One of the core components of a video game is the cast that has been put behind the in-game characters. Not only do they give their voice to the character, but ultimately bring it to life making the experience worthwhile. While popular franchises, such as Final Fantasy are known for sticking with renowned actors to voice their characters, their one decision has proved to be for the worse according to their player base.
Final Fantasy cast Tyler Hoechlin for the role of Sephiroth in the games
The character of Sephiroth has always been an iconic one and was voiced by George Newbern before the year 2020. Newbern’s voice was unfortunately retired 4 years ago, and the replacement was none other than Tyler Hoechlin, an actor known for his work as Superman in CW’s Superman and Lois.

Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 5 was supposedly going to turn it all around for the superhero universe. After a failed attempt with Phase 4, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was a promising candidate when it came to reviving the MCU. Starring Paul Rudd, Jonathan Majors, and Kathryn Newton, the film unfortunately failed to live up to the fans’ expectations.

In a recent interview, Kathryn Newton revealed that filming for Ant-Man 3 was the easiest job of her life. Looking at the response her comments have received, it is clear that fans are still upset about the awful sequel, especially her performance, and are not going to let her live it down.

Fallout has been receiving praise left and right ever since the first episode premiered. Based on the successful video game of the same name, it is already a critically acclaimed show. Only days after its release, there have been numerous fans acknowledging every aspect including the acting. Understanding adaptations and perfecting them leads to a quality final product.
Ella Purnell in Fallout
In the past, the response to games being adapted, especially into live-action, has been almost bittersweet. With the exception of The Last of Us, Detective Pikachu, and a few more, the response hasn’t been as great as one would hope. Fallout is here to break that cycle.

Knives Out has become iconic in many different ways. Not only did its cast break the internet, but its approach to the whodunit genre was so unique and intriguing that fans could not help but fawn over its genius. As if Daniel Craig playing the role of Benoit Blanc wasn’t enough, the cast also includes Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Michael Shannon.
Knives Out
The mystery genre has been around for a very long time, which has made it quite difficult to do something new. Everything has already been done and every twist has been turned far too many times. When something becomes this familiar to audiences, many filmmakers and creators draw inspiration from preexisting works to get what they think are the best parts and make something new.

‘The American Society of Magical Negroes’ Star Justice Smith on His Bold New Film, D&d and PokemonGo
Upon his 2013 graduation from the Orange County School of the Arts, Justice Smith assumed he would spend some time “waiting tables and doing small roles in indie films here and there.” Instead, he found himself working the blockbuster space fairly quickly, booking roles in “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” and its sequel “Jurassic World Dominion.” He stood out opposite a fuzzy creature voiced by Ryan Reynolds in “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu” and as a half-elf sorcerer in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.”
Though it was a crash course in big-budget filmmaking, the 28-year-old actor notes that he wouldn’t have had it any other way. “I’m blessed because those experiences were also highly technical environments that challenged me,” he says. “It strengthened my ability and gave me a more well-rounded arsenal of tools. While doing the thing I love.”

‘Peaches‘ is one of the songs that Bowser sings for Peaches, whom he kidnaps, prompting Mario to rescue her again and again in Mario’s story. However, despite being widely well-received by fans of the film, the actor, and the character, the song failed to secure a nomination at the Academy Awards, much to the actor’s hilarious charging. Not only did this get a reaction from Black, but he also used this to discuss his ideas for a possible Super Mario Bros. sequel.

Kathryn Newton is inevitably one of the best actresses of this generation. Yet, her recent onscreen performances aren’t quite catching fire at box offices the same way they did before. Just like how her Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) managed to gross almost thrice its budget, her recent Ant-Man 3 failed to land the mark and ended with a disappointing box office run.
Kathryn Newton in The Society
As it seems, that losing box-office streak of hers isn’t dying down easily. This comes after her most recent movie Lisa Frankenstein suffered a devastating blow at the worldwide box office to end its run with a gross even less than its budget. Despite this, her fans still have high hopes for this film, even predicting that it would go on to become a cult classic following its release on streaming.

