Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesRight after our episode last week, our pal James Gunn dropped big news on Wednesday - the next Superman film written by him will be called Man of Tomorrow. Gunn, David Corneswet, and others involved shared particular artwork by DC Comics President Jim Lee that showed Lex Luthor in a mech suit to make the announcement. In typical Gunn fashion, the DC Studios co-chair has teased this film isn't a direct sequel, but is the next installment in what he calls the “Superman saga.” The film's title is reminiscent of the Milly Alcock led Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which releases next year. In other DC movie news, Weapons director Zach Cregger addressed rumors that have been circulating about his involvement with a Joker and Harley Quinn movie. Cregger called stories about him having written a treatment for the two iconic DC villains “blown out of proportion,” but did indicate that he has a couple of films he's interested in working on, though he hasn't spoken with James Gunn yet.At the Toronto International Film Festival last Friday, Ryan Reynolds finally admitted the internet's worst kept secret - that he was the one who leaked the original Deadpool test footage in 2014 to the world wide web. Reynolds went on to say that Fox simply didn't seem interested in releasing an R-rated superhero movie and his passion for the character led him to the extreme action, which he doesn't regret. Fans of Deadpool are likely forever grateful that Reynolds did what he did, which led to pressure on the studio to make the film a reality. In other questionable swings from stars both in front of and behind the camera, The Russos released a blurry image with the caption #Doomsday Is Coming via Instagram earlier today.No last rites are being read for horror at the box office this year, as the supposed final installment in the Conjuring universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, raked in $84 million domestically this weekend for its opening. This massive box office marks the best for this franchise ever, and the third biggest opening for a horror film of all-time. Warner Brothers and New Line are laughing all the way to the bank, having projected a $35 million opening box office and the movie cost about $55 million to make. The film's global take as of today is $194 million. In other Conjuring news, a series in development at HBO Max set in the universe took a big step forward today, hiring Nancy Won as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, who will write the series alongside Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires. The Office spin off The Paper, which debuted its first season last week has been renewed for a second season on Peacock.Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Nia DaCosta's “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," the follow up to this year's 28 Years Later.

