Paul Walter Hauser’s interview with CinemaBlend at the “Inside Out 2” press junket is gaining traction on social media for one viral moment in which the Emmy-winning actor calls out Vin Diesel for stories about Diesel allegedly mistreating cast and crew on set. The two actors have not worked together — and it appears that Hauser is not interested due to what he’s heard about Diesel.
When the CinemaBlend interviewer told Hauser that his arc in “Inside Out 2” means “you’re like Vin Diesel now,” the actor responded: “Please don’t say that.”
“I like to think I am on time and approachable,” Hauser said, alluding to stories he’s heard that Diesel is not. “I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really well and mistreat people… I out them constantly, and it’s a blast.”

While DC has struggled to keep its interconnected live-action universe afloat, leading to the regime change back in late 2022, one thing that they’ve gotten right constantly is Batman. From Christian Bale in the 2000s to Ben Affleck in the 2010s and now Robert Pattinson in recent years, Batman has proven to be DC’s biggest cash cow over and over, and for good reason.
Considering how layered of a protagonist Bruce Wayne is, seeing different auteurs bringing in their own vision to the character is always fun, and fans are reasonably excited to see what the Dcu has stored. However, netizens have shared little interest in the idea of Hayden Christensen being the new caped crusader, who was recently asked about his verdict on playing Batman.

“Everyone is talking about the doom and gloom of our industry, but we have to get over that and be optimists,” said Donna Langley today. “I really do believe that.”
“As much as things change, they stay the same,” the Chairman of NBCU Studio Group and Chief Content Officer also declared of the media industry. “The pocketbook is being impacted by how many streaming subscriptions they have. Bundling is an inevitability.”
She was referring to the consumer financial fatigue and growing moves toward the old cable mode of bundling in the dimming digital environment.
Moving from matters of bundling, the big and small screens, the state of Peacock, AI, protecting IP and the unsteady media landscape, the seasoned exec was speaking Friday with uber-attorney Ken Ziffren onstage in the marquee event of the 48th annual UCLA Entertainment Symposium.

The Fast and Furious franchise has become one that is running on fumes due to its over-extended storylines and stretching the limit of believability with each installment. The first film was a simple one about racing, and the franchise soon turned into an espionage-esquire franchise, with parts 5-7 being its peak era.

“Fast X” and “Lupin” director Louis Leterrier will make his animation debut with “The Chimera Brigade,” an action/sci-fi series that pulls from European folklore and pop culture and turns a simple comic-book premise: What if Marie Curie’s discoveries help birth the world’s first superheroes?
Leterrier will co-direct with Antoine Charreyron (“Batwheels”), while Ron Dyens of Sacrebleu Productions acts as lead producer. The project is adapted from an award-winning comic series written by Serge Lehman and Fabrice Colin and illustrated by Gallic artist Gess.
Taking place between the two world wars in a steampunk vision of Paris evocative of Jules Verne and “The Rocketeer,” the series sets a Gallic and Teutonic superhuman squads against one another in a race to prevent – or accelerate – the next global conflict. Like a continental counterpart to Alan Moore’s “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,” the series folds in figures from European literature and mythology,...

Bad sequels are far from a rarity, as there have been numerous instances where a sequel fails to recapture the original’s spirit, and Wonder Woman 1984 is no exception. Despite dropping the ball hard with the main conflict between Batman and Superman, Dawn of Justice did succeed in doing Diana Prince’s introduction to the Dceu justice.
Moreover, this was followed by arguably the best film in the Dceu, Wonder Woman, which made waves upon its release, making Gal Gadot one of the biggest names in the business. Unfortunately, the sequel failed to live up to its universally acclaimed predecessor, and its weak antagonist isn’t the lone aspect that contributed to it.

Vin Diesel’s iconic Fast & Furious movie series is as much a meme at this point as it’s one of the most lucrative franchises in the world. After introducing Jason Momoa’s new villain Dante Reyes in Fast X, Diesel is looking to finish his story in Fast 11 — which is also supposed to be the grand finale of the entire F&f franchise.
But as we all know, the Hollywood strikes of 2023 seriously altered many production schedules, and Fast 11 was among them… Or was it?

