Director Gareth Edwards made a name for himself with 2014’s Godzilla, which laid the foundation for the commercially successful Monsterverse franchise. Edwards tasted further success with 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which received critical acclaim and is widely considered one of the best entries in the franchise since Empire Strikes Back.

However, after directing two franchise movies, Edwards has remained away from blockbuster filmmaking. During an interview, Edwards was asked whether he would be willing to make a return to franchise filmmaking. Edwards left the door open on a potential return to Star Wars but also set up his condition for undertaking another movie in the hit franchise.

In 1954, the first-ever live-action Godzilla movie aired on the screens. Ever since the fictional prehistoric monster has appeared in dozens of outings and has had a cultural impact across generations.
Hollywood carried out its own adaptations of the creature with a set of movies before connecting them into a Marvel-style connected termed the Monsterverse, kick-starting in 2014. While the entertainment aspect of these films never came into question, their status as cinema gems now has taken center stage.

One fandom's loss is another's gain, apparently. While Marvel Studios has been undergoing something of an identity crisis in recent years, capped by Disney's Bob Iger actually promising to slow down production of movies and shows during a shareholder call while Marvel's Brad Winderbaum recently copped to the shortcomings of the #ItsAllConnected approach, one of the bigger casualties has been the shaky status of the announced "Blade" movie. Starring the great Mahershala Ali as the eponymous vampire hunter, the film has undergone quite a bit of behind-the-scenes chaos, from directorial changes to significant amounts of creative overhaul -- to the extent, in fact, that the star reportedly came this close to parting ways with the studio altogether. Well, Marvel fans can consider this latest development as yet another troublesome sign. Dinosaur fans, meanwhile, have our permission to rejoice.

We've heard conflicting reports about Marvel Studios' plans for a fifth solo Thor movie (not exactly surprising after the reception to Love and Thunder), but this latest rumor claims that the movie is indeed officially in development, and is scheduled to film as soon as next year.
According to Daniel Richtman, Thor 5 is "listed as happening on the grid to film Fall 2025." He adds that he's "not sure if it means it will be a post-Secret Wars project, my bet would be yes." Marvel is said to be searching for a writer and director for the project.
Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi took himself out of the running to helm the movie late last year. An earlier rumor claimed that Gareth Edwards was being eyed to take over.

Nearly a decade ago, Oscar-winning cinematographer Greig Fraser was hanging out at one of Roger and James Deakins’ famous barbecues when he was introduced to a French-Canadian man he didn’t immediately recognize. But as soon as he put a face to the name “Denis Villeneuve,” he instantly called to mind two of the filmmaker’s critically acclaimed Canadian films, Polytechnique (2009) and Incendies (2010), as well as his American debut, Prisoners (2013), that he shot with the co-host of that day’s festivities, Roger Deakins. So Fraser and Villeneuve got to know each other that day, before going their separate ways for a few years.
During the intervening time period, Fraser photographed a handful of projects including the first Star Wars spinoff film, Rogue One (2016), as well as the first live-action Star Wars series in The Mandalorian. And then, in 2018, Villeneuve reached out regarding the Dp position on his forthcoming adaptation of...

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...

A few days ago, Fangoria ran an article on character actor Ralph Ineson, whose credits include The Witch, The First Omen, Brahms: The Boy II, The Creator, Willow, The Green Knight, and much more, naming him “a modern horror icon.” Ineson took to social media to thank Fangoria for their kind words – and in response to Ineson’s post, director Guillermo del Toro revealed that Ineson has a “pivotal cameo” in his latest film, Frankenstein! He added that Ineson is amazing and fun to work with.
Ineson responded to del Toro, saying, “Thank you Boss, your set is a joyous place to be.”
Del Toro’s Frankenstein, which is a long-awaited passion project for the filmmaker, might have the following logline: Set in Eastern Europe in the 19th Century, the story of Dr. Pretorius, who needs to track down Frankenstein’s monster- who is believed to have died in a...

Universal and Amblin aren’t wasting any time revamping the dinosaur-centric “Jurassic World,” “Jurassic Park” franchise, as the two studios are looking to begin shooting the seventh film in the series. To be directed by Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One,” “The Creator”) and already starring Scarlett Johansson (“Black Widow,” “Marriage Story“), Deadline reports that Jonathan Bailey (“Bridgerton,” “Fellow Travelers”) is in early talks to join “Jurassic World 4,” which has been described as a soft reboot without any characters or actors from the other films expected to appear (although that could change).

