurassicCast podcast below:
Devin over at BirthMoviesDeath.com has an interesting behind the scenes look at the tumultuous state of affairs in regards to the sequel to Man of Steel and the upcoming Justice League. According his sources, Brainiac will be the villain for the DC superhero team up. What is interesting to note is that sources told him and El Mayimbe from HeroicHollywood.com that Brainiac was the original chosen villain for the sequel to Man of Steel, which, much like Pacific Rim 2, is now put on indefinite hold:
It was [Man Of Steel’s] underperformance that led Warner Bros to scrap sequel plans and instead shove Batman into the next Superman movie, giving us Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* rather than Man of Steel 2. Rumors have been flying – rumors I have heard as well – that Superman’s solo movies are essentially dead, that WB doesn’t want to give the Big Boy Scout another movie until they have established the entire DC Movieverse.
…
According to Mayimbe the sequel [to Man of Steel] would see Brainiac arriving on Earth, looking not for Superman but his cousin, Kara Zor-El, Supergirl. She was actually set up in a prequel comic that DC released that we were told was canon; in it Kara was a member of the Kryptonian ‘Explorer’s Guild,’ who had been tasked with terraforming worlds. That means she might have been out in space when the cataclysm befell Krypton.
…
According to HH Man of Steel 2 was always going to be a split-hero affair, but in this case it was going to spend a lot of time on Supergirl. She would get about half the screen time, and over the course of the film Brainiac would create Bizarro to hunt her down. That means Man of Steel 2 would have Supergirl, Brainiac and Bizarro – quite the Silver Age line-up. Whose neck would get snapped this time?
I trust El Mayimbe’s sources, but I suspect that a lot of this stuff is scrapped now, especially as every whisper I hear about Justice League contains the word ‘Brainiac.’ I suspect elements of this story were cannibalized for the eventual team-up as well as BvS, whose main physical threat is, I believe, a cross between traditional Bizarro and another well-known Superman villain**
Interesante how Warner Bros just ditched Superman in favor of more Batman focused film in Batman Vs. Superman: Screw You Kal El (not actual title). It seems that Warner Bros really have no clue how to make an honest good Superman film. What a pity.
Looks like things are not drift compatible as Legendary, the studio that produced the original film, is having cold feet regarding the sequel. Hollywood Reporter has the write up here:
Legendary wanted to produce a sequel to del Toro’s Pacific Rim, which was made under the Warners deal and turned into one of those films that grosses a lot ($411 million worldwide) while being so costly that a follow-up isn’t a sure thing. Sources say Legendary liked that the original performed exceptionally well in China, where the company is heavily invested, but for now the project — which had been ramping up to make a release date in August 2017 — has been halted indefinitely and will be pushed back (if it gets made at all).
This does not bode well at all. Films put on indefinite hold sometimes don’t get made. Pacific Rim was a fun monster mash of a movie that hit all the right nerd buttons. It had unique creature designs, crazy mechs, rocket punches, dimensional travels, and explosive action. To see this passion project on hold is a punch in the gut. It seems like Guillermo Del Toro can never get his projects off the ground without problems and headaches. It is a pity because he is a very visual and creative director. Regardless, it doesn’t not mean that Pacific Rim 2 will never be made. Just that it is going to face hurdles. Sad.
