Exclusive: NFL fans are going to see Colin Kaepernick at the Super Bowl tomorrow.
Sort of.
Long a social justice thorn in the league’s paw, the ex-San Francisco 49ers quarterback isn’t taking the field at SoFi Stadium as the L.A. Rams take on the Cincinnati Bengals on February 13. However, a fictionalized version of the activist will be featured in the official program for Super Bowl Lvi, I’ve learned.
Specifically, Jaden Michael as a teenage Kap is featured in an ad from Ava DuVernay’s Array for the learning companion to the Netflix series Colin in Black & White, which launched back on October 29, 2021 on the streamer.
Coming after Kaepernick being essentially blacklisted by the NFL for his taking a knee stance in protest against racism and police violence back in 2016, the placement of the Array 101 ad in the 288-page Super Bowl program is a high-profile...

Cruella was a vibrant, funny, and raucous ride which saw scrappy young seamstress and designer Estella go head to head with snooty fashion high priestess, and all round bad person, The Baroness in a funky, punky, spiky take on the protege outdoing the mentor trope. Emma Stone and Emma Thompson fizz and spark as the warring fashionistas, the outfits are fabulous, and the soundtrack is banging.
Oh yeah, and at some point in the future, the plucky, if slightly deranged, upstart you’ve been rooting for the whole time is going to become a puppy murderer. But shhhh, try not to think about that too much.
While Cruella was generally well received, there’s a definite disconnect between the Cruella de Vil we get at the end of the movie and the fur-crazed demon we meet in 101 Dalmatians, and now that news has arrived that Disney is already working...

Cruella de Vil has always been an iconic Disney villain - but just how did Cruella become so evil? The answer to that question is exactly why Cruella star Emma Stone wanted to be part of the new, wildly fun film.
In Popsugar's exclusive clip above, we get a look at some of young Cruella's antics as the film's stars share exactly what inspired them to take on this new 101 Dalmatians iteration. "I had always loved 101 Dalmatians," Stone said. "I thought she was over-the-top and hilarious and wild. When they said they were making an origin story, I did want to know the background of Cruella de Vil." But for her costar Emma Thompson, who hilariously plays the equally evil Baroness, it was, as you can imagine, an extremely fun time. "It's absolutely wonderful to play someone who's never nice to anybody, and who throws cucumber at her own staff,...

This article contains Cruella spoilers.
Disney’s latest live-actioner, Cruella, is a prequel to 101 Dalmatians which sees Emma Stone’s budding fashion designer Estella begin to grow into her villainous alter-ego Cruella de Vil. By the end of the film ,she hasn’t yet reached the depths of Disney’s puppy-skinning diva – there’s time yet – but there’s a mid credits scene in Cruella which might hint at what we’ll see next.
At the end of the main narrative, Estella has inherited her father the Baron’s fortune, faked her own death and bequeathed the estate to her dear friend Cruella. She, Jasper (Joel Fry), Horace (Paul Walter Hauser), and Artie (John McCrea) all move into Hell Hall, with John the Valet (Mark Strong) who has proved himself an important ally. Here Cruella announces she has a few ideas for what their next move might be…

Why should you bring your project to Australia?
In our Australia 101, a basics guide to shooting ‘Down Under’, we attempt to answer that very question.
Thanks to many factors, including careful management of the pandemic, Australia has emerged as a safe shooting destination.
That, combined with talented crews, a low dollar, and a $400 million location incentive fund, means the country is facing an incredible upswing in international production.
In the 101, with words from Sandy George, we honestly break down Australia’s federal and state based incentives, talent pool, infrastructure, diverse locations and showcase businesses keen to collaborate. We talk to producers who’ve done it before, and get you familiar with the lay of the land. Read on below.

