Over the weekend, the final episode of “The Penguin” spinoff from “The Batman” series aired, leaving fans delighted by its portrayal of a captivating Batman villain. Every Batman enthusiast acknowledges that these antagonists are just as intriguing as the Caped Crusader themselves and deserve their own complex narratives. The success of this series has sparked hopes among DC followers for more films or television shows delving into the villains that make Batman comics so exhilarating. Among these, there’s one character that fans can never seem to get enough of – the Joker, Batman’s arch-nemesis. If “The Penguin” has shown us anything, it’s that audiences are yearning for thought-provoking narratives and characters as complex as The Joker, a figure notorious for his intricate past and tormented psyche.

Prior to making a splash among horror enthusiasts this year with his acclaimed low-budget indie production titled “Oddity”, Damian Mc Carthy had already directed his first feature film in 2020, which has so far been a largely overlooked gem. Thanks to Shudder, Mc Carthy’s debut film, “Caveat”, is now accessible for streaming on their platform. If you found “Oddity” chilling, I recommend not missing out on this one as it offers the same level of terror.

Gareth Edwards, who’s known for movies such as “Godzilla”, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and “The Creator”, has been chosen to direct the upcoming movie in the “Jurassic” series, titled “Jurassic World: Rebirth“. According to his statements in the next issue of Empire Magazine, he’s making an effort to deliver what fans anticipate – a product that aligns with the original film.

On the first day of its release, Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans’ film “Red One” led the domestic box office, earning approximately $11 million. The query now remains if it will reach its goal and open with an impressive $30 million.

Alexander Payne initially had humble predictions for the movie “Sideways“, which premiered in fall 2004 as an understated indie about a comical buddy road trip through picturesque California wine country. With an approximate production cost of $16 million, the film eventually grossed over $100 million globally and received an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay, along with nominations for best picture, best director, best supporting actor (Thomas Haden Church), and best supporting actress (Virginia Madsen).
