From a trailer for Season 3 of The Mandalorian to the line-up for Marvel's Thunderbolts film to a new trailer for Marvel's Secret Invasion, here are all the biggest announcements and trailers from D23's Marvel, Star Wars, and 20th Century studio showcase.
20th Century Studios has released the first trailer for their upcoming supernatural horror movie The Empty Man, which will open in theaters [checks calendar] in seven days. The film follows the disappearance of a group of teens, which is being investigated by a retired cop (James Badge Dale). The weirdest thing about this is that in normal times, this would be a perfectly sensible, low-budget horror movie play during spooky season. It may not blow up the box office, but it would do respectable business given its low budget. But for some reason, Disney thought it looked so bad …
It’s been 18 months since Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of 20th Century Fox and half-a-year since they dropped “Fox” from 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight brands (leading to labels 20th Century and Searchlight), so it’s not a huge surprise that Disney would also want to rebrand and streamline the business units under its Disney Television Studios umbrella, including the unexpected reappearance of a Disney legacy brand. The meat-and-potatoes of it is that ABC Studios and its subsidiary ABC Signature (which provides programs for cable and streaming) will combine to form ABC …
Fox Searchlight has released the first trailer for Wes Anderson's new film, The French Dispatch. It's been two years since Anderson has released a feature film (that'd be 2018's Isle of Dogs) and six years since he's released a live-action feature (the unforgettable 2014 Oscar-winner The Grand Budapest Hotel). Now, Anderson has rounded up some of his favorite day players and some new but similarly famous faces for The French Dispatch. Transporting viewers to the tiny, fictional French town of Ennui-sur-Blasé (heh), The French Dispatch "brings to life a collection of …
Disney unveils its official 20th Century Studios logo (without Fox) as part of the marketing for this month's new release, The Call of the Wild.
The Walt Disney Company isn't holding back now that it has ownership of 20th Century Fox, ahem, 20th Century Studios. The House of Mouse continues to shape the studio in both its own image and the image it deems necessary to make its holding ostensibly more valuable as it sells off its recent acquisition's gaming division, FoxNext, the name behind popular mobile game Marvel Strike Force. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has finalized the sale of FoxNext video game development studio to Culver City-based mobile gaming developer Scopely. FoxNext's studio currently includes Aftershock LA Studios …
In a further move to assert its brand dominance at all costs, Disney has removed "Fox" from its Fox-related movie studios. 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight Studios will now be rebranded as "20th Century Studios" and "Searchlight Pictures." Per Variety, the logos "won’t be dramatically altered, just updated. The most notable change is that the word “Fox” has been removed from the logo marks. Otherwise, the signature elements — swirling klieg lights, monolith, triumphal fanfare — will remain the same." There's no word yet on what will happen to the Fox name on the television side. Perhaps this …
The Walt Disney Company has dropped the Fox from its 20th Century and Searchlight logos after its acquisition last March for $71.3 billion.
Disney CCO and co-chairman Alan Horn says he's disappointed by the recent Fox box office bombs, like Dark Phoenix, Stuber, and more.
Disney is pulling several old 20th Century Fox films (including popular classics like Alien, The Princess Bride, and Fight Club) from availability in a move eerily similar to how the company has famously treated its own films for decades. After months of speculation over whether or not Fox films would suddenly become scarce, a new Vulture piece confirms that Disney has begun restricting the films quietly and with little explanation, which could potentially be devastating for independent theaters increasingly relying on screenings of older films to stay open. As recently as last year, Fox’s back catalogue of older films …
20th Century Fox has revealed a new trailer for the upcoming X-Men movie Dark Phoenix. The film hails from writer/producer Simon Kinberg, who also makes his directorial debut on the 90s-set X-Men: Apocalypse follow-up. The sequel adapts the famous Dark Phoenix comics arc, with Sophie Turner filling the role of Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix while Jessica Chastain plays a mysterious (and perhaps otherworldly) character. Right off, this trailer really wants us to think Jean kills Mystique between the "why did you make me do that, she was my friend" and the classic rain-drenched funeral … The post New ‘Dark Phoenix’ Trailer Reveals 20th Century Fox’s Latest ‘X-Men’ Movie appeared first on Collider.