After this trailer, you'll likely never look at childhood nostalgia the same way ever again. A24 has all but cornered the market these days on distributing original horror movies that feel of a piece with one another, leading an entire generation of moviegoers to think of the studio in the same terms as Marvel movies -- as a brand in and of itself, remarkably enough. Marketing prowess aside, however, many filmmakers have managed to take full advantage of this creative partnership and get eyeballs on fascinating movies that otherwise might've slid underneath most audiences' radars. Next up is one of the year's most daring and creative productions yet: "I Saw the TV Glow."
Written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, this marks the non-binary filmmaker's newest effort after 2021's "We're All Going to the World's Fair," a feature debut that immediately put their name on the map for good. "I Saw the TV Glow...

Last year’s R.L. Stine-based Disney+ series “Goosebumps” will return for Season 2, we’ve learned this weekend, but the cast and setting will be switched up this time around.
Variety reports, “The announcement was made during the Disney Branded Television presentation at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. As part of the announcement, it was also revealed that the second season would be eight episodes compared to the 10-episode first season, and that the show is going the anthology route. Thus, Season 2 will feature an entirely new cast and setting based on R.L. Stine’s iconic Scholastic book series.”

The classic Kaiju movie formula may have been invented in America with flicks like King Kong and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, but at this point everyone’s aware that Japan is the one that perfected the genre. From Godzilla to Gamera, Japanese filmmakers have made these giant creature features part of their national identity, so it stands to reason that the west can’t quite keep up when it comes to traditional Kaiju movies.
Sure, we’re lucky enough to be living through a Kaiju renaissance with Legendary’s Monsterverse and the occasional dark horse like Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, but it’s really difficult for western cinema to capture the cheesy chaos of giant monsters wreaking havoc in densely populated urban environments. Thankfully, there are exceptions to this rule, and I’d argue that there’s one recent blockbuster that actually managed to reach the heights of...

Not many movies scare me anymore. Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow is one of them. It reduced me to a child, and brought me back to a dream I had of being strapped to a chair and forced to watch something with some unknowable power that is at once intoxicating and terrifying.
I Saw the TV Glow is Schoenbrun’s sophomore film after the micro-budget, experimental critical favorite We’re All Going to the World’s Fair. It is extremely slow, largely abstract, and entirely up to the viewer’s interpretation. With audiences and horror fans, it was controversial, and it seemed like your enjoyment of the film was equivalent to how much you put into it. It premiered at the online 2021 Sundance Film Festival in the Next category (a usually niche category that celebrates more experimental films), and was released in a very small theatrical run, followed by...

“Pokémon” fans have a new dream vacation spot: the tropical island resort in Netflix’s “Pokémon Concierge.”
The stop-motion animation series could be the most adorable show Netflix has ever made. Each Pokémon is meticulously crafted with fuzzy fur, smooth scales and friendly features that make you want to scoop them up and give them a hug. Twenty-nine different Pokémon pop up across four short episodes of “Concierge,” and it’s enough to make any fan of the video games, anime or trading cards instantly fall in love with the new setting.
The only downside to “Concierge” is that the four episodes are about 15 minutes each, but there’s enough Poké magic and vacation vibes to make you want to book a ticket to the Pokémon Resort immediately. New character Haru (voiced in English by Karen Fukuhara) is down on her luck and takes a last-minute trip to the resort for a relaxing getaway.
The stop-motion animation series could be the most adorable show Netflix has ever made. Each Pokémon is meticulously crafted with fuzzy fur, smooth scales and friendly features that make you want to scoop them up and give them a hug. Twenty-nine different Pokémon pop up across four short episodes of “Concierge,” and it’s enough to make any fan of the video games, anime or trading cards instantly fall in love with the new setting.

The screenplay to the 2014 mega-hit "Guardians of the Galaxy," the 10th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was credited to director James Gunn and longtime Hollywood screenwriter Nicole Perlman. Perlman also has story credits on the films "Captain Marvel" and "Pokémon Detective Pikachu," and has previously been attached to a sequel to the 1986 Jim Henson film "Labyrinth," as well as film adaptations of the 1980s toy properties "Visionaries" and "M.A.S.K."
Perlman, according to an old article on the Marvel website, was recruited into the Marvel writing room way back in 2009 and was offered the opportunity to write a spec script for a "lesser" Marvel property as a test of her style and working capabilities. She selected "Guardians of the Galaxy," a Marvel title that had been rebooted by authors Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning the year before. Perlman said to her interviewer that this was a common...

