Thanks to breakout roles in the Scream revival, Netflix's Wednesday and last year's Beetlejuice sequel, Jenna Ortega is fast becoming one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise to learn that she's being courted by Marvel Studios.
We have previously heard that Ortega was being eyed for a superhero part, but Daniel Richtman is now reporting that the actress is being considered for a big Marvel Cinematic Universe role.
It's always worth noting that Marvel meets with a lot of talent, but if Ortega has actually entered negotiations for an upcoming project, there's a good chance the trades will get hold of the story before too long.
Even if she is in talks, there's no guarantee that things will work out. Ortega has a busy schedule ahead, with a lead role in Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun adaptation,...

Johnny Depp has done a slew of versatile roles in his long career, be it more mature films like Donnie Brasco, or children’s fantasy features like Pirates of the Caribbean and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. However, whenever it came to what he was filming, Johnny Depp was very aware of what he was getting into.

"I only directed something someone else wrote once and it was a misbegotten adventure from the beginning, as much my fault as anybody else's." Those are the words of director David Koepp, speaking to UCLA in 2022. The misbegotten adventure in question was 2015's "Mortdecai," a globe-trotting comedy starring then-a-lister Johnny Depp. It was a massive failure both critically and commercially, one that Koepp doesn't seem to have an interest in defending.
Koepp is no stranger to big hits. As a screenwriter, he helped turn "Jurassic Park" into one of the biggest movies ever, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. As a director? It's a touch more spotty, but the man knows his way around a success. He previously helmed the thriller "Secret Window,...

Though Tim Burton has had a long career and his most successful film made a killing at the box office, it hasn't aged nearly as well as a 1999 made-for-tv movie that cost a fraction of Burton's budget. Tim Burton's movies have had wild swings in terms of success, with his heyday undoubtedly coming in the 1980s and early '90s, with classics like Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas (though Burton didn't direct), and Batman Returns. Since then, his career has been more sporadic, with highs like 2003's Big Fish, but also some real lows, like 2012's Dark Shadows, with the box office and critical reviews to match.
Recently, Burton has experienced a little bit of a career resurgence, thanks to trying something new while also returning to an old friend. The sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was a box office success, generating largely positive reviews and racking up $451 million on a budget of $100 million.

35 years later, Tim Burton still hasn't beat his own box office record, which he accomplished with his third feature movie. Though he has directed many popular titles throughout his career, even Tim Burton's best movies aren’t known for being blockbuster successes. Rather, they're loved for their signature gothic tone and practical visuals, as well as their weird worlds and unique characters. The director's filmography has some contrasting titles, ranging from great to controversial to middling, and consists mainly of remakes of popular stories and Burton originals.
Notably, Burton finally gained redemption after Dumbo's flop and is having an artistic resurgence at the moment — having re-found his passion for unconventional and grotesque narratives with the Netflix adaptation of the Addams Family, Wednesday, and the sequel to his 1988 cult classic, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Peter Ostrum was born in Dallas, Texas in 1957, but spent a substantial portion of his childhood in Cleveland, Ohio. It was in Cleveland that he began acting professionally, appearing in children's theater productions at the Cleveland Play House. The story goes that talent scouts from Paramount, sometime in 1970, were scouring children's theaters looking for potential actors to play the five central children in a film adaptation of Roald Dahl's confection-based 1964 novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
The 12-year-old Ostrum was asked to pose for a few Polaroids and was recorded reading passages from Dahl's book into a tape recorder. He also sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee" as proof of his singing abilities. The pictures and recordings were then flown to New York and shown to the film's producers. Ostrum was perfect and beat out many, many other children for the role of Charlie Bucket. His experience on stage gave him an edge.

The coveted IMDb's Top 250 wouldn't be anything without the directors who made the movies. Those are the daring filmmakers that said, "Nope, this is how it's going to be, and you folks are gonna love it (hopefully)," and as a result delivered some of the greatest movies ever made and more importantly, saw their project earn a few pennies at the box-office for their troubles. Visiting alien worlds, ancient civilizations or simply applying some good old-fashioned movie magic, directors have taken a variety of avenues that as a result, led audiences in droves to theatres following releases of blockbuster-making hits.

