Peter Chan Sets Sights on London Martial Arts Fantasy and Marriage Drama After Shanghai Opener ‘She’s Got No Name’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Fresh from the complex journey of bringing “She’s Got No Name” to screens, director Peter Chan Ho-sun is already mapping out his next moves, with several projects in development that span from London-based martial arts fantasy to intimate marriage dramas. Speaking to Variety during the Shanghai International Film Festival, which opened with “She’s Got No Name,” Chan revealed he’s been spending considerable time in Los Angeles working on international co-productions designed for global markets. “Most of the movies that we’re developing are movies of passion that we wanted to make, that are outside our comfort zone in our own home turf,” Chan says. The most advanced of these projects is a martial arts fantasy that has undergone a significant geographical shift. Originally conceived as a Hong Kong-set film with an attached international Chinese actor, Chan has relocated the project to London. “I had an international Chinese actor attached, that was going to be shot in Hong Kong, which is a martial arts fantasy that is set in modern time. And I wanted to change location to London, and I’ve hired an English writer to write,” he reveals. The project, currently titled “Anonymous,” explores a concept rooted in Chinese martial arts tradition but reimagined for contemporary audiences. “It’s about people that have lineage of martial arts from tens of thousands of years ago that would be passed on from generations to generations. And they are all masters in their own right,” Chan explains. The story centers on individuals wh

Will Bee Movie 2 Ever Happen? Everything Jerry Seinfeld Has Said About The Sequel

Will Bee Movie 2 Ever Happen? Everything Jerry Seinfeld Has Said About The Sequel

"Bee Movie" left audiences both delighted and bemused in equal measure (sorry for the pun). This 2007 animated feature film, starring Jerry Seinfeld as Barry B. Benson, took viewers on an unforgettable journey through the life of a bee. Barry, stepping outside the hive for the first time, discovered that humans had been stealing honey from bees—a revelation that shocked him to his core. Horrified further by the sight of bees imprisoned in honey farms, Barry embarked on a daring mission, launching a lawsuit against humanity to reclaim the honey as the rightful property of the bees. If that wasn’t strange enough, the movie’s subplot (yes, another bee-utiful pun) revolved around a romance between Barry, the bee, and a human woman. This unexpected pairing added an extra layer of intrigue to the story. And if you thought things couldn’t get more bizarre, at one point, Winnie the Pooh got shot. Yes, really. It's safe to say "Bee Movie" was a wild ride, generating countless memes since its release. Despite all the buzz (okay, okay, I'll stop), "Bee Movie" remains a standalone release with no sequel in sight. However, Seinfeld might just change that. Alongside a star-studded cast that included Chris Rock, Seinfeld co-wrote and co-produced the film for DreamWorks (the infamous Winnie the Pooh scene was reportedly a jab at Disney). Now, Seinfeld seems to believe the universe is urging him to give audiences what they've craved since 2007: "Bee Movie 2." Seinfeld recently shared a photo on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKqaOj3tyNm/?utm_source=ig_embed

The 15 Worst Things Marvel's Thanos Has Ever Done

The 15 Worst Things Marvel's Thanos Has Ever Done

The Mad Titan. The Purple People-Eater. Evil Grimace. We only made up one of those nicknames, but make no mistake, Thanos is one of the most formidable villains and downright evil in comic book history. That&#39;s due to his sheer strength and commitment to fulfill whatever awful goal he has in mind. He&#39;s even more powerful when he has the power of the Infinity Stones (or Gems) at his disposal, allowing him to bend the fabric of reality to his whims.Whether you&#39;ve read some comics or just stay up-to-date on all things within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you&#39;re probably somewhat familiar with Thanos at this point and a couple of the nefarious acts he&#39;s committed. But whatever you know likely only scratches the surface of his madness. Some may have the unpopular opinion that Thanos is a terrible on-screen villain, but you&#39;ll change your tune once you realize how far he&#39;s willing to go. Keep reading to learn about the worst things Thanos has ever done to see why his name should absolutely inspire fear in all. Let&#39;s start off with Thanos&#39; most famous act of villainy — wiping out half of all life in the universe. He&#39;s done it on a couple of occasions, starting with the comics where he did it to appease the embodiment of Death. Thanos was dead at the time, but Death resurrected him, seeing as there was an imbalance in the universe. She tasks Thanos with eliminating half of all life forms, and he&#39;s more than happy to oblige.Balance is also the name of the game when it comes to the MCU. However, this time, Thanos isn&#39;t trying to win favor with Death, who would later be embodied by Aubrey Plaza in &#34;Agatha All Along.&#34; Instead, Thanos saw what ove

Why The Jurassic World Movies Never Featured Full-On Dinosaur City Chaos

Why The Jurassic World Movies Never Featured Full-On Dinosaur City Chaos

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The "Jurassic World" trilogy, much like the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy, will be remembered as a mixed bag within one of the world's most iconic franchises. The first film in the series, directed by Colin Trevorrow, was a monumental success, transporting us back to a fully operational dinosaur theme park—a dream brought vividly to life. The sequel, "Fallen Kingdom," literally obliterated Isla Nublar, setting the stage for a world where humans and dinosaurs would inevitably coexist. However, the 2022 installment, "Dominion," failed to deliver what many anticipated: a global rampage of dinosaurs wreaking havoc in cities around the world. Why didn’t this thrilling vision come to fruition? In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Trevorrow addressed the absence of citywide dinosaur attacks throughout the "Jurassic World" trilogy. Although "Dominion" largely isolates the dinosaurs again, focusing instead on giant locusts for much of its runtime, it does feature some sequences that hint at the chaos we hoped to see. So why not commit entirely to the idea? Trevorrow revealed that he gave the matter considerable thought: "When I say that, it’s not just the films; it’s our animated shows as well. They did a lot of that, especially the new one [Jurassic World: Chaos Theory]," Trevorrow explained. Indeed, Netflix's animated series "Chaos Theory" delves deeply into the concept of dinosaurs existing in the real world, following in the footsteps of the beloved "Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

