Sony Pictures' Madame Web managed to assemble an impressive cast of already established stars and young up-and-coming actresses to play the lead roles... which may have been somewhat baffling to anyone who watched the movie.
We have heard that the movie turned out to be very different to the one the cast signed on to appear in, with a reworked (and inferior) script and a rushed production resulting in the disjointed mess that went on to bomb at the box office and earn an abysmal 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's entirely possible that the cast simply didn't realize what they were getting themselves into (nobody sets out to make a bad movie... which can be hard to believe sometimes), but a new report claims that Sydney Sweeney may have had her own reasons for agreeing to make the film.

Exclusive: More than a decade after his last feature directorial outing with The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, Jay Duplass is back behind the camera for See You When I See You, a comedic family drama to star Cooper Raiff (Cha Cha Real Smooth), David Duchovny (Californication), Hope Davis (Succession), Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody), and Ariela Barer (How to Blow Up a Pipeline).
An exploration of the intricacies of grief and healing, currently in production in Atlanta, See You When I See You is scripted by actor, comedian and writer Adam Cayton-Holland (Those Who Can’t). The film is inspired by Cayton-Holland’s acclaimed memoir Tragedy Plus Time: A Tragi-Comic Memoir, the winner of the 2019 Colorado Book Award for Creative Non-Fiction, which examines the impact of his younger sister Lydia’s suicide on him and his family.

The timbre around DC and Marvel has changed dramatically – it has, perhaps, evolved way more in 2024 than it ever did previously. James Gunn and Peter Safran are now at DC rebooting its film franchise with a more ‘take-everyone-along’ approach. Fans are hoping for it to be a far cry from Snyder’s DC universe, which on its best days made very little sense. A new Superman film will kick things off next year with Matt Reeves’ Batman sequel tabled after that. For television, Paradise Lost (a series about Themyscira) is also under development.
Marvel, meanwhile, is still struggling to navigate the unsettling post-Phase III seas – so much so that Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom had to be announced to steady the sails. After the cultural phenomenon of the Infinity Saga, and the tottering Multiverse, Phase V has, until now, paled in comparison. Projects like Blade and Fantastic Four remain highly anticipated,...

Love it or hate it, Rotten Tomatoes is now more important than ever when it comes to whether moviegoers decide to check out the latest releases on the big screen, and it's not uncommon for studios to tout scores as proudly as star ratings.
It's been quite the ride for the Spider-Man franchise over the years. His 2002 movie was a game-changer for the genre, and what's followed has been an amazing and sometimes disappointing journey for the web-slinger. Of course, the Universe continues to expand even without Peter Parker with the likes of Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web.
After Spider-Man: No Way Home blew the minds of fans, last year saw us step back into the Multiverse for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Its predecessor, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, won an Oscar and the follow-up will likely do the same next month.

Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.
Daaaaaalí! (Quentin Dupieux)
At the time of year where every other film is a biopic chasing prestige respectability, we are lucky to have Quentin Dupieux, the prolific, serious-minded, silly filmmaker perfectly positioned to take a sledgehammer to the genre. His second 2023 feature has been described as a “real fake biopic” of Salvador Dalí but is best understood as a return to the heightened analysis of cinematic storytelling à la 2010 breakthrough Rubber––a movie which increasingly looks like the rare weak spot in a filmography equal-parts playful and thoughtful. – Alistair R. (full review)
Where to Stream: VOD
Daddio (Christy Hall)

Spider-Man has had a strong go of things over at Sony. The Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy is considered one of the cornerstone comic book entries and the Andrew Garfield reboot has a solid fanbase. Surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) Sony’s attempt at a shared Spider-Man universe without the iconic hero has mostly floundered. At its worst it’s unwatchable and at its best it’s passable. So now, with Venom: The Last Dance hitting theaters and brining an end to the symbiotic trilogy that launched the mishandled universe, we’re ranking all of the movies from worst to best.

Exclusive Updated: Private equity firm Tpg has revealed the name of the talent management-centric company it launched in June in conjunction with acquiring a majority stake in Untitled Entertainment. Named Initial Group, the subsidiary has made a second investment, completing the long-rumored acquisition of literary management firm Grandview. It will be combined under the banner of the larger, actor-focused Untitled, significantly bolstering its lit representation capabilities.
Jeff Silver and Matt Rosen, who co-founded Grandview, have been named Managing Partners of the combined company, joining Untitled’s founding partners Jason Weinberg and Stephanie Simon.
Additionally, Grandview’s Merideth Bajana, Jeremy Platt, and Ben Rowe will be joining the Untitled partner ranks that include Evan Hainey, Elise Konialian, Jennifer Levine, Jason Newman, recently promoted Steven Nossokoff, and Alissa Vradenburg.

