A new Marvel Cinematic Universe scoop has unveiled a fascinating deleted scene from Venom: The Last Dance, offering fans a thrilling glimpse of a multiverse-spanning threat.

In the scene, Eddie Brock is seen traversing the shadowy void between realities, a perilous journey that teases the immense power of Knull, the ancient entity who lurks in this liminal space. This moment not only confirms long-standing fan theories about Knull’s multiversal influence but also sets the stage for his potential future role.

Fans of Venom and its sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, may recall the blend of humor and horror, such as Venom’s unexpected dance sequence while evading the terrifying Xenophage.

This tonal balance carries into the third installment, which begins with Eddie’s return to his original reality after his brief encounter with Earth-616. Interestingly, the portal that brings him back has a dark, shadowy appearance reminiscent of...

In the latest scoop from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a deleted scene from ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ has surfaced, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of a multiverse-spanning menace.

The scene shows Eddie Brock navigating the murky void between realities, a journey that hints at the formidable powers of Knull, a creature that dwells in this in-between space, confirming fan theories about his multiversal influence.

Fans of ‘Venom‘ and its sequel ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ may remember the screenplay’s light-hearted moments, such as Venom’s unexpected dance sequence while fleeing the fearsome Xenophage.

This third installment starts with Eddie being whisked back to his home reality after a brief stint on Earth-616, marking his return through a portal reminiscent of Knull’s, rather than the glowing effects we saw in the ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ post-credits scene.

The curiosity deepens as this deleted clip provides a peek at the Lethal...

Like Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage before it, Venom: The Last Dance didn't boast the strongest screenplay. That was evident when the Symbiote, on the run from the Xenophage, fully transformed for a dance number despite repeatedly saying that doing so would bring the near-unstoppable monster bearing down on him.

In the opening few minutes of the threequel, Eddie Brock is sent back to his reality following a brief trip to Earth-616; however, in an unexpected and still-unexplained retcon, he travels through a portal like the ones Knull uses rather than the glowing effect seen in Spider-Man: No Way Home's post-credits stinger.

In a newly revealed deleted scene from Venom: The Last Dance, we find Eddie travelling through the apparent void between realities. A shadowy creature, presumably a Xenophage, spots the Lethal Protector and his Codex, likely revealing how the King in Black learned of its existence.

Venom: The Last Dance arrived on Digital platforms earlier this week and is now available to watch at home. Today, we're delighted to share an exclusive clip from the threequel's featurettes titled "Bonded In Chaos: Tom Hardy."

Exploring the duality of his roles as Eddie Brock and Venom, we hear from Clark Backo (Sadie), Peggy Lu (Mrs. Chen), Rhys Ifans (Martin), and Stephen Graham (Partick Mulligan) on the unique experience of sharing the screen with the actor.

There's also some great behind-the-scenes footage of the Area 51 battle and Eddie and Venom's ill-fated trip to Las Vegas.

It's unclear what the future holds in store for Hardy as Venom; the actor has said repeatedly that this movie was a farewell to the role, while it's been reported that the idea was to shift focus to Agent Venom next.

Those plans may have been scrapped following the reported conclusion of Sony's...

This week brings A24’s latest horror film and Sony’s final Venom movie home, alongside the next nightmare from the French duo behind hits including Inside and The Deep House.

Here’s all the new horror released on Tuesday, December 10, 2024!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

Fresh off a Golden Globes nomination for Hugh Grant, A24’s new horror movie Heretic from directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods has made its debut on at-home Digital today.

You can rent the film for $19.99 or purchase it for $24.99.

Hugh Grant (D&d: Honor Among Thieves), Chloe East (The Fabelmans) and Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”) lead the cast of the upcoming horror movie. In the film…

“Two missionaries are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed, becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.”

Meagan Navarro...

With Sony's Spider-Man Universe reportedly at an end, Venom: The Last Dance may be the last movie featuring the Lethal Protector we get for quite some time...unless those Spider-Man 4 rumours prove to be correct, of course.

The threequel hit Digital platforms today and Fandango has just shared the first 10 minutes of the movie. In that, we get the opening prologue with Andy Serkis' Knull, the weird Spider-Man: No Way Home retcon that sees Eddie Brock return to his reality via a completely different type of portal, and a fun clash between the anti-hero and some local thugs.

By now, we're sure you're aware that Venom: The Last Dance set out to establish the King in Black as a major antagonist in a future movie. We don't know whether that's Spider-Man 4 or the presumably now-scrapped Agent Venom project (there's even been chatter about Knull being Sinister Six's...