Johnny Depp has been one of the biggest working movie stars since the '90s, and possibly even the '80s if his smaller roles are to be considered, and yet the actor's net worth in 2024 is a lot lower than it's ever been in his career. Johnny Depp's professional career began in 1984 when he appeared in a little horror film titled, Nightmare on Elm Street. While many now-famous actors have started in horror, Depp's performance was particularly notable and the longevity of the franchise means his debut is lauded rather than teased at.
From there, Depp went on to star in the hit cop drama series, 21 Jump Street, which led into bigger roles. Johnny Depp's movie and TV career has since grown to include Oscar-worthy performances, tent-pole franchises, and everything in between.

Tim Burton may have reawakened the Ghost With the Most in the recently released sequel to his 1988 comedy-horror film “Beetlejuice,” but that didn’t seem to convince the filmmaker to revisit some of his other classics.
During a Q&a at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday (via IndieWire), Burton dismissed the possibility of developing a sequel to 1990’s “Edward Scissorhands,” which starred Johnny Depp as the titular role.
“There are certain films I don’t want to make a sequel to,” Burton said. “I didn’t want to make a sequel to that because it felt like a one-off thing. I didn’t want to have a sequel for ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ because it also felt like a one-off thing. Certain things are best left on their own, and that, for me, is one of them.”

Tim Burton has addressed the prospect of reuniting with his frequent muse Johnny Depp in a new movie. The iconic director, whose debut feature was 1985's Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, has used the Pirates of the Caribbean star in many of his productions, generally playing exaggerated characters that require a great deal of makeup. The eight-movie roster of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton collaborations includes 1990's Edward Scissorhands, 2010's Alice in Wonderland, 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 1994's Ed Wood, and 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, though Burton has not directed Depp since 2012's Dark Shadows.
Tim Burton recently spoke with IndieWire on the red carpet at the Marrakech International Film Festival. When discussing the prospect of working with Depp again, he stated that he does not start a project with the intention of working with any particular actor, instead using actors to fit the needs of the story.

Despite his recent resurgence with Wednesday and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Tim Burton has issued some caution about reports of his remaking a sci-fi classic. Burton is best known for his work in gothic-style filmmaking, having quickly established the genre penchant with 1988's Beetlejuice and carrying it on in everything from the Oscar-nominated Edward Scissorhands to his producing the stop-motion hits The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.
In addition to his original storytelling, Burton has also frequently found himself in the director's chair for remakes and reimaginings of iconic movies and novels. Beginning with his 1999 adaptation of Sleepy Hollow, the filmmaker has largely found financial success with his takes on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Alice in Wonderland, though all have seen a variety of responses from critics. Even still, that hasn't stopped him from eyeing bringing his vision to another iconic property.

Tim Burton has had a great career recovery with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, however, his remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman puts it in danger due to the original movie’s low Rotten Tomatoes score. Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was originally released in 1958 and followed the story of an heiress called Nancy who, after encountering an alien being, rampages through her town as a giant figure, aiming to get revenge on her cheating husband. 1958’s Attack of the 50 Foot Woman has shockingly low ratings, with just 21% on Rotten Tomatoes, because of its cheesy, low-budget action.
Although Tim Burton’s movies have become famous over the years for their gothic themes, the director’s output has been somewhat disappointing in the last decade. However, 2024’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice garnered good reviews and the cult classic movie sequel was a box office success, marking a significant career recovery for Burton.

The success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has set up one major problem for Tim Burton's next movie, as it's unlikely that Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman will meet the level of success his $450 million sequel has garnered. Not only has the long-awaited sequel almost tripled its budget, but Beetlejuice 2 has hit several box office milestones during its time in theaters. The reception to Burton's work has been inconsistent for over a decade, with films like Dark Shadows and Dumbo performing poorly among critics. However, Beetlejuice 2 has changed this, and his remake of the 66-year-old sci-fi now faces high expectations.
Attack of the Fifty Foot Women must buck Burton's trend of disappointing remakes if his comeback after Beetlejuice 2 is to be successful. With that in mind, Burton's enthusiasm for sci-fi is key to Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman's remake, but it highlights the uphill battle...

Although horror is a movie genre of its own, there are several non-horror movies that have strange scenes that terrify children. Horror is a vast genre with many iconic franchises, including Scream, Halloween, and Friday the 13th. Despite the wide-encompassing genre, not all horror movies or TV shows are necessarily terrifying. There are even horror books that are not too scary, even if they provide a fright now and then. There are also several scary movies that are not horror films at all.
Sometimes, Hollywood produces media for children that is not meant to be scary, but they frighten kids regardless. There are several scary TV shows for kids, while other iconic kids' shows have unforgettable scary moments.

