It’s understandable why Jada Pinkett would have an issue with being solely labeled as Smith’s wife. Her husband is a global superstar with many box-office hits under his belt. Although Jada Pinkett might not have seen the same kind of career heights, she’s an accomplished actor in her own right. Still, Jada Pinkett confided that her personal sacrifices also helped Smith’s wildest dreams come true. But these compromises also led to a bit of self-reflection over the years.
“When I look back at my actual actions and ask, ‘Would I have changed the action?’ I go, ‘No, I wouldn’t.

Jada Pinkett Smith made headlines a few years ago after revealing her quiet affair with August Alsina during a red table talk with Will Smith. Recently, Alsina made a few cryptic comments that might imply he’s paying a hefty price for his and Pinkett Smith’s affair even years later.

Alsina was once more known for his music than he was for any entanglements. Some of the Def Jam artist’s most recognizable hits might include tracks like the 2014 single “No Love” and the 2016 song “Do You Mind”. After his rise to stardom, Alsina met and networked with many artists in the music industry, including Pinkett Smith’s son Jaden. Alsina confided that it was Jaden who first introduced him to the Gotham star.

Every now and then, a low-budget film emerges from outside the studio system and catches fire with the largely ignored right-leaning demographic, leaving mouths agape in Hollywood’s executive suites.
The Daily Wire hopes to add to the list of films that includes “The Passion of the Christ,” “I Can Only Imagine” and last year’s “Sound of Freedom” with the satire “Am I Racist?” — which marks the conservative media company’s first wide theatrical release. Starring comedian Matt Walsh, the “Borat”-style mockumentary takes aim at the Dei movement and is set to open in 1,510 theaters today, representing the most ambitious swing for the 9-year-old company founded by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing.
“They’re leaving plenty of money on the table, and we’re happy to come in and take some of it. Because, at a minimum, you are explicitly refusing to serve 50% of the audience,” Walsh says...

Michael Bay’s Bad Boys with Will Smith kicked off the director’s career, where he introduced his distinct visual style. While his films may not be for everyone, no one can deny that he is a visionary filmmaker with a bombastic and gritty approach to staging action sequences. In addition to being known for the Transformers franchise, he is also celebrated for crafting the Bad Boys franchise.

The success of the first film put Smith and Martin Lawrence on the map, catapulting their star power in the industry. Bay created something special with the first film and there was huge pressure to deliver when they were developing a sequel. The film was going up against tentpole films Hulk and The Matrix: Reloaded and the director did his best to mount the film to the level of those two films.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence worked together to create one of cinema’s biggest franchises in the Bad Boys series. But in the second film, Michael Bay was facing some stiff competition from other action movies. This had a small but effective impact on how Bad Boys 2 turned out.

Bay hoped to top the original Bad Boys with its sequel, and he was given more resources to do it. The original Bad Boys only gave Bay a budget of $19 million to use for the movie. But playing it safe with the budget led to a much bigger reward, as Bad Boys ended up grossing $141 million worldwide.

It’s official: Marvel Studios and Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine has become the top-grossing R-rated film of all time at the global box office, not adjusted for inflation.
Directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in what proved to be a stroke of casting magic, the movie shattered its latest — and most important record — on Thursday when passing up Todd Phillips’ Joker. Reynolds first shared the news on social media.
The Deadpool threequel finished Thursday with a global tally of $1.086 billion. That includes $516.8 million domestically and $568.8 million internationally.
Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role, grossed $1.079 billion in 2019, not adjusted for inflation. They are the only two R-rated movies to have crossed $1 billion.
No. 3 on the list of top R-rated global performer is Christopher Nolan’s 2023 film Oppenheimer ($974.5 million), followed by Reynolds’ two previous Deadpool pics, The Matrix Reloaded and The Passion of the Christ.

If you have watched season 3 of The Umbrella Academy, then you’ll be aware that after Allison hit the reset button, the titular team entered a timeline where they didn’t have any of their powers. But due to some kind of inter-timeline bleeding, certain objects and articles started to appear in the timeline that the Umbrellas were in. And while most of them were seen as Easter Eggs and callbacks to the previous seasons of the show, the most important artifact that was collected was the jar of marigolds (the thing from Reginald Hargreeves’ world that granted the kids on Earth their powers). The Umbrellas were not interested in consuming the liquid gold to get their powers back, but since Ben spiked everybody’s drinks with the marigold, they all got their powers back. Now, all throughout the series, we’ve seen Five teleport, reverse time, and jump from one time period to another.

Ryan Reynolds is infamous for lacing his Deadpool movies with industry jokes. In the 2018 sequel, the irreverent antihero ponders whether his movies will ever be able to pass up the $370.8 million collected by Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ in North America and become the biggest R-rated film of all time, not adjusted for inflation. While the first Deadpool overtook Passion of the Christ globally ($782 million versus $612 million), it couldn’t claim that same feat stateside.
Reynolds finally got to see that wish come true over the Aug. 2-4 weekend, thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine, which has smashed one record after another since its launch more than a week ago, including stellar midweek business that put its seven-day domestic cume at a stunning $298.3 million through Thursday.

