CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Ever since things started to shut down around the country more than a year ago weve been waiting for the day that things "get back to normal." While its far from clear that things will ever be entirely like they were before the shutdown, we have seen a slow progression toward something that much more closely resembles the pre-pandemic world. As vaccinations have become more prevalent restrictions have slowly been relaxed, and thats certainly true at theme parks lik...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, and been one of the highest paid (and busiest) actors in Hollywood for years. Hes been part of numerous successful franchises that have made billions of dollars. And yet, his own children are apparently just obsessed with Jason Momoas Aquaman. At first, it seemed like The Rock was cool with his kids loving Aquaman, but now, it looks like the most electrifying man in all of entertainment might be getting...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Back in the pre-pandemic times when people went to movies and box office receipts were a valid measure of success, Sonic the Hedgehog was a surprise global hit. While most video game based movies have had their struggles, Sonic became one of the most successful films based on a game, so a sequel being greenlit was far from shocking. We knew, thanks to the first movies post-credits sequence, that Sonics video game sidekick Tails was almost certainly going to be in...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Last week Disneyland tickets were finally available to purchase for the first time in over a year, and to say that there was "pent up demand" -- the phrase that The Walt Disney Company has been using to ensure investors stayed happy -- would be something of an understatement. The wait for both Disneyland tickets and reservations at the Grand Californian Hotel and Spa was hours and hours long on Thursday and is only now really getting under control. As CinemaBlends ...

Copy to clipboard Nudity on screen is often a big deal. Being willing to put your body out there with literally no protection is a decision that few actors take lightly. Not only do you have to be willing to do it in front of a crew of people while making the film, but you also do it knowing that it will be seen by perhaps millions of people. Its sort of amazing anybody takes their clothes off on screen. But both Sebastian Stan and his co-star Denise Gough do exactly that for their new relation...

However, considering everything that the ninth movie in the franchise is promising, theres little surprise there. While the triumphant return of Han may be the development that fans have the most questions about, theres also a lot of interest in John Cenas debut in the franchise as Dominic Torettos brother.

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Despite its name, a solo movie starring The Flash has been one of the slower projects to make it to screens since the launch of DCs movie universe. While the movie was announced back when we first confirmed we would get the entire DC Justice League, the project saw one delay after another after a host of directors worked their way into and out of the project. But now, after all that, time. the movies current director, Andy Muschietti, as finally confirmed that movi...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard The global pandemic was pretty much bad news for everybody involved, but if there was one good thing that came out of it, it was learning that Sylvester Stallone had decided to keep himself busy by creating a directors cut of Rocky IV. The new version of one of the most popular films in the Rocky franchise will be here very soon, but now Stallone has revealed thats not the only thing were getting thats new.
