The group’s mission is clear: locate survivors and help make what’s left of the world a slightly better place. With dogged determination, Morgan Jones (James) leads the group with a philosophy rooted in benevolence, community and hope. Each character believes that helping others will allow them to make up for the wrongs of their pasts. But trust won’t be easily earned. Their mission of helping others will be put to the ultimate test when our group finds themselves in unchartered territory, one which will force them to face not just their pasts but also their fears. It is only through facing those fears that the group will discover an entirely new way to live, one that will leave them forever changed.

The series stars Lennie James, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, Danay García, Maggie Grace, Garret Dillahunt, Austin Amelio, Ruben Blades, and Jenna Elfman, Alexa Nisenson, and Austin Amelio as Dwight.

Dumbo Flies to #1 at the Box Office, Captain Marvel Nears $1 Billion

Dumbo Flies to #1 at the Box Office, Captain Marvel Nears $1 Billion

Walt Disney Pictures‘s Dumbo flew to the top spot at the domestic box office, but still short of studio expectations. The live-action remake brought in an estimated $45 million at the domestic box office but managed $71 million internationally for a global debut of $116 million. This mark’s director Tim Burton’s fifth highest opening weekend, besting most of the recent work by the filmmaker and marking his highest since 2010’s Alice in Wonderland. The live-action remake stars Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell, Nico Parker, Finley Hobbins, with Michael Keaton, and Eva Green.

Filmmaker Jordan Peele’s sophomore effort Us slipped into second place with an estimated $33.6 million haul, though a dip from last week by 52.7% it matched the opening weekend for Get Out. The film has now brought in $128 million domestically and another $46.3 million internationally for a worldwide total of $174.5 million.

Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures’ Captain Marvel fell to third place, adding another $20 million for a US total of $335.3 million. Internationally the film brought in $26.4 million, giving it an international total of $636.9 million and a global total of $990 million. The film is already the 7th highest grossing movie in the MCU, besting Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, and will likely cross the $1 billion mark later this week.

Lionsgate’s Five Feet Apart stayed steady at fourth place with $6.2 million and a domestic total of $35.8 million. The romantic comedy stars Haley Lu Richardson and Cole Sprouse, and is already in the green off a reported budget somewhere in the $5 million to $7 million range.

Elsewhere at the box office

Filmmaker Harmony Korine’s The Beach Bum, his first movie since 2013’s Spring Breakers, debuted in theaters with $1.8 million.

Hotel Mumbai expanded into 924 theaters and brought in $3.1 million.

Official NOS4A2 trailer for AMC and Joe Hill’s horror series

AMC has released the official full-length NOS4A2 trailer for their upcoming supernatural series, which you can check out in the player below!

The series stars Zachary Quinto as the main antagonist Charlie Manx, Ashleigh Cummings as Vic McQueen, Olafur Darri Olafsson as Bing Patridge, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Chris McQueen, and Virginia Kull as Linda McQueen.

RELATED: Zachary Quinto & Ashleigh Cummings to Lead AMC’s NOS4A2 Series

NOS4A2, based on Joe Hill’s bestselling novel of the same name, tells the story of Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – an icy, twisted Christmas village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Manx finds his whole world threatened when a young woman in New England discovers she has a dangerous gift.

The Goldfinch‘s Ashleigh Cummings will play Vic McQueen, a young, working-class artist whose creativity awakens a supernatural ability to track Manx (Quinto). What Vic lacks in social confidence, she makes up for in courage, humor, and tough-as-nails grit. She strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.

RELATED: Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 Series Coming from AMC

NOS4A2 is produced by AMC Studios in association with Tornante Television. The series is executive produced by Joe Hill, Jami O’Brien (Fear The Walking Dead, Hell On Wheels), who created the show for television and will serve as showrunner, and Lauren Corrao, Co-President of Tornante Television. The cast also includes the previously announced Olafur Darri Olafsson (Lady Dynamite) as Bing Partridge, Virginia Kull (The Looming Tower) as Linda McQueen, Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher) as Chris McQueen and Jahkara Smith (aka Sailor J) as Maggie Leigh.

The first season is slated to premiere Sunday, June 2 at 9pm/8c.