Following reports suggesting Dev Patel might be joining Scarlett Johansson in Jurassic City, more names are now in the casting mix.
Watching the film that may or may not be called Jurassic City come together in double quick time has been a fun process to observe. First David Leitch was directing, then he was out due to ‘creative differences’. Then, Gareth Edwards, the filmmaker behind Rogue One and The Creator was in, working on a script by original Jurassic Park writer, David Koepp.
Since then, Scarlett Johansson and Dev Patel are both rumoured to have signed up for the project which, unbelievably, is set to arrive in cinemas next summer.
While huge productions like this one aren’t well known for coming together quickly and then going on to be brilliant, we’re heartened by the stories that originally circulated suggesting that Universal was looking to fast track this production...

On Saturday night, Tyler the Creator headlined Coachella 2024 with a stunning, immersive performance, augmented by special guests like Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis, A$AP Rocky, and more.
With the stage decorated by massive sets and a wrap-around screen depicting an idyllic desert scene, Tyler’s set was a theatrical triumph. Throughout the set, the visuals morphed between cool starry nights and warm, sunshiney bliss, as Tyler exploded out of a camper van, donned an epic park ranger fit, scaled a cliff, and brought out his many guests.
The night’s surprise features began with Childish Gambino taking the stage for the Igor track “Running Out Of Time.” After that, A$AP Rocky helped deliver “Potato Salad” and “Who Dat Boy,” and Charlie Wilson loaned his voice to “Earfquake.”
A highlight of the set was its second-to-last song, “See You Again,” for which Tyler and Uchis dueted across the desert landscape.

Dev Patel is the latest actor who could be poised to join Gareth Edwards’ Jurassic sequel, which will also star Scarlett Johansson.
Dev Patel, who recently turned director and action star with Monkey Man, is said to be ‘in talks’ to co-star in Gareth Edwards’ upcoming Jurassic Park (or Jurassic World) reboot, which has been dubbed Jurassic City.
The report comes via the reliably connected Daniel Richtman (via World of Reel); if all goes to plan, then Patel will co-star alongside Scarlett Johansson – not to mention a number of CGI dinosaurs – in the upcoming film.
It’s likely we’ll be hearing one or two more similar casting announcements over the next few months, given that production is having to move at a fast pace on the next Jurassic film.

We look ahead to Gareth Edwards’ Jurassic City, what it might be like, and how it connects to his very earliest work.
In the press tour for his 2023 sci-fi film The Creator, British director Gareth Edwards suggested that, after the bruising experiences of making 2014’s Godzilla and in particular 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, he wouldn’t rush to go back to studio filmmaking again.
Suggesting that both of those films had started production without finalised scripts, Edwards said as recently as January that “I have to concentrate on personal and original projects.”
This stance appeared to change rather abruptly just one month later, when Universal approached Edwards with the offer to direct the next Jurassic Park (or Jurassic World) sequel. Original director David Leitch had dropped out, and with the film’s production racing to meet a self-set 2025 release date, Universal Pictures needed a replacement in a...

The album comes after 7 years since her previous album, El Dorado, in 2017 and the singer/ songwriter seems to be jazzed than ever with her new music and the direction that she taking with it.
Shakira and her sons did not enjoy Barbie
The singer riled up audiences when she made some controversial comments about Barbie and its depiction of men, in an interview. She also talked about how the Biblical figure Eve was a creation of misogynists in the same interview, and this led fans to interpret it as a damage control PR move.

Takashi Yamazaki, the Japanese filmmaker behind Oscar-winning smash hit “Godzilla Minus One,” has signed with CAA for representation.
“Godzilla Minus One,” on which Yamazaki served as writer, director and VFX supervisor, earned the first-ever nomination and win for a Japanese production in the VFX category at the Academy Awards earlier this month. The film beat strong contenders such as “The Creator,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” and “Napoleon.” The Oscar win also marked the second time in 55 years that a director won the VFX award.
“Godzilla Minus One” also became the third-highest grossing foreign language feature in the U.S. box office history.
Budgeted at $15 million, the film follows former Kamikaze pilot Kōichi Shikishima (Kamiki Ryunosuke), who grapples with survivor’s guilt following World War II and the trauma of having been attacked by Godzilla. While he manages to build a life for his newfound family,...