Most of us can only dream of meeting our celebrity idols but there are a select few who end up not only meeting but also bonding with their idols. Billie Eilish has often spoken about several artists who inspired her musical journey, one of them being Tyler, the Creator.
A few months ago, the Bad Guy singer got the opportunity to prank call celebs during an interview, and Eilish took it in stride. Along with several other Hollywood bigwigs, she called the Earfquake rapper and narrated a hilarious make-believe incident to them. The rapper’s carefree response and chilled attitude amused fans as they tried to understand his friend’s situation.

Please Don’t Destroy returned to “Saturday Night Live” this week with a new sketch, their first of the season. The show’s in-house comedy troupe — made up of writers Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy — showed up with Higgns and Herlihy as would-be skydivers, while Marshall served as their instructor… who was feeling deeply bad vibes.
Higgins and Herlihy played friends on a skydiving trip to celebrate a birthday. As they’re preparing to jump from the plane, it becomes apparent that the crew onboard is in no condition to facilitate the jump.
Instructor Marshall tells the pair that he’s feeling a little “weird” about leaping from the plane, which isn’t exactly the kind of pep talk you want to hear before making the same commitment. “I’m usually never nervous. Just woke up feeling off today. Like, luck is just not on my side,” Marshall explained.

Before long, the world will get to see Paul Mescal's performance in Ridley Scott's highly-anticipated, long-simmering sequel "Gladiator II" as Lucius Verus, son of the original film's protagonist Maximus (Russell Crowe). If you're unfamiliar with Mescal's game, though, you might want to prepare for "Gladiator II" by watching the actor's incredible breakout role in the miniseries "Normal People," based on Sally Rooney's bestselling second novel.
"Normal People" became a huge pop culture phenomenon when it hit Hulu in the spring of 2020 — by pure chance, it ended up coming out just as the entire world entered quarantine thanks to the Covid-19 virus, leaving people to watch a whole lot of TV at home — and the series absolutely put Mescal and his co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones on the map.
Mescal ultimately earned an Emmy nomination for outstanding lead actor in a limited series and won trophies for his performance at...

Earlier this year, we wrote about how Lionsgate wanted to mount a new version of "American Psycho," and now the studio has found its director: Luca Guadagnino, the director behind "Call Me By Your Name," "Challengers," and the 2018 remake of "Suspiria," who seems to be a perfect choice for this new take.
I say "new take" because there's an important distinction to be made here. Per the report in Deadline, Guadagnino is not remaking the 2000 movie written and directed by Mary Harron, which stars Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street finance bro who also happens to be a vicious serial killer. Instead, Guadagnino is re-adapting the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis, which is a lot sicker and more twisted than the film.
There's very little information about this project other than the fact that it's in the works, but Guadagnino, who's currently promoting his latest film "Queer" — which...

Filmmakers and distributors of awards-hopefuls have until Nov. 4 to submit their category preference — drama versus musical or comedy — to the Golden Globes organization, which reserves the right to overturn any classification that it finds egregiously inaccurate.
Some of this year’s cases are inarguable — for instance, Netflix’s Emilia Pérez, in which characters spontaneously burst into song, is clearly a musical (if not a comedy), and A24’s The Brutalist, in which an immigrant faces all sorts of harrowing hurdles, is clearly a drama. There are, however, also plenty of close-calls, about which many have made assumptions, but, in most cases, not confirmed.
The Hollywood Reporter has been working the phones and can now report which way almost every contender is breaking. This intel is, of course, subject to change prior to Nov. 4, and to being overturned by the Globes thereafter — but it is current as of this writing.

After leading dark comedy “A Different Man” and Donald Trump biopic “The Apprentice,” Sebastian Stan is slated for iconic filmmaker Elaine May’s fifth and final feature, “Crackpot.” However, production is still waiting on a shadow director for the 92-year-old May.
Stan said during “The Big Picture” podcast that he is on board the project, which was first announced in 2019. Dakota Johnson is set to co-lead alongside Stan, but Stan said he still doesn’t know the status of the film — and he’s casting his net in hopes of helping May find a shadow director to insure the movie. It’s a common set practice with older filmmakers.
“I have this thing, I don’t know if it’ll ever get going,” Stan said. “I have this thing that Elaine May was going to direct. It was going to be her last film and her first film since ‘Ishtar.

