In the lead up to Aladdin's release, a lot has been said about Will Smith being cast as the genie. I wasn't opposed to the former Fresh Prince inhabiting the role, but I worried that the character would look like some awful abomination of C...
Liam Neeson is a very accomplished actor with an extraordinary acting range and physical talent. It's a shame that ever since his appearance in 2008's Taken, he's basically been in the same role film after film. That is certainly underselli...
There's an old saying that goes, "less is more." The meaning behind it is that showing us less will build more hype and excitement than if you just explain the entire thing. I'm guessing whoever cut the newest trailer for the upcoming Pet S...
Ever since Denis Villeneuve announced that he would be directing a Dune movie, I've been excited to see how the film would materialize. Despite the legendary status of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel, there's only been a few stabs at t...
Welcome back to the second and final part of this in-depth look at Luca Guadagnino’s homage/remake of Suspiria. It was one of the most divisive horror movies of 2018, and while I admire the film, I’m still not sure if I necessar...
Disney seems to be handing us a big old dose of nostalgia in the past few years, and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. It was announced by Deadline that The Hunchback of Notre Dame is getting a new live-action makeover. The new t...
Luca Guadagnino’s homage to Suspiria was one of the most divisive films of 2018. I mentioned in my review a few months ago that I wasn’t sure if I even liked the new Suspiria, but it was a movie that I couldn’t just d...
It's Thanksgiving, time for board games, booze, American football, and gluttony. While everyone in America is sitting on the couch processing their gigantic meal, the first trailer for Disney's CGI remake of The Lion King dropped during t...
Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria is going to piss off so many people. Fans of Dario Argento’s 1977 original will be enraged by the changes. Fans of Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name will be appalled by how brutal, gruesome, and ...
We've got more Disney live-action movie news for you. Apparently, Lady Gaga is interested in taking on the role of Ursula the Sea-Witch in the live-action adaption of The Little Mermaid. This past summer it was reported that this role was o...
If you happen to love all things Disney like I do, and have been keeping up with their live-action adaptions of their classic films, then you will love what Will Smith just showed off today. In an Instagram post, the new Genie showed off th...
The scariest child in cinematic history is Miko Hughes ("that kid" from the 90s) in the original Pet Semetary. Screw that kid and his terrorizing of my childhood dreams. It looks, however, like there's a new host of creepy children se...
Netflix hosted Friday’s final event on the main stage of the 2018 New York City Comic Con. It was appropriate titled, Netflix and Chills. But as the host was quick to point out -- this was the seasonally appropriate kind of Netflix &a...
I feel like I've been availed with trailers for A Star is Born since last year. This movie has a lot going on so it needed the head start: Bradley Cooper writing, producing and directing, Lady Gaga (billed as Lady Gaga) in her fir...
After It was such a smash hit everyone is scrambling on board the Stephen King adaptation train, and the next one to land is long-in-gestation new adaptation of Pet Semetary, which was already fantastically and creepily done back in 19...
Eddie Murphy is set to star in a film inspired by 1993’s Grumpy Old Men. The flick, about two ornery sons of guns who’ve just discovered Viagra, and their hot neighbor, should never be remade though. This is in no way sugge...
Of all the 80/90s horror icons Candyman might have been the most legitimately scary. While the likes of Freddy and Jason were simply pouring blood across the screen Candyman induced actual nightmares. Anyone who was a kid back that had...
A new trailer for Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria remake sets to detail the witches that bring pain and torment through the world, known as the Three Mothers. As the Mother of Sighs, Suspiriorum, Tilda Swinton exudes a sort of dangerous mystici...
The Disney live-action remakes might be my biggest film surprise of the last decade. What at first seemed like Disney making cash crabs at the rampant desire for nostalgia in the world has become a series of increasingly good movi...
Warner Bros. and Robert Zemeckis are in final negotiations for him to direct a remake of Roald Dhal's The Witches. This is meant to be a more direct adaptation of the book in which a boy returns to England with his grandmother, an ex witcho...