A Look at Video Game Movie Adaptations With Highest Box Office Success (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Video game movie adaptations, especially video games with large fanbases, have always been a touchy subject. The ‘physics’ of video games is different; translating all that action and storyline into a film is not the most straightforward task, and when you factor in the expectations of an entire fanbase — the whole ordeal becomes downright daunting. Luckily, video game adaptations have taken off in the past decade, especially on TV in 2023 — and quite successfully! Their box office numbers prove that.
But, as mentioned above, these movies are brutal, considering their more fantastical elements and ‘animation.’ The latest addition anticipated for success in this category is the upcoming Minecraft, scheduled to be released on April 4, 2025.
Minecraft has a star-studded cast, including Jason Momoa, Matt Berry, Danielle Brooks, and possibly Jack Black. Let’s just wait and see how it pans out.

Justice Smith’s career has taken him to the forefront of major Hollywood tentpoles such as “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” and “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu,” but it has never taken him to the Sundance Film Festival until now. The 28-year-old actor was one of five honorees at the Variety & Golden Globes Breakthrough Artists Party presented by Adobe, and earning a breakthrough artist award was “a really warm welcome” to the annual Park City event. Smith has two films world premiering at Sundance: A24’s “I Saw the TV Glow” and Focus Features’ “The American Society of Magical Negroes.”
“I have a note in here to ask if this award shows up on my IMDb, because all that is there is a Razzie nomination,” Smith told the audience to much laughter. “So I would really appreciate if that could make it on there. This is the...

Simone Ashley has picked the follow-up to her breakthrough performance as Kathani “Kate” Sharma in season 2 of the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, as Deadline reports that she has the lead role in the psychological thriller This Tempting Madness, which just wrapped production in Los Angeles.
The film marks the feature directorial debut of Jennifer E. Montgomery, who also wrote the screenplay with her husband Andrew M. Davis. Davis has a background in cinematography, including some work on the Sam Raimi-produced horror anthology series 50 States of Fright, so he lensed his wife’s first movie. Inspired by a true story, it sees Ashley taking on the role of a young woman who awakens from a coma grievously injured, memory fractured, her husband arrested. But as she puts together the pieces of her past, she starts to question her own actions — and her perception of reality.

"Pokémon" is the highest-grossing multimedia franchise ever. It is bigger than Star Wars, Marvel, or even Barbie. But no matter how much "Pokémon has tried to evolve with the years, through movies, games, TV shows, and merchandise, it tends to be kind of repetitive.
Ever since the first games, "Pokémon Red & Green" came out, the stories have followed a formula all about collecting the creatures known as Pokémon and making them fight in an endless loop. Only recently did we actually see Ash finally win the ultimate prize. Sure, we've seen spin-offs try different things, like the photo-taking game "Pokémon Snap," but those always felt like small, unconnected afterthoughts rather than part of the main world of "Pokémon."

The producers of F9, the ninth installment of Universal’s Fast & Furious movie franchise, have been fined $1 million after a stunt performer on the film suffered “life-changing” injuries.
FF9 Pictures Limited, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, pleaded guilty to breaching the U.K.’s Health and Safety at Work Act last week at Luton Magistrates Court. District Judge Talwinder Buttar fined the company £800,000 ($1 million) and $18,600 in costs.
The prosecution stems from 2019 when stunt performer Joe Watts was severely injured during a stunt that went wrong and was thrown 25 feet onto a concrete floor.

In a recent turn of events, the makers of the action-packed movie Fast & Furious 9, known as FF9 Pictures Limited, faced a heavy penalty. The company, a branch of Universal Pictures, was fined over $1 million. This decision followed a tragic incident on set that caused severe injuries to stuntman Joe Watts.
Joe Watts, a seasoned stunt performer with credits in movies like Solo: A Star Wars Story and Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, faced a life-altering ordeal in 2019. During a stunt for F9, something went terribly wrong, and he fell 25 feet onto concrete. This accident left him with a traumatic brain injury and a fractured skull, changing his life forever.
What makes this incident even more heart-wrenching is that it could have been prevented. Investigations revealed a critical oversight: the line on Watts’ stunt vest had detached. This failure, coupled with other lapses like the lack of recent harness inspections and inadequate safety matting,...