After many years of radio silence on Elaine May’s Crackpot, a comedy starring Dakota Johnson that was planned to be the 92-year-old filmmaker’s fifth and final directorial feature, we finally got an update earlier this year. During the Madame Web press tour of all things, Johnson confirmed it’s still in development and they are working on casting. Now we have an update on an additional cast member and the one roadblock that’s preventing the film from getting underway.
Sebastian Stan, who now has A Different Man and The Apprentice in theaters, revealed on The Big Picture podcast that he’s attached to the film and what precisely is holding up production. “I have this thing, I don’t know if it’ll ever get going. I have this thing that Elaine May was going to direct. It was going to be her last film and her first film since Ishtar.

The 35-year-old Madame Web actress made her way into her hotel after running a few errands on Monday afternoon (October 14) in New York City.
For her outing, Dakota bundled up in a brown fur coat paired with light-washed jeans, black boots, sunglasses, and a black New York Mets hat.
A few weeks ago, Dakota joined Jessica Chastain, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Nicola Coughlan, and tons of other stars were in Milan for the Gucci Fashion Show.
In a recent interview, Dakota revealed how mom Melanie Griffith totally embarrassed her when the Fifty Shades actress first met former President Barack Obama!
If you missed it, Dakota‘s rep clarified rumors that she and fiancé Chris Martin had split up.

The Sony Spider-Man Universe has sought to spread its reach far and wide, bringing under its web a host of characters, be it Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web, or Tom Hardy’s Venom. But they are still looking for the one man to tie it all together – their own version of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
That hasn’t stopped them from putting their best foot forward. A testament to this is Tom Hardy’s Venom franchise. The soon-to-be capped-off trilogy has given fans many moments to write home about, be it the camaraderie between Eddie Brock and the symbiote, or the ‘carnage’ that the sequel caused.

Joker 2 has officially sapped the fandom of the 2019 movie. Its highly successful predecessor, which had quite the run at the Oscars, meant that director Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix were already sold on the prospect of making the sequel.
Little did they know that their efforts would be so off the mark. The movie has failed to hit its stride. With its dismal ratings and a performance to forget, the Box Office ratings have probably scarred everyone associated with the franchise for life.

Ruben Ostlund’s next movie is titled “The Entertainment System Is Down.” It’ll concern itself with a long-haul flight where the passengers suddenly lose access to the TV and film options they could otherwise watch. Chaos, and madness, ensues.
Australian airline Qantas offered a little preview of that descent into the aeronautical abyss. According to a riveting Reddit thread (and confirmed by USA Today), a nine-and-a-half hour Qantas flight from Sydney to Tokyo in early October had a problem with its entertainment system whereby every single seatback screen had to show the same movie. Based on requests made by several passengers, the movie selected for the entire flight to watch in unison was “Daddio,” Christy Hall’s R-rated taxicab drama starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn. The film is sexually explicit and features profanity as well as graphic nudity. Exactly what’s usually shown to an entire flight’s passenger manifest,...

One of the all-time best Jane Austen books may be getting a new version on Netflix! Over 200 years after her death, the author is as beloved as ever. Generations have grown up on her novels, which were ahead of their time, exploring issues of feminism, class, and some wonderful romances. In just six books, Austen made herself a literary icon who’s influenced countless writers since.
Not surprisingly, adaptations of Austen’s works have been plentiful. There have even been adaptations of her two posthumous novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion and her unfinished book Sanditon.
Trying to narrow down the best Austen works is difficult as many will cite Sense and Sensibility, which was adapted into a 1995 film directed by Ang Lee and starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, with Thompson also writing the script, earning her an Oscar. Yet, to many, the topper of Austen’s works is Pride and Prejudice.

Yet, to many, the topper of Austen’s works is Pride and Prejudice.

“More effort than it’s worth” possibly represents the harshest 5 words that can be strung together in the English language. For a film, that statement guarantees an immediate death sentence. In the case of Antonio Banderas’ The 13th Warrior, it spelled the extinction of an entire genre: the Muslim hero archetype.

In the film’s critical and commercial failure, Antonia Banderas finds a sense of comfort and familiarity with his daughter Dakota Johnson whose 2024 film, Madame Web went through somewhat of a similar treatment. Both films represent a central character destined for a greater purpose who is uprooted from their established life and thrown into a mission against a foreign enemy.
The similarity between the two films is more than skin-deep. Both films also burned millions of dollars...

