After Parasite took the world by storm, news emerged that Bong Joon Ho would embark on a Korean animation with the production company 4th Creative Party, who have worked on visual effects for The Host, Snowpiercer, Okja, Oldboy, Stoker, and The Handmaiden. The fully CGI animation was reported to be a deep-sea adventure, featuring creatures and humans, specifically following an invertebrate deep-sea fish who believes he’s suffering from spinal disk herniation. However, with the director jumping to Mickey 17 it’s been radio silence on the project––until now.
Korean news outlets are reporting the film is continuing production and will be the most expensive Korean film ever made, with a budget of 70 billion won, roughly $52.6 million in Usd. Backed and distributed by Cj Enm in Korea, they are reportedly in discussions with Sony Pictures to release the film worldwide.

The sequel to 2018’s Believer has left fans more than dissatisfied. It’s already an established fact that the only good thing about the film is Han Hyo-Joo’s performance, which has taken over social media for her badassery alone. The film attempts to fill the gaps like plastering over the Mona Lisa, making a terrible sequel to a well-received film. What made Believer a big hit was the impressive cast, the action-packed story that kept you on the edge of your seats, as well as the impactful ending. Believer 2 begins before that open ending, leading up to the moments there, and then completely ruins it. We suppose you can’t trust anything with Believer in the title right now. If you’re looking for some fantastic Korean thrillers to make yourself feel better after seeing this blunder, here’s the perfect list for you.

Most of writer/director Bruce Wemple’s films fall into one of two categories. There are films about cryptids like Dawn of the Beast and The Retreat. And there are films dealing with abnormalities with time such as The Tomorrow Job and Lake Artifact.
Island Escape seems to be an attempt to bring the two themes together with this story of an accident at a research base on the Isle of Gran Manan. We know something is really wrong as the prologue shows a helicopter pilot being killed by what appears to be a bestial version of himself who then tries to fly off in the chopper only to have it explode in mid-air.
Meanwhile, after a barfight, Chase is approached by Alison who claims...

Focus Features’ press conference for Asteroid City began with writer/director Wes Anderson describing the inspiration for his most recent weirdly wonderful film. Asteroid City is one of the most Wes Anderson-ish of all Wes Anderson films, ranking right up there with The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom, and Anderson admitted that no one has specifically asked him where the idea came from.
Joining 10 of his film’s stars – Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Wright, Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody, Rupert Friend, Stephen Park, Hope Davis, Bryan Cranston, and Maya Hawke – for the virtual conference, Anderson revealed that he normally starts writing a script with a couple of ideas.
”I would say this one the three ideas were, one, Roman Coppola and I created this thing together. We wanted to write a part for Jason Schwartzman at the center of a movie that would be something he hadn’t done before.

As transphobic backlash against Anheuser-Busch continues after their non-apology for a Bud Light ad campaign with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney earlier this month, the hosts of “The View” weighed in on the situation Monday, calling the initial outrage outright “dumb.”
“I wanna know, what are you so angry about? Beer does not have a — I mean, it’s not a Democrat or a Republican, it doesn’t have a belief system,” Whoopi Goldberg said to kick off the Hot Topics discussion. “It’s just beer!”
As her co-hosts collected themselves after laughing, host Sunny Hostin chimed in, first calling out the blatant transphobia coming from conservative critics.
“I think that these people that were destroying their own beer, which is also kind of dumb, they also are making this out to be — this is a transphobic issue, right?” she said. “We know this country is highly transphobic.”

Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter are total couple goals, but the spouses admit that their love story had a few bumps in the road.
While on “The Drew Barrymore Show”, the couple was candid about how Ritter’s struggles with alcohol impacted their relationship.
Noting that they first got to know each other on the set of 2013’s “The Big Ask”, 45-year-old Lynskey shared that they were both filming the movie at a tough time in their personal lives.
“We were both going through very difficult times in our lives. We were both going through breakups,” Lynskey shared. “It was a very tumultuous time.”
Ritter, 43, added that though he knew Lynskey was “incredible” early on, but he didn’t feel worthy of her due to his issues with alcohol.
“It’s not as cute of a story as you would like to think. It was messy and interesting and weird,...