Tyrese Gibson, one of the lead F&f stars, addressed the issue earlier this month.

Unlike the big screen adaptation of Lee Child’s acclaimed novel, which saw Tom Cruise playing the titular character, the Amazon adaptation found a book-accurate actor for the series. Considering Jack Reacher’s 6.5 ft height is one of his most recognizable features from the books, Alan Ritchson, who stands at 6.3 ft, successfully embodied the intimidating nature of the character.
But despite being huge in size, in the upcoming season, it seems Jack Reacher is finally set to be humbled by Olivier Richters, who perfectly embodies Lee Child’s idea of Paulie in the books.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is releasing to theaters on May 24th, 2024 and we’re celebrating with a giveaway!
In 1979 Mel Gibson brought the character of Max Rockatansky to life with George Miller’s cult-classic film Mad Max. He would reprise the role in two follow-up films — Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome — before Tom Hardy took the reigns for the highly celebrated Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015.
The torch is passing once more; however, this time its for the character of Furiosa, first introduced in Mad Max: Fury Road and initially portrayed by Academy Award Winner Charlize Theron (Fast X). Anya Taylor-Joy (The Super Mario Bros. Movie) stars in the prequel spin-off with filmmaker George Miller returning to the world that he created for the first time in nearly a decade. Marvel star Chris Hemsworth (Thor: Love and Thunder) also joins the cast...

George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will have some good commercial news at its back as it roars into its much-anticipated Cannes Film Festival premiere Wednesday night.
The Warner Bros. action tentpole has received censorship approval from Beijing regulators to get released in China, a source with knowledge of the decision tells The Hollywood Reporter. It will be the first film in the 45-year-old Mad Max movie franchise to open theatrically in the country, which is home to the world’s second-largest box office. Warner Bros. has applied for a June 7 release date for Furiosa, but the studio is still waiting for the final dating decision from China’s film regulators, according to THR‘s source.
Since the pandemic, Hollywood hits have been earning far less in China than they once did, as the country’s moviegoing youth have undergone a generational shift in taste towards domestic fare.

Jared Leto’s Morbius underwhelmingly performed at the global box office on its theatrical release but gained momentum when released online. Whatever the outcome went, the lead actor has already expressed his opinion on reprising his role which aligns with Fast X star, Tyrese Gibson.

The latter is currently occupied with promoting his new project, Bloodline Killer but when it comes to joining the Spider-Man Universe, he’s more open to the idea, which doesn’t fit well among the fandom.

Vin Diesel’s most famous creation, the Fast & Furious franchise has been around since 2001. For over two decades, it has been steadily evolving (or devolving?) from street racing action movies to movies with international espionage, cars going to space, and people being revived every other second — and lost some of its original fans thanks to that. The F&f movies have long lost their original ground.
But according to star Tyrese Gibson, that finally changes with Fast 11!
Fast & Furious Goes Back to Its Roots
Believe it or not, despite the F&f movies having been only getting progressively bigger in terms of scale and events, Fast 11 isn’t about to continue with this trend. The finale of Vin Diesel’s iconic franchise will be more grounded than the previous installments, more down-to-earth — at least, that’s what Tyrese is saying.

Two of-the-moment actors are leading a package headed to the Cannes market next week. Greta Lee, star of last year’s Oscar-nominated “Past Lives” and a SAG nominee for “The Morning Show,” and Kingsley Ben-Adir, whose starring vehicle “Bob Marley: One Love” exceeded box office expectations and who played Malcolm X in the three-time Oscar-nominated “One Night in Miami…,” are teaming with the reliable workhorse director Louis Leterrier in a new science fiction project called “11817.”

