With Marvel, Pixar, its animated films and its live-action versions of classic animations, Disney has had huge amounts of success in the past few years. It’s also had some bombs, where films were hyped to the hilt and then underperformed at the box office. That includes John Carter, The Lone Ranger and Tron: Legacy.
Although the last of those wasn’t a complete failure (it made around $400 million), it certainly didn’t click with audiences in the way Disney had hoped, as they were planning TV series and an ongoing movie franchise, which quietly got pushed to one side. However the studio hasn’t given up on Tron, and has been working on a new movie set in that world.
Now it looks like they’re starting to move forward, as THR reports that Jared Leto is circling the movie. The film is a bit of a reboot, as it won’t be a full-on sequel to Tron: Legacy, but will use some of the ideas from the third Tron movie that Disney previously commissioned a script for.
It’s still early days as no director is attached and a writer hasn’t been hired yet sort out the script. However, they’re hoping to get Leto onboard and build the film around him as a star vehicle.
It’s always nice to see Anthony Rapp on the screen, and now he’s back with bwoy, the latest movie from Parallel Sons and The Reception director John G. Young. The movie premiered last year at Chicago’s Reeling Film LGBTQ+ Festival to a pretty postive response.
I’m still not sure why the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie is called Dead Men Tell No Tales in the US, but in the UK it’s Salazar’s Revenge. Now a new trailer has arrived, which tells us more about the plot than anything we’ve seen before, and exactly why Javier Bardem’s Salazar is after revenge – which involves a very youthful Jack Sparrow.
CHIPS may be fondly remembered in the US, but it never had the same impact over here in the UK. However, Warner Bros. must feel there’s enough life in the franchise, as they’ve decided to take the 1970s Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox TV show, and turn it into a movie.
With Jane Lynch executive producing, as well as the Glee star appearing alongside a great list of guest stars – many of which feature in the trailer below – Dropping The Soap certainly looks like it’s got plenty of potential. The show arrives on streaming services on March 7th, including the gay-centric subscription service, 
Award-winning writer/director Del Shores’ play, Sordid Lives, has had quite a life, spawning a movie and TV series. Now he’s returning to that world for a sequel, A Very Sordid Wedding. The trailer for the movie has now arrived, which you can watch below.
It was only revealed a few hours ago, but already some of the right-wing press are talking about it as if it’s the official end of the world, but there’s going to be an ‘exclusively gay’ moment in a Disney movie. It’s been a long time coming, as despite the company itself and its theme parks being known as extremely gay-friendly, on-screen Disney has a very bad track record with LGBT characters. Indeed, in 
The new Alien: Covenant trailer is certainly intriguing. After the mixed reaction to Prometheus, it’s certainly keen to show this will be a more typical Alien movie, while also suggesting it won’t be exactly the same as the earlier movies.
Although we’ve had a couple of promos for the excellent looking Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, one thing we haven’t seen is Kurt Russell as Star Lord’s father, Ego the Living Planet. That’s now been remedied with a new trailer – although you have to wait until the very end to see him. Oddly, he does look like he really could be Chris Pratt’s dad.
Today Netflix was in Berlin, trying to woo the European market and showing off some of its upcoming wares. After releasing a trailer for Bright, starring Will Smith a couple of days ago, they decided today was a good time for the first teaser for another film they’ve got up their sleeve featuring a-list talent – War Machine, starring Brad Pitt.
