Upon the release of Beauty and the Beast in 1991, the movie made history with its soundtrack, which became the first animated film soundtrack to receive an Album of the Year Grammy nomination.

Beauty and the Beast might be a tale as old as time, but its songs are true classics as well, and everyone who’s anyone is waiting to hear how they’ll sound in the new, live-action version. It’s an unenviable position for the cast to be in; not least, Emma Watson, who has a tough act to follow. As the original Belle, Paige O’Hara was an established musical star, whereas this is Watson’s first major singing role....

Rather, it is the Academy Award-winning director’s position behind the camera that really has people excited....
A completely unexpected, if not totally believable, rumor surfaced claiming Ben Stiller is joining the cast of Fast & Furious 9. With only four months left until its scheduled release of May 2020, it may seem weird that the newest Fast & Furious film would be adding any new characters. The film is already stacked with its core cast, returning favorites and a few newcomers, but for a series that’s grossed over $5 billion worldwide, it seems like there’s so such thing as “too much....

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Thomas Edison drama, The Current War, has been picked up and re-scheduled for an October release date. The film was actually shot in 2016, and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival the year after.

Following TWC’s bankruptcy, the movie was acquired by a couple new distributors and had its eye on a 2018 release, before the deal fell through and it was subsequently purchased by the newly-formed 101 Studios for $3 million last month....