After the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Tim Burtons next movie will see the visionary director return to trickier terrain. Tim Burtons career has seen the director fall in and out of favor with critics, but 2024s belated Beetlejuice sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was his biggest hit in a long time. As well as earning over $450 million at the box office, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice turned around a critical slump that began for Burton back in 2010. The directors live-action re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland failed to win over reviewers despite earning a billion at the box office, starting a string of failures.

Although Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was a huge box office hit, this ironically proves just how unlikely it is for director Tim Burton to make another $1 billion movie. By Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's ending, it was clear that the old Tim Burton was back. The unique fusion of Gothic horror elements and zany cartoon humor that had animated the director's best movies returned in the belated sequel, which could stand alongside Sleepy Hollow, Batman Returns, Big Fish, or the original Beetlejuice as one of his best. Despite Beetlejuice Beetlejuices plot holes, the movie brought back Burtons sense of fun.

The lore and backstory of Willy Wonka was expanded in Wonka, and the blockbuster nature of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory prequel has already created speculation over Wonka 2 and a possible franchise. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the 1971 adaptation of Roald Dahls 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Warner Bros. Pictures Wonka, directed by Paul King and starring Timothe Chalamet as the titular lead, expands on the backstory of Willy Wonka and how he became the master chocolatier played by Gene Wilder in the 1971 original.
Since its adapting such a well-known intellectual property, there have been questions about Warner Bros. Pictures plans when it comes to the future of Wonka and if there will be more franchise plans in the future. Though news has been rather scant regarding a sequel, it has been announced that work is taking place behind the scenes to make a follow-up happen.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Box Office (Worldwide): Hits $450M(Photo Credit – Instagram)
Tim Burton’s gothic horror comedy is determined to keep going at the box office. Despite being available on digital platforms, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice refuses to leave the theatres. Not only in North America but globally as well, the movie is still performing better than many other new releases. Jenna Ortega, Monica Belucci, Justin Theroux, and Willem Dafoe join the Og cast of Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara in this latest sequel, creating the same old magic after over three decades.
It is one of the highest-grossing films of the year. It seems to be planning to become the director’s second-highest-grossing film by beating Charlie and the Chocolate Pactory’s global haul. Beating Tim’s biggest film, Alice in Wonderland, would be too farfetched as it collected around $1.02 billion worldwide.

Director and producer George Nolfi offers a surprising update for Taika Waititi's Flash Gordon reboot after three years of silence. First created by Alex Raymond in 1934 for comics, Mike Hodges brought the character to the big screen in 1980 with Flash Gordon, starring Sam Jones, Melody Anderson, Brian Blessed, Timothy Dalton, and Max Von Sydow. Waititi was brought on board to write and direct an animated reboot for 20th Century and Disney, though it was later reconceived as a live-action project in 2021.
As Nolfi discussed his new action-thriller Elevation with Collider, the director opened up about his involvement with Waititi's Flash Gordon reboot. Nolfi was originally on board as a producer, but he indicated he's drifted away from it in recent years. He said:
I'm not too involved with that one. There are a couple of things coming up that I can't talk about that I'm humbled to be involved...

Wonka director Paul King gives an optimistic update to the 2023 movie sequel's status, including a progress update on the script and a potential plot point. As a musical prequel to Roald Dahl's influential novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the movie tells the story of how a young Willy Wonka (Timothee Chalamet) sets out to revolutionize candy-making and break a corrupt monopoly with nothing but ingenious recipes and a heartfelt promise. Released to positive acclaim, Wonka was a box-office success and entered the top 10 highest-grossing features of the year.
As King attended the premiere of Paddington in Peru, Hey U Guys caught up with the franchise's former director to ask what the current status of Wonka's sequel is.
King stated that work on the movie was still in its early days, revealing that the Wonka 2 script in its current form only consisted of half of an initial draft.

The performance of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice shows that Tim Burton has finally recovered from the billion-dollar movie that sent his career into a tailspin. Burton is a filmmaker who came to prominence in the mid-1980s with his debut feature Pee-wee's BIg Adventure and is best known for his gleefully macabre design sensibility that is showcased in titles such as 1988's Beetlejuice, 1990's Edward Scissorhands, and 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In his career so far, he has been nominated for two Oscars. Both were for Best Animated Feature, for 2005's Corpse Bride and 2012's Frankenweenie.
Burton's most recent project is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the legacy sequel to his horror-comedy hit, which sees him re-teaming with Wednesday's Jenna Ortega as well as legacy stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara, all reprising their roles from the original movie.