A third film in the Marvel Comics-inspired Venom franchise made its way through production last year, shutting down for several months along the way due to the Screen Actors Guild strike. The film, titled Venom: The Last Dance, reached theatres back in October and has earned over $472 million at the global box office… making it the least successful entry in the franchise, since Venom made $856 million and Venom: Let There Be Carnage made $501 million. It has been given a digital release as of today, December 10th – but if you’re holding out for the physical media release, you don’t have long to wait. Venom: The Last Dance will be reaching 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 21st, and copies are available for pre-order on Amazon!

Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Venom: The Last Dance are also being packaged together in a 4K trilogy box set, and the...

Bring home the chaos when Venom: The Last Dance hits Digital tomorrow, December 10, and SteelBook 4K Uhd, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 21 via Sony.

Venom: 3-Movie Collection also arrives on January 21, collecting The Last Dance and its predecessors, 2018’s Venom and 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage, on 4K Uhd + Blu-ray + Digital along with a limited edition action figure.

The figure, which comes with swappable symbiote arms, will be available separately with a Digital copy of The Last Dance.

The conclusion to the Venom trilogy is written and directed by Kelly Marcel, who penned the previous two installments.

Tom Hardy stars as Eddie Brock and Venom with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Stephen Graham, Peggy Lu, Clark Backo, Alanna Ubach, and Andy Serkis.

Special Features include:

There have been rumblings that Venom: The Last Dance might arrive on Digital platforms as soon as this week and Sony Pictures has now confirmed it will be available to watch at home starting tomorrow.

This comes after the threequel ended its theatrical run with $472 million, the franchise's lowest haul. It's unclear whether special features will be included in this release, though we recently got a leaked look at those.

Sony is one of the only studios to hang on for as long as possible when it comes to the gap between a theatrical and Digital release.

For the most part, it's an approach that's paid off, though Kraven the Hunter might premiere at home much quicker than Venom: The Last Dance if recent box office projections are any indication of what's in store for that movie.

Some new VFX stills from Venom: The Last Dance have also been released...

A third film in the Marvel Comics-inspired Venom franchise made its way through production last year, shutting down for several months along the way due to the Screen Actors Guild strike. The film, titled Venom: The Last Dance, reached theatres back in October and has earned over $472 million at the global box office… making it the least successful entry in the franchise, since Venom made $856 million and Venom: Let There Be Carnage made $501 million. Now, Venom: The Last Dance is ready to come home, as SuperHeroHype reports that it will be receiving a digital release this week, on December 10th.

The first Venom was scripted by Jeff Pinker, Scott Rosenberg, and Kelly Marcel. Ruben Fleischer directed that film, which made $856 million. But then Fleischer turned his focus to making Zombieland: Double Tap and Uncharted – so Andy Serkis took over as director on Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Which was written by Kelly Marcel,...

It was a Kneecap sweep at the 2024 British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs) in London on Sunday night as Sean Baker’s Anora was named best international indie film.

The cheeky Belfast-based rap trio have become the talk of the town with their “print the legend” biopic, picking up four craft awards at the BIFAs. The team nabbed three more on Sunday: Chiwetel Ejiofor presented the award for best British independent film to director Rich Peppiatt, who also earned best debut screenwriter. Best joint lead went to trio Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and J.J. Ó Dochartaigh, who played themselves.

The film won seven BIFAs in total, including the craft wins, announced in November: best casting sponsored for Carla Stronge, best editing for Julian Ulrichs and Chris Gill, best original music for Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante and best music supervision for Gary Welch and Jeanette Rehnstrom.

“It’s a real honor to be here,...

Irish comedy Kneecap dominated this evening’s British Independent Film Awards in London winning seven awards, including Best British Independent Film.

Chiwetel Ejiofor presented the award for Best British Independent Film supported by ScreenUK, to Kneecap, Rich Peppiatt’s comedy following the west Belfast hip-hop trio and their mission to save their mother tongue.

“There’s an irony in the best British film being Irish,” director Rich Peppiatt said accepting the award this evening.

The film, which debuted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, also took Best Debut Screenwriter sponsored by Film4 for Peppiatt and Best Joint Lead for trio Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh.

Though Venom: The Last Dance performed a lot better than previous Ssu movies Madame Web and Morbius, it still ended up finishing its theatrical run as the lowest-grossing film of the Venom trilogy.