In this Blood Diamond (2006) Movie Review, we explore Edward Zwick's gripping drama that shines a stark light on the human cost of the diamond trade. Set against the backdrop of Sierra Leone's brutal civil war, the film weaves an intense story of survival, greed, and redemption through the intertwined lives of a smuggler, a fisherman, and a journalist. With unforgettable performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly, Blood Diamond is a heart-pounding thriller that forces audiences to confront the dark truths behind luxury and the price of humanity.The Story: A Conflict Fueled by GreedSet in the 1999 civil war in Sierra Leone, the film follows three characters whose lives intersect around a rare pink diamond. Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) is a fisherman torn from his family and enslaved by rebel forces to mine diamonds. When he discovers the priceless gem, it becomes his hope for reuniting with his family and escaping the horrors of war.Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a jaded mercenary and diamond smuggler looking to use the gem as a ticket out of Africa. His motivations are driven by greed, but his journey alongside Solomon forces him to confront his moral compass. Meanwhile, journalist Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly) seeks to expose the corruption and human suffering perpetuated by the diamond trade, risking her own safety to uncover the truth.The trio's quest takes them across the perilous terrain of Sierra Leone, navigating rebel ambushes, government corruption, and personal demons. Their intertwining stories paint a vivid picture of survival, humanity, and the pursuit of justice in the face of unimaginable violence.Leonardo DiCaprio: A Career-Defining PerformanceDiCaprio delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career as Danny Archer, a man grappling with his fractured sense of morality. Sporting a convincing Rhodesian accent, DiCaprio brings depth to the character, transforming Archer from a cold-hearted opportunist to a man seeking redemption. His chemistry with both Hounsou and Connelly is electric, driving the film's emotional core.Djimon Hounsou: The Heart of the FilmAs Solomon Vandy, Djimon Hounsou delivers a powerhouse performance, embodying a father's desperate fight to save his family. His portrayal of anguish, resilience, and determination is deeply moving, earning him a well-deserved Oscar nomination. Solomon's journey serves as the film's emotional anchor, reminding viewers of the human cost of conflict diamonds.Jennifer Connelly: The Voice of ConscienceJennifer Connelly's Maddy Bowen is a fierce and fearless journalist, providing a counterbalance to Archer's cynicism and Solomon's despair. Her character not only brings a journalistic perspective to the story but also challenges Archer to examine his role in perpetuating the cycle of exploitation. Connelly's nuanced performance highlights the sacrifices and risks involved in pursuing truth.Unflinching Realism: The Brutality of Conflict DiamondsOne of the film's greatest strengths is its unapologetic portrayal of the diamond trade's devastating impact on human lives. Through scenes of child soldiers, forced labour, and rebel atrocities, Blood Diamond immerses viewers in the horrors of Sierra Leone's civil war. The film doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths, shedding light on the greed and corruption that fuel the conflict.Director Edward Zwick's meticulous attention to detail ensures that every frame feels authentic, from the bustling markets to the desolate landscapes scarred by violence. Eduardo Serra's cinematography captures Africa's stark beauty while juxtaposing it against the brutal realities of war.Themes of Redemption and HopeAt its heart, Blood Diamond is a story of redemption and the enduring power of hope. Each character transforms: Archer finds his humanity, Solomon clings to hope despite unimaginable suffering, and Maddy's idealism pushes her to fight for justice. The pink diamond, initially a symbol of greed, becomes a beacon of hope for Solomon's family and a catalyst for change in Archer's life.A Thought-Provoking Call to ActionBeyond its thrilling action and emotional storytelling, Blood Diamond serves as a powerful critique of consumer culture and the ethical dilemmas surrounding luxury goods. The film challenges audiences to consider the true cost of the items they covet, making it both an entertaining and thought-provoking experience.The tagline “It will cost you everything” resonates not only with the characters' sacrifices but also with the message that our choices have far-reaching consequences. By the film's end, viewers are left questioning the morality of industries built on exploitation and whether change is truly possible.Critical Acclaim and LegacyUpon its release, Blood Diamond was praised for its intense performances, gripping narrative, and unflinching exploration of a sensitive subject. It received five Academy Award nominations, including nods for DiCaprio and Hounsou's performances, and earned widespread acclaim for its ability to balance action with social commentary.The film also sparked conversations about ethical diamond sourcing, increasing awareness of initiatives like the Kimberley Process. While it's not a perfect system, the movie's impact on public consciousness helped push the issue into the global spotlight.Flaws Worth MentioningWhile Blood Diamond is undeniably powerful, it's not without its flaws. Some critics have pointed out the occasional reliance on action-movie tropes, which can detract from the story's realism. Additionally, while well-acted, Maddy Bowen's character sometimes feels underutilised compared to the arcs of Archer and Solomon.Despite these minor shortcomings, the film's emotional weight and powerful performances more than compensate, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking both entertainment and a deeper understanding of the world's complexities.Final VerdictBlood Diamond (2006) is a riveting thriller that transcends the action-drama genre to deliver a poignant critique of greed, exploitation, and redemption. Powered by stellar performances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly, the film balances edge-of-your-seat tension with deeply emotional storytelling. Its unflinching portrayal of the human cost of conflict diamonds is both haunting and unforgettable.Join us in this week's Born to Watch episode as we delve into the enduring legacy of Blood Diamond. We'll explore its impact on audiences, the ethical dilemmas it raises, and why this 2006 masterpiece remains as relevant today as it was nearly two decades ago. If you haven't seen it, prepare for a cinematic journey that will leave you questioning, moved, and inspired.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Robert Winfree and Mark Radulich present our Gladiator 2000 Movie Review!Gladiator is a 2000 historical epic film directed by Ridley Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson from a story by Franzoni. It stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, and Richard Harris. Crowe portrays the Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed when Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus becomes a gladiator and rises through the ranks of the arena, determined to avenge the murders of his family and the emperor.The screenplay, initially written by Franzoni, was inspired by the 1958 Daniel P. Mannix novel Those About to Die. The script was acquired by DreamWorks Pictures, and Scott signed on to direct the film. Principal photography began in January 1999 and wrapped in May of that year.