Despite his popularity and success with critics and general audiences, not all of Tim Burtons movies have been a hit with critics, and, surprisingly, his best and worst-rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes werent directed by him. Tim Burtons filmmaking career began in the 1970s with various short films, and he made his feature-film directorial debut in 1985 with Pee-wees Big Adventure. However, it was with Beetlejuice in 1988 that Burton could fully show his unique narrative and visual style that mixes horror, fantasy, comedy, and gothic elements.
Since then, Burton has brought his signature style to the superhero genre with Batman and Batman Returns, to stop-motion animation with Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie, to classics of childrens literature like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, sci-fi with Mars Attacks!, and a lot more. Of course, although Burtons works have built a loyal fanbase and many are now cult classics, not all have been well-received by critics,...

Johnny Depp was once one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, known for his iconic role in films like Pirates of the Caribbean, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Edward Scissorhands. While his unique acting style and humor made him a household name, it was not until the highly publicized defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard. The prosecution not only brought a sharp downturn to his critically acclaimed career, but the fallout in his personal life also led to significant professional downfalls, losing his roles at the Disney and WB franchises.
Looking back at the actor’s career, he has contributed significantly to the industry.

Tim Burton isn’t looking to go down any dark holes on the World Wide Web anytime soon.
Ahead of the opening of his new The World of Tim Burton exhibition in London, the legendary filmmaker revealed to BBC News that “anybody who knows me knows I’m a bit of a technophobe.”
“If I look at the Internet, I found that I got quite depressed. It scared me because I started to go down a dark hole. So I try to avoid it because it doesn’t make me feel good,” Burton explained. “I get depressed very quickly, maybe more quickly than other people. But it doesn’t take me much to start to click and start to short circuit.”

Thanks to breakout roles in the Scream revival, Netflix's Wednesday and this year's Beetlejuice sequel, Jenna Ortega is fast becoming one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise to learn that she's being courted by Marvel Studios.
According to scooper Mttsh, Ortega is now in talks for an undisclosed Marvel Cinematic Universe role.
It's always worth noting that Marvel meets with a lot of talent, but if Ortega has actually entered negotiations for an upcoming project, there's a good chance the trades will get hold of the story before too long.
Even if she is in talks, there's no guarantee that things will work out. Ortega has a busy schedule ahead, with a lead role in Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun adaptation, and an untitled Trey Edward Shults film that will co-star The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan.

Prince Charming, the love interest of many a Disney princess, is getting his very own feature film.
“Wonka” filmmaker Paul King, who also helmed the first two “Paddington” features, is directing “Prince Charming” for Disney. King, Simon Barnaby and Jon Croker are co-writing the screenplay, of which plot details have not been confirmed. It’s unclear if the film will be live action or animated.
In classic fairy tales, the Prince Charming character is one who rescues a damsel in distress and sets out to save her from evil forces/ stepmothers. See: “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Rapunzel” and basically any other 20th century Disney movie. In those films, however, he’s usually a side character and not the main star. Though Prince Charming was originally the love interest of Cinderella, this project will not be specifically linked to the curfew-breaking princess, according to Deadline Hollywood, who reported the news...

Keeping up with the vast and enchanting world of Harry Potter, fans often come up with whimsical and deliciously intriguing theories surrounding the character and the universe. This time, we’re back with a rather far-fetched theory that seems to weave together two pieces of literature—J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World and Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Well, the theory posits that George Weasley, the beloved twin from the Harry Potter series, is none other than Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka, the eccentric chocolatier from Roald Dahl’s timeless tale. While this theory might seem bizarre at first, it truly holds a hint of chocolatey imagination beneath the surface.

Village Roadshow Entertainment Group, the production and finance company that has backed the Matrix and Ocean’s franchises, is undergoing a small round of layoffs.
The banner, led by CEO Steve Mosko, has cut eight staffers in business affairs, administration, as well as film and TV roles over the course of the past couple of weeks, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The pink slips arrive as the company is exploring strategic options, including taking on more investors.
On the deals front, Village Roadshow has been relatively quiet this year. The company, which has produced more than 90 features with Warner Bros. over the past several decades including Mad Max: Fury Road, Joker and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has been locked in arbitration with the studio since it filed a lawsuit in February 2022.

