Gore Verbinski Reportedly Set To Helm An Untitled Animated Film For Netflix

Gore Verbinski Exits Directing Channing Tatum's 'Gambit' – Variety

Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski has signed on to helm a new animated film for Netflix, according to Discussing Film.

We have no idea what the project will be about, but it's said to be a CG animated film based on an original concept from the director, who will also produce.

Verbinski has previously helmed the likes of The Ring, The Weather Man, The Lone Ranger, the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and most recently 2016's The Cure for Wellness. He last foray into the world of animation resulted in the well-received Rango.

Will WWE 2K21 Be Replaced By Another Video Game?

WWE 2K20 Cover Superstars Becky Lynch & Roman Reigns Usher In ...


Switching to the world of video games next, and we may have some disappointing news for fans of WWE's 2K series.

After the lackluster critical and commercial reaction to 2K20, rumor has it that Visual Concepts and 2K Sports have cancelled plans for 2K21. However, a "different kind of WWE game from a different kind of game developer" is reportedly in the works as a replacement.

We don't have any details on that game, but you can check out the video report for yourselves here.

Disney May Be Considering A Live-Action Remake Of The Black Cauldron

Is 'The Black Cauldron' (1985) available to watch on UK Netflix ...

It was recently revealed that Disney's Robin Hood was next in line for the live-action treatment, but we're hearing that the Mouse House may also be considering a new take on The Black Cauldron.

A notorious flop, the 1985 fantasy adventure has long been considered the black sheep of Disney's animated library, but our source indicates that the studio may have decided to revisit the property amid renewed interest in the fantasy genre, and could look into re-adapting Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain.

Whether that would be for the big screen or Disney+ is not clear at this point, but even if this is something Disney is considering, it sounds like it's very early days.

The Black Knight Will Reportedly Sport A Comic-Accurate Costume In Marvel's Eternals

10 Things You Need To Know About Marvel's Black Knight | CBR


Although we've only seen Kit Harington's Dane Whitman dressed in civilian garb in the various Eternals set photos that were shared online, the character will reportedly don a comic-accurate Black Knight costume at some point in the Marvel Studios film.

The Direct reports that because pre-production was rushed in order to meet the movie’s filming schedule, digital elements will be have to be added to Harington's outfit to complete the look in post. This wouldn't be the first time Marvel has utilized CGI to enhance a character's costume, but The Black Knight has sported several different costumes over the years, so "comic-accurate" takes on a much broader meaning in this instance.

Anyway, we assume it'll be some combunation of a sword, a helmet and a cloak!

Possible Venom 2 Trailer Description

First Look At Woody Harrelson As Cletus Kasady In 'Venom 2' Revealed


Finally, we have a possible description of the first trailer for Venom 2, which is expected to debut at some point over the next couple of weeks.

The breakdown comes from a Russian site, so after being filtered through Google Translate it's a bit all over the place, but you should be able to get the gist. Apparently, the teaser is quite Carnage heavy, and begins with Cletus Kasady terrifying some trick-or-treaters by transforming into his monstrous symbiote form. There's also some Eddie Brock action, and a shot of Kasady being fired upon by the police right at the end.

Honestly, this sounds made up to us, but check out the full thing here and let us know what you think.

Pre-Production was rushed??
Idk, that sounds very Un-Marvel-like, plus, don't these movies have costume designs made years in advance? I know something similar happened with the Quantum Suits, but that was cuz they shot IW and Endgame back-to-back. Marvel tends to start exploring concepts for characters early on in the game.

2k was the worst thing for wwe. They’ve turned their basketball games into a micro transaction based glitch fest and tried to turn the wwe games into the same thing. Good riddance.

I’ll believe the venom trailer rumors when I see it. Wasn’t it supposed to come online like two weeks ago? What happened to that.