Reviews for “Cruella,” the Disney villain origin story of “101 Dalmatians” nemesis Cruella de Vil, have been all over the place. The film, which stars Emma Stone in a punk-rock spin on the title role, currently sits at a 60 on Metacritic. But regardless, audiences will be swarming to the film in theaters as well as on Disney+, where it’s available for the Premier Access price of $29.99.
But some negative reviews are not sitting right with star Paul Walter Hauser, the “Richard Jewell” breakout actor who in “Cruella” plays the villainess’ pal Horace. In a recent interview with Insider, Hauser hit back at critics who may have misunderstood the movie, and for critics baffled by the movie’s supposed dark and edgy tone.
When asked about a Vanity Fair review that criticized the movie, Hauser said, “I just read that review, it was one of maybe six reviews I read,...

Ahead of the long Memorial Day weekend, Paramount’s “A Quiet Place Part II” and Disney’s “Cruella” are each off to a solid start at the domestic box office.
The former, a nearly silent sequel to the 2018 film “A Quiet Place,” nabbed a notable $4.8 million from 3,000 U.S. venues on Thursday. Meanwhile, Disney’s “Cruella” collected $1.4 million in Thursday evening previews from 3,892 locations.
Through the extended weekend, the two films should provide a much-needed boost to movie theaters after a nearly desolate 14 months due to the pandemic. The hope, among cinema operators and Hollywood studios, is that “A Quiet Place Part II” and “Cruella” will kick off a delayed summer movie season that continues with “In the Heights” (June 11), Universal’s “Fast and Furious” sequel “F9” (June 25) and Disney and Marvel’s “Black Widow” (July 9), among others.
For “A Quiet Place Part II,” its $4.8 million haul represents a bigger first-day debut than its predecessor.

Dueling Emmas face off in a battle of fashionistas behaving badly, in Cruella, in which Emma Thompson’s Anna Wintour-like fashion giant is challenged by Emma Stones’ Vivienne Westwood-like punk designer upstart. Cruella is more entertaining that one might expect for the live-action backstory of a Disney villain, Cruella de Vil from the animated classic 101 Dalmatians. Cruella is more entertaining that one might expect. Creative, energetic, dark and spiked with campy humor, Cruella is a surprising bit of fun.
Cruella is sympathetic backstory that paints the famous Disney villain as a misunderstood underdog, but one of the best things about Cruella is that it is not another Maleficent. If you liked that Disney villain origin story, you may not care for this one, as Cruella takes itself far less seriously.

The Disney title will aim to shift ‘Peter Rabbit 2’ from the top spot.

This is up on the five that opened last Friday; at least 11 films did come out on Monday 17 when cinemas reopened, although several of these had previously been released on VoD during the shutdown.

The devil wouldn’t be seen dead in Prada in Disney’s latest live action reboot – a delve into the origin story of iconic 101 Dalmatians villainess Cruella de Vil. Born Estella (she will grow into “Cruella” later), you suspect Emma Stone’s budding fashion designer would find Prada way too basic, her punk rock tastes leaning more towards Vivianne Westwood in its attitude and aesthetic. She looks amazing. She’s a provocateur, an icon, a genius and a master show woman. What she isn’t is someone you could ever imagine killing a puppy, but more on that later.
Directed by I, Tonya’s Craig Gillespie, opening concurrently in cinemas and on Disney+, Cruella is the very best of the recent live action crop since The Jungle Book – a raucous, vibrant romp with some outstanding central performances.

When someone insists they’re “fine,” it’s seldom the case. Take Danny, the recently widowed mom in the micro-budget charmer “I’m Fine (Thanks for Asking),” which directors Kelley Kali and Angelique Molina’s made on coronavirus stimulus check funds.
Having lost her apartment during the Covid-19 crunch, Danny roller skates around a neighborhood of housing projects, fast-food joints and quasi-suburban homes trying to rustle enough gig economy scraps to pay rent and security on a new apartment. A visit to her presumptive — and understanding — landlord leaves her until the end of the day to secure the $200 she’s short.
Danny also skates around her and daughter Wes’ predicament. She’s evasive around friends and tells her bright and shining child (newcomer Wesley Moss) that the tent they’ve pitched on the edges of Pacoima, Calif., is just them on an extended camping trip. After all, Wes liked camping with her dad,...
