Taylor Sheridan’s neo-western drama series Yellowstone starring Kevin Costner in the lead, became a runaway success with audiences and critics thanks to the actor-turned-writer’s sharp screenplay and story. Encouraged by the reception, the Veronica Mars star went on to create two prequels to the series namely 1883 and 1923, which traced the ancestry of the Duttons and the Yellowstone ranch.

1923 saw two veteran superstars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren playing the central protagonists. In an interview, Sheridan spoke of the effort and detail involved in the production design of the series. When asked about comparisons to a James Cameron masterpiece regarding the colossal budget that was involved, the creator took the reference to another Hollywood epic to state his point.

Unlike The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra had a different approach to its show, as it preferred to follow a more mature protagonist and deal with more layered themes such as politics, class, and Post-traumatic stress disorder (Ptsd). While the 2005 show was labeled as age-neutral, the sequel is more appealing to an older audience, who have an interest in these themes.
Korra
Though the show is undeniably remarkable, full of intricate world-building with three-dimensional characters, it is disliked by a percentage of the franchise’s fans. However, a fan has come forward and mentioned how some of the events featured in the show were quite unnecessary. If the story writers avoided making the story so complex, and how certain events did not make any sense at all.

With films like The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick’s legacy will live on for centuries to come. During his life and even after his death in 1999, he’s widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers to have ever graced the film industry with his talent. But even a man of his caliber had to have been a fan of someone, and that “someone” for Stanley Kubrick was none other than James Cameron.
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980)
James Cameron has been responsible for helming some of the most unforgettable and successful films in Hollywood. Therefore, it makes sense that Stanley Kubrick would be in awe of some of his work, and the feeling was mutual between the directors. When James Cameron decided to give himself a birthday present by meeting Stanley Kubrick, he was shocked to learn just how much of a True Lies fan he was.

Even though it has been 19 years since the show was premiered on our TV screens, it continues to charm its audience. The show features elements that could not be found anywhere else and for an animated series made exclusively for children was age-neutral.

Sony pushes two of its upcoming releases back by several months, with Kraven The Hunter receiving its second substantial delay.
Sony has announced a couple of delays to two of its biggest upcoming titles.
Kraven The Hunter, the latest film in Sony’s series of Spider-Man spin-off films, has been pushed back by around four months, from August all the way back to December. This marks the second delay for the superhero movie which was originally supposed to release at the tail end of last year before being delayed until August. This second delay now means it has effectively been pushed back by a full year.
According to Deadline, the new release date means Kraven will be able to secure plenty of IMAX and other premium format screens. Whether that’s the reason for the delay, though, the story doesn’t mention.

For fans of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008), news of a live-action movie was met with equal parts excitement and skepticism. Would the producers really be able to pull off the stunning visuals and world-building of the animated series, as well as choose the right people to play the characters and remain true to the Avatar legacy?
In short, despite the weight of the massively successful animated series, the 2024 live-action was well received by audiences, earning a 7.2/10 on IMDb.
Just two weeks after its release, Netflix announced that Avatar: The Last Airbender would be renewed for a second and third season. With the live-action adaptation exceeding expectations, fans turned their attention to another series in the Avatar universe, hoping that it, too, could be brought to life.

Stanley Kubrick was a peculiar man and so it’s really no wonder that his list of favorite films is so diverse. There are works by Welles and Chaplin and Bergman, but he also dug White Men Can’t Jump and The Jerk. Kubrick, too, apparently took to True Lies – so much so that he sat director James Cameron down and asked just how he pulled it off.
Back in the ‘90s, James Cameron decided to give himself a special 40th birthday present: the chance to meet Stanley Kubrick. And so after he gave him a call, he finally did so, encountering the legendary director between Full Metal Jacket and what would be his final film a few years later, Eyes Wide Shut. But Cameron was in for a surprise, as Kubrick was less interested in expounding on the depths of 2001: A Space Odyssey or playing chess but rather...

The Legend of Korra has perfectly continued the story of Avatar: The Last Airbender. If the original animated series introduced the world, the spin-off built upon it to a degree no one saw coming. One of the most explored aspects was that of bending; more specifically, how much more one could do as a bender.

During Aang’s time, it was as though we were shown only the tip of the iceberg. However, by the time Korra comes around, it is as though everything becomes more and more advanced. Suddenly, earthbenders and firebenders are also taking part in medicine, and airbenders could propel themselves like cannonballs.

