Dave Chappelle asked Netflix to remove Chappelle’s Show from their streaming service over money concerns. The streaming service immediately fulfilled Chappelle’s request and the hit series is no longer available to subscribers. The comedian has spent years explaining his side of the story when working with Comedy Central and Viacom CBS over 15 years ago. Chappelle created a new kind of sketch comedy series that pushed the envelope and influenced a generation of up and coming comedians, but he reportedly was never compensated after leaving the show....

The director talks about bringing the popular book to the big screen, working with Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston and more Director David Frankel definitely doesn’t like to work on the same kind of project, whether it be film or TV. After directing two episodes of the critically-acclaimed mini-series Band of Brothers, he went on to direct episodes of Sex and the City as well as the pilot of Entourage before going back to the box office with The Devil Wears Prada....

The pre-James Gunn DC Universe is a gnarled fishing line of a mess. It’s a tangle of canceled sequels, a bowed-out Batman, mixed reviews, and a weak box office. Not to mention a tenuous fandom that had to literally petition to pry the completed version of Justice League from Warner Brothers. The DCU’s struggles have been especially glaring in the face of the neatly executed and linear Marvel Cinematic Universe. The line of demarcation for the DCU’s troubles is undoubtedly the failure of the patchwork, butchered Justice League in 2017....

According to Variety, Marc Cherry has signed a two-year extension with ABC Studios that could keep Desperate Housewives on the air through 2013.

In addition to this, Bob Daily, Cherry’s top Housewives lieutenant, will also be with the show during “those potential eighth and ninth years....

When it was reported yesterday that Disney+ had seemingly made minor cuts to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to remove some violent scenes, it was widely believed that there could be some work in progress by Disney to “clean up” some of their continue. Given their past history of making subtle changes to older content when added to the platform, this was not too much of a stretch of the imagination....

A hero is nothing without their villain. Traditionally, the hero needs a compelling reason to go up against the big, bad bully. However, as storytelling has evolved to show the hero being as flawed as the villain, the antihero narrative is becoming more commonplace. Disney films, in fact, began centering toxic behavior as the villain, like with Abuela in Encanto. Though this is a recent storyline. Without retelling the story of some older Disney villains, it’s possible they, too, are victims of their environment and are taking back control, even if they do so in odd ways....

Drafthouse Films, the film distribution arm of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, announced today the acquisition of North American rights to the international hit Danish comedy series Klovn.

Marvel always have a plan when it comes to their post-credit scenes, and recently those plans have been changing constantly up to the point the scenes appear in the final version of the movie they are tagged on the end of. Eternals has two post credit scenes, and the second of these sets up the character of the Black Knight, the alter ego of Kit Harington’s Dane Whitman and also teases the arrival of another long awaited character to the MCU in the form of Blade....

Martin Freeman is well-known and beloved as the respectable, kind, and cheery Bilbo Baggins, the lead character of The Hobbit movies in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings universe. This is hardly his only friendly and kind ’nice guy’ character. Freeman got his start as the funny and arguably one of the most likable characters in the original British series The Office, Tim Canterbury (played by John Krasinski as Jim Halpert in the American version)....

Get ready for what looks like it could be a nice return to one of the greatest worlds that horror has ever created. While most of The Exorcist sequels serve as a major disappointment, Fox managed to craft something fans could really latch onto with The Exorcist TV series last year, which tied in directly to the original movie. The Exorcist season 2 is getting ready to possess viewers later this month on Friday, September 29....

Upon using the phrase “based on a true story,” an audience turns over their entire attention and invests wholly into what events may play out on the screen before them. There is a sense of reality that is grounded when it is disclosed that the inspiration comes from the real world around us. It serves as an anchoring point that binds fiction to reality and creates a point of overlap between filmmaker and filmgoer....