Looking back, it's no wonder "Labyrinth" bombed at the box office. The last feature film directed by the late, great Jim Henson is just too inspiredly bizarre to have ever stood a chance of catching on with a mainstream audience right away, much less at the height of the Reagan era when it originally came out in 1986. It took many years of young people singing along to "Magic Dance" during slumber parties and coming to recognize their own sexual awakening right along with the then-teenaged Jennifer Connelly as Sarah for the film to become the cult classic it is today.
Indeed, dark, twisted, and occasionally sensual fantasy films that struggle to catch on with the masses before finding a niche audience were very much Henson's bag in the '80s. His and Frank Oz's 1982 feature film "The Dark Crystal" was also a financial dud that enjoyed a long...

The director of the first Detective Pikachu movie admitted one regret he had while making the film.
With how big the Pokémon franchise is, it’s odd to think about how few live-action films audiences have to live in its unique world—one to be exact. Detective Pikachu was exciting because it allowed audiences to see a universe where people co-exist with the colorful companions who were a part of so many childhoods.
As of 2019 when the movie was released, there were roughly 900 Pokémon the filmmakers could have chosen to include in the project.

If you're a horror fan of a certain age, R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" books and the subsequent Ytv television series were formative to your monster kid upbringing. Whether it was thirsting after the new cover illustrated by Tim Jacobus at the Scholastic Book Fair or rushing to get your homework done to be able to watch the newest episode on TV, "Goosebumps" was and continues to be a seminal gateway to the world of all things spooky and scary for young audiences. In 2015, a "Goosebumps" film by Rob Letterman was released featuring Jack Black as a fictionalized version of Stine whose monstrous musings manifest in our real world, and the film performed well enough at the box office to justify a Halloween-themed sequel three years later.

Chefs are famously short tempered and Philip Barantini’s 2020 potboiler will help you to understand why, as it follows – purportedly in a single take – the frantic behind-the-scenes action in a high end restaurant which is overbooked, understaffed and all out of time for apologies. With an unhappy inspector sneaking around the kitchen and an important food critic amongst the diners – accompanied by a famous TV cook who just happens to be the head chef’s old mentor – there is no room for anything to go wrong. Stephen Graham is on fine form in the lead, striking a careful balance between charisma and necessary aggression, actor and character both fully focused throughout. The effect is like watching a car chase where you know the stunts are all being done for real.

The brand new “Goosebumps” television series from Disney+ and Hulu will premiere on October 13, and now the show’s full official trailer has arrived this afternoon.
The two-minute trailer features callbacks to several classic Goosebumps tales, including “Welcome to Dead House,” “Say Cheese and Die!” and “The Cuckoo Clock of Doom,” and it also features an appearance from the iconic Slappy doll. Like the two live action movies we got in recent years, however, it looks like the series will not be directly adapting any of the books.
Watch the “Goosebumps” official trailer below!
Disney previews in the official press details, “The new series draws on elements from five of the most popular middle grade books including Say Cheese and Die!, The Haunted Mask, The Cuckoo Clock of Doom, Go Eat Worms! and Night of the Living Dummy.”

As “The Masked Singer” panelist Nicole Scherzinger returns to London’s West End this month, starring as Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard, the show has found a suitable substitute: Singer/songwriter Rita Ora. Ora, who is no stranger to the format as a panelist for “The Masked Singer UK,” will take the U.S. “Masked Singer” panelist chair alongside Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg and Robin Thicke throughout Season 11, now shooting (and set to air in midseason).
Of course, Scherzinger will still be seen this fall on Season 10 of “The Masked Singer,” which taped earlier this year and returned with a special episode this past Sunday (featuring the unmasking of Demi Lovato). “The Masked Singer” returns for its regular Season 10 on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. Et.
Ora is known for performing four No. 1 UK singles and holds the UK record for the most Top 10 singles...