Behind the scenes, director David Leitch and producer Kelly McCormick have been instrumental in the movement for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts to recognize stunts. The director-producer husband-wife team hasn’t been shy in using their new film, “The Fall Guy,” a love letter to stunt professionals, to advance the cause. And it’s a cause that is increasingly looking like it will become a reality; a significant victory came last spring with the creation of the new Production and Technology Academy branch, which includes stunt professionals and therefore supplies the necessary pathway to a Best Stunt Design category at the Oscars.
“We’ve always been in the shadows, [but] that’s not the problem,” Leitch said when he was a guest on an upcoming episode of the Toolkit podcast to discuss “The Fall Guy.” “That was maybe the misconception for the Academy, ‘Well, these guys want awards because they...

Ubisoft found themselves in hot water recently when it was revealed that one of the missions featuring Jabba the Hutt in the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws game would be sold as day one Dlc and locked behind a pricey paywall and the game’s special edition. Understandably this went on to cause much anger in the community, especially as Jabba has featured heavily in marketing to this point.
The games industry is at a very interesting point, the last few years have seen an increase in games as a service, micro-transactions, and Dlc. There has also been even more pushback from players, as games seem to be more about being vehicles used to make a quick buck, than being actual creative endeavors from studios that want to make a stamp on the medium.

Five years after it was first released, the legendary MCU film Avengers: Endgame still holds a special place in the hearts of fans. The cinematic event was preceded by the equally compelling Avengers: Infinity War, which saw many of the MCU’s beloved heroes be a victim of Thanos’ fatal Snap.
One of the highlights of the fourth Avengers film was the famous ‘Portal’ scene, which saw all of the heroes return back after the Og Avengers reverse the snap.

The animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was one of the most successful shows on Nickelodeon, was recently adapted into a live-action series on Netflix.

Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Aang remains a controversial character as many fans question if he really has not killed anybody despite the amount of fights and battles he has gone through. Surely, he has the skills and wits to control every element, but what about those who are not gifted like him?
Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender
The question still lingers: has Aang killed anyone? The general answer would be no, not explicitly. But certainly, fans cannot say he is completely innocent. Even though he is the Avatar and he follows certain tenets, he has still hurt a lot of people.
Reddit Fans Weigh In On Aang’s Total Number Of Kills
Avatar fans took their sentiments to Reddit and discussed Aang’s number of kills. One user noticed that the character did a lot of violent actions throughout the show, which implies that he could have killed some of them.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is hailed as one of the best cartoon TV shows of all time. Throughout its run on Nickelodeon and then later on streaming, the series has had a huge impact on popular culture, leading to several adaptations and merchandise.

While fans still hail the original series the best, it has since received a sequel, The Legend of Korra. Set in the same fictional universe, it follows the successor of Aang, Korra as she goes through an even tumultuous and modernized world. This modernized world is also characterized by advanced bending techniques that did not exist in the world of Avatar. Yet technological advancement wasn’t the series biggest gamble.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has its fair share of straight and queer ships, something that the fandom has endlessly debated about within both The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. While The Last Airbender was usually lagging in the canon queer relationship department, it seems that the live-action adaptation of the series amended that with its first season.
Ian Ousley as Sokka, Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara in season 1 of Avatar: The Last Airbender
The first season of the show covers a lot of ground. It has a lot more freedom compared to its animated iteration, given that it is a completely separate medium with a different audience in mind. This allowed the story to explore other themes that could only be alluded to in the animated version or had to be wholly absent thanks to the time it was made in and the audience it catered to.

Avatar: The Last Airbender introduced audiences to the bending arts, which was a fun spin on a tried and tested magic system that was based on the four classical elements. It fused the elements with martial arts, spirituality, and celestial objects, which was able to weave an original magic system with complex lore that intrigued fans about how the magic of the world of Avatar conducts itself.
Aang, in the Avatar State, is a key part of the magic system.
Complex magic systems like the bending arts tend to come with meticulous planning from the creators. However, there is one aspect of firbending in particular that is uncharacteristically left unexplored in the final seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender, a concept that factors heavily into the finale of the series.