Vin Diesel has been a part of a slew of major franchises that have built quite the reputation for the star in the industry. From films like Guardians of the Galaxy to classic blockbusters like the Fast and the Furious franchise, the actor has been a part of some great IP, giving him significant leverage in the industry.

However, despite all the say the actor would have in the industry, it is ultimately the studio that has the final say on certain things, especially when box office returns on a particular story seem less than satisfactory. Vin Diesel found himself in a similar issue with Riddick, the third installment in his science fiction franchise that started with 2000’s Pitch Black.

Confirming Tyrese Gibson’s earlier comments, Fast & Furious 11 begins filming in January 2025, director Louis Leterrier says, with its release planned for June the following year.
Given how quiet Universal’s been about the whole production, the original plan to have Fast & Furious 11 in cinemas by April 2025 was sounding increasingly unlikely with each passing day. Backing up Tyrese Gibson’s comments from earlier in the month, director Louis Leterrier has confirmed that the sequel won’t begin filming in January 2025 – which will have an inevitable knock-on effect on its release date.
Talking to Collider, Leterrier said that he wouldn’t even be starting pre-production on Fast 11 until the 16th September this year – the reason being he has another film, a sci-fi horror film called 11817 in the works until the day before.

Vin Diesel is set to enter production on Riddick: Furya, the anticipated fourth installment of the Riddick franchise, on August 26.
Shooting in Germany, Spain and the U.K., this follow-up to the sci-fi films Pitch Black (2000), The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) and Riddick (2013) reunites Diesel with writer-director David Twohy. Diesel reprises his role as the anti-hero Richard B. Riddick, a dangerous escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the galaxy.
In Riddick: Furya, Riddick finally returns to his home world, a place he barely remembers and one he fears might be left in ruins. But there he finds other Furyans fighting for their existence against a new monster. And some of these Furyans are more like Riddick than he could have ever imagined.
Diesel will produce for One Race Films, alongside Samantha Vincent. Thorsten Schumacher for Rocket Science and Lars Sylvest for Thank You Studios will also produce alongside Joe Neurauter.

Those that can’t wait for yet another Fast and Furious movie might want to pump the brakes a bit because director Louis Leterrier has announced that it won’t be pulling into theaters until 2026. That said, things will be shifting into high gear later this year as the franchise heads towards the finish line with Fast 11.
Speaking with Collider, Fast 11 director Leterrier teased that “It’s happening. It’s happening very, very soon. I’m able to shoot a little horror movie this summer. I’m finishing my horror movie on September 15th, and I start Fast on September 16th.” This would indicate pre-production, as he added that filming itself would start in early 2025.

Fast forward more than 20 years later, the Fast & Furious franchise is still alive and remains one of the most popular and lucrative franchises in history.

It all started back in 2001, when a car chase action movie was released. Fast forward more than 20 years later, the Fast & Furious franchise is still alive and… relatively well, even after ten feature-length movies, several shorts, and a spin-off television series. And while the most recent installment, Fast X, had a modest run and did not do as well as the previous movies, a standalone sequel is still in the works, as well as a proper sequel, tentatively titled Faxt XI, which is supposedly going to be the final installment in the series as a whole. Whether that is true will be seen, but we do know that the movie has been pushed back to a 2026 release.
While the film did not have a proper release window, it was expected to air much earlier, probably sometime in 2025, but it has now been officially confirmed that the movie is coming...

Director Louis Leterrier moves into the horror genre with the upcoming film 11817, Deadline reports today.
Rocket Science is presenting the project to buyers in Cannes.
“The film watches as inexplicable forces trap a family of four inside their house indefinitely. As both modern luxuries and life or death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn how to be resourceful to survive and outsmart who — or what — is keeping them trapped.”
Matthew Robinson (The Invention of Lying) wrote the screenplay.
“Directing projects where the audience gets behind the characters has always been my focus. However complex, flawed, heroic, we identify with them as we live through their journey,” said Leterrier. “It’s what excites me about 11817‘s wholly original concept and the family at the heart of our story. This is an experience that movie audiences won’t forget.”