The Kelly Marcel-directed superhero flick took in just under $140 million domestically and another $333 million from overseas markets for a global total of around $472 million. With a reported budget of around $120 million, this is far from a bad result for Sony Pictures, but it doesn't come close to the $850 million the original Venom made in 2018, and also falls just short of Let There Be Carnage's $500 million.

This was Sony's final Venom movie (supposedly), but the studio is rumoured to have big plans for the villainous Knull and Agent Venom.

The Last Dance hits Digital platforms this week.

It's much better news for Universal's Wicked, which is now 2024’s fourth-biggest domestic release behind Inside Out 2...

More than 20 years later, the world is looking back on one of Keira Knightley‘s breakout roles through a new lens.

Although audiences have come to see her Love Actually scene with Mark’s (Andrew Lincoln) cue cards as less romantic over the years, the 2x Oscar nominee admitted she thought it was a “quite creepy” way to profess his love for her character Juliet when they were filming.

“The slightly stalkerish aspect of it — I do remember that,” Knightley told the Los Angeles Times. “My memory is of [director] Richard [Curtis], who is now a very dear friend, of me doing the scene, and him going, ‘No, you’re looking at [Lincoln] like he’s creepy,’ and I’m like [in a dramatic whisper], ‘But it is quite creepy.’ And then having to redo it to fix my face to make him seem not creepy.”

In the 2003 Christmas romantic-comedy, Juliet marries Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) get married...

Since bursting on the scene in 1998 as a scruffier and scrappier distant cousin to the BAFTAs, the British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs) have been an early bellwether for future talent in front of and behind the camera. Giving a very early shout out to some of the biggest stars working today is the BIFAs breakthrough performance award (formerly the most promising newcomer award).

Jamie Bell and Ben Whishaw were recipients more than 20 years ago, while other winners have included Dev Patel, Naomi Ackie and Jessie Buckley. As for Emily Blunt, John Boyega, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mia Goth, Andrea Riseborough, Will Poulter, George MacKay, Jodie Whittaker and Cosmo Jarvis, they’re among a formidable lineup of names who only managed a nomination.

So it’s only natural that this year’s crop of nominees are perhaps a little excited about what lies ahead. Speaking to Variety ahead of the awards ceremony on Dec.

More than twenty years after its premiere, actress Keira Knightley has spoken out about a pivotal sequence in the beloved film “Love.” In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Knightley revisited the famous cue card scene, which has received renewed attention for its implications on consent and conduct.

Knightley, who was only 17 when filming, remembers feeling nervous about the scene with co-star Andrew Lincoln. In this memorable scene, Lincoln’s character, Mark, secretly professes his love for Juliet (played by Knightley) through a sequence of handwritten cue cards. At the same time, her husband, Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor), remains clueless inside the house.

Knightley commented, “The slightly stalker-ish aspect of it—I remember that.” She addressed her worries to director Richard Curtis, describing the incident as “quite creepy.” Curtis, who has since become a close friend, advised her to change her expressions to make the situation less scary.

Knightley reflected on her age,...

Keira Knightley admitted in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times that she told “Love Actually” director Richard Curtis while filming the infamous cue card scene with Andrew Lincoln that it was all “quite creepy.” Knightley was 17 years old when she was filming the Christmas romance. Both “Love Actually” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” opened in theaters in 2003, turning Knightley into a global star.

The “Love Actually” scene features Lincoln’s character unexpectedly showing up at Knightley’s door with cue cards that express his love for her. The cards read: “Let me say, without any hope or agenda, just because it’s Christmas (and at Christmas you tell the truth) to me you are perfect.” The moment is complicated by the fact that Knightley’s character’s husband (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) is inside. Many viewers now consider the moment stalker-ish.

“The...

It has been more than 20 years since the release of Love Actually and Keira Knightley is sharing her true thoughts on the controversial cue card scene her character Juliet shares with Andrew Lincoln‘s Mark.

In the movie, Keira‘s Juliet is in a relationship with Chiwetel Ejiofor‘s Peter, but his best friend Mark is also in love with her. He shows up at their door and uses cue cards to communicate with her so that Peter won’t hear him.

In a new interview, Keira commented on the scene being considered controversial.

Gladiator II Box Office (Worldwide): Sets A New Record In Denzel Washington’s Career( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Gladiator II also did well at the box office this Monday, despite Moana 2 and Wicked’s dominating presence. The film’s latest worldwide collection has set a new record in Denzel Washington’s career. The film came with a hefty price tag between $210 and $250 million and is doing decently well at the box office. Scroll below for the deets.