One of the strongest characters to come out of Avatar: The Last Airbender was the General of the Fire Nation and former heir to the throne, Iroh. Serving as a kindhearted, funny, and wise mentor figure to Zuko, the Prince of the Fire Nation and his nephew, the character soon endeared himself to all the viewers.
Uncle Iroh and Zuko
There is no doubt that Iroh is one of the strongest characters in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but the show has alluded to his power multiple times, even when he is not fighting in a combat situation. The character is very spiritually attuned, something that usually indicates how powerful a character is in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Massive Entertainment released a new patch today for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandar. The new update 3.2 brings a few improvements and technical changes, the most notable being the addition of a 40 Fps mode.
Previously, Frontiers of Pandora came with 30 Fps and 60 Fps modes on all platforms, which allowed players to choose between performance or graphics as per their preference. The new 40 Fps mode will offer a middleground for players who want better visual experience without compromising too many framerates. This mode is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for now.
The developers have added support for Intel XeSS Super Sampling, which will make PC players happy. Intel’s technology helps non-rtx graphics cards push out Dlss-like visuals given the hardware supports. However, the new Avatar update has also “temporarily rolled back” support for Amd FSR3 for reasons unknown.

Avatar: The Legend of Korra and its predecessor Avatar: The Last Airbender draw a lot from real-world politics for a kid’s show. Dealing with issues like genocide, propaganda, and war, it is not a surprise that the show took inspiration from real-world political figures to talk about the themes it explores in its sequel series, The Legend of Korra.
Amon, from The Legend of Korra
There is a particular reading of the villain for the first season of Legend of Korra that equated him with Joseph Stalin, the leader of the former Ussr. The similarities between their philosophies, which focused on the democratization or eradication of unequal social structures is something that fans have pointed out, with Amon’s goal being towards equality, which manifested in him taking away bending from benders.
Amon’s idea of equality might have had a lot in common with Stalin’s ideas of communism

In the original show, Aang and Katara end up being together. However, fans have often wondered, if it was the plan to begin with, following the undertones in her and Zuko’s bond. Despite starting off on the wrong foot by living on opposite sides of the war, Katara did eventually start to see good in Zuko, but the original show never overtly inclined towards establishing a romantic bond.
But with the live-action series moving forward for two more seasons, the showrunner of the first season refused to indulge if the show will expand upon their bond.

This article contains mild spoilers for Shōgun and major ones for The Last Samurai.
A lonely Westerner who seems lost before he even steps off his ship; a strange land filled with ritualized grace and deadly niceties; and a culture shock that is both intoxicating and intimidating—even before our stranger sees the samurai masks and katana blades come out. This could very well be a description of the odyssey which English seaman John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) finds himself on in FX’s astonishing new limited series, Shōgun. Yet I’m actually describing a popular Tom Cruise vehicle loosely set in the same aesthetic: The Last Samurai.
Released in December 2003 to positive reviews and impressive box office (back when adult-skewing dramas could regularly net $454 million at the world box office), director Edward Zwick’s The Last Samurai was applauded in its time for its pensive soulfulness and kinetic action sequences.

Avatar: The Last Airbender introduced the world to a very creative way to work with a classic magic system: the four classical elements. The bending arts are some of the most well-conceived parts of Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, despite not being able to bend, one of the breakout characters of the show was Sokka.

Jack and Rose’s tragic romance in Titanic is considered to be one of the greatest love stories. James Cameron’s epic disaster film was known for its amazing practical and visual effects but has become a modern classic due to Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s acclaimed performances as the leading couple.
Though Cameron’s ambitious project runs over three hours, the filmmaker still had some deleted scenes on the cutting room floor. One of these scenes saw Jack and Rose singing ‘Come Josephine’ after their Irish Dance at the third class section. Fans were quick to notice that the song was hummed by the duo at different points in the film, including its heartbreaking ending.

The sci-fi action thriller stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Major Alan ‘Dutch’Schaefer, Carl Weathers as Al Dillon, Elpidia Carrillo as Anna Gonsalves, Bill Duke as Master Sergeant Mac Eliot and others.

James Cameron has backed a new UK film studio and said it could act as a base for his technology training center, but the £750M ($927M) Marlow Film Studios still requires a planning greenlight and is proving controversial in its local area.
According to the Financial Times, the triple Oscar-winner has written to Buckinghamshire Council in support of the plans in the past few weeks and said it could be a potential UK and European base and training centre for Lightstorm3D, a company Cameron has set up to develop tools and technology for movies.
Cameron said the 22.5% of global box office the UK delivered in 2023 will “grow as a result” of Marlow, which is in Buckinghamshire, South East England.
“But embracing that opportunity necessitates support and boldness in thinking,” the Ft reported Cameron wrote. “The next iteration of screen storytelling requires a purpose-built working space of exceptional quality, and trained professionals.

