‘M3GAN’: James Wan Says The Mission Was To Create A “Grounded” & “Real” Story About A Dancing Murder Doll

FX Boss John Landgraf said today at the network’s TCA day thatRyan Murphy’s American Story spinoff American Sports Story is “heading toward production.”

In the first of a number of interviews promoting new memoir Spare, Prince Harry has said he’s “spent the last six years trying to get through to my family privately” before reaching the point of “fleeing my home country fearing for our lives.”

As soon as James Cameron and 20th Century Fox announced four more “Avatar” films following the juggernaut success of the original movie, naysayers immediately doubted audiences’ appetite for more. But as usual, Cameron has proved the skeptics wrong.

James Cameron believes Avatar: The Way of Water will break even, and is confident Disney will proceed with the sequels.

Avatar 3, which is already in the can – we’ve already captured and photographed the whole film so we’re in extended post-production to do all that CG magic. And then Avatar 4 and 5 are both written.

As “Avatar: The Way Of Water” continues to rake at the global box office, it’s a good chance that James Cameron completes his vision and makes “Avatar” movies through 2028. But if he could work on something else, what would be it? According to the latest episode of Kim Master‘s “The Business” podcast, Cameron would love to return to the world of “Alita: Battle Angel,” and possibly do so on streaming.

A betrayal? Prince Harry shared the story of a frantic phone call from a “seething” Prince William, who claimed that members of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla‘s team “planted” stories about Princess Kate and his kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Yesterday, Variety published a piece about what plans DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have for the DCU‘s immediate future. But this morning, Gunn took to Twitter to dismiss some of the publication’s claims, including the future of Wonder Woman and Ezra Miller staying on as The Flash.

As “Avatar: The Way Of Water” continues to soar at the box office, the adage “don’t bet against James Cameron” proves correct. The first sequel to Cameron’s 2009 smash hit likely crosses the $1.5 billion gross barrier today.

James Marsden is opening up about the cancellation of Westworld after four seasons on HBO.

Though the most recent ‘Conjuring’ film, ‘The Devil Made Me Do It,’ didn’t gross nearly as much as the first two films in the franchise, it would be silly to call it a failure. James Wan’s ‘Conjuring’ films, and by extension, the cinematic universe he created, are all made with relatively small budgets and all turn a hefty profit.

“I had a bit of a crisis of faith as we were cutting the movie together,” admitted James Cameron of his billion-dollar-grossing Avatar: The Way of Water. “It was too violent. I wanted a balance between the beauty, the epiphany, the kind of spiritual aspect of the film, with the action, and I felt it had gotten a little too grim.”

It’s no secret that James Cameron wants the world of Pandora in his “Avatar” franchise to look as realistic as possible. But it’s not all about digital verisimilitude for the director; it’s a practical feature in casting, too.

More than a year ago, Matt Damon was at the Cannes Film Festival talking to an audience, and the actor shared an embarrassing story. He revealed that James Cameron called him up and offered him the lead in “Avatar,” and the filmmaker even offered him a lucrative deal worth 10% of the film’s profits if he would do it.