A series based on Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” is in development at Netflix, with “Everything I Know About Love” author Dolly Alderton penning the scripts.
There is no cast attached yet and the project has not been greenlit at the streamer. Netflix has a history with Austen, having adapted “Persuasion” for a 2022 movie starring Dakota Johnson.
Austen’s most famous novel, “Pride and Prejudice” follows the intelligent yet stubborn Elizabeth Bennet as she learns that love is more powerful than pride or prejudice through her relationship with Mr. Darcy, a man she initially dislikes but eventually falls for. The book, originally published in 1813, has been adapted several times for screen, perhaps most famously in the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen (pictured above) and the BBC’s 1995 miniseries with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

Hollywood drama tends to get a little spicy at times, and when things go south, it often shows how hard it is to go about writing, filming, directing, and acting in a movie. This is what the Fifty Shades of Grey controversies conveyed to movie lovers all over the world.

Issues stemmed from the initial release itself, with the controversies revolving around the book’s writer and Sam Taylor-Johnson, who directed the first film and dipped right after. Fans also had issues with how things were portrayed on screen, and the casting, and then there was also a rumored feud between both lead actors, which they debunked.

Joker: Folie à Deux Surprisingly Saves Madame Web From Utter Humiliation - Main Image
Joker: Folie à Deux takes a different turn once the reality sinks in that the sequel we waited years for not only bombed at the box office, but even received a lower cinematic score compared to Sony's equally divisive Madame Web.
Madame Web Surprisingly Rises From Comic Book Film Failure as Joker 2 Takes Its Place
Joker: Folie à Deux served as a direct sequel to Arthur Fleck's 2019 DC flick. Apart from exploring how his mental illness plays out in Arkham Asylum, the "music in him" also stirs with a newfound match, Lady Gaga's "Lee" Quinn.
However, plenty of firsthand reactions from DC fans remain confused and frustrated with the movie's ending. Frankly, the story altogether didn't seem to resemble anything that of the traditional Dcu flick.

Passengers on a flight from Sydney to Tokyo were subjected to an unexpected screening of Daddio, which contains “sexual material and brief graphic nudity.” Qantas has apologised for the incident.
On an otherwise routine flight from Sydney to Tokyo, a technical problem with the plane meant that passengers couldn’t choose their own entertainment from the screens in front of them. Rather than make their customers sit through the journey in silence, the Qantas Airlines plane’s crew decided to put on a film that everyone could watch at the same time.
Unfortunately, the film they chose was the sexually explicit, R-rated indie drama, Daddio.
The film was later described on social media by one passenger as “40 minutes of penis and boobs.”
Another expressed their sympathy for the “poor kids and their parents” who were subjected to the movie; “you should’ve heard the audible gasps across the plane,” they added.

Months after its release, Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn‘s Daddio recently had a captive audience.
Qantas Airways apologized to passengers on a recent flight from Sydney to Japan after playing the R-rated Christy Hall drama, which one traveler described as “40 minutes of penis and boobs.”
“The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologise to customers for this experience,” a Qantas spokesperson told The Guardian. “All screens were changed to a family-friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual movie selection isn’t possible. We are reviewing how the movie was selected.”
One disgruntled passenger noted on social media that they had no ability to turn off the movie as the screen appeared locked until staff switched to another movie.

When a number of factors in a situation go wrong with enough precision to maximise damage, we tend to call it a perfect storm. Pay attention and you’ll hear it all the time; a few days ago, the lack of social housing in England was blamed on a perfect storm, similarly America is currently bracing itself for a perfect storm of election chaos, and outer space recently enjoyed a perfect storm of solar activity. The term, of course, is based on a 2000 film where George Clooney sailed a boat in a hurricane.
However, I would like to propose a change. From now on, instead of calling something a perfect storm, I recommend calling it a Daddio.

The doc breaks down everything—from Arnie’s bodybuilding days, his Hollywood takeover, and even his stint as the Governator. But the juicy rivalry between him and Stallone steals the show.
Both action stars had a fierce rivalry previously.

Marvel Cinematic Universe and Sony are geared to release another set of big films like Venom: The Last Dance, Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret Wars. While Marvel fans must wait years until Secret Wars drops, they can base theories based on the upcoming Venom 3.