For the unversed, Denzel gave the highest-grossing film of his career with, American Gangster, which was also directed by Ridley Scott. The movie came out in 2007 and featured Russell Crowe, Ted Levine, John Ortiz, Josh Brolin, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ruby Dee, Lymari Nadal, and Cuba Gooding Jr, besides Washington. According to Box Office Mojo’s report, it collected $130.16 million at the domestic box office and $269.75 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in Denzel’s career.

Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep) showcases the more sentimental side of Stephen King with The Life of Chuck, based on the short story from King’s 2020 anthology If It Bleeds. Neon has officially set a release date for the new King adaptation.

The Life of Chuck will be released in theaters on May 30, 2025.

TIFF’s People’s Choice Award winner is split in three separate acts, all linked to tell the biography of Charles Krantz in reverse. “It’s a Stand By Me for the multiple lives within each of us, pulled between our dreams and down-to-earth pragmatism.” Tom Hiddleston plays the title character.

I wrote in my TIFF review, “It’s the little things that matter most, both in life and in The Life of Chuck. Flanagan finds inventive and stylish ways to remind us of this throughout, shaking loose deep-seated memories from Chuck’s upbringing and highlighting...

After winning the People’s Choice Award at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, the Mike Flanagan-directed adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck is getting an official release date. Flanagan’s fantasy drama, starring Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan, Harvey Guillén, and more, comes to theaters on May 30, 2025. Neon distributes the adaptation, which also stars Mia Sara, David Dastmalchian, Matthew Lillard, Jacob Tremblay, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kate Siegel, Mark Hamill, Lauren Lavera, and Q’orianka Kilcher.

Variety posted a description for The Life of Chuck in September, saying, “Adapted from Stephen King’s 2020 novella, The Life of Chuck stars Tom Hiddleston and is directed by Mike Flanagan. Billed as a ‘life-affirming’ story about an ordinary man named Charles Krantz, the film is split into three distinct chapters that unfurl in reverse chronological order and are set against the backdrop of a world that appears to be slowly crumbling.

Sophie Okonedo will receive the Richard Harris Award at the 2024 British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs), organizers unveiled Monday.

The Richard Harris Award recognizes the outstanding contribution of an actor to British film. Previous recipients of the honor include the likes of Samantha Morton, Riz Ahmed, Kristin Scott Thomas, Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave, Daniel Day-Lewis, Helena Bonham Carter, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Julie Walters, John Hurt, Emma Thompson, Jim Broadbent and, last year, Stephen Graham.

“Sophie’s celebrated career has seen her embrace both U.K. independent and Hollywood film and has taken her from the National Theatre to Broadway and back, with a significant body of acclaimed television roles in between,” the BIFAs organizers said in a statement. “Sophie’s work has been recognized by, amongst others, BIFA, BAFTA, the Academy, Tony, Olivier, Screen Actors Guild and Emmy Awards.”

Sophie Okonedo is set to receive the Richard Harris Award at the 2024 British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs) on Sunday 8 December.

The prize is given for an outstanding contribution by an actor to British film. Previous recipients include Samantha Morton, Riz Ahmed, Kristin Scott Thomas, Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave, Daniel Day-Lewis, Helena Bonham Carter, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Julie Walters, John Hurt, Emma Thompson, Jim Broadbent and in 2023, Stephen Graham.

Stage and screen star Okonedo was Oscar-nominated for Hotel Rwanda in 2005 and won a Tony for A Raisin In The Sun in 2014. She has twice previously been nominated for a BIFA for roles in Skin and Dirty Pretty Things.

She made her way into acting at the Royal Court’s youth theatre in London, before going on to develop her craft at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (Rada). She made her big-screen debut in Isaac Julien’s enduring 1991 East-end drama Young Soul Rebels.

Like Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage before it, Venom: The Last Dance doesn't exactly have the strongest of scripts.

Plot holes aren't hard to find; for example, why after doing his best to avoid transforming would Venom then do so just for a dance with Mrs. Chen? (resulting in the Xenophage nearly killing them and his and Eddie Brock's eventual capture).

Still, fans were quick to pick up on the fact the threequel made a point of establishing that Detective Pat Mulligan's Symbiote had abandoned him after his run-in with Venom and Carnage in the previous movie. Seeing as the cop was bonded with another of the aliens before being killed, this surely means Toxin is still out there, right?

Perhaps not.

