The highest-grossing zombie movie ever is finally coming back to streaming after several months away. 2013 brought on the release of World War Z, the zombie horror movie following a former Un employee who travels across the world with the hopes of stopping an apocalypse that threatens to destroy humanity. World War Z is currently only available to rent or purchase on VOD platforms, but Paramount+has confirmed thatthe film will begin streaming on September 1. World War Z stars Brad Pitt, who recently released his latest racing blockbuster, F1.

World War Z was moderately well-received by critics and audiences, which led to the film holding scores of 67% from critics and 72% from...

Sony, which was one of the suitors for Paramount, is now feeling the domino effect of that studio’s merger with Skydance with a slew of executive title bumps, as the Culver City lot on Monday made it official that Josh Greenstein is departing as Sony Pictures’ Motion Group President.

This leaves Sanford Panitch as the sole President of Sony Pictures’ Motion Picture Group. Greenstein and Panitch had the same title.

Greenstein is currently in talks to join Paramount-Skydance in an undefined senior executive role.

As we told you first, Columbia Pictures EVP Peter Kang now moves up to President of Production overseeing the label’s production and day-to-day development ops, reporting to Panitch. Andrea Giannetti, a 35-year veteran, is being promoted to EVP Production and Senior Creative, Columbia Pictures. She’ll also report in to Panitch.

Nicholas Weiss and Dave Fruchbom have been raised to Co-Heads of Global Creative and Strategy,...

It’s all but official: Sony Motion Picture Group president Josh Greenstein will depart the studio for a top job under David Ellison once the $8 billion Paramount Global-Skydance merger closes, sources confirm.

The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report this spring that Greenstein would be part of the upper management team installed by Ellison at the newly configured conglomerate. It’s not clear exactly what his job will be, but it’s expected to extend beyond only Paramount Pictures. Hours after this story was published, Sony confirmed Greenstein’s exit, although without mentioning Paramount.

The FCC approved the deal on July 24, but it won’t officially close until August 7 or thereabouts. It’s not clear whether Ellison will wait until then to officially announce his roster of executives beyond what’s already known.

Skydance declined to comment regarding Greenstein.

Greenstein has a longstanding relationship with Skydance chief David...

Tom Hanks Standing Alone In A Classic Portrait With Serious Expression(Photo Credit –Instagram)

While the world lovingly calls Tom Hanks “America’s Dad,” in real life, he’s a proud father to three sons—Colin, Chet, and Truman—each with their own path and talent. Tom Hanks and sons have often captured public attention for their diverse talents and individual accomplishments. He welcomed his eldest son, Colin Hanks, with his college sweetheart and first wife, the late Samantha Lewes. After their divorce in 1987, Hanks married actress and singer Rita Wilson the following year. Together, they had two more sons: Chet and Truman. Raised in different chapters of Tom’s personal and professional life, all three sons have stepped into the limelight in their own unique ways—be it acting, music, or working behind the scenes.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a sci-fi adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Melissa Mathison. The 1982 film follows Elliott, a young boy who comes across an alien and names him E.T.

Marc Maron (The Bad Guys) spends a solid 30 seconds roasting Owen Wilson (Loki) at the top of the trailer for Stick, perfectly setting the tone for the upcoming Apple TV+ series. His latest project sees Wilson in a role that would make Don, Mobius’ jet-ski-enthusiast Loki variant, proud. Also executive producing the series, Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an ex-pro golfer whose career came to a screeching halt two decades ago — but you’ll hear more about that from Maron’s character in the trailer. This is the first teaser to arrive for the sports comedy, giving audiences a taste of what’s to come when the title tees off with a three-episode premiere on Wednesday, June 4.

As mentioned, the first 30 seconds of the trailer see Maron’s character completely obliterating Wilson’s Pryce Cahill while the two sit at a full bar. Rehashing the very moment that Pryce’s...

Anxious People, written by Swedish writer Fredrik Backman, has already been adapted into a live-action Netflix limited series in 2021. But with the director of A Man Called Otto and World War Z onboard, Angelina Jolie’s upcoming movie is hoped to present the story in a new and distinct way.

