Channing Tatum Still Wishes He Got to Do ‘Beauty & the Beast’ With Guillermo del Toro

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-08 01:30:51

Channing Tatum has had a varied career. He has played spies, superheroes, and soft-hearted men (he also dances really well). But there is one role he wished he could play, but it got away: Tatum really, really wanted to play The Beast in a non-Disney version of Beauty & the Beast. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Tatum said he had been approached about a possible film adaptation of the childhood classic by Guillermo del Toro. The actor turned down the role, a decision he described as “one of the bigges

OpenAI Says It's Making a Full Hollywood Movie Using AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-11 08:15:29

OpenAI has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a feature-length animated movie made largely with artificial intelligence. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the purported goal of using AI tech on the movie is to speed up production while also saving costs — and, presumably, serving as a giant tech demo for movie execs everywhere. The film will invite comparisons to the early days of CGI-animated movies in the mid-1990s. Funded heavily by Apple cofounder Ste

Can generative AI animate a decent movie? That question's getting an early test. OpenAI and production studio Vertigo Films have announced a plan to create a feature-length adaptation of a 2023 short film made as a demonstration for OpenAI's Dall-E image generator. The film, called Critterz, has a budget of less than $30 million, and producers hope to make the movie in about nine months -- in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal.

Ryan Reynolds Fesses Up to Leaking ‘Deadpool’ Test Footage

The big reason we have a Deadpool film trilogy is because of leaked test footage for the first movie back in 2014. It’s since become generally agreed upon that leading man Ryan Reynolds probably had something to do with it, and now the actor himself has gone and said he leaked it, yeah. Talking to Entertainment Weekly at TIFF, Reynolds said the leak may have been “cheating,” but done with the best of intentions. “I think I was onto something that people would be interested in,” he told the outl

Wake Up Dead Man adds a delightfully dark twist to Knives Out

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-12 23:00:00

When director Rian Johnson introduced the new Knives Out film on the third day of TIFF 2025, he exclaimed: “we’re going back to church.” By that he meant that Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc mystery, would harken back to the origins of the whodunit, and in particular the gothic vibes of Edgar Allan Poe. And now that I’ve seen it, I have to say that Johnson pulled it off: the new movie has a darker and more spiritual feel than its predecessors, and yet it’s still distinctly Knives Out,

The Robot Vacuum’s Next Humble Trick: Climbing Stairs

Stair-climbing robot vacuums are actually about to be a reality, sort of. That’s courtesy of a little baby trend at IFA 2025 of robot vacuums slipping into something more climbable—a little caddy that carries them upstairs when it’s time to move floors, then waits to carry them back down when they’re done.

When The Conjuring was released in 2013, it felt like a nostalgic nod to eerie 1970s horror movies like The Changeling or The Manitou. From its simple opening title card -- yellow text on a black background -- to its relatively little gore and slow build of suspense, The Conjuring was a breath of fresh air. It arrived at a time when the horror genre was rampant with gruesome movies like Saw (which was also directed by Wan) and Hostel. The Conjuring kick-started not just a film franchise, but a
