Disney Announces Live-Action 'Lilo & Stitch 2' is Now in Development "Should’ve known he couldn’t keep a secret..." Happy 626 Day, Lilo & Stitch fans! (Aka "National Stitch Day"!) Disney has officially announced that a sequel to the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie is currently in development now - no release date set yet. The live-action version of the animated classic open in theaters worldwide in May 2025 earlier this summer. It was a huge hit (currently earned $914 million worldwide) and fans love it, so they're already happy to start making another one. The original Lilo & Stitch animated movie opened in 2002 and they actually did make a direct-to-home-video sequel for it back in 2005 titled Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch. Though I expect this live-action sequel to go in a different direction. 2025 Lilo & Stitch director Dean Fleischer Camp is expected to return with the cast: Maia Kealoha as Lilo, Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, with Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis. This is just an announcement in celebration of "626 Day", confirming the sequel is in the works. But no other details are available just yet - stay tuned. Who's excited? Here's the announcement video for […]

Official Trailer for Doc Film 'Shari & Lamb Chop' About Shari Lewis "I can, I can, I can, and I will!" "Okay, good." Kino Lorber has revealed an official trailer for a documentary film titled Shari & Lamb Chop, two names which many of you will instantly recognize together. It's a doc about the iconic TV host, entertaining, and famous ventriloquist Shari Lewis and her career. Set to open in theaters starting in July. The full intro via DOC NYC (where it first premiered in 2023): "Shari Lewis was a dancer, singer, and magician but is best known as the ventriloquist behind sock puppets Charlie Horse, Hush Puppy and, of course, Lamb Chop. This lively doc charts the life, loves, and career hits and misses of this spunky perfectionist, who forever changed the face of children's television. Featuring ventriloquists who she inspired and nostalgia-inducing clips, this upbeat portrait of brilliant Bronx native turned beloved TV personality brims, like Lewis, with warmth and charm." This is a fantastic doc trailer that really sells this film, I'm convinced to watch it now. This look like a heartfelt and inspiring story in so many unique ways. Even if you're not familiar with her or Lamb Chop already, still looks like it's worth a watch. Opens […]

Final Trailer for 'Eddington' Starring Joaquin Phoenix vs Pedro Pascal "We are in a fight against evil." A24 has revealed one final official trailer for Ari Aster's Eddington, set to crash into theaters this July. Ready to watch them fight? This premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews - some love it, some hate it, most were right in the middle on it. The film features Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Amélie Hoeferle, William Belleau, plus Austin Butler & Emma Stone. The only short synopsis: In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in the small town of Eddington, NM. This is sort of a pandemic movie but it's mainly about how the Covid-19 pandemic broke the minds of many Americans, showing the downfall of many people in this one tiny town. Led by the Sheriff who goes crazy while in a feud with the local Mayor. I'm not a big fan of Eddington - I think it's a bit of a mess with a mixed message that doesn't hit hard enough. Although this trailer does make it look like a damn good movie with […]