This week, as Gladiator II hits the theaters to repeat the same beats of its predecessor and prove that what we do in life truly does echo in eternity, we circle back to the original to cross a movie off of Hayley's list and get her hyped to see some hunks on the IMAX screen. It's 2000's Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, Tommy Flanagan and Spencer Treat Clark. A somewhat controversial Best Picture winner at the time, it has remained one of Scott's most celebrated pictures despite hardly being his best. While it may not match the heights of his sci-fi output, it is unquestionably the high-water mark of his Medieval Mode, very much in line with subsequent efforts like Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood and The Last Duel, and is still a hugely entertaining sword-and-sandal revenge epic that lifted its two lead actors to another level of stardom. Plus: We get pissed off about the Coca-Cola AI Christmas commercial. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, Gladiator is currently streaming (in Canada at least) on both Netflix and Paramount+ at the time of publication. Other works discussed on this episode include Past Lives, Stop Making Sense, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Alien, Blade Runner, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, Aliens, In Cold Water: The Shelter Bay Mystery, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, The X-Files (S5E04 "Detour"), Good Bones, Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Holdovers, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Red One, The Brave Little Toaster, Traffic, Erin Brockovich, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shadow of the Vampire and Crash, among others. We'll be back next week to wrap up No-Theme-ber with our monthly canon consideration, as Hayley's got the keys to the vault this month and is using them to induct the Coen Brothers' 2007 crime classic No Country For Old Men, which is currently streaming north of the border on both Netflix and Amazon Prime. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
“This will be a particularly ignorant episode… from an historical standpoint” - Steve, on WHM's lack of history education On this week's special We ❤️ Movies episode, we're chatting about Royal Rid's 2000-era action epic, Gladiator! How great of a run did this film set off for Russell Crowe? How easily eerie is Joaquin here? Did Jesse Ventura try to snag an audition along with Sven-Ole? How intense is that tiger sequence? Is the CGI'd Oliver Reed the first cinematic instance of Hollywood going to Tarkin Town and should we be calling it Oliver Reed-ville instead? And how funny is that “They Say No” decapitation? PLUS: How is this movie only one of THREE times Royal Rid was nominated for Best Director? Gladiator stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, David Schofield, John Shrapnel, Ralf Moeller, Spencer Treat Clark, David Hemmings, Tommy Flanagan, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Oliver Reed as Proximo; directed by Ridley Scott.

Ronald Reagan is a president most people know by name, picture, and sound bite. He had more than a few very important decisions to make while in the White House and, sadly, this film doesn't cover all of those defining moments as it is based on a 2006 book, "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism." As always- we do suggest watching this but know that this film takes a handful of jelly beans when it wanted to take just a few of one color. 0:18:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:33:35 *** What's Streaming *** AMAZON THE WHALE, Dir.

Dan & Mike want to hear from you!What if you could experience the onset of an alien invasion without leaving your seat? Join us on the latest Oh Brother Podcast episode as we review "A Quiet Place Day One," the thrilling prequel starring the incredible Lupita Nyong'o. Mike and I are buzzing with excitement over this new addition to the franchise, set a year before the original film. We dissect the masterful yet loud sound design and share some candid thoughts on the disruptive audience behavior we encountered. With director Michael Sarnoski at the helm, who previously wowed us with "Pig," and the return of Djimon Hounsou, this film promises to be a blockbuster. Plus, we dive into its impressive box office performance and bigger budget.In our second chapter, we don't hold back on critiquing the film's connections to other sci-fi and horror classics. Comparing it to the likes of "Dune," "The Last of Us," "Alien," and even "The Lord of the Rings," we explore the similarities in creature design and narrative elements. We also delve into plot continuity issues, pacing, and the film's abrupt ending. Wrapping it all up, we recommend viewers might want to save their theater dollars and wait for streaming, despite Nyong'o's standout performance.

For the third entry in this successful sci-fi/horror franchise, the story kicks off at the very beginning of this worldwide alien invasion....in New York City, the city that never sleeps. So now these terrifying creatures who are mainly attracted to sound waves....are landing in the ONE place with the most NOISE. :o Our main character this time around is Samira played by Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o who finds herself in the middle of this invasion and we follow her as she attempts to survive....and eventually pairs up with a British law student overseas played by Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things). What results is a contemplative thrill ride as directed by Michael Sarnoski who recently helmed the acclaimed psychodrama Pig starring Nicholas Cage. So once again, remember the main rule: SILENCE equals SURVIVAL.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! Yes, we're still donning sandals, wielding swords, and delving into films that flopped at the box office. In this week's episode, we're diving into the work of one of our favorite directors once more: Guy Ritchie.
