Disneyland has now expanded virtual queues beyond Rise of the Resistance which could be a big deal.

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Of all the former professional wrestlers turned movie stars, nobody has ever put together a collection of films quite as different as Dave Bautista. Hes done the big action movies that youd expect somebody from that world to do, but hes also done family comedies, serious dramatic roles, and everything in between. Bautista is clearly on a different career trajectory then others who have been in a similar position, and the future Dune actor says thats ultimately why...

CinemaBlend Black Widow, a film that was originally set to debut last May. While we still have to wait a couple more months to see the film, a collection of brand new character posters were dropped online and since theres nothing else to talk about, fans are making their own fun. Right now, that fun is focused on Taskmaster, who is a character who is as mysterious as he is, awesome, or hilarious, depending on your point-of-view. Whether the live-action design for Taskmaster is "good" or not see...

CinemaBlend Paul Walker may be gone but his influence on the franchise that made him famous, the Fast and Furious series, can still be felt, even years later. Walker will forever be associate with the role of Brian OConner, which he played in six different films. One cannot think of the franchise without thinking about the actor, which makes it that much more unbelievable that if things had shaken out a little differently 20 years ago, its possible Walker might have never been in The Fast and...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard In the last few years weve seen several major stars, both in front of the camera and behind it, accused of using their positions of power to perpetuate abuse. In some cases weve seen actual criminal charges filed and even prison sentences. One major name that has come up not infrequently in these conversations is James Franco. The actor has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women and Seth Rogen, who has worked with Franco several times, and previously s...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Theme parks have had to get creative under the current conditions. While many people are more than happy to visit theme parks, others have been more apprehensive about making the trip, and others are simply unable to do so. As such, the parks have had to find ways to not only bring in guests, but keep the same guests coming back. Universal Orlando Resort may have found the perfect way to keep guests coming back to the resort again and again. Following an incredibly...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Space Jam: A New Legacy is set to be released, both in theaters and on HBO Max, in just over two months. Its almost unbelievable, considering just how long people have been trying to make this movie happen that it is almost here. And the sequel to Space Jam will almost certainly open on the current schedule, as the movie just completed the post-production process, meaning that the movie is now ready to be released. The news that Space Jam: A New Legacy is officia...

CinemaBlend Next week, the ninth entry in the Saw franchise will open, with Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson starring in Spiral: From the Book of Saw. Exactly how this new film will tie into the existing franchise from a storyline perspective isnt entirely clear, as much of that is being kept under wraps. However, its a safe bet that whoever the ultimate villain of the movie turns out to be, it probably wont by Tobin Bells John Kramer, the original Jigsaw. That means somebody else is either d...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Disneyland has only been open for a week and already the theme park has been the center of a controversy, albeit a strange one. The update to the Snow White dark ride, Snow Whites Enchanted Wish, included a number of improvements to the attraction, but one change was seen as unnecessary by at least one writer, who was critical of the inclusion of the "true loves kiss" moment, as it was technically a non-consensual kiss. What followed was a cascade of overreactions....

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Some theme park attractions become classics and remain mostly unchanged for decades. Others get significantly refurbished or replaced after it becomes clear that the old attraction just isnt working the same way anymore, no matter how much fun it may be. Thats about where we stand with the Rock n Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith found at Disneys Hollywood Studios inside Walt Disney World. The ride is still a lot of fun, and its perhaps the best roller coaster in W...
