📰 Disney 📺 is set to become the absolute king of Hulu 📺.
With Bob Iger (CEO of Disney) at the helm, they are going to take full control after buying the 33% stake held by Comcast. The starting price? No less than $8.61 billion, but this is just the beginning because they might pay even more after an independent valuation.
Apparently, Disney is arming itself to the teeth to dominate the streaming game, betting that Hulu is worth its weight in gold, literally. And with plans to focus more on their star brands like Pixar and Marvel, this could just be the start of a new era. Analysts have been playing guessing games about whether Disney would buy or sell, but it seems we've cleared up the doubt: they're going to buy, and buy big. Let's get ready to see Hulu dress up in Disney's gala attire, and let's hope that means even more quality content for us.

😔 Matthew Perry, our forever 'Chandler Bing' from the famed series 'Friends', has passed away at the age of 54. It seems that after a game of pickleball, he was found lifeless in his home, in the jacuzzi.
Besides 'Friends', Perry left his mark on shows like 'The West Wing', 'Scrubs', and movies such as 'Fools Rush In' and 'The Whole Nine Yards'. But behind that on-screen smile, he battled personal demons, including his fight against addictions, which he openly discussed in his recent autobiography.
Though we haven't seen him on screen for some time, his legacy will live on. Rest in peace, Matthew. 🎬🌟 I've left a compilation video with his best jokes from Friends for you all ❤️.
🎬 I've got a wild twist from the movie world for you. Remember 'Lisa Frank' with those vibrant designs of dolphins, unicorns, and more? Now, picture that color palette mashed up with Mary Shelley's mysterious 'Frankenstein' tale.
'Lisa Frankenstein', directed by Zelda Williams and penned by the amazing Diablo Cody (yes, the genius behind 'Juno'!), dives into the life of Lisa, portrayed by Kathryn Newton. Our lead isn't your typical teenager: instead of crushing on living guys, she's got a soft spot for a corpse, played by Cole Sprouse. And yes, she goes the extra mile and resurrects him using... a tanning bed!
The combo sounds bonkers, but promises to be a unique cinematic journey. Romance, monsters, and a hint of comedy? Mark your calendars: 'Lisa Frankenstein' hits theaters on February 9th, 2024. 🍿📅
🎬 Do you remember Sam Esmail, the brain behind 'Mr. Robot'? Well, he's back: 'Leave the World Behind'.
Based on the namesake novel by Rumaan Alam, it plunges us into a story where two families see their fates intertwined amidst a massive blackout. Picture Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke looking for a quiet getaway in Long Island and then, suddenly, bam! Mahershala Ali (from 'Moonlight' and 'Green Book') shows up with his wife claiming the house.
The trailer doesn't reveal what causes the chaos on the East Coast, but it's clear that fear and distrust are the real enemies. Mark November 22nd for its cinema release 🎥 and December 8th on Netflix 📺.
In the renowned Digital Domain studio 🎥, just before 'Titanic' (1997) made waves 🌊 in theaters, something special was unfolding. Picture James Cameron, like a child with a new toy 🧸, leaning over a highly detailed model of the Titanic, playing with lights and shadows 💡. And the magician's real trick: shimmering sheets of Mylar. They weren't just there for show; they were the secret to those magical glints on the famed ship 🚢.
Off to the side, two film geniuses, Russell Carpenter and John Buckley, were exchanging ideas, sketching out how to transform this luminous vision into a cinematic sequence. Carpenter, known for his knack to encapsulate visual essence, and Buckley, the lighting illusionist, were in perfect harmony.
This almost poetic moment was a tangible display of the magic behind the scenes. A reminder that in every great movie, every detail matters, and that 'Titanic' wasn't just a milestone in storytelling, but a showcase of visual and technical prowess. An exclusive glimpse for those film enthusiasts seeking to dive into the curiosities that bring masterpieces to life. #BTS
🎬 Dive into the world of blood and empire with the new trailer for 'Napoleon' - a masterpiece by Ridley Scott (you know, the genius behind 'Gladiator') and the Oscar-winning Joaquin Phoenix (our Joker!).
Unfolding the enthralling rise and fall of the iconic Napoleon Bonaparte, this epic drama portrays his intoxicating relationship with Josefina (Vanessa Kirby). And gossip has it, Ridley's hinting at a juicy 4-hour extended version coming exclusively to Apple TV+ 📺!
Mark those calendars, peeps: 🇺🇸 November 22 and 🇪🇸 November 24. 🍿🎥 Let's rendezvous at the theaters!
🍿 Grab your calendars and circle Dec. 1, because that's when 'Eileen' hits the screens.