Amazon Studios has just released the first official trailer for Luca Guadagnino's upcoming Suspiria remake, and it actually looks pretty good! Suspiria, as a classic of supernatural horror, has few equals in the genre. It made Dario Argent...
Gary Whitta, screenwriter for Rogue One, shared on Twitter that he and Jonathan Betuel have a project in the works. Since Jonathan Betuel wrote the original The Last Starfighter, and the new concept art by Rogue One's Matt Al...
Shout! Studios have picked up the U.S. distribution rights to Jen and Sylvia Soska's upcoming remake of David Cronenberg's 1977 body horror, Rabid. The film is set to begin filming in April, though no casting details have dropped as of yet....
In anticipation of its release in less than a month, the team behind Eli Roth's Death Wish released a new red band trailer in the style of grindhouse movies that have played an integral role in Roth's love of movies. The style while seeming...
And the live action adaptions continue. We've known that Disney has been and will be rolling out live action versions of their classic movies until they don't have anymore to adapt, and the next one on the docket is The Lion King. With the ...
Deadline is reporting that Sony and James Gunn are teaming up to bring Starsky and Hutch back into action as a new TV series. If you recall either the original show or the comedic movie based on the series, it's about two cops, who deal wit...
The Joker's already set to appear in two DC Unilaterally-bad-verse movies: a Suicide Squadsequel, and the Harley Quinn spinoff. Both will reportedly feature Jared Leto reprising his role as Mr. J. Wait, you might be asking yourself rig...
On Tuesday it was confirmed that Anya Taylor-Joy, star of The Witch (which I will henceforth refer to by it's much cooler stylized title) and M. Night Shyamalan's Split was in talks to reunite with director Robert Eggers for the long report...
Jon Feltheimer, formerly known as the CEO of Lionsgate, now known as the man who made teenage dreams come true, told Wall Street investors that there is no way his studio won't make more Twilight movies about angsty teenage vampires and the...
IT is finally here. Or the remake of it is finally here. Stephen King's classic horror story already had a TV version that made us all insanely afraid of clowns (or at least Tim Curry dressed up as a clown), but now we get to be s...
The Mummy isn't doing so hot. Poor reviews and a lackluster box office have put the entire Dark Universe cinematic universe in jeopardy. That might not be a bad thing, though. I mean, do we really need an Invisible Man movie starring Johnny...
Flatliners has been revived. Someone failed to note the DNR checked box on the back of it's 1990, expired driver's license and gave it a few thousand volts from a defibrillator. You're welcome. Because it's been 27 years and because it exis...
Dario Argento's Suspiria is one of the great Italian horror films. Released in 1977, it plays out like a colorful, strange, dreamlike supernatural fairy tale. I've never found it scary, but its visual style and bright color palate make it e...
We haven't heard much about Disney's live action Aladdin prequel. In fact, it's been close to two years since we posted news here on Flixist, and that was basically just to say that they are in fact working on one. But now that Beauty and t...
It, the re-clown-boot, which previously underwhelmed, nay, whelmed with first look material has put on its big boy clown pants for this new teaser trailer (clocking in at a full 2:32). Allow me to say, I'm intrigued again. No more quips. No...
It's been a long time and many children later since Angelina Jolie donned the tank top and short shorts of Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider. So, needless to say, we are owed, nay due a remake, or a reboot, or a relaunch, or something. I forgot o...
We happen to be massive fans of Gareth Evans films The Raid and The Raid 2: Berandal. This is mostly because he is possibly the best action director working and because they are some of the best action movies ever. So you can imagine t...
While Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann didn't live up to its initial hype for me, I came to appreciate the film's thoughtful, funny, and rather sad exploration of child/parent relationships in adulthood. The movie made my top 15 films of 2016 ...
Joining shows getting remade for the screen like The A-Team, 21 Jump Street, and Baywatch, is CHiPs, a show practically everyone forgot about. And like 21 Jump Street, this new Chips is trying to be a goofy buddy comedy that would reinvigor...
I've been looking forward to Disney's live action Beauty and the Beast remake for a while now, and despite a funky looking Beast, every bit of footage we've seen has been fantastic. But Disney has smartly held off the film's all-important s...