The wait for the new Wes Anderson (Asteroid City) movie is almost over, and there is nothing better than a trailer to hype up fans of the filmmaker. Last week, CinemaCon attendees were treated to a first look at the highly anticipated The Phoenician Scheme, and now we can all get a sense of what the story will be like and, of course, dive again into Anderson's colorful and extremely symmetric world. The movie is set to premiere in June.

While details of The Phoenician Scheme are still kept under wraps, we do know that the movie will center on a fragile father-daughter relationship and there's quite a bit of action going on. The movie's brief official logline calls it "the story of a family and a family business." It also reveals that Benicio Del Toro (One Battle After Another) will play Zsa-zsa Korda, one of the richest men in Europe.

European film studio Hope Studios, led by Fredrik Wikström Nicastro, the veteran producer behind Sony’s hit Tom Hanks movie “A Man Called Otto,” is setting up a feature adaptation of Robin Sharma’s “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari,” the bestselling book about a life-changing journey.

Owen Wilson is taking to the golf course for the upcoming sports comedy Stick, which has received a first-look ahead of its June 4 release on Apple TV+. The streaming service is teeing the series up for a debut that will see three episodes drop at once, followed by one new episode every Wednesday until the 10th and final episode releases on July 23.

The images (seen below) reveal Wilson's character, Pryce Cahill, "an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer" whose career "derailed prematurely 20 years ago" (per Apple TV+). In the show, he returns to the green to mentor Santi, "a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom," played by Peter Dager. According to the show's official synopsis, Cahill's mentorship role comes at a turbulent time in his life as his marriage has broken down, and he also now finds himself unemployed after being fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store.

Jacob Tremblay (Room) and Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) will star in The Night House for producer Steven Schneider.

Not to be confused with David Bruckner‘s 2020 film of the same name, The Night House is based on the 2023 novel by Jo Nesbø, whose work was previously adapted in 2007’s The Snowman.

Tremblay and Paul will play different aged versions of the protagonist, Richard, in the psychological horror film. It’s set to shoot this summer in Álava, Spain.

In the wake of his parents’ recent death, high schooler Richard has been sent to live with relatives in the remote town of Ballantyne.

Watch the kindhearted Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) fall in love with Tom Hanks' Joe Fox (F-o-x) all over again in director Nora Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail (1998). The must-see romantic comedy begins streaming Feb. 1, on Hulu, which is just in time for Valentine’s Day. The film and Kelly’s quaint bookstore, The Shop Around the Corner, which is located in New York City, are both nods to the iconic holiday classic of the same name starring Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan.

You’ve Got Mail provided a fresh take on The Shop Around the Corner (1940) by making Kathleen and Joe fall in love over a series of emails they exchanged after meeting in an online chatroom. Whereas Mr. Kralik (Stewart) and Ms. Novak (Sullavan) exchanged adoring love letters as pen pals. However, the same hook remained from the classic: Neither of the characters in either film knew their pen pal...

Exclusive: Micaela Wittman and Arthur De Larroche, the indie filmmaking duo behind Remy & Arletta and Clairevoyant, are reteaming on We’re Already There, a dramedy currently in production in New York City.

De Larroche is directing from his script written with Wittman, who leads the cast. Others appearing include Truman Hanks (A Man Called Otto), Jon Bass (Miracle Workers), Elsie Hewitt (Industry), Kevin William Paul (Broadway’s The Outsiders), Jonah Feingold (At Midnight), Jessica Baglow (Gentleman Jack), electronic musician Marc Rebillet (80 for Brady), Francesca Keller (Anyone Else But Me), and Morgane Bensadoun (Blue Bloods).

A dialogue-driven film in the spirit of My Dinner with Andre, We’re Already There follows a disillusioned young artist (Wittman) as she navigates a single day in New York City, grappling with career setbacks, personal revelations, and industry politics, while juggling self-doubt and ambition in the cutthroat world of entertainment.

Joaquin Acrich and Lily Drew (Mike Birbiglia’s The Old Man & the Pool) are producing alongside Manic, the production company from Wittman & Larroche launched last summer.