A dark, chilling tale directed by William Oldroyd (you know, the genius behind 'Lady Macbeth') with a trailer that leaves us on edge. Anne Hathaway (remember her stellar performance in 'The Dark Knight Rises'?) plays Rebecca, a prison psychologist with secrets that ensnare the young Eileen, brilliantly portrayed by Thomasin McKenzie of 'Jojo Rabbit' fame.
This cold Massachusetts tale promises intrigue, dark twists, and whispers of deadly outcomes.
Hey there, cinephile buddies! 🍿 Exciting scoop for us: 'American Fiction', the latest show-stealer at Toronto's Film Festival, just dropped its trailer.
📺 Presented by Amazon MGM Studios, it's Oscar-buzzworthy, if history's any indicator. Cord Jefferson (fresh face alert!) helms this based on Percival Everett's 'Erasure'. It throws shade at culture's stereotype obsession, with our main man Jeffrey Wright (yeah, Bernard from 'Westworld') in the thick of it. The ensemble's glittered with talents like Tracee Ellis Ross, Sterling K. Brown, and more. Premieres in the US on Dec 15th 🎬.
Fingers crossed we get it on big screens or Prime Video soon. Stay tuned, film aficionados! 🎥🌟
New cinematic venture, 'Iron Lung'. Directorial debut of the well-known Mark Fischbach, more famous in the virtual world as Markiplier. It's not just any debut, as Mark dares with an adaptation of the 2022 video game 'Iron Lung' by David Szymanski, stepping himself into the shoes of the protagonist.
We dive into a blood ocean 🩸 aboard the Iron Lung submarine, accompanying a nervous man on a mission that becomes increasingly dangerous.
This leap of Markiplier into cinema is decisive and reflects his passion for exploring new horizons. We don't know if 'Iron Lung' will be crowned as a masterpiece, but undoubtedly, the anticipation is high and it seems to be the start of an exciting cinematic journey for Mark. 🎬
🕊 Today, I present a list of 7 films, @series, and documentaries about the Israel-Palestine conflict:

2⃣ 'Omar' (2013) by Abu-Assad: Story of a Palestinian and his love, Nadia. It oscillates between thriller and romance. Oscar-nominated.
3⃣ 'Born in Gaza' (2014) by Zin: A documentary focused on Palestinian children. Nominated for the Goya Awards.
4⃣ 'Wadjda' (2012): About the challenges faced by women in the Middle East, centered in Saudi Arabia.

I hope these recommendations help you understand, even if just a little, the complexity of this situation. Remember that cinema, more than entertainment, is a window to reality. ❤️🕊
Roll out the red carpet, film fam 🎥✨, 'cause we're hitting the nitro-boost on a wild ride back to 2015 with 'Mad Max: Fury Road'! Hold tight, cause George Miller, the visionary maestro behind the epic franchise, crafted not just a film but a high-octane, gritty visual symphony that blasted our senses in every frame. 🏜🔥
Oh, buddies, if you think the on-screen chaos is a CGI fiesta, buckle up! 🚗💥 The desert of Namibia transformed into a real-life, dust-churning battlefield, with stunt legends living on the edge (literally) and monstrous machines tearing through the sands, all constructed and customized for real - no trickery, all authenticity.
Remember our fiery guitar hero, 'The Doof Warrior'? 🎸🔥 Not only did his apocalyptic axe genuinely belch fire, but it also strummed the discordant melodies of war across the wasteland, embodying Miller’s genius in melding music and mayhem. His wagon, The Doof Wagon, wasn’t just an insane visual treat but also a tangible, thunderous harbinger of doom, rocking the troops and us, equally! 🥁🚚
In a world gone mad, Miller orchestrated a symphony of visceral visuals and raw, relentless action that was as real as the desert winds, with stunts defying death and machines mauling the barren earth. 🌪🤘 #IconicScenes
🎥 A juicy tidbit sailed into our cinematic harbor, and it's all about our 'Dances with Wolves' maestro, Kevin Costner! Picture this: A 2-part Western epic, helmed and starred by Costner himself, traversing through the wild terrain of America's Western frontier. 🐎 'Horizon: An American Saga' will unfold a 15-year narrative both pre and post-Civil War, with the first chapter gracing our screens on June 28, 2024, and the second dropping anchor on August 16, 2024.
📅 We're promised a voyage through blood, sweat, and perhaps a tear or two, exploring the Old West's allure and the tumultuous path taken to claim—and lose—it. Not to forget, a constellation of stars like Sienna Miller and Sam Worthington will join this cinematic journey, ensuring our summer of 2024 will be one for the books! 🌟 🇺🇸
Hey, film fam 🎥✨John Woo is back to drench our Christmas in red... and it’s not from Rudolph’s nose 🦌🩸! Presenting ‘Silent Night’, our beloved maestro of action, and the brain behind classics like ‘Face/Off’ and ‘Mission: Impossible 2’, brings us a feast of violence wrapped in silence 🤐💥.