Giuseppe Tornatore Reveals ‘Cinema Paradiso’ Took 11 Years to Brew, at Shanghai Festival Masterclass

Giuseppe Tornatore Reveals ‘Cinema Paradiso’ Took 11 Years to Brew, at Shanghai Festival Masterclass

Sometimes the best stories are worth the wait. Giuseppe Tornatore revealed at a Shanghai International Film Festival masterclass that his beloved Oscar-winning film “Cinema Paradiso” gestated for 11 years before he wrote a single word. “When I made my first film about the Mafia [“The Professor”], I was already brewing the script for ‘Cinema Paradiso’ in my mind,” Tornatore explained to film scholar Marco Müeller during the conversation at Shanghai, where he served as the head of the main competition jury. “It took 11 years of contemplation before I actually started writing the script.” When he finally put pen to paper after more than a decade of contemplation, the script poured out in just two and a half months. “I had been thinking about this story for 11 years,” he said. “Once I started writing, it felt like the story was already complete in my mind.” The evening followed a screening of “Cinema Paradiso,” with Tornatore weaving together memories of his Sicilian childhood and reflections on storytelling that spans decades. He later revealed a serendipitous encounter that validated his creative process. “After this film was completed, I once met the author of ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude,&#39;” Tornatore recounted. “During our conversation, Gabriel García Márquez said something to me: when you start brewing a story in your mind, don’t write it immediately, just think about it — the more you think, the richer the story becomes.” The director’s relations

Long Before Indiana Jones, John Wayne Starred In His Own Treasure-Hunting Adventure Movie

Long Before Indiana Jones, John Wayne Starred In His Own Treasure-Hunting Adventure Movie

When Indiana Jones debuted in 1981&#39;s &#34;Raiders of the Lost Ark&#34; (still the best Indiana Jones movie) he represented something entirely new yet distinctly recognizable. At least, he was recognizable to anyone who&#39;d grown up in the decades prior to his arrival. Indy creator George Lucas and director of the first four movies, Steven Spielberg, have made no secret of the inspirations behind Henry Jones Jr. Aside from the adventure serials of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, the character&#39;s look was influenced by Humphrey Bogart&#39;s character in &#34;Treasure of the Sierra Madre.&#34; But Charlton Heston&#39;s Harry Steele in 1954 &#39;s &#34;Secret of the Incas&#34; is arguably the most Indiana Jones-like figure from that era, with his large fedora and brown leather jacket providing a blueprint for Harrison Ford&#39;s intrepid archeologist. It wasn&#39;t just Bogart and Heston that formed part of the genesis of Indiana Jones, though. Lucas was inspired by so many of the films he&#39;d seen as a child, and while one mostly overlooked John Wayne adventure outing might not have been a direct inspiration, it has all the makings of an Indy classic. Wayne might be best known for epitomizing the Western star and generally representing the archetypal American hero (at least for a period when culture was generally much more conservative), but he also got in on the treasure hunting action. In the mid-1950s the renowned star fronted a movie that would have provided the perfect adventure for Dr. Jones himself, complete with lost desert cities, treasure, and a female companion who&#39;s just as plucky as the leading man.By the mid-1950s John Wayne was a well-established star. Having broken through with John Ford&#39;s &#34;Stagecoach&#34; back in 1939, Duke had become a real American icon in the years since, t

Why Disney Had To Cut A Controversial Scene From The Santa Clause

Why Disney Had To Cut A Controversial Scene From The Santa Clause

Although marketed as a delightful holiday comedy for families, John Pasquin's 1994 blockbuster "The Santa Clause" harbors a dark and twisted premise at its core. The story unfolds on Christmas Eve, where divorced dad Scott Calvin (played by Tim Allen) is caring for his young son Charlie (Eric Lloyd). As they settle in for the night, an unusual commotion echoes from the rooftop. Investigating, Scott encounters the very real Santa Claus preparing to descend his chimney. In a moment of panic, Scott's startled outburst causes the jolly old man to tumble off the roof to his untimely demise. This accidental manslaughter of Santa Claus serves as an unsettling foundation for what is supposed to be a heartwarming tale for children, let alone the broader Disney "Santa Clause" franchise. Among Santa's belongings, Scott discovers a business card urging him to don the iconic red coat and continue Santa's duties. Reluctantly, Scott pilots the sleigh back to the North Pole, where he learns from the chief elf Bernard (David Krumholtz) that by wearing the coat, he has officially assumed the mantle of Santa Claus—though he failed to read the fine print. Over the following year, Scott undergoes a startling transformation: gaining weight, his hair turning gray, and his beard growing unnaturally fast. Beneath the lighthearted Disney fantasy lies a darker, more Cronenbergian narrative—a tale where Scott is repulsed by his gradual bodily metamorphosis. Yet, "The Santa Clause" lacks the audacity to delve fully into horror. Indeed, the creators of "The Santa Clause" were compelled to remove a rather adult joke from the film after its initial theatrical release and VHS distribution. Early in the movie, Scott's ex-wife (played by Wendy Crewson) offers him a phone number. He quips, "1-800-SPANK-ME? I know that number." According to