The Manic duo comes to the project after collaborating on Remy & Arletta and Clairevoyant, which saw Wittman star with De Larroche directing. An adaptation of the same-name bestseller, which premiered at Outfest, the former is a coming-of-age drama that follows Wittman’s Remy as she attempts to balance her relationship with her alcoholic mother and her longtime best friend, Arletta. The film came on the heels of the duo’s 2021 mockumentary Clairevoyant, which follows a spoiled 21-year-old aspiring guru as she attempts to find the meaning of life while filming her journey with a makeshift camera crew.

As an actress, Wittman was recently announced to be starring opposite Julia Fox and Ashley Moore in the sapphic romance, Perfect. She has also been seen in Netflix’s Shirley Chisholm biopic Shirley, as well as such series as The Dropout, Sharp Objects, Atypical, Teen Wolf, and Modern Family.

De Larroche has also appeared as an actor in both Remy & Arletta and Clairevoyant, among other projects. Prior to Clairevoyant, he helmed the indie features American Bistro and If God Wants.

Focused on young adult, female-led and genre agnostic films, Manic’s initial development slate also included the action horror pic Rager, high-concept YA romance I Suck, and female buddy comedy Night on the Town, as we were first to report.

De Larroche is repped by Stewart Talent; Hanks by CAA; Bass by Gersh, Rise Management, and Ziffren Brittenham; Hewitt by Buchwald, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Myman Greenspan Fox; Paul by Artists & Representatives and Lasher Group; Feingold by UTA, Untitled Entertainment, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole; Baglow by Asteria Artists; Rebillet by UTA and Crush Works; Keller by Rebel Creative Group; and Bensadoun by Carol Shaginaw Talent Agency and Brave Artists Management.

Twenty-four years ago, Tom Hanks (A Man Called Otto) became obsessed with a volleyball and so did the world. The year was 2000, and Cast Away became one of those movies that everyone talked about. If somehow you ended up not watching it, never hearing about it, or just feel like giving it a rewatch, you'll be glad to know that the survival drama is hitting Hulu on December 1.

Tom Hanks has proven to be one of the most widely beloved and critically acclaimed American actors of all time, lending his talents to countless undeniable classics throughout each stage of his eclectic career. From all-time classics like Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan to modern critical darlings like A Man Called Otto, there is simply no end to the number of exceptional outings in Hanks's filmography. However, especially for someone like Hanks who has been hard at work in the film industry for over 40 years, not everything he's been a part of has been an a smash hit.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has published its annual report including the most complained-about films of 2023; while also reporting an increase in the number of submissions for cinema classification.

The BBFC received 148 complaints about classification decisions in 2023, up from 93 in 2020, 109 in 2021 and 84 in 2022.

Netflix is one of the best places to find the best movies and TV shows you can watch on any streaming service. Every month, it adds hundreds of new titles to its content library, but with that, there are also some titles that have got to go. So, today, we are here to tell you about the best film you should watch before it leaves Netflix in November 2024.

A Man Called Otto (November 5) Credit – Sony Pictures

A Man Called Otto is a comedy-drama film directed by Marc Foster from a screenplay by David Magee. Based on the 2012 novel A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman and its 2015 Swedish adaptation of the same name by Hannes Holm, the 2022 film follows a lonely widower who sees no purpose in life and decides to take a drastic step but when his...

Tom Hanks is speaking his mind about movie critics and how he believes one’s perceptions of a film can change over time.

The Oscar winner recently appeared on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast, where he jokingly used the phrase “cocksuckers” to describe a film critic who initially wasn’t a fan of his 1996 feature directorial debut That Thing You Do!.

“Let me tell you something about these cocksuckers who write about movies,” Hanks said, drawing laughter from O’Brien. “Can I say that?”

The Here actor continued, “Somebody who wrote about [That Thing You Do! wrote] that ‘Tom Hanks has to stop hanging around on with veterans of TV because this is just like it’s shot on TV, and it’s not much of anything.’ That same person then wrote about the cult classic That Thing You Do!. Same exact person. All you need is 20 years between now and then,...

