Barry Sonnenfeld's "The Addams Family" turns 30 this year, and it's hard to imagine the irreverently macabre movie starring Raul Julia, Angelica Houston, and Christopher Lloyd as anything other than a hit.
But when it was in production, the movie was anything but a sure hit, and the success of "The Addams Family" is even more impressive when one realizes the challenges Sonnenfeld faced when the movie was filming. Halfway through shooting, the movie moved from the first director-friendly Orion Pictures to Paramount and then had to deal with a leadership change at the movie's new studio.

The sequel is as hopeless as the first feature-length animated Addams Family, an eyeball-achingly bright and manic kids movie
In 2019, the hopelessly uncreepy animation The Addams Family made it look as if film-makers Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon had dug up the bluish mottled corpse of Charles Addams’s creation, attempted CPR and passed it off as a reboot. Now, here’s film No 2; and after a couple years there’s an unmistakably rotten smell wafting up from the franchise. As charmless as its predecessor, The Addams Family 2 is without an iota of ooky, nor any shred of kooky. Really, it’s just kind of ghastly – and not in the intended way.
Inexplicably, most of the talented voice cast return for more punishment. Oscar Isaac is paterfamilias Gomez, with Charlize Theron playing wife Morticia (though without the deliciousness Angelica Houston brought to the 90s live action movies). Actually, the...

The female-focused spinoff to the John Wick franchise is moving forward at Lionsgate.
Len Wiseman is coming back to movies after a seven year break from the big screen. His last film was 2012's Total Recall remake with Colin Farrell, and since then he's directed episodes of Swamp Thing, Sleepy Hollow and The Gifted, among others. Now, it's been announced that he will helm Lionsgate's John Wick spinoff film, Ballerina.
Per Deadline Ballerina "focuses on a young female assassin who seeks revenge against the people who killed her family" and so presumably we'll be delving into the life of one of Angelica Houston's brutalized protégés from John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. This will be a female character-driven project written by Shay Hatten, who co-wrote Parabellum and Zack Snyder's Netflix movie, Army Of The Dead.
There is currently no official lead actress attached to the film.

Stanley Tucci has been added to the cast of Robert Zemeckis’ adaptation of Roald Dahl’s ‘The Witches’.
Also joining Tucci on the cast is comedian Chris Rock. Both Tucci and Rock join the already cast Anne Hathaway as the Grand High Witch, the role previously played by Angelica Houston in the 1990 classic, and Octavia Spencer who will play the role of the grandmother of the main character Bruno.
It has been reported that the new version will be staying closer to the novel than the 1990 offering which was merely a loose adaptation. The film follows a seven-year-old boy (Bruno) who has a run-in with real-life witches.
Zemeckis, as well as directing, will also pen the script. He will also serve as producer with his partner Jack Rapke through their banner ImageMovers, along with Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo del Toro.

Awesome New John Wick: Chapter 3 Video Called "Art of Action" Focuses on a Motorcycle Fight Sequence
We’ve got a cool new featurette for you to check out today for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. It’s called “Art of Action” and it focuses on an action sequence in the film that involves Keanu Reeves fighting a bunch of assassins on motorcycles. Yes, it looks as badass as it sounds.
The featurette not only shows off some new footage from the film, but it also features Reeves and director Chad Stahelski talking about the film and how it was inspired by the 2017 Korean action film Villainess. They also show some behind-the-scenes footage showing the preparation that goes into shooting a crazy scene like this.
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is on the run for two reasons… he’s being hunted for a global $14 million dollar open contract on his life, and for breaking a central rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds. The victim was...

We’ve already heard John Wick director Chad Stahelski say that he could make John Wick films for the rest of his life. Then co-star Ian McShane has said that he thinks the franchise could go another 10 years. Well, now Keanu Reeves is weighing in on continuing the action franchise and he would love to keep it going for as long as he can.
When asked by GQ how long he would stay attached to the franchise, he said:
"As far as my legs can take me. As far as the audience wants to go."
I love this franchise, so I certainly hope that we continue to see more badass adventures of John Wick for years to come!

Lionsgate has shared a new IMAX poster for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and it invites fans to check back in. The poster has a “Last Supper” kind of vibe, but instead of trying to get close to Wick, everyone here seems to be keeping their distance.
Keanu Reeves is back as John Wick, and as you’ve seen in the awesome trailers that have been released, he’s fighting for his life as every assassin in the world is coming after him. Luckily for him, he’s a badass and none of these other assassins stand a chance!

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is easily one of the most anticipated films of the year for a lot of fans. All of the trailers and clips that we’ve seen from the film have been awesomely spectacular. But, during the Lionsgate Panel at CinemaCon, we were shown a new clip, and it’s easily the most badass footage that I’ve seen from the film so far.
The clip featured John Wick (Keanu Reeves) and Sofia (Halle Berry) teaming up to invade some kind of castle-like compound. John doesn’t want to rush in and start shooting. He just wants to have a conversation with the people they are going to see, but she tells him that it’s never just a conversation.
The clip then cuts to the action! John and Sofia enter the compound and just start blowing people away with precision and skill. It’s...

It has been reported that the new version will be staying truer to the novel than the 1990 offering which was merely a loose adaptation. The film follows a seven-year-old boy (Bruno) who has a run-in with real-life witches.

We’ve got a brand new photo to share with you today from John Wick: Chapter 3, and it gives us our first look at Angelica Houston’s mysterious new character, Roma Ruska. In the photo, she is having a little sit-down with Keanu Reeves.
When talking about Houston’s character in an interview with Empire, Reeves teased:
“We’re trying to make it that there are different tribes, less nondescript assassins. Anjelica Huston is playing this Roma Ruska character.”
Her character was also described as “someone who was responsible for [Wick’s] upbringing and his protection.”
This next chapter of the film literally connects to Chapter 2 and starts with John Wick on the run. “It goes crazy from there.” Here’s the synopsis:

This role was previously played by Angelica Houston in the 1990 adaptation of the Roald Dahl story. That adaptation was directed by Nicolas Roeg. At this time, there is no word regarding who will be playing the other major roles in the upcoming adaptation.
