“Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” Trailer Is As Magical As It Gets

Nikoleta P — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 06:16:00 +0000

We’ve seen the Now You See Me franchise bring some magic to the big screen time and time again, and the third movie in this series will soon do the same. The first trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is as magical as it gets, and it introduces us to a new generation of young illusionists.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t will reunite us with our favorite team of illusionists, The Four Horsemen, while also introducing us to “a new generation of illusionists performing mind-melding twists, turns, surprises, and magic unlike anything ever captured on film.”

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, and Morgan Freeman will reprise their roles from the first two films in the magician heist series, and they’ll be in pretty good company. Rosamund Pike joined the franchise as the film’s main villain, while Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt are set to play the new generation of young illusionists.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t will premiere on November 14, and its sequel is already in the works. Lionsgate‘s Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson confirmed they’re plotting another installment at CinemaCon earlier this month, with Ruben Fleischer set to return as a director.

“Heartstopper” Ending With a Netflix Movie Instead of Getting Season 4

Dan J — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 06:29:00 +0000

Heartstopper took us on one wild ride over the course of three seasons, but it’s not getting the fourth. Netflix won’t be renewing the beloved coming-of-age drama for Season 4, and they’re planning to wrap up Nick and Charlie’s love story with a feature-length movie instead.

Based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novel of the same name, Heartstopper chronicles the blooming romance between two very different British teens – the high-strung overthinker Charlie and the soft-hearted rugby player Nick.

The new Netflix film will pick up where Season 3 left off, and it will see Nick and Charlie trying to navigate the reality of a long-distance relationship. Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet as Nick prepares to go to university, leaving Charlie to find new independence at school.

Kit Connor and Joe Locke will be back as Nick and Charlie, and they’ll also executive produce the final Heartstopper film. The rest of the cast is yet to be announced, but it will most likely include the original cast members Yasmin Finney, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Rhea Norwood, and Olivia Colman.

Oseman is returning to pen the script of this coming-of-age film, based on the sixth and final Heartstopper graphic novel. The production will kick off later this summer, with Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice, Colette) serving as the director.

A-List Cast of Sam Mendes’ Four “The Beatles” Movies Confirmed

Ava K — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 06:57:00 +0000

After months of rumors about the casting of Sam Mendes’ The Beatles movies, the Oscar-winning director finally made things official. Joseph Quinn, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, and Harris Dickinson will officially star in his four interconnected films about the members of the Fab Four.

Sam Mendes shared the details about this project during Sony’s CinemaCon presentation and described The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event as the “first bingable theatrical experience.”

“I had been trying to do a film for years, but I finally gave up because the story was too big for one film… There had to be a way to tell the epic story for a new generation … I can assure you there is still plenty left to explore, and I think we found a way to do that,” said Mendes at CinemaCon.

The cast of this cinematic experience will be led by Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Harris Dickinson as John Lennon. Each member of The Beatles will get his own film, which will give the audience a chance to understand them more deeply.

The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will be released in April 2028, while the principal photography on the four films will take a full year.

Dan J — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 06:26:00 +0000

Celine Song made quite a splash with her directorial debut Past Lives, and her second movie is just around the corner. Materialists stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, and the first full trailer sees their characters navigating a complicated love triangle.

Materialists stars Johnson as a modern-day matchmaker who became a true star of New York’s social scene after helping many people find their one true love.

Johnson, Evans, and Pascal will be joined by an impressive roster of supporting actors, including Zoë Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, Louisa Jacobson, Sawyer Spielberg, Eddie Cahill, and Fernando Belo.

Materialists is the second film of the acclaimed filmmaker Celine Song, who broke into the scene with her directorial debut Past Lives. This tender romance drama received nods for best picture and best original screenplay at the Oscars, in addition to many other prestigious accolades.

Materialists will be released in the United States on June 13 by A24 and by Sony Pictures Releasing internationally.