When Disney purchased the 20th Century Fox library in 2019, it caused some consternation among cineastes. The Fox catalog was vast and impressive, containing tons of indelible classics and even more titles waiting deep inside the studio's archive. 20th Century Fox was formed in 1935 and quickly became one of the "big five" studios that dominated the film industry for decades. Fox hadn't seen a shake-up this dramatic since 1985 when ultra-conservative media mogul Rubert Murdoch bought a controlling share of the company from Marvin Davis.
When Disney made its purchase, many film fans wondered if Fox's old classics would be made more widely available through the about-to-launch Disney+. When the streaming service debuted with a paltry 500 titles, cineastes were aghast. Why buy all those Fox titles if you're not going to distribute them?

It’s no secret that Zoe Saldana usually wears black dresses, and I couldn’t blame her—black is a classic and versatile color that can effortlessly create a stylish and sophisticated appearance.
After showcasing a series of black ensembles during the promotion of “The Absence of Eden” last month, Zoe Saldana made a striking return to the red carpet. Remarkably, she appeared in two identical black dresses at events only a few days apart.
Embracing Quiet Luxury: Zoe Saldana in Maison Margiela Midi Dress
Zoe Saldana and her husband of 11 years, Marco Perego, flew to Venice, Italy, recently to attend a gala dinner hosted by business magnate Francois Pinault, Salma Hayek’s husband, in celebration of the 60th Biennale Art 2024.
Arriving arm-in-arm at the Giorgio Cini Foundation, the lovebirds wore coordinating black outfits, with Marco in a classic suit and Zoe in a black midi dress.

The Papyrus font is still haunting Ryan Gosling, who faced his fears once again in the new live sketch of Saturday Night Live released this weekend. The font was used in James Cameron’s mega-successful franchise, Avatar which released its sequel two years ago. The 2017 Papyrus SNL video was a huge hit, which showed Ryan Gosling’s Steven Wingdings, who is bothered by the fact that the movie used that basic font for its logo.

Just as SNL returns with the Papyrus sequel, an old video of Cameron re-emerges where he acknowledges Gosling’s hilarious font obsession.

Dallas Liu’s Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation has already shown us how the actor can handle CGI fire, and that puts the character in the running for a host of pyrokinetic characters across media. However, one character that Liu himself wishes to essay is a race-bent Pyro, the character from the X-Men with the exact powerset as Zuko.
Dallas James Liu in Avatar: The Last Airbender
Liu has already essayed a role in the MCU, appearing in Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings as the younger brother of Akwafina’s character, but that has not deterred the actor from voicing his MCU wishlist, which includes the pyrokinetic mutant Pyro, who is set to appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, played by Aaron Stanford (who will be reprising his role back from his X-Men days)

[Editor’s Note: this list was originally published in November 2017. It has since been updated with Snyder’s further work to coincide with the release of “Rebel Moon — Part Two.”]
Zack Snyder is possibly the most polarizing mainstream filmmaker of the 21st century. His name alone is enough to launch a thousand angry tweets, and the most passionate writing about his work is exclusively found in the comment sections of websites or as social media replies. Snyder’s critics really seem to hate him, and Snyder’s fans really seem to hate his critics. At this point, a Marvel / DC movie crossover might be a lot more plausible than finding any sort of common ground between those two camps. Is Snyder a master or a hack? A misunderstood myth-maker, or a meathead with a movie camera?
One thing we can say for sure is that no contemporary auteur has more awesomely investigated what it means to be a hero in a fallen world. The Pasadena native...

This article contains spoilers for X-Men ’97
X-Men ’97 has released about six episodes so far, and each one has been praised for the quality of its animation and storytelling. With a cast committed to delivering a great performance, the show has received nothing but praise each week, singlehandedly eradicating superhero fatigue from the cultural zeitgeist.
X-Men ’97
X-Men ’97 directors Chase Conley and Emi Yonemura talked to ComicBook.com about their latest episode, Lifedeath Part 2, one that deals with Storm regaining her powers after they were stripped from her in the second episode of the show. They also mentioned one major constraint that the team faced while making the episodes, and how they approached it as an opportunity to be creative rather than look at it as a problem.
