The Directors of ‘Project Hail Mary’ Explain Why the Movie Is a PC, Not a Mac

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-25 00:30:55

Making movies is all about compromises. This actor is unavailable, so you cast someone else. That location is too expensive, so let’s build a set. This shot is impossible, so let’s think of something better. At every step, the big, huge mechanism of filmmaking is always a work in progress. But on Project Hail Mary, directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord tried to embrace a new philosophy. “What’s great about this movie is there are so many things that make it harder to make,” Miller said in Hall H

Open Channel: What’d You Think ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’?

Nearly five full years after Marvel Studios first planted its flag and announced it was coming, the Fantastic Four finally made their MCU debut this weekend. Given the last tries at bringing these heroes to the big screen, and how Marvel treated those characters back when it didn’t own them, it seemed there wasn’t really anywhere for the Four to go but up. But things have changed in the past five years, and now there’s more pressure than ever for them to stick the landing, particularly since thi

‘Coyote vs. Acme’ Finally Comes Out Next Year, and We’ve Seen Footage

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-12-26 14:30:34

Two years ago, Coyote vs. Acme was a victim of Warner Bros. Discovery’s cost-cutting cancellation wave. Despite public outcry, it initially seemed like it’d never see the light of day.

Forty years have passed since The Goonies delighted audiences and captured the adventurous imaginations of a generation. In that time, talk of a sequel has never ended, but as of earlier this year, it’s more real than it ever has been. Warner Bros. has, as of a few months back, hired someone to write a Goonies 2. And while many of the original cast members have been very vocal and excited about the idea, the group’s elder statesman, Josh Brolin, seems much less enthusiastic. Brolin, who went on

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like an ice-cold drink on a warm summer’s day. A slice of apple pie with a glass of milk. It’s a nice, simple, familiar-feeling movie that will make you feel warm and fuzzy for a while but maybe doesn’t have the lasting power of something stronger. It’s easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever, and yet, falls just short of being fully “fantastic.” Nevertheless, it’s still highly enjoyable.
