Deadline reports that Sweet Tooth showrunner Jim Mickle has been tapped to write and direct the live-action adaptation of Gundam, which is being co-developed by Legendary and Bandai Namco Filmworks.
Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise, Gundam has been described as a space opera depicting a battle waged between massive mechs and armies of space colonies fighting for independence from Earth. The Gundam franchise has grown into a juggernaut over the decades, with dozens of TV shows, video games, manga, and much more.
Now, you may recall that this isn’t the first time Hollywood has attempted to get a live-action Gundam movie off the ground. It was announced in 2021 that Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) was working on a Gundam movie for Netflix and he seemed quite pumped about the project. Some concept art was even released showcasing one of the giant mechs, but Deadline’s report states that...

James Cameron’s career took a turn in the ‘80s when the director released back-to-back hit sci-fi classics: The Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986). The critical and commercial success of these films made the director famous on a level that could rival even the A-list stars who headlined his projects.

Shortly after, Cameron transitioned to a tragic romance with Titanic in 1997 which remains one of the highest-grossing movies to date. However, it is Cameron’s first great hit, The Terminator, that also remains the biggest regret of his career – not in terms of its quality or success but because of the missed opportunity that resulted from it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a noted Republican, has endorsed Democrats Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for president and vice president.
In a social media message posted Wednesday on X, Schwarzenegger admitted that although he unabashedly shares his political views, he doesn’t tend to endorse candidates. While the Terminator star detailed his time as California governor, highlighting his efforts to bring clean air, create more jobs, balance the state budget, and raise infrastructure investments, he also said “I hate politics more than ever.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger is throwing his support behind Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in next week’s presidential election.
The famously Republican former governor of California took to X on Wednesday morning to share a lengthy post about who he’s supporting in the high-stakes election.
Schwarzenegger began by explaining that he “hates” politics and doesn’t typically make the decision to endorse anyone in elections. He noted that he doesn’t really like either party right now and that while he’d like to tune out, he can’t right now.
“Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets,” he said of Donald Trump’s refusal to admit that he lost the 2020 election. “To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America [a] trash can for the world is so unpatriotic,...

Our beloved DC hero Batman has had several iterations in live-action since it first debuted decades ago. While most left an indelible impression on the world of superheroes, others went so incredibly wrong that they have now left a mark on the mythos so dark that it is hard to ignore them. And so, whether fans would want it or not, many can’t help but think about what a disaster Batman & Robin was.

Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games (Photo Credit – Instagram)
All hail Katniss Everdeen! In The Hunger Games trilogy, she didn’t just enter the arena; she set it ablaze. If you were a parent of a pre-teen girl back then, you probably did a victory dance. “Finally, a role model who doesn’t need a prince to save her!” This wasn’t just another teen flick but a manifesto of strength wrapped in a bow and arrow.
Jennifer Lawrence brought Katniss to life. She was no damsel. While others crafted outfits, she crafted rebellion, transforming survival skills into a revolution. Now that’s a true game-changer!
Her journey wasn’t just about dodging arrows—it was a masterclass in modern feminism. Move over, Bella Swan; Katniss was here to show you can be fierce and flawed. She wasn’t about to sit around and mope over boys. No, she had a revolution to lead!

Arnold Schwarzenegger Was Paid $21,428 For Each Word (Photo Credit – Facebook)
Picture this: Arnold Schwarzenegger, the muscle-bound action legend, once struggled in Hollywood. When he starred in The Terminator, he snagged just $75k for 17 lines! That’s a staggering $4,400 per word! While he flexed his chops in Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator launched him into superstardom.
As a cyborg assassin hunting Sarah Connor, Arnold set the stage for his epic blockbuster career. From humble beginnings to Hollywood royalty, he proved that even a few words can lead to a monumental legacy!
The T-800: A Few Words, a Mountain of Cash
Fast forward to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Arnold struck gold. With a salary of $15M for speaking around 700 words, he earned $21,428 per word! Now, that’s what I call a payday! This sequel’s budget was around $100M, making Arnold’s paycheck about 1% of the total cost. Can you imagine?...

An action movie starring the woman who took down the Predator in Prey and the man mountain lead of Prime Video's Reacher, written by the dude responsible for John Wick, and directed by the stunt co-ordinator for the likes of Logan and Avatar: The Way Of Water may sound like some kind of nutty genre fever dream, but it's actually very real — and it could be the next big action franchise. Per Deadline's reporting, Yautja ass kicker Amber Midthunder and actual Jack Reacher Alan Ritchson are set to team up on Painter, an all-new action movie poured from the pen of Derek Kolstad and helmed by genre veteran Garrett Warren.
Due to set sales at the American Film Market next week, Painter — per the description provided to Deadline — is set to centre around an expertly trained young woman (Midthunder) who's forced to put her skills to use when her father (presumably Ritchson) is kidnapped.

