2024 is nearing its end, and it’s enjoyable to look back at the fantastic movies that captivated audiences throughout the year. Whether it was heartfelt animated stories or grandiose superhero productions, intense dramas or catchy musicals, cinemas showcased a variety of critically-acclaimed films that also shined at the box office worldwide.
Netflix has unveiled plans for a fresh comedy called “Little Brother” and has roped in WWE sensation John Cena to join forces with renowned comedian Eric André. The screenwriters have been confirmed, with Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel (of “The D Train” and “Yes Man“) penning the script. However, neither the director nor the release date has been disclosed as of yet. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the storyline of “Little Brother” centers around a successful real estate agent whose tranquil existence is disrupted when his peculiar younger brother unexpectedly reappears in his life.
Tim Allen solidified his status as a versatile performer across both large and small screens when he led the 1994 holiday movie “The Santa Clause”. This heartwarming tale revolves around Scott Calvin, a toy marketing director, who unexpectedly inherits the responsibilities of the jolly old Saint Nick after accidentally causing the real Santa’s death. Scott embarks on an extraordinary journey, both physical and spiritual, to prepare for his new role before Christmas Eve, battling his own doubts with support from his son and dedicated elves.
Science fiction films provide an engaging escape from everyday life while also addressing concerns about the future, making them particularly relevant in today’s context. The year 2025 promises a wealth of cinematic offerings, with many sci-fi titles among them. Upcoming movies include original tales (“Elio,” “Flowervalley Street”), reimagined classics (“Bugonia,” “The Running Man”), and adaptations from beloved literature (we’ll see two distinct takes on “Frankenstein” by Maggie Gyllenhaal and Guillermo del Toro). However, sequels often receive the most anticipation. Given that people are naturally drawn to movies that continue the worlds and stories they cherish, it makes perfect sense.
It’s well-known that Hollywood filmmaker Darren Aronofsky spent a decade searching for a suitable overweight actor for the movie “The Whale”, eventually focusing on Brendan Fraser.