The first peek at the trailer reveals a mute Joel Kinnaman (yeah, the gutsy dude from 'Altered Carbon') going on a warpath after a shot to the throat and a personal tragedy 😢🔥. No words, purely action, and a story told through powerful visuals and a musical heartbeat 🎶💔. Woo spills that it’s a fresh venture into storytelling where ‘music replaces language’, promising a deluge of emotional and thrilling showdowns. All under the cozy yet violently tinkling bells of Christmas 🎄!
A dash of ‘John Wick’ essence wafts through (thanks to producer Basil Iwanyk) and we're all in for a vengeful sleigh ride! 🛷🎅🚀 Mark those calendars, cinephiles! Dec. 1 it is 📅🍿. Let’s all dive into a silent night, where actions scream louder than words!
🎬 Jesse Eisenberg and Adrien Brody star in 'Manodrome', the latest from John Trengove.
The movie delves into the intricacies of masculinity, with clear nods to 'Fight Club'. Ralphie, the lead, navigates internal and external storms upon meeting a mysterious group of men who welcome him into their ranks.
Drama, tension, and repercussions that promise to leave no one unaffected 🧨. Also on board are Odessa Young, Evan Jonigkeit, and Ethan Suplee.
It premieres on November 10th and will be available On Demand on the 17th. Speaking of 'Fight Club', Fincher recently stated that the perception of Tyler Durden was always intended as a negative influence. 🍿🎥
Today, we analyze the iconic hallway scene from 'Taxi Driver'. One of the most subtly unsettling moments in Martin Scorsese's filmography.
1⃣ The Scene: Travis Bickle, portrayed by the unforgettable Robert De Niro (from 'The Godfather II' and 'Raging Bull'), is on a phone call with Betsy 🤳, trying to reconcile after a failed date. It's an awkward, deeply painful moment where Travis feels rejected.
2⃣ Camera Movement 🎥: What makes this scene iconic isn't Travis's words, but how Scorsese employs the camera. Instead of focusing on Travis during the call, the camera slowly pans to the empty hallway on the right. It's as if the camera, acting as a character or a firsthand witness, can't bear the discomfort of the moment and chooses to look away.
3⃣ The Intent: By shifting the focus to that empty corridor, Scorsese amplifies the feelings of loneliness and rejection. It adds a layer of anxiety as we hope someone will appear or break the silence, but no one does.
4⃣ Psychological Depth: This unexpected camera movement offers a window into Travis's psyche. His alienation, desperation, and how the surrounding city magnifies his isolation.
5⃣ Influence: 'Taxi Driver' isn't just a movie; it's a film lesson. This particular scene has been dissected in film schools and has influenced generations of filmmakers on how to use the camera to enhance the narrative.
In summary, this scene is a prime example of how Scorsese harnesses cinematic language to immerse us in his characters' inner world. A gem in the crown of the seventh art. 🎥🍿 #IconicScenes
🍿 David Fincher, the genius behind 'Se7en', 'Gone Girl', and 'Zodiac', returns to the big screen with his new thriller, 'The Killer'.
Michael Fassbender stars as a methodical killer who, while lurking in the shadows, feels he's losing his mind. Beside him, Tilda Swinton, known simply as "The Expert". Curious?
In the trailer, we already see confrontations and moral dilemmas with a tone reminiscent of Fincher's classics. Heads up! It premieres on November 10th 📅.
However, not everything is rosy. While it has received glowing reviews at festivals, there are also those who feel the film doesn't meet the high expectations of Fincher's previous works, describing it more as a well-made product but without surprises. In any case, if you're a film enthusiast, this is a must-see! See you at the movies! 🎥🎬
Hey @moviebuffs! 🍿 Bradley Cooper is about to serenade us all over again! This time, not as the heartthrob from 'A Star Is Born', but as legendary composer Leonard Bernstein in 'Maestro'.
Dive deep into the soul-stirring romance of Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre, portrayed by the brilliant Carey Mulligan (yeah, the one from 'Promising Young Woman').
This tale promises passion, melodies, and love spanning decades. 🎼 Oh, and did I mention Sarah Silverman graces the screen too? Save the date! Maestro graces select theaters in November, then rocks Netflix on Dec. 20 📺! 🎬🎶

🎬 For all of you with gasoline in your veins ⛽️. You can't miss the new trailer for 'Ferrari', directed by the film wizard Michael Mann (of 'Collateral' and 'Heat' fame).
Adam Driver, our beloved Kylo Ren, portrays Enzo Ferrari, alongside the always stunning Penélope Cruz and the talented Shailene Woodley. And watch out, it's all set in the thrilling summer of 1957. It's based on Brock Yates' book and carries the passion of over twenty years from Mann.
Release in: February 9, 2024 🗓️.