Just a few days ago, we heard that Reacher star Alan Ritchson is teaming up with Need for Speed and Expendables 4 director Scott Waugh for an action thriller called Runner, and now Deadline reports that Ritchson has also signed on to star in an action film called Painter, which will team him with Prey star Amber Midthunder and John Wick writer Derek Kolstad. The project is set up at FilmNation Entertainment‘s production label Infrared, and FilmNation will be launching distribution sales at the upcoming American Film Market in Las Vegas.
Former stuntman Garrett Warren, who served as stunt coordinator on the likes of Logan, Avatar, Alita: Battle Angel, and Road House, will be directing the film. Although Warren is also attached to direct a true crime drama called One Man’s War, it looks like Painter will turn out to be his feature directorial debut.

In the early 1980s, writer S.S. Wilson was climbing over large boulders in the Mojave Desert when the thought occurred to him, “What if something was under the ground and I couldn’t get off this rock?” That thought would eventually grow into the story for one of the greatest creature features ever made, Tremors (watch it Here), which was directed by Ron Underwood from a screenplay Wilson wrote with Brent Maddock. That movie, released by Universal in 1990, introduced viewers to the subterranean monsters known as Graboids and spawned a franchise that has – so far – consisted of six direct-to-video sequels and a TV series that ran for thirteen episodes back in 2003. Wilson, Maddock, and their production company Stampede Entertainment were behind the first four movies and the TV show, and they had written a script for Tremors 5… but Universal kept the script on a shelf for several years, and when...

Here’s how James Cameron saved the Titanic movie from Cost overruns ( Photo Credit – Prime Video )
Picture this: It’s the mid-’90s, and James Cameron’s Titanic is on the brink of disaster. Yeah, the real iceberg for this ship was a ballooning budget and some horrible press. What’s now the classic king of blockbusters was once Hollywood’s favorite punching bag, predicted to sink faster than the ill-fated ship itself. With a $200 million price tag—a whopping $1 million for every minute of the final cut—it looked like Cameron’s grand vision was about to take down everyone.
Fast-forward twenty years, and Cameron spills the tea on what went down behind the scenes in Leading Lady: Sherry Lansing and the Making of A Hollywood Groundbreaker by Stephen Galloway. Making movie magic was more “Mayday!” than a movie set.

How did Arnold Schwarzenegger replace O.J. Simpson in The Terminator? ( Photo Credit – Flickr )
Imagine if O.J. Simpson, not Arnold Schwarzenegger, was the cyborg in The Terminator! A twist of fate turned the NFL star into a “what if?” in Hollywood history. Let’s dive into the drama that led to Arnie’s rise as the definitive Terminator—and how a twist of fate turned a casting curveball into one of cinema’s most legendary roles.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: From Reese to the Terminator
Initially, Schwarzenegger wasn’t even eyeing the Terminator role; he was up for Kyle Reese, the human resistance fighter. “I wanted to play Reese,” Schwarzenegger said, recounting how he and Cameron butted heads over the casting. Meanwhile, O.J. Simpson was reportedly in talks to step into the Terminator’s leather boots, already cast by the studio (though no contract was signed).
Cameron had other ideas. During his discussions with Schwarzenegger,...

The Terminator franchise is one of the greatest and most important sci-fi franchises of all time. Envisioned by legendary director James Cameron after a fever dream that involved a metallic entity with kitchen knives. It became a cult classic movie and later a whole franchise that is still active even today.
The first movie was released back in 1984 and has since gained a cult following. No true sci-fi fan will tell you that The Terminator is bad, or, to be more precise, that it is not, in fact, one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. And from a cinematic aspect, we can agree.
And while the role of the Terminator, or the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101, or simply T-800, was immortalized by Arnold Schwarzenegger in one of his best roles, did you know that someone else was initially considered for the role before James Cameron turned down that idea? Keep...

(Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.)
James Cameron is the unquestioned king of the box office. "Avatar" is, by a considerable margin, the highest-grossing movie of all time and, before all's said and done, it could be the only movie in history to touch $3 billion worldwide. Cameron also owns two of the other spots in the top four globally with "Avatar: The Way of Water" and "Titanic." He's been doing it on the biggest scale for a long, long time. But it certainly didn't start out that way. Early on, the blockbuster maestro was simply looking for a way to meaningfully break into Hollywood.

For many of the great speculative science fiction classics, the future has not come to pass. The island of Manhattan was not converted into a maximum security prison by 1997.

The flying cars and bioengineered replicants of the dystopian Los Angeles of Blade Runner were not in place by 2019, and the hoverboards of 2024 do not actually hover, unlike the wheel-free skateboards of 2015 in Back to the Future Part II.

Writer/director Parker Finn found success in “Smile 2” not by slavishly replicating the thrills of the original, but by taking what made the 2022 original special and amplifying and enhancing virtually everything about it — it’s a bigger, scarier, more gripping sequel that is currently the No. 1 film at the U.S. box office.
Rather than a small town, the action has moved to New York City. And instead of clinical professionals investigating the phenomenon of a demonic “curse” that passes from one person to the next (and results in that uber-creepy smile), it’s a global pop star named Skye Riley (played by “Aladdin” breakout Naomi Scott) who has become infected with the demonic force.
Horror sequels are having a moment. Warner Bros.’ “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has grossed $435 million worldwide since hitting theaters last month and is still in the box office Top 10, and the indie “Terrifier 3” has amassed...

James Cameron Sold the Rights for Just $1 to Direct It (Photo Credit – Koimoi)
Long before Titanic had us reaching for tissues and Avatar changed the game, James Cameron wasn’t what he is now. In the early ’80s, he was a scrappy Canadian filmmaker with a bonkers idea about time-traveling killer robots. Spoiler alert: that idea turned into The Terminator. But the real kicker? Cameron had to sell the rights for just one dollar to make it happen. One. Buck.
James Cameron: A Dollar for a Dream
So why would anyone sell the rights to a movie for the price of a gas station coffee? Because Cameron bet on himself. He wanted to direct so severely that he made a deal with producer Gale Anne Hurd: the rights to The Terminator in exchange for his shot behind the camera. At the time, his directing resume was… questionable. The only...

It can be difficult to market a film. A trailer can be the best way to garner interest, although this can be undone when the promotional material offers spoilers to lure in potential viewers (as evidenced with many Terminator sequels.) It is a credit to Neon for operating a “less is more” approach for Longlegs, relying on an unsettling atmosphere conveyed in their cryptic videos as an effective primer for the feature.
Set during the ‘90s, FBI Agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is a new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Nicolas Cage). Uncovering a series of occult clues, she is intent on stopping him before he claims more lives.

In The Stoic, after a group of mercenaries raid a gang's den, they flee to a country hideout with two hostages. A Stoic, a member of a criminal clan, enraged about the women's capture, attacks the mercenaries.
The conflict escalates into an explosive showdown between the Stoic and the mercenaries' ruthless boss determined to kill him.
British actor Scott Wright takes on his first major action role as Aurelius, the Stoic who targets this gang of crooks with violent, bloody consequences. Last week, we spoke with Scott about this intense new role and what it was about exploring stoicism that most intrigued him as an actor.
He also talks us through how he approached The Stoic's intense action scenes, the biggest challenges of making this movie a reality, and his excitement to bring it to a global audience. Scott also opens up on working with X-Men: First Class star Jason Flemyng...

The much-anticipated horror-thriller Erbsünde: Veil of Sin is gearing up for its release, and the newly unveiled trailer promises a terrifying fusion of historical fiction and slasher horror. Directed by Ahmed Chaer, the film is set to bring a chilling new villain to the genre—a Nazi supersoldier from World War II, long forgotten and cryogenically preserved, who embarks on a deadly rampage when accidentally awakened.
Erbsünde follows a group of journalism students who, in search of a story in the remote woods, stumble upon an abandoned Nazi bunker. What they don’t know is that inside lies a terrifying relic from the past—a genetically engineered supersoldier, designed by the Nazis in the final days of the war to be an unstoppable war machine. When the students accidentally revive the soldier, their weekend in the woods quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival as the soldier resumes his mission of destruction.