However, Reeves is not just a badass on-screen but also off-screen. The actor reportedly has a prized motorcycle collection which he is extremely proud of. Reeves was so attached to his hobby of riding that he did not stop even after multiple accidents, including one that was near fatal.

Keanu Reeves is pausing — if not quite pausing time in bullet-time style — to reflect on the legacy of “The Matrix.”
The iconic sci-fi film celebrates its 25th anniversary, and Reeves appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in part to revisit how much “The Matrix” means to audiences.
“‘The Matrix’ changed my life, and then over these years, it’s changed so many other people’s lives in really positive and great ways,” Reeves said. “As an artist, you hope for that when you get to do a film or tell a story.”
He explained, “So when you say these years, the amount of people that I have met who have said to me and been touched by ‘The Matrix’ in such a positive way…It’s the best.”
The 1999 film was written and directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski. The “Matrix” franchise, including “The Matrix,” “The Matrix Reloaded,...

Keanu Reeves had to briefly pause an interview with Stephen Colbert during an appearance on “The Late Show” when the host brought up that “The Matrix” is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The realization hit Reeves, as he went silent for 20 seconds while trying to find the right words to remember the film by.

Isn’t it true that every cloud has a silver lining? Taylor Sheridan, the maestro behind the cinematic tapestry we know as Yellowstone, earlier shot to fame through the keen edge of his pen with talented screenplays like Sicario & Hell or High Water. However, it was his Wind River that weaved a web of neo-Western crime mystery so enthralling that it ensnares us with its relevance and thought-provoking narrative.
Jeremy Renner in Wind River | The Weinstein Company
Sheridan’s adept incorporation of harrowing real-life crime input into this chilling tale lent it a gravity that cannot be ignored, serving as a grim reflection of society’s darker undertones. In Wind River, we are introduced to Cory Lambert (portrayed by Jeremy Renner), a diligent game hunter, whose discovery of a young woman’s body in the desolate, frostbitten wilderness catapults us into a heart-wrenching saga of brutality.

Raven Banner Entertainment has launched sales at the Cannes Film Festival’s market on the reboot of Roger Corman’s cult sword and sorcery film series, “Deathstalker,” which is currently shooting in Canada.
Daniel Bernhardt stars as the titular character in this reimagined instalment, directed by Steven Kostanski. Bernhardt plays a barbarian cursed by a magical talisman, leading him into conflict with a malevolent wizard and monstrous assassins.
The original “Deathstalker” films, produced by Corman in the 1980s, followed the success of John Milius’ “Conan the Barbarian.” Kostanski’s reboot focuses on the fantasy setting, utilizing creature suits, prosthetic FX make-up and stop-motion animation from his Action Pants FX shop, which recently completed work on upcoming horror-comedy “Frankie Freako,” which is also being sold by Raven Banner at Cannes.

All eyes at this year’s Cannes Film Festival will be on the hotly anticipated premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s self-funded epic Megalopolis. Laurence Fishburne is part of the ensemble cast and is no stranger to debuting a pricey, high-profile project at Cannes.
In 2003, Fishburne hit the Croisette for the Wachowskis’ action sequel The Matrix Reloaded, in which he reprised his role as Morpheus after originating the character in the 1999 sci-fi smash. Also in attendance was Fishburne’s then-wife Gina Torres, who played Cas in the sequels.
After The Matrix introduced viewers to Neo (Keanu Reeves), a computer hacker who discovers that humans have been enslaved in a simulation engineered by AI machines, Reloaded catches up six months later with Neo’s journey alongside Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus as they battle the Machine Army. THR’s review was lukewarm but noted that Fishburne “handles well the transition to...

The 2024 summer box office season kicked off with a whimper over the weekend. Universal's "The Fall Guy," which boasts a cast led by Ryan Gosling ("Barbie") and Emily Blunt ("Oppenheimer"), debuted to a very disappointing $28.5 million domestically. That was, essentially, on par with 2021's "Free Guy," a movie that opened under far worse circumstances as the pandemic was a much larger factor at that time. It's a grim number for a $130 million blockbuster with an A-list cast. So much so that it now ranks as the worst summer season kick-off movie in decades.
No movie from 2004 on has opened lower than $29 million on the first weekend of May. For the last 15 years, we've had a big Marvel movie in theaters to help kick things off with a bang. Last year we had "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" opening to $118.4 million. It even held quite well and posted a $60.5 million second weekend,...

