‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ Reportedly Coming Straight to Streaming

Published

Wonder Woman

Warner Bros. is currently in talks to release Wonder Woman 1984 direct to VOD platforms. This would place Wonder Woman in the same boat as what we have seen recently from The Invisible Man and The Hunt. The primary difference being that those films were already technically in theaters.

TheWrap reports that Warner Pictures Group Chairman, Toby Emmerich is in preliminary talks with his top brass on the subject. It could be true considering all things but there also seems to be some miscommunication in the channel. However, Warner President of Domestic Distribution Jeff Goldstein has said that there have not been any such talks.

In addition Charles Roven and Patty Jenkins have not been part of those talks. Roven told The Wrap “It’s ludicrous if you consider how big a movie this is.” on the subject of Wonder Woman going to streaming.

Is it even an option at this point? Theater chains could be shut down for the next 12 weeks. Where does that put Wonder Woman: 1984 on the release slate at that point? Plus, without a press tour this release would be entirely different.

Wonder Woman 1984 would be the first tentpole film to fall into this new world of distribution category. The above mentioned films that have turned up on VOD come with at $19.99 price tag for a rental. No word on if Wonder Woman would fall into that same price range just yet.

Personally, I’m not a fan of watching big films like this on any TV, no matter the size of the screen. These are films that I’ll attempt to wait out. Luckily, I saw Invisible Man and The Hunt at the cinema before they shut down.

As of right now Wonder Woman 1984’s theatrical release is still slated for June 4.

What do you guys think? Do you think Wonder Woman should wait till theaters can play it or, do you think this is a good option? Will you watch at home?

New Windswept Action Trailer for ‘Twisters’ Will Blow You Away

Published

on

The summer movie blockbuster game came in soft with The Fall Guy, but the new trailer for Twisters is bringing back the magic with an intense trailer full of action and suspense. Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin, is behind this newest disaster film just like its 1996 predecessor.

This time Daisy Edgar-Jones plays the female lead named Kate Cooper, “a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.”

Twisters cast includes Nope’s Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).

Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and hits theaters on July 19.

Travis Kelce Joins Cast on Ryan Murphy’s ‘Grotesquerie’

Football star Travis Kelce is going Hollywood. At least that is what Dahmer Emmy award-winning star Niecy Nash-Betts announced on her Instagram page yesterday. She posted a video of herself on set of the new Ryan Murphy FX series Grotesquerie.

“This is what happens when WINNERS link up‼️ @killatrav Welcome to Grostequerie[sic]!” she wrote.

Standing just out of frame is Kelce who suddenly steps in to say, “Jumping into new territory with Niecy!” Nash-Betts appears to be in a hospital gown while Kelce is dressed as an orderly.

Not much is known about Grotesquerie, other than in literary terms it means a work filled with both science fiction and extreme horror elements. Think H.P. Lovecraft.

Back in February Murphy released an audio teaser for Grotesquerie on social media. In it, Nash-Betts says in part, “I don’t know when it started, I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s different now. There’s been a shift, like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole that descends into a nothingness…”

There hasn’t been an official synopsis released regarding Grotesquerie, but keep checking back to iHorror for further details.

“Series creator Johannes Roberts, and screenwriter Ernest Riera, who wrote the first two films, have co-written the third installment: 47 Meters Down: The Wreck.” Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine) will direct.

The first two films were a moderate success, released in 2017 and 2019 respectively. The second film is titled 47 Meters Down: Uncaged

47 Meters Down

The plot for The Wreck is detailed by Deadline. They write that it involves a father and daughter trying to repair their relationship by spending time together scuba diving into a sunken ship, “But soon after their descent, their master diver has an accident leaving them alone and unprotected inside the labyrinth of the wreck. As tensions rise and oxygen dwindles, the pair must use their newfound bond to escape the wreck and the relentless barrage of bloodthirsty great white sharks.”

The filmmakers are hoping to present the pitch to the Cannes market with production starting in the fall. 

47 Meters Down: The Wreck is the perfect continuation of our shark-filled franchise,” said Byron Allen, founder/chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group. “This film will once again have moviegoers terrified and on the edge of their seats.”

Johannes Roberts adds, “We can’t wait for audiences to be trapped underwater with us again. 47 Meters Down: The Wreck is going to be the biggest, most-intense film of this franchise.”