A list of deleted scenes for the upcoming Digital and Blu-ray releases of Venom: The Last Dance has been revealed and among them is "Toxin's Warning.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is filled with teases, cliffhangers, and post-credits scenes — some good, some bad. However, by this point there've been too many teases that remain unfulfilled, including cameos that have yet to be paid off and credits stingers that promised bigs things yet have so far amounted to nothing. Think of Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) declaring his intention to hunt down sorcerers in "Doctor Strange," Adrian Toomes aka Vulture (Michael Keaton) and Mac Gargan aka Scorpion (Michael Mando) meeting in prison in "Spider-Man: Homecoming," or basically the entire ending of "Eternals" (everything from the giant celestial sticking out of the ocean to Arishem promising to judge Earth and the hint at Kit Harington's Dane Whitman becoming the Black Knight).

Then there's "Thor: Love and Thunder," a terrible movie with bad visual effects that director Taika Waititi himself criticized (despite the poor working conditions the film's visual effects...

Whether you loved or hated Venom: The Last Dance (and Sony's Marvel movies are always divisive), it's hard to deny that the visuals were impressive.

Ilm has shared some shots of the work they did on the threequel, specifically highlighting the Symbiote's final form in the movie's closing moments. As you'll recall, the blockbuster concluded with Venom separating from Eddie Brock to wrap itself around the Xenophage, dragging it into an acid shower which destroyed them both.

Venom became giant-sized and, just to punctuate his demise, Rex Strickland blew himself and the two aliens up to ensure the rampaging Xenophage could no longer threaten Earth. Eddie and Venom's "Codex" was also destroyed, leaving Knull trapped on Klyntar...for now, at least.

However, it's widely believed Venom survived, likely through the piece of Symbiote retrieved by Imperium at the start of the movie. The Lethal Protector may have also transferred...

In Venom: Let There Be Carnage's post-credits scene, Eddie Brock was pulled to Earth-616 where his alien suit immediately took great interest in a news report about Spider-Man.

The events of Spider-Man: No Way Home revealed that Doctor Strange's botched spell - courtesy of Peter Parker's constant input - had started pulling everyone who knows the wall-crawler's secret identity into the Sacred Timeline. That explained Venom's unexpected arrival on Earth-616, though he never joined the final battle and instead chose to remain in Mexico.

That was confirmed by Spider-Man: No Way Home's stinger, with Eddie sent back home in the same manner as the Spider-Men and Sinister Six Five.

Venom: The Last Dance opens by recreating the 2021 movie's post-credits scene as the Lethal Protector learns about Iron Man and Thanos. However, when he returns home this time, the glowing effects from Spider-Man: No Way Home are replaced...

Actor Josh Brolin recently revealed a behind-the-scenes anecdote from the 2007 crime movie “American Gangster” that nearly resulted in a violent altercation with co-star Denzel Washington. In a candid interview with Graham Bensinger, Brolin recalled a stressful moment on set that strained the limits of their professional relationship.

The incident occurred while Brolin was filming a scene in which he played Detective Trupo, who was investigating heroin dealer Frank Lucas, played by Washington. According to Brolin, tensions arose when Washington arrived late to the set and appeared distracted while changing the scene structure.

“Denzel was a little late to the set,” Brolin explained. “He showed me the lines and rearranged how we would do the scene.” The situation swiftly grew heated when Brolin reached out for assistance with his lines. Washington reacted strongly, telling Brolin, “Don’t ever put your hand on me.”

Brolin confessed that he briefly believed they were about to fight.

Josh Brolin is looking back on a tense moment he had with Denzel Washington on the set of American Gangster.

In an interview on the In Depth with Graham Bensinger, the Dune: Part Two actor recalled a moment when he said he felt he and Washington were going to get into an altercation.

“Denzel and I, by the way, get along very well now,” he said before sharing the anecdote from set. “We almost got into a fight.”

In the 2007 film, Brolin played Detective Trupo, who is investigating Washington’s character Frank Lucas, a Harlem drug dealer in the ’60s and ’70s. While filming, there was a heated moment Brolin alleged after Washington changed Brolin’s line for a scene at the last minute.

“Denzel was a little late to set and there was a whole thing there,” Brolin said. “And then he showed me the lines … he didn’t change any of my lines,...

Venom: The Last Dance featured the live-action debut of the King in Black and God of the Symbiotes, Knull. Played by Andy Serkis, the big bad sent his Xenophage to Earth in a bid to retrieve Eddie Brock and Venom's Codex so he could be freed from his prison on Klyntar.

