Netflix Buys Taika Waititi’s Stop-Motion Film ‘Bubbles’ About Michael Jackson’s Pet Chimp
Over the past few days, the Netflix-Cannes Film Festival debate has been reaching new heights. This morning news arrived that the streaming platform/studio has purchased the rights to Bubbles, which is not a movie about the delightful little spheres of soap fill with air, but about Michael Jackson's pet chimp.
Emma Stone and Steve Carell Square Off in First Trailer for Tennis Drama ‘Battle of the Sexes’
“Tennis drama” sounds like one big snooze of a subgenre, but before you close this tab, hear me out – Battle of the Sexes ain’t just any tennis drama.

Jimmy Kimmel Will Be Back to Host the 90th Oscars Ceremony

J.K. Rowling is a pretty gracious woman. Beyond giving us the Wizarding World, regularly answering Harry Potter fan questions on Twitter, and annually apologizing for character deaths, she also gives back a little.

Now someone has stolen that rare prequel, because the world is full of ungrateful muggles.
New ‘Wonder Woman’ TV Spot Teases the Film’s Action and Sense of Humor
Things have been relatively quiet on the promotional front for Patty Jenkins‘ Wonder Woman, which is not only the first solo female superhero movie in 12 years (2005’s Elektra was the last), but the very first from a female director. It’s especially odd considering all the promo for the film that’s come out previously has looked nothing short of exciting – that first trailer and the stunning posters had me sold immediately. But finally, Warner Bros. is rolling out a little more material to get fans excited.
New ‘Dark Tower’ Motion Posters Tease the Trailer Is Finally, Actually, Coming Tomorrow
If you read our summer movie preview yesterday you might have seen The Dark Tower on our list and thought, ‘Wait, what?! That’s coming out in August?’ Yes, your eyeballs will finally see the long awaited Stephen King adaptation in just three months, but the average moviegoer wouldn’t know it from the complete lack of marketing. We haven’t even seen a trailer yet, and last month the release was pushed back a week. But now, finally, we have officially confirmation of the trailer’s arrival.
Gal Gadot Describes the ‘Powerful’ Moment Diana Becomes ‘Wonder Woman’
We’ve already seen those awesome slow-mo shots of Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince charging through the war-torn battlefield in the Wonder Woman trailers. Her red and gold armour shines against the backdrop of the smoky blues and browns of the European battleground.