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles Creator Josh Friedman On James Cameron, Cancer, And Cancellation
Sarah Connor was dead. Or was she? Well, yes, according to 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines – but death can’t compete with TV. It was 2006 when Josh Friedman, who had co-written Steven Spielberg’s War Of The Worlds, was approached by Warner Bros. Television to write what would become The Sarah Connor Chronicles. A series picking up from where James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day left off, it followed Sarah (Lena Headey) and her prodigious son John (Thomas Dekker) as they, along with Cameron (Summer Glau), a protector Terminator, continued to battle Skynet and evade murderous cyborg stalkers. Launching in January 2008, it enjoyed two seasons until it was, in April 2009, abruptly… well, terminated.
Fifteen years on, we speak to Friedman about legacy, cancer, and Shirley Manson disguised as a urinal.
When you were hired to write this show, Terminator 3 had come and gone. Is it fair...

Fans of actor Bill Paxton — and we are legion — likely know that he made his directorial debut in 1980, helming the music video for Barnes & Barnes' immortal classic "Fish Heads." The video, made on a very, very low budget, featured Paxton as a buyer and enthusiast of the titular ichthyoid crania, shown throwing them a birthday party and generally enjoying their company. The video also featured a cameo from Dr. Demento, the famed Los Angeles DJ responsible for proliferating hundreds of well-known novelty hits, and for bringing "Weird Al" Yankovic to the world's attention. Paxton was a weird, wonderful man who ran on the fringes. The fact that he became a well-known mainstream star is kind of wild.
Paxton, of course, began appearing in feature films in the late 1970s and early 1980s, starring in notable genre films like "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker" and "Mortuary." Many likely first noticed him in...

Finally, Rick and Morty will take on the genre that’s been begging for a masterful, Dan Harmon-style parody – true crime podcasts.
Of course, the exploitative murder porn podcasting sphere is such an easy target that Rick and Morty needs fewer than fifteen seconds to tear it apart, so, in the Rick and Morty Season 8 sneak peek that Harmon and his team debuted at New York Comic Con earlier today, the series tackles a popular and significant subgenre within the science fiction canon that was long overdue for a part-parody-part-pastiche in the Rick and Morty fashion. After spending the last seven seasons dissecting and satirizing so many tropes, literary devices, genres and franchises ranging from Terminator to Die Hard to the entire idea of a heist movie, Rick and Morty Season 8 will return to its roots as it lands on a classic sci-fi set up after wandering aimlessly towards...

Matt Damon famously lost out on a lot of money after turning down James Cameron’s Avatar. But Cameron noted that there were plenty of other Avatar movies for the Bourne Identity star to do. However, it wouldn’t be for the same lucrative deal that Damon would’ve had for the first film.

Although Damon currently has a net worth of $170 million, it could’ve been a bit higher if he starred in Cameron’s Avatar.

According to Damon, The Terminator director even called him up personally to offer him the role.

Arnold Schwarzenegger accomplished a lot in his life. After being born in an obscure little village in Austria in 1947 and growing up with a temperamental father who used to serve in the Nazi Party during WWII, he climbed the social ladder by winning bodybuilding competitions across Europe, immigrated to the US in 1968, married into the high-profile Kennedy family in 1986, became the Governor of California in 2003, and remains the most famous actor today with a high celebrity net worth of $1 Billion.

If, like me, you’re in need of a good chuckle, you might enjoy this little clip of James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger that has been making the rounds on social media.

The moment in question starts at 17:06 in the video below.

This conversation took place three years ago as part of Arnold’s Stammtisch, Schwarzenegger’s climate initiative series in which he spoke with various environmental advocates.

Actor Claire Danes was once cast in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator 3 back in 2003. However, in order to obtain the role, she had to replace another actor who already secured the part.

Terminator 3 director Jonathan Mostow initially had Danes in mind to play the character Kate Brewster in the movie. But in a resurfaced interview with IGN, Mostow confided that Danes couldn’t commit to the project. This led to Mostow hosting auditions to find another actor capable of leading the film. At the time, he was pleasantly surprised by what One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush brought to the table.

Call me a party pooper, but Slow Horses Season 4 Episode 6 felt a bit anticlimactic compared to the action-packed Slow Horses Season 4 Episode 5.
Don’t get me wrong — this wasn’t a bad episode, far from it. It delivered plenty of intensity and surprises. I think I just expected more, especially since the agent we lost wasn’t the one I had in mind.
And knowing we’ll have to wait until next year to see how everything plays out? That’s almost unbearable. So, I cheated a little.
(Apple TV+)
I mentioned before that I hadn’t read the Mick Herron books on which the series is based.
Well, curiosity got the better of me, and I looked into the next book, London Rules, which I’m guessing will be the foundation for Slow Horses Season 5. And let me tell you, I’m pumped. I might even dive into it this summer.

Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine anyone other than Michael Keaton playing Batman in the original Tim Burton movie, but at the time, Keaton was considered a risky choice. Burton naturally looked at other actors to star in Batman, and that included Terminator star Michael Biehn, who said that he came close to snagging the role.
“I went in and met Tim Burton over at Warner Bros, and back in those days, they were just meetings, they weren’t auditions. I would just go in and meet,” Biehn said in a recent episode of the Just Foolin’ About with Michael Biehn podcast. “But I was very good at telling people how good I was going to be at this role, how I was going to play it, I was going to do this, I was going to do that, sometimes some of the dialogue would slip in, I’ve done that many many times.

Intro: Comedies involving a central pair of main characters usually have one thing in common; their premise is generally very simple. Take 1994’s Dumb and Dumber, for example. The Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels all-time classic comedy, in which two hapless, hopeless losers attempt to return a suitcase full of cash to its rightful owner, thrives on how simple both the plot and the two main characters are. The Farrellys had an amazing knack in the 1990s for delivering comedies that were hilarious because they had a simple idea for the plot, plus they weren’t worried about upsetting anybody with outrageous sequences. Those were the days. You couldn’t produce mainstream comedies such as Me, Myself and Irene, Kingpin or There’s Something About Mary nowadays, for fear of upsetting someone.

James Cameron Joins Stability AI Board of Directors James Cameron joins Stability AI
As stated by Stability AI: “The Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron has joined the Stability AI Board of Directors. It was only a year ago when AI was thought to be a dirty word during the double strikes that shut down the business when Cameron cited his 1984 sci-fi classic The Terminator — about artificial intelligence that becomes sentient and wreaks havoc on mankind — and said, ‘I warned you guys in 1984, and you didn’t listen’. Aside from his groundbreaking filmmaking prowess, 3-D, and VFX pioneering, Cameron is also a technology innovator, so it...

Oh, how James Cameron‘s Terminator franchise has fallen! At one point, Terminator 2: Judgment Day was considered one of the best films of all time, breaking box office records and garnering accolades aplenty. In 2019, the latest instalment in the series, Terminator: Dark Fate, lost the studios involved an estimated $130 million. It’s looking likely […]

Changes to the way Google returns its search results are seeing websites downsizing and shutting, and writers losing their jobs. A few thoughts.
Imagine being the person who looked at the schematics for Skynet, and thought: that might not be a good idea. That perhaps someone should have a word.
Sure, it would have ended The Terminator saga before it started, but still: in the world of the films, the people who stand up to the robots do tend to be on the side of good.
James Cameron, the creator of The Terminator, has switched sides in the last few weeks. He’s gone from fashioning a story about how artificial intelligence is going to cause the destruction of humanity to swigging back the Kool-aid. You can read more on that here.
That’s not really what this piece is about. It’s not the tools, per se, it’s...

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has unveiled two new exhibitions exploring how science has impacted technology, aesthetics and storytelling in cinema Oct. 6.
“Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema,” investigates the role of color in film while “Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema” will examine the global impact of the science fiction subgenre cyberpunk on cinema culture.
Senior Exhibitions Curator Jessica Niebel curated “Color in Motion” with the help of assistant curator Sophia Serrano, curatorial assistant Manouchka Kelly Labouba and research assistant Alexandra James Salichs.
Niebel explained knowledge about the history of color in film is lacking and propelled her team to craft an exhibit that would engage and educate audiences about the area. She highlighted the power of film colors as a storytelling device to create meaning and tone throughout a narrative.
“With every new color technology, there were new ways of cinematic expression,” Niebel said. “When cinema was invented,...

In the real world, Phil Hartman could never have nearly cuckolded Arnold Schwarzenegger — the late, great star was too good of a guy to ever embarrass that beta.
When comparing Chris Columbus’ filmography of family-focused Christmas comedies, the critically panned but mildly commercially successful 1996 movie Jingle All the Way doesn’t quite command the nostalgic adoration of, say, a Home Alone or a Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. But while Columbus only served as the producer and rewrote the script of Jingle All the Way, the film about competing fathers, Arnold Schwarzenegger and stand-up legend Sinbad, desperately (and violently) trying to secure the hottest toy on the market in time to appease their young sons before Christmas certainly has Columbus’ comedy DNA embedded within it.
Case in point: Columbus’ decision to cast Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons star Hartman to play the nosy, divorced and charismatic neighbor...
