The Batman II Script Is Complete, DP Greig Fraser’s Return Not Certain Yet

Following two years of excitement, it appears that the production of The Batman Part II by Matt Reeves is progressing quite well, but there’s some potentially disappointing news as well. The upcoming sequel will precede the critically acclaimed spinoff The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell, without featuring Robert Pattinson’s Batman. However, fans can take solace in the fact that they won’t have to wait much longer for The Batman Part II, as the script has been finalized after years of development. Yet, there remains a question mark over an essential element of the franchise.

James McAvoy Is Ridiculously Unhinged in Speak No Evil

scarcely any actors can captivate cinema-goers as effectively as the versatile and gifted James McAvoy, whose ability to adapt for every character he plays is nothing short of remarkable.

The upcoming 2024 psychological horror film, “Speak No Evil” represents the latest platform for McAvoy to display his extraordinary talent range.

Blue Thunder Is One of the Most Underrated Action Movies of the ’80s

In the 80s, it was simpler for audiences to let go of disbelief in movie theaters nationwide. This allowed movies like “Blue Thunder,” starring Roy Scheider, to be a huge success, earning $42 million in 1983 – twice its budget. The helicopter-centric action plot foreshadowed “Top Gun” and combined elements of fighter pilot films with the emerging helicopter and computer technology of the early ’80s. It was an intriguing period, sandwiched between times, as neo-noir films such as “8 Million Ways to Die” and “To Live and Die in LA” glamorized the ex-military LAPD officers who starred in many gritty ’80s crime movies. Directors like Hal Ashby, William Friedkin, and John Badham, director of “Blue Thunder,” were experimenting with a style popularized by 70s films like “The French Connection,” but with a less intellectual – and more high-energy – approach.