Theresa Randle Will Return as Marcus’ Wife in Bad Boys for Life

Theresa Randle Will Return as Marcus’ Wife in Bad Boys for Life

Another veteran of the first two Bad Boys movies is returning for the third installment as BlackFilm reports that Theresa Randle (Girl 6, Spawn) will reprise her role of Theresa -the wife of Detective Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence)- in Sony’s Bad Boys for Life. This will mark her first film appearance since 2010’s Shit Year.

RELATED: First Bad Boys For Life Set Photos Feature Will Smith in Action

The new installment centers on the Miami PD and its elite AMMO team’s attempt to take down Armando Armas, head of a drug cartel. Armando is a cold-blooded killer with a vicious, taunting nature. He is committed to the work of the cartel and is dispatched by his mother to kill Mike Lowery. Paola Nuñez will take on the role of Rita, the tough and funny criminal psychologist who is the newly appointed head of AMMO and Mike’s former girlfriend- and the one who got away.

Along with stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos) will also reprise his role as Captain Howard and Theresa Randle will again play Marcus’ wife Theresa. They’ll be joined by new cast members Vanessa Hudgens (The Princess Switch), Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games) and Charles Melton (Riverdale) playing a modern highly specialized police unit that collides with the old school Bad Boys (Smith and Lawrence) when a new threat emerges in Miami. Other newcomers include Jacob Scipio (Hunter Killer), who will play the ruthless drug cartel leader, Paola Nuñez (The Son) and DJ Khaled in an unspecified role.

The first two Bad Boys films were directed by Michael Bay. Directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will take the reins on the latest entry from a script by Peter Craig (Bad Boys 2), Joe Carnahan (The A-Team) and Chris Bremmer. Jerry Bruckheimer will resume his producing role. Doug Belgrad will also produce, alongside Smith, Barry Waldman, Mike Stenson, Chad Oman and James Lassiter serving as executive producers.

Bad Boys for Life is expected to hit theaters on January 17, 2020.

Mark Hamill Will Voice Chucky in the Child’s Play Remake!

Mark Hamill will voice Chucky in the Child’s Play remake!

Mark Hamill has played Luke Skywalker on the big screen, Amadeus on stage and voiced The Joker on TV. Now the actor can add another iconic feather in his cap as he takes over the voice of homicidal doll Chucky from Brad Dourif in MGM and Orion’s upcoming Child’s Play remake, a re-imagining of the classic 80s horror movie. Check out Hamill’s official announcement below!

“People let me tell you ’bout my best friend…”

The wicked fun begins when @ChildsPlayMovie is unleashed in theaters: Friday, June 21st 2019. #SoLuckyImChucky @MGM_Studios @OrionPictures pic.twitter.com/ExOYuwj9sP

— Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) March 31, 2019

RELATED: The Trailer for the Child’s Play Remake is Here!

Aubrey Plaza (Ingrid Goes West) and Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta) are headlining the new Child’s Play, under the helm of filmmaker Lars Klevberg (Polaroid). Tyler Burton Smith wrote the screenplay based on the 1988 film. In the reboot, Plaza stars as a mother who gives her son Andy, portrayed by Gabriel Bateman (Lights Out), a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature. The new version of the killer doll won’t be a doll possessed by a serial killer but will be a defective Buddy doll whose programming code was hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence.

Additional cast includes Beatrice Kitsos (The Exorcist) and Ty Consiglio (Wonder) who will be playing the roles of Falyn and Pugg respectively, two friends of Andy Barclay in the new film which is currently shooting in Vancouver. Carlease Burke (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) will also star in the film. Mark Hamill (Star Wars) will take over from Brad Dourif (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) as the voice of Chucky.

David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith will produce under their KatzSmith Productions banner. The duo produced last year’s smash hit remake of It, the highest grossing horror film of all time bringing in $700 million at the global box office. Aaron Schmidt and Chris Ferguson will executive produce.

RELATED: Friends ‘Til The End – Ranking the Chucky Movies

This will be a complete diversion from the original Child’s Play movie series created by Don Mancini, which featured Brad Dourif playing a serial killer who used voodoo to place his spirit in a ‘Good Guy Doll,’ which would become the Chucky we all know and love. Though Mancini and producer David Kirschner are currently working on making more Child’s Play movies, as well as a TV series, with Dourif still voicing Chucky, this new take on Child’s Play by MGM will essentially be a competing property, and Mancini and company will not be involved at all.

Child’s Play will debut in theaters on June 21.