When it comes to appreciation for visual effects, it’s often the blockbusters that get the most attention, as evidenced in each year’s Oscar nominees––in 2024, for example, The Creator, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Napoleon, and the deserved winner Godzilla Minus One. However, I often find it more interesting to see how smaller productions seamlessly integrate rather invisible visual effects in unexpected places.
Such is the case for Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar-winning Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest, which employed the team at One of Us, led by on-set Supervisor Bodie Clare, VFX Supervisor Guillaume Menard, and VFX Producer Harry Landymore.

Scarlett Johansson has found her next big franchise, and she's going to tangle with dinosaurs this time around. The "Black Widow" actor has officially entered talks to star in the new "Jurassic World" movie currently in the works at Universal Pictures. The project has been coming together very quickly behind the scenes in recent weeks. Should Johanson sign on the dotted line, it would provide some major A-list power to the proceedings.
The InSneider first reported the news a couple of weeks ago, but The Hollywood Reporter has now confirmed the development. There are currently no details on the character Johansson would be playing in the "Jurassic" universe.

The Jurassic World franchise is headed back to the big screen in 2025 with a brand new untitled movie, and THR reports that Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) is in talks to star.
Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla, The Creator) will be directing the new installment, with original Jurassic Park writer David Koepp returning to write the screenplay.
Jurassic World returns to theaters on July 2, 2025. Stay tuned for more.
The new movie is expected to usher in a brand new Jurassic Era with Jurassic World cast members Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard not expected to return.

The Jurassic World trilogy starring Chris Pratt continued where Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park trilogy left off and expanded the universe of Michael Crichton’s original novel. Now, while Dominion was supposed to be the last movie in the series, but it was soon confirmed that a seventh film was in the works and as of today, we have some interesting casting rumors regarding the movie.
Back in January 2024, it was reported that a seventh movie was in the works, with the studio looking to do a soft reboot of the franchise; the film probably won’t erase the events of the two previous trilogies, but a fresh start is what the producers are looking for, which is why Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Chris Pratt, and Bryce Dallas Howard are not expected to reprise their roles.

Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow had been one of the primary faces of the MCU’s Infinity Saga. She amassed a huge fanbase for playing Black Widow. Now, it looks like the star is all set to join a new big-budget franchise, Jurassic World. According to the latest reports, the actress has been offered a role in the upcoming film in the franchise created by Gareth Edwards.
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow
The fans were disheartened when Black Widow had an unfortunate end in Avengers: Endgame. The character made a massive contribution to Scarlett Johansson’s career. She also holds the record for being the second highest-grossing box office star of all time. If the reports are true and if she proceeds with the Jurassic World offer, then we may see her in another billion-dollar film franchise.

The King of Monsters finally has his share of Oscars glory.
In an ironic triumph of small over large, Japanese monster movie sensation Godzilla Minus One — which was made for only about $15 million — beat out four big-budget Hollywood tentpoles to win the best visual effects category. It’s the first time in decades that a non-u.S. studio film has won the category. Despite its deep influence on the history of visual effects in cinema, this year was the first time in the Godzilla franchise’s seven-decade history that it was nominated for an Oscar.
Godzilla Minus One was written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who also headed up the film’s VFX team, which included Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi and Tatsuji Nojima. The team is now Japan’s first-ever winner of the best visual effects Oscar. In another rarity, a director winning the category has only occurred once before...

Godzilla Minus One created history on January 23 at the Oscars by being the first movie in the 70-year history of the Godzilla franchise to receive a nomination for Best Visual Effects. As of now, director Takashi Yamazaki, along with the rest of the crew, holds the distinction of being the first Japanese recipient of the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. A much-awaited win!
In addition to their exceptional work on Godzilla Minus One, Masaki Takahashi, Tatsuji Nojima, Kiyoko Shibuya, and Takashi Yamazaki were recognized with awards for Best Visual Effects. But the Academy recently faced criticism for treating a crew member of the 2023 Japanese epic Kaiju film disrespectfully, given that the member was having difficulty speaking English.

This incident has enraged many fans and industry professionals because it highlights a much larger problem: systemic discrimination in Hollywood.