Superhero movies will always be our guilty pleasure, no matter how old we get. Whether it’s Marvel or DC, we love seeing larger-than-life stories unfold on the screen. However, there is no denying that the superhero genre has its fair share of cynics who believe that we are going through superhero fatigue at the moment. Recently, Tom Hanks opened up about the genre and the so-called “fatigue” it’s supposedly experiencing.

The actor believes that the audience is over the flashy world of superheroes and is not looking forward to seeing fresh stories that they might find relatable. Of course, Tom Hanks isn’t the only critic when it comes to these movies but the genre also has its fair share of supporters.

One of the most versatile and timeless actors in Hollywood,...

Tom Hanks’ journey to Hollywood stardom is full of memorable moments, but one of his early, defining breakthroughs came thanks to an unexpected encounter on the beloved sitcom Happy Days. In 1982, Hanks guest-starred on the show as Dr. Dwayne Twitchell, a karate expert with a grudge against Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli, portrayed by Henry Winkler. In a pivotal scene, Hanks’ character shockingly kicked Fonzie through the stained-glass window of Al’s Drive-in, a moment that Hanks later credited as instrumental in launching his career as a leading man.

A Karate Kick led to Tom Hanks eventually finding fame! Tom Hanks | Credit: Forrest Gump/Paramount Pictures

In the Happy Days episode titled A Little Case of Revenge, Hanks portrayed Dr. Twitchell, a former schoolmate of Fonzie’s who had harbored resentment since grade school. Seeking revenge, Twitchell confronts Fonzie in full karate attire, and in a memorable twist, kicks the iconic character through a stained-glass window.

Robert Zemeckis has always been about a great technological or storytelling conceit in his movies whether it’s the live-action animated hybrid of the 3x Oscar winning Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, the insertion of Tom Hanks in famed historical footage in Oscar Best Picture Forrest Gump or the motion capture of The Polar Express.

However, his latest movie, the $50M Miramax financed and Sony released Here, which brings back together the Gump gang of Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and scribe Eric Roth, was a situation of technology outshining the story. Critics deep sixed the multi-generation family drama which takes place in one location throughout time at a fixed angle with 36% Rotten while audiences weren’t any better with a B- CinemaScore, 57% Rt audience score and 69% positive on PostTrak.

It’s no wonder that the movie opened to $5M, and it’s unfortunate box office streak for the once blockbuster mass-appealing Back to the Future,...

“Venom: The Last Dance” topped the box office again as newcomer “Here,” a fantasy drama that uses AI so Tom Hanks and Robin Wright can play younger (and older) versions of themselves, fizzled in its debut.

“Here,” which was produced and financed by Miramax and distributed by Sony, opened in fifth place with $5 million from 2,647 North American theaters. The film, which reunites the “Forrest Gump” co-stars with their director Robert Zemeckis, follows the inhabitants of a single house over the course of 100 years — allowing Hanks and Wright to portray teenagers and octogenarians across 105 minutes thanks to de-aging technology. Critics and audiences rejected the movie with a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes and “B-” grade on CinemaScore. So, word-of-mouth may not help bolster attention for “Here” in its box office run. The movie cost $45 million and needs a long life in theaters to justify that price tag.

Hanks has been a massive big screen draw over the years,...

Tom Hanks is known as Hollywood’s Dad due to his penchant for choosing good-guy roles in films. From Saving Private Ryan to Sully, the actor has rarely played characters that are grey or completely villainous. So, it was only natural that he got to play the ‘grumpiest man in the world’ in the American remake of the Swedish film A Man Called Ove.

Remade as A Man Called Otto, the film was an adaptation of Fredrik Backman’s novel and starred Hanks as the eponymous Otto. The film saw a lonely widower having to deal with a new family that moves into his neighborhood and how he connects with them. Hanks revealed why he felt that the story needed to be said for an American audience.

Tom Hanks Revealed Why He Remade A Swedish Film As A Man Called Otto Tom Hanks in A Man Called Otto | Credits: Sony Pictures...