The prevailing wisdom on Tim Burton is that the filmmaker lost his touch somewhere between 1996's "Mars Attacks!" and 2003's "Big Fish." Especially in the post "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" years, when he really embraced CGI, the general consensus is that Burton became somewhat of a parody of himself. But with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" it seems the filmmaker has gotten his mojo back, reviving his love of practical effects and the subversive element of his earlier films to deliver a movie that proves the now 66-year-old has still got it.
For me, Burton will forever be one of, if not my favorite filmmaker, simply because his earlier movies set my young imagination alight in a way no other film, TV Show, or any media has. Specifically, his 1992 "Batman" sequel "Batman Returns" remains my most transporting movie experience. The world created by Burton and production designer Bo Welch felt so immersive...

Transformers One has come in below expectations, allowing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to hold on to the top spot at the domestic box office for the third week in a row.
Analysts predicted $30 million to $40 million debut for Paramount's animated prequel, which only ended up taking in $25 million from 3,978 venues. The movie - which had a reported budget of $75 million - also made $14 million internationally, for a global total of $39 million.
Tim Burton's long-awaited sequel added $26 million from 4,172 theaters, bringing its domestic total to $225 million, and $329.7 million worldwide.
Transformers One received positive reviews (89% on Rotten Tomatoes) and strong audience scores, so the belief is that ticket sales could rebound over the next few weeks.

“Transformers One” doesn’t seem primed for a breakout start after earning $9.56 million from 3,978 locations across Friday and preview screenings. That puts the animated prequel, co-produced by Paramount Animation and Hasbro Entertainment, on track for a $26.3 million opening weekend in North America, pacing behind industry projections for a $30 million-plus debut.
Those domestic numbers don’t qualify as a definitive nonstarter for the Paramount release, which was produced at a $75 million budget — a smaller price tag than is typical for a studio animated feature, or a live-action “Transformers” entry for that matter. Moreover, this franchise has proven to be more appealing to international audiences, especially in recent years. But it’s difficult to imagine that there weren’t hopes for a bigger opening to put some more space between “Transformers One” and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which, in its third weekend, is still a contender to lead the charts.

Tim Burtons Upcoming Remake Of 66-Year-Old Horror Movie Now Has A Huge Challenge After Beetlejuice 2

Tim Burton already has a follow-up movie to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in the works, though his next film now has a bigger challenge to succeed after the enthusiastic response to his 2024 horror-comedy. While Burton had already begun his exciting comeback with Wednesday season 1 on TV, Beetlejuice 2 is the gothic fantasy horror auteurs big cinematic return after the mixed reviews and box office disappointment of 2019s Dumbo. His sequel to the 1988 horror movie Beetlejuice officially proves that classic Burton is back, with Beetlejuice 2s stellar reviews and box office performance providing his biggest hit in over a decade.
Even before his hit 2024 movie was released in theaters, it was announced that Tim Burton was attached to direct the upcoming remake of 1958s Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. The classic sci-fi horror movie is right up Burtons alley, harking back to his dabbling in the genre with Mars Attacks! in 1996 and...

Black Mass features some cast members giving fantastic but incredibly eerie performances. The Whitey Bulger biography is not Johnny Depp's most talked-about role, but it is perhaps one of his most chilling. The actor is better known for parts like Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, or Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, which easily overtake Black Mass in popularity, but his part is nonetheless worth looking at.
Whitey Bulger was an Irish-American mobster in South Boston who became one of the most notorious criminals in his area's history. Black Mass tells his true story, specifically chronicling the time wherein Bulger acted as an FBI informant in order to take down a Mafia family that was threatening him. Black Mass was directed by Scott Cooper and based on the book by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. It' screenplay...

It's only been a couple of weekends but it's already safe to say that Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" is one of the biggest box office hits of the year — at least in North America anyhow. The long-awaited sequel to Burton's 1988 classic has been well over three decades in the making. It's crystal clear that everything came together at the right time as audiences have been flocking to theaters to see the Beetlejuice and the Deetz family reunited after all this time. So much so that the sequel is already one of the ten biggest domestic hits of 2024.
"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" took in an estimated $51.6 million domestically on its second weekend, which was more than enough to top the charts. That represents a 53% drop compared to the film's opening weekend, which was a stellar $111 million, making it one of the biggest openings of 2024 thus far. Reviews were good. Word of mouth has been good.