In horror, bodies are usually split into parts, not the movies themselves.
Lots of slasher icons are revived for sequel upon sequel over the years but very few franchises — in any genre — have released a trilogy of movies within one year. Lionsgate’s “The Strangers” is breaking down the door in an ambitious, three-chapter strategy to give horror fans a never-before-seen horror “odyssey.”
This isn’t the first time “The Strangers” has come sneaking into theaters. The original 2008 film, inspired by real-life break-ins and the Charles Manson murders, starred Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a not-so-happy couple who get an unwelcome knock at their door in the middle of the night. They turn away a creepy woman asking “Is Tamara home?” but are soon plagued by masked, knife-wielding home invaders. The movie became a sleeper hit, making $82 million off a $9 million budget, and 10 years it later spawned a sequel,...

Epic war-time survival tale “The Guns of Muschu” has already assembled a weighty cast ahead of a production start in the first quarter of 2025.
The film is an adaptation of the non-fiction book “The Guns of Muschu,” written by Don Dennis, with an adapted screenplay by Tom Broadhurst and Jack Brislee (“Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan”). The narrative brings to life a pivotal chapter of Australian war history with gritty authenticity, recounting the high body count Operation Copper, a mission during WWII when Australian and New Zealand troops were sent into the jungles of Papua New Guinea.
The objective of the mission was to investigate the Japanese defenses on Muschu Island, capture a Japanese officer for interrogation and discover the location of two naval guns on the island that were protecting a harbor. Eight commandos were landed as part of the operation, but only one survived.

The best things come in threes, especially stories. In Western nations, we like a three-act structure in which we set a status quo, watch our heroes fall, and then see them return to greatness. Some of these stories cannot be held within a single movie. For those epics, those monumental narratives, the movie trilogy was born. Trilogies represent some of the best that cinema has to offer, movies that changed the culture and the art form. The trilogy might vary in quality from film to film, but together these three films tell a story that cannot be ignored.
Before we get too far, let’s lay out our criteria. The trilogies chosen here are those intended to be a trilogy, either from the outset or by the end of the third film. Thus we’re including things such as the Toy Story and Indiana Jones trilogies, even though those continued on with further entries.

Kevin Costner is hoping a few years from now, moviegoers will have the opportunity to binge four Horizon movies in theaters.
“Maybe a year and a half, two years from now, they will come (to theaters) for 12 hours,” he told the assembled crowd of theater owners Tuesday at CinemaCon, where he teased his two-part Horizon films.
So far, only two of his planned four films have been made, he acknowledged, but he has two more scripts ready to go, should the risky film project he helped finance be successful.
“When I think about the promise of America, there was a promise out here, if you could go. If you were tough enough, if you were mean enough, if you were resourceful enough, if you were lucky enough, you could take what you wanted in America,” Costner said of the appeal of the American West. “That promise meant that we step...

Oliver Stone is more than just a filmmaker. The man enlisted in the United States Army during the time of the Vietnam War and when he returned, he decided to tell the harrowing stories of war through the art of filmmaking. His 1986 film Platoon starring was one such film, but it could’ve ended up looking a bit different if actors like Keanu Reeves and Kevin Costner had agreed to be a part of it.
A still from Platoon (1986)
So why did they turn down a film that would go on to become critically acclaimed, do great at the box office, and receive not one, but four Academy Awards? Well, given the fact that the film was based on the Vietnam War and Oliver Stone’s firsthand experience with it, the topic might have been a bit too much for the actors.

Warner Bros. has announced that the studio will be developing a new film in The Matrix franchise with filmmaker Drew Goddard. Though not many details have been revealed, the studio put out a statement saying that Goddard came to them with an idea that was original while also respecting the canon created by the Wachowskis in their films.
While a new Matrix film is interesting, fans still seem to be getting over the disappointment of The Matrix Resurrections. The fourth film in the franchise came eighteen years after the trilogy ended and opened to extremely divisive reviews from critics and audiences alike. If Warner Bros. decides to work on another film in the franchise, here are three mistakes that the fourth film made that the studio needs to avoid in The Matrix 5.

Currently untitled, the project will be the first Matrix film to not directly involve creators Lana and Lilly Wachowski, though the former will serve as executive producer. Plot details are currently being kept under wraps, but it sounds like Goddard has a strong vision to extend the franchise.

Lana Wachowski, who helmed the most recent “Matrix” installment, 2021’s “Resurrections,” is attached as an executive producer.
It’s not clear who from the “Matrix” universe — Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss have anchored all of the prior movies as Neo and Trinity, while Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris and Priyanka Chopra Jonas joined in the most recent iteration — will return.
Plot details haven’t been revealed, but Warner Bros. Motion Pictures president of production Jesse Ehrman teases that the story will advance the fantasy world without straying too far...

Sting is the new film from Australian writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner, the man behind the Mad Max meets Dawn of the Dead films Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead and its sequel Wyrmwood: Apocalypse as well as the over-the-top ghost hunting film Nekrotronic.

Charlotte is a rebellious twelve-year-old who lives there...