Now, speaking of effects... Have you seen that crash scene? It reminded me of something out of a Will Ferrell movie. A car going that fast, flying so high... and that background... something doesn't add up, right? I can almost picture the CGI artists scratching their heads at such a request. Seems like a slight misstep in what promises to be a true gem in motor cinema. 🍿
🍿 'Killers of the flower moon', the latest masterpiece by none other than Martin Scorsese, starring legends Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert de Niro, is making waves! The movie, unfolding a tragic plot involving the Osage tribe, takes a deep dive between 1921-1925 post-WWI, highlighting the birth of the FBI. 🕵️
The latest poster is an exquisite piece of art crafted by Addie Roanhorse, an Osage Nation representative! 🎨 Planning your Friday? The film hits theaters on October 20th! 🎬 But before that, join me as Scorsese spills some behind-the-scenes secrets in an exclusive chat on CNN Español this Saturday. 📺
🎬 Stills from the set of 'Poor Things' have been released. The visionary Yorgos Lanthimos immerses us in a gothic fable where Emma Stone shines as Bella Baxter, an enigmatic young woman resurrected by Doctor Godwin Baxter, masterfully played by Willem Dafoe.
The movie, set in the hypocritical Victorian England, is a journey through female liberation and challenges the biases of patriarchal societies. Lanthimos, known for 'The Favourite', graces us with Kubrick and Fellini-style imagery that challenges our senses. Additionally, Mark Ruffalo makes an appearance, adding an intriguing touch to Bella's journey. For lovers of aesthetics and art with a message, this is your film.
Mark your calendars, fellow cinephiles: it premieres on December 🍿.
🎬 In an exclusive interview, the brains behind Rick and Morty, Dan Harmon and Scott Marder, have shared the new voices of our favorite protagonists. After a thorough six-month process and thousands of candidates, the chosen ones have been Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden. 😘
This change was marked by the dark aura that surrounded Justin Roiland, co-creator and original voice of the characters, who found himself embroiled in serious accusations that shook the foundations of his career in Hollywood.
The early reviews already foresee a season that will make history. The madness and genius continue to flow in the veins of this animated masterpiece 🪐.
🎉 Get ready because 'The Strangers: Chapter 1' is set to terrify our theaters in 2024. 🌲👻 If you remember that phenomenal scare from the original 2008 movie, you'll know what we're up against. Oh, yes! Liv Tyler had to deal with it back in the day, and now it's Madelaine Petsch, known for 'Riverdale,' and Froy Gutierrez from 'Cruel Summer's turn to be the new victims of those charming masked sociopaths.
This first installment, directed by none other than Renny Harlin (remember 'Die Hard 2: Die Harder'!), will explore the motives behind this senseless band of killers. We will finally unravel why these people decide to terrorize and torture the innocent. 🎭🔪
'The Iron Claw' is hitting theatres on December 22 📅, and it's packed with wrestles, struggles, and a touch of heartbreaking Von Erich family history. 🥺💔
Directed by the BAFTA-nominee Sean Durkin, known for that edge-of-your-seat 'Martha Marcy May Marlene', and starring Zac Efron (Yep, our beloved 'Greatest Showman') and Jeremy Allen White, this A24 movie is going to wrestle its way into our hearts and not just the ring! 🤼♂️🎥
🎥 Gather 'round, for the wind carries whispers of something both awe-inspiring and heart-wrenching coming our way. The esteemed Sir David Attenborough, a name synonymous with 'The Blue Planet' and 'Planet Earth', brings to us an emotional yet riveting farewell with 'Planet Earth III'.
🌍 While the series promises to yet again dazzle us with the beauty of our world’s most enchanting ecosystems, the first glimpses have left many grappling with a maelstrom of emotions 😢. Yes, pals, we’re diving deep into a visual spectacle that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of our changing planet. A Reddit user succinctly captured the sentiment: "We destroy more and more of the planet and these are a sad guilt trip now."
A poignant reminder that while we bask in the series' unmatched visual splendor, it’s also a clarion call to protect our delicate world. But fret not, Attenborough, at a spirited 97, assures us he’s far from uttering his last words in the realm of wildlife storytelling.
Ahoy, @moviebuffs and buffs-to-be! 🎬 Jason Statham is back, and he’s buzzingly angry in 'The Beekeeper'! 🐝 Directed by David Ayer (oh yes, the mind behind 'End of Watch' and 'Fury'), the film whirls around Statham as he unleashes his trademark vengeance, but with a twist – he's a former agent of a shadowy organization ominously dubbed The Beekeepers. His mission? Expose corruption and, you guessed it, 'Protect the hive.'
The cast nestles talents like Emmy Raver-Lampman and the ever-so-elegant Jeremy Irons, promising a hive of action, mystery, and perhaps, a dab of honeyed conspiracy. The flick is expected to swarm the theatres on January 12, 2024! 🎥🍯