Since the conclusion of Spider-Man’s Homecoming trilogy, fans have been awaiting the return of the iconic superhero, which could happen soon as Spider-Man 4 was recently confirmed with Tom Holland returning in the titular role.
Although the storyline is still under wraps, MCU director Kevin Fiege claimed that Spider-Man will feature more street-level hero characters. However, Sony is rumored to bring another multiverse project.

Some very big stars were in the running to play Anastasia Steele in the big-screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Of course, Dakota Johnson landed the role alongside Jamie Dornan‘s Christian Grey. The movie took her star power to the next level. However, she faced stiff competition in the audition process.
The risque plot, which flirted with Bdsm and featured multiple intimate scenes, made the franchise a risk for Hollywood, but it was one that paid off. Years later, the movies remain some of the highest-grossing projects with R-ratings.
Casting such a big project generated a lot of buzz at the time. Though we have a hard time imagining anyone but Dakota playing Anastasia, she wasn’t the only actress in the running.
We were curious and did some digging.
Our search revealed 10 actress who were attached to the role. Some of them denied the claims while others...

Dakota Johnson recently reflected on working with Justin Timberlake on the 2010 film “The Social Network.” In an interview with Vanity Fair, Johnson opened up about filming an intimate scene with Timberlake when she was just 19 years old.
Johnson had some preconceived ideas about Timberlake since he was already an established pop star. However, she said her experience was positive. “He was very kind and welcoming to me as a newcomer,” Johnson remarked.
The scene in question introduced Timberlake’s character Sean Parker to the concept of Facebook. It required Johnson, playing a Stanford student, to straddle and whip Timberlake with her hair multiple times under director David Fincher’s demanding direction.
Due to Fincher’s exacting approach, Johnson estimated they filmed the scene over 30 times. She said this intensive process left an impression. “I feel like I remember it vividly, even though it was over 10 years ago,” Johnson stated. While the extensive filming was challenging,...

Dakota Johnson had "preconceived notions" about Justin Timberlake before co-starring in 'The Social Network'.The 34-year-old actress and the 43-year-old singer worked together on David Fincher's 2010 movie in which he played Napstar founder Sean Parker and she portrayed college student Amelia Ritter, who had a one-night stand with him after meeting at a bar.When asked if she had any preconceived ideas about Justin before filming, Dakota told Vanity Fair: "Are you kidding? I was just like 19 and straddling Justin Timberlake and like whipping him in the face with my hair. 100 per cent had preconceived notions, but he was lovely and kind and really welcoming for a person that was just a stranger."I think that because this was 'The Social Network’ and David Fincher, we did this so many times that I’m like, I’m in it. I know it, I know all the lines. It’s still there.

“Are you kidding? I was just like 19 and straddling Justin Timberlake and like whipping him in the face with my hair,” the Fifty Shades of Grey star said. “100 percent had preconceived notions, but he was lovely and kind and really welcoming for a person that was just a stranger.”
The Social Network featured a dramatized version of how Mark Zuckerberg founded the social networking site that would become known as Facebook and the legal battles that followed. Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Zuckerberg while Timberlake played Sean Parker, founder of Napster and first Facebook president.

Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey, were recently spotted in Los Angeles following Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest on s*x trafficking charges. The couple made back-to-back public appearances, first enjoying a sushi date in Malibu and later attending a church service. Despite their smiles, fans expressed concern over Justin’s noticeable weight loss, fueling worries about his health.
Bieber’s slimmer appearance, first noticed during the sushi outing, has sparked online discussion, with fans commenting that he looked “rough” and unhealthy. Some speculated that the pressures of new parenthood or resurfacing of troubling past videos involving Diddy may be affecting the pop star. In one such video, Bieber, who was introduced to Diddy at a young age, is seen partying with the music mogul, while another shows an awkward interaction between the two, with Bieber seemingly trying to distance himself.

Death has been on Elizabeth Olsen’s mind lately. It started — or, rather, became much more acute — on a recent helicopter ride. The actress was on an East Coast press tour for her new movie, His Three Daughters, and Netflix scheduled a junket day in New York City, followed by a screening out in the Hamptons. The tight turnaround meant that Olsen, her co-star Natasha Lyonne and a studio rep had only one way to get there in time.
“I’ll never do it again,” she says. “It was 45 minutes straight of me creating a narrative about how I’m going to die.” As she’s telling this story, she divulges that, actually, she thinks about her own death all the time. The notion of the chopper hurtling over greater Long Island takes its place in line behind car accidents and random acts of violence.
