🎬 Heat 2 is real. DiCaprio, Bale, Mann. November shoot.

After a year of difficult negotiations, DiCaprio and Bale are set to star in Michael Mann's sequel, filming starting in November. Bale takes Pacino's Vincent Hanna, DiCaprio steps into Kilmer's shoes as Chris Shiherlis.

Mann at 83 is taking this globe-trotting production to LA, Chicago, Paraguay, and Singapore. For a director whose last few films barely registered at the box office, this reads like a final, uncompromising statement. The sequel nobody thought would actually happen is happening.

What genuinely intrigues me is Robert Downey Jr. playing Victor Von Doom with a full accent and zero smirk. The Russos brought him back as the villain, and that's a real swing worth watching.

Whether it lands depends entirely on whether the Russos keep Doom cold and theatrical, never winking at the audience. This is chapter one of a two-part reset leading into Secret Wars in 2027, so I'm cautiously in.

Street Fighter (2026): Jason Momoa is green. Very, very green.

Kitao Sakurai directing a Street Fighter movie with Jason Momoa as Blanka is exactly the kind of casting that makes you tilt your head and just go with it. Andrew Koji as Ryu is the smarter choice on paper, and the Blanka vs. Ryu sequence has real momentum.

The rapid cutting is my main concern, but I'll reserve judgment. The "so-bad-it's-good" lane feels too comfortable for a property that deserves better. I want this to be legitimately fun, not accidentally.

🍿 $360 million in three days. Spider-Man just broke everything.

Tom Holland and director Destin Daniel Cretton just handed Marvel its biggest opening in history: $360M domestic, edging out 'Avengers: Endgame' after seven years on top. Not a fluke. The top four all-time openings now belong to Marvel.

That last part is where it gets interesting for me. Four Marvel titles. Zero surprises in the top four. The genre has basically colonized peak box office like it owns the deed. 'No Way Home' already proved this franchise has no ceiling; Brand New Day just confirmed it has no floor either. 🕷

🎬 Ready Player Two is happening, and honestly the book being terrible is the best news possible

Zak Penn is officially writing the sequel to 'Ready Player One', with Spielberg back as producer. Ernest Cline's second novel is, by near-universal agreement, a disaster. Wade becomes an insufferable tech-bro fantasy and the whole thing reads like Elon Musk fan fiction published in 2020.

Penn deviated from the first book too, and that's largely why the movie worked. Here he has an even stronger case for throwing out the source material and keeping only the skeleton. The IP is the playground, not the plot. Use it.

Brand New Day just crossed $1B worldwide in four days, second-fastest ever behind Endgame. Director Destin Daniel Cretton delivered something genuinely grounded for a Holland Spider-Man, and that "I am both" payoff people keep talking about lands harder than any MCU moment in years.

Sony killed every solo villain spinoff, kept Spider-Verse 3, and is now riding this wave with everything they've got. Smart. When your one sure thing is this sure, you don't dilute it with Morbius sequels.

Tom Holland has now starred in multiple billion-dollar films and counting. At this point he is not just Sony's golden goose, he is the whole farm.

🍿 $2 billion. Spider-Man did it alone.

Brand New Day just became the highest-grossing Spider-Man film ever and the first solo superhero movie to crack $2B worldwide. In 19 days. The Avengers needed a team to pull that off; Peter Parker did it with webs and a college backpack.

Destin Daniel Cretton (the guy behind 'Shang-Chi') clearly understood what the Sony solo experiments never did: Spider-Man works when Marvel is in the room. Morbius, Madame Web, Kraven... that graveyard exists precisely so this film could feel like a resurrection.

Jon Bernthal as Punisher dropping into a Spider-Man film is the kind of swing that only works when there's trust between the studios. Right now, that trust is printing money.

A guy just wants his wife back. The aliens won't let him. That's the whole pitch, and honestly it sells itself. The premise is absurdist gold, but what makes it land is the casting: Sam Richardson is exactly the kind of actor who makes cosmic humiliation feel warm rather than mean.

If you slept on his Werewolves Within, fix that first. This feels like the same DNA: genre scaffolding, genuine heart, jokes that respect your intelligence. Premiering at Fantastic Fest, which tends to have good radar for this stuff.

🍿 Ali G is back. 24 years later. Make it make sense.

Sacha Baron Cohen wrote, directed and stars in this sequel to 'Ali G Indahouse', his feature directorial debut via Amazon MGM. The whole thing was shot in secret, which is honestly the most Ali G thing possible.

The real question is whether the joke still lands. Prank comedy lives on the target not knowing who you are. Half the world knows Ali G now. The other half has never heard of him and couldn't care less about a parody of early-2000s UK roadman culture.

That tension, a character frozen in time facing a world that moved on, could actually be interesting if Cohen leans into it. He probably won't. But the possibility is there.

🎬 Tim Curry is gone. There was nobody quite like him.

Tim Curry died August 26 at 80. Frank-N-Furter in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show', Wadsworth in 'Clue', the Lord of Darkness in 'Legend'. Each role a complete performance, zero filler.

Post-stroke, the body slowed. The wit never did. That combination of theatrical precision and gleeful chaos is something film school can't teach and Netflix can't manufacture. RIP. 🎩

Robert Pattinson plays Hansen at the peak of the 2006 To Catch a Predator frenzy. Director Lance Oppenheim has a gift for dissecting the theater of American obsession, and this subject fits him perfectly.

Hansen refused to watch the film without a no-lawsuit clause, then bought preshow airtime to frame the story on his own terms. A24 couldn't have scripted better marketing.

Sacha Baron Cohen returns as Ali G, now 20 years older and thrown into TikTok culture. The self-aware conceit is genuinely funny. And yes, he directed it himself.

The real question is which version shows up. The early Ali G, who exposed establishment cluelessness brilliantly in 'Ali G Indahouse', or the later one who just leaned into the joke until the joke stopped landing. Picturehouse passing is noise. October 23 is the only verdict that counts.