Sony will own the first weekend of November at the box office, with the second frame of the Culver City lot’s Venom: The Last Dance down around 60%, or $20 million, for No. 1, followed by the studio’s release of Miramax’s adult drama Here.

Here, which reps the Forrest Gump reteam of filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, scribe Eric Roth and stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, is expected to do around $7M with an eye on hopefully pulling older adults out again this weekend after they made a date for Focus Features’ Conclave last weekend ($6.6M opening).

It remains to be seen whether Here slots in second place, giving Sony the frame’s 1-2 punch.

The question is whether audiences will go along with watching a generations drama story about various families on the same property/house at a skewed-degree angle. Hanks and Wright are technologically de-aged to their former 1980s/1990s selves,...

Iconic pair, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright have teamed up again for the film Here, directed by Robert Zemeckis. This is the first time the two are sharing screen after their classic film Forrest Gump which was released in 1994.

The film is considered an iconic cinematic feature, and even after decades, it continues to be popular. Released in 1994, the story of Forrest Gump was adapted on screen based on a novel of the same name written by Winston Groom.

Since the film’s release, all the major actors in the cast of Forrest Gump have undergone tremendous transformations in their careers and lives. Three decades later, let’s find out where are the cast of Forrest Gump now!

Spread out over the month, the former will hit the platform on November 6, while the latter welcomes the official holiday season alongside a slew of other similar themed projects on November 27. While both movies are very different, one is just as heartfelt as the other, because what else would you expect from a Hanks-led movie?...

Hulu offers a wide array of films and series refreshed monthly, with over 100 new movies and TV shows coming to the platform in November. Launched in 2007, Hulu has been at the forefront of the streaming service boom since the very beginning, and it's one of the most popular services thanks to its rich catalog of new and classic movies and shows. From hosting series from networks like FX and ABC to producing original films and shows, Hulu has become an indispensable source of entertainment.

October 2024 was a busy month for the platform with the return of some popular series, including What We Do in the Shadows and Abbott Elementary. There were also plenty of horror titles for the Halloween season. Looking ahead to November 2024, Hulu is once again getting into the festive season with the addition of a variety of Christmas content, including TV movies, reality specials, and holiday movie favorites.

Tom Hanks is a two-time Oscar-winner for his roles in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, and he's been nominated four more times dating back to 1989 and as recently as 2020. Hanks has had several movies streaming on Netflix for the last few months, most of which are unfortunately being dumped at the start of November. Netflix has officially announced that The Circle and The Terminal will leave the platform on October 31, with A Man Called Otto hanging around for a week longer, leaving on November 5 before heading to Hulu. The only remaining Tom Hanks movie on Netflix will be Captain Phillips, the 2013 biopic that also stars Catherine Keener and currently sits at a 93% score from critics and an 89% rating from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

November 2024 brings a diverse array of movies and shows to Hulu, catering to a wide range of tastes and interests. From classic holiday films to gripping dramas and entertaining reality series, there’s something for everyone. Viewers can dive into beloved titles like A Christmas Carol (1984) and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. For fans of action and adventure, the month features iconic films such as Aliens, Ghost Rider, and the Chronicles of Narnia series. Those seeking laughter can enjoy comedies like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Grown Ups, while romantic and family-friendly options like La La Land and Elf add a touch of warmth. Additionally, Hulu is expanding its lineup with complete seasons of popular reality shows like Are You The One?, Hoarders, and Marriage Boot Camp. The month also includes special premieres, such as the 58th Annual CMA Awards and a series on The Stanford Prison Experiment,...

October was huge for Disney+ and Hulu — but which month isn’t? After the weekly installments of “Agatha All Along” and the staple that is Huluween, the bundled streamers gear up for winter programming this November.

Disney+ continues to be the home for live episodes of “Dancing With the Stars” and the original series “Ayla & The Mirrors,” which continues to air new episodes. Along with new children’s programming and holiday specials like “An Almost Christmas Story,” the streamer will premiere “The Music of John Williams” on November 1, celebrating the acclaimed film composer and his decades-long career with new footage and interviews from those he worked with and inspired.

Tanto así que Juan comienza a preguntarse si sus habitantes podrían no estar vivos.