It didn't work out for the villain but the movie ended with a mid-credits scene driving home what a threat Knull could still be to the universe should he escape.

Now, Karl Lindberg has shared his designs for Knull, explaining, "Worked directly with Writer/Director Kelly Marcel to design this creepy villain. Love how he came out in the movie."

We'd argue that this version is far more terrifying than the one briefly glimpsed in Venom: The Last Dance and you'll notice that Lindberg found a way to incorporate that iconic logo on Knull's chest (we're still not...

On the heels of the response to “Joker: Folie à Deux” (Warner Bros.) on PVOD, “Megalopolis” (Lionsgate), Francis Ford Coppola’s much lower grossing but also much publicized $100 million self-financed film, got a home release that garnered almost zero interest.

“Saturday Night” (Sony) was the other big name release, and landed #6 on both iTunes (ranking by revenue) and Fandango (by transactions) top 10 lists (#4 and #6 respectively; it was #1 for a day at iTunes). It’s not like it was a much bigger hit than “Megalopolis” in theaters or PVOD. Its domestic gross was only $9.5 million, less than $2 million better than Coppola’s film.

“Megalopolis” not making either list is surprising. But what is stunning is it is nowhere to be found among the more than 80 movies listed on their daily list, nor has it since it was released. “Goodrich” (Bleecker Street) with Michael Keaton, which grossed barely over $1 million is #24 Monday.

The events of Netflix's new Rob Peace movie have viewers questioning how much is a true story.

Directed and written by Chiwetel Ejiofor (recently seen in Venom: The Last Dance), Rob Peace follows a Yale University student as he risks his life to help exonerate and save his father, who is in prison.

The film debuted on Netflix on November 11 behind a cast that included Jay Will, Mary J. Blige, and Camila Cabello alongside Ejiofor.

Although Venom: The Last Dance opened somewhat lower at the box office than expected, the sequel has managed to stay on top for the last three weeks and recently crossed a major milestone. The film has sped past the $400 million mark with a $405.5 million worldwide take. That works out to $118.5 million domestically and $287 million internationally, with all three films generating a total of $1.7 billion.

The first Venom grossed $856.1 million during its theatrical run, while Venom: Let There Be Carnage grossed $506.8 million. At this rate, Venom: The Last Dance could overtake Let There Be Carnage but won’t come close to the first movie.

When Venom: The Last Dance opened in North America far below initial expectations - with a disappointing $51 million - it looked like Sony Pictures might have another box office flop on its hands.

Morbius and Madame Web were both subjects of ridicule and lost a lot of good faith for a studio that's not exactly known for making quality comic book movies when Marvel Studios isn't involved.

However, since opening in theaters last month, Venom: The Last Dance has continued to exceed expectations. In fact, it's now crossed $400 million at the worldwide box office. As things stand, it will end up making more than Venom: Let There Be Carnage's $503 million, a terrific result considering it only cost $120 million to produce.

In fact, with a reported total production cost of $340 million across the Venom trilogy, this series will end up having made upwards of $1.8 billion in box office revenue for Sony Pictures.

Bridget Jones is back.

On Tuesday, Peacock released the first trailer for “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” the fourth film in the long-running romantic comedy series and the first since “Bridget Jones’s Baby” in 2016.

Things are different this time for Jones, and not just because this is the first film in the franchise that will bypass theaters entirely. As revealed in the “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” trailer, Jones’s husband, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), has died, leaving Jones a widowed mother of two young children. Things move apace from there, with several of her friends – including former flame Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) – suggesting Jones get back out there to reconnect with other potential mates, including a young man played by Leo Woodall (“The White Lotus”) and a more age-appropriate match in the form of a science teacher played by Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Here’s the official plot synopsis,...

"If you don't shag him, I will." Universal Pictures and Peacock have revealed the official trailer for Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the next romcom sequel from this long-running franchise starring Renée Zellweger. Bridget Jones first blasted onto bookshelves in Helen Fielding's literary phenomenon Bridget Jones's Diary, which became a global bestseller & blockbuster film in 2001. As a single career woman living in London, Bridget Jones not only introduced the world to her romantic adventures, but added "Singletons," "Smug-Marrieds" and "f---wittage" into the global lexicon. Then came the sequel Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) followed by Bridget Jones's Baby (2016). In this next one, Mad About the Boy, Jones gets on Tinder and meets a dashing young man who woos her. The full ensemble cast has plenty of old & new faces: Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Isla Fisher, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones, James Callis,...
