Collider Factory

This week on The Collider Podcast, we're looking at the best films of 2017. We run through our various Top 10 lists, why we selected various movies, and comment on each other's choices. Then we move on to reader hot takes before closing out with our new segment, "Recently Watched", which is a bit different from recommendations. Before, we felt constrained to talk about something we would recommend, and now we're free to just comment on new things we've seen or stuff we've re-watched.

On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (Wednesday, January 10th, 2018) Mark Ellis, Perri Nemiroff, Jon Schnepp, John Rocha discuss the following: 1) Millie Bobby Brown to Play Sherlock Holmes' Sister Enola Holmes in New Movie 2) Disney admits to darkening extras' skin for the live-action Aladdin 3) Todd McFarlane Shares an Update on His 'Spawn' Movie, Which He Compares to 'Jaws' 4) Pinhead Is Back in the First 'Hellraiser: Judgment' Trailer 5) New trailer released for Blockers starring John Cena 6) Mail Bag 7) Live Twitter Questions Deadline reports that Legendary Entertainment has made a deal with Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown to star in and produce a feature film based on the novel series Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer. The book series began in 2006 and spans six novels revolving around mysteries investigated by Sherlock Holmes' much younger sister, Enola. Coming from a report in The Sunday Times, hat tip to Indie Wire, Disney has admitted to using makeup to help dozens of white extras look Middle Eastern for crowd scenes while shooting the upcoming, live-action remake of Aladdin. According to the British newspaper: "The company says it resorted to darkening white people for roles requiring skills that could not be readily found in the Asian community" near Longcross Film Studios, where shooting is underway, "such as stunt men, dancers and camel handlers." AGREE/DISAGREE Spawn creator Todd McFarlane recently spoke to AZ Central (via The Playlist) for Arizona's upcoming Ace Comic-Con when the conversation turned to his Spawn movie reboot set up at Blumhouse. McFarlane said that they have just signed off on the script and are currently budgeting the movie as a dark and heavy, serious, R-rated film. McFarlane then revealed that the movie he is looking to make is more comparable with Jaws. Bloody Disgusting debuted the first trailer for Lionsgate's Hellraiser: Judgment; the latest installment in the iconic long-running horror franchise, which brings back Pinhead now played by Paul T. Taylor. The movie follows three detectives on the hunt for a serial killer who follow the clues right down to a hellish maze of horrors. Universal Pictures has released a new Blockers trailer for the upcoming comedy. The film revolves around a trio of parents played by Leslie Mann, John Cena, and Ike Barinholtz—who discover their children have a pact to lose their virginity on prom night. Instead of letting it go, they do everything in their power to ensure their kids get "blocked" on prom night.

On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018) Mark Ellis, John Rocha, Perri Nemiroff, Ken Napzok discuss the following:   1) Citi Analysts predict Apple to buy Netflix after landmark Disney/Fox deal   2) Female-Led Films Top Box Office for the First Time in 59 Years    3) Christian Bale confirms he was in talks for 'Solo'; hopeful for 'future discussions'   4) First Trailer for Mom and Dad starring Nicolas Cage released   5) New 'Fifty Shades Freed' Trailer    6) Mail Bag    7) Live Twitter Questions   In a new report from Business Insider, there's a chance Apple could buy Netflix after the landmark Disney/Fox deal happened, this according to analysts for Citi. Though Citi's experts give it a 40% chance of happening, Forbes reporter Karl Kaufman argues against it because Apple has already committed $1 billion towards creating new shows and movies. Both companies have not commented on any deal, nor are there any talks at this time.     According to a report from The Wrap, the three top-performing films of 2017: Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Beauty and the Beast, and Wonder Woman, were all headlined by female leads, something that hasn't happened since 1958. According to data from Box Office Madness and Box Office Mojo, the top film of 1958 was South Pacific starring Mitzi Gaynor, the second was the comedy Auntie Mame, which starred Rosalind Russell as a Manhattan socialite and in third was the adaptation of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, starring Elizabeth Taylor in the lead role as Maggie.    BUY/SELL/AGREE/DISAGREE   On a recent appearance on Josh Horowitz's podcast Happy Sad Confused, Christian Bale revealed that he was in talks with Lucasfilm to appear in Solo: A Star Wars Story, before ultimately passing - giving Woody Harrelson access to the part in the end.   The first trailer for Mom and Dad has landed online. The film comes from writer/director Brian Taylor, one half of the directing duo that helmed Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and the first two Crank films. For his first solo effort, Taylor takes on a darkly comic action thriller in which parents of a small suburban town suddenly have the urge to murder their children. Mom and Dad stars Nicolas Cage and Selma Blair and will hit theatres and VOD on January 19th.   Universal Pictures has released a new trailer for Fifty Shades Freed. In the final installment of the trilogy, Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan) tie the knot, but demons from both their paths threaten to rip apart their happiness. The film opens on February 9th.    MAIL BAG   LIVE TWITTER QUESTIONS   Check out the YouTube Playlist for Awesometacular: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLayt6616lBckuUHPMdwFINi_vcyc-ysnC   Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ColliderVideo Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ColliderVideo Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/colliderdotcom   Follow Mark: https://twitter.com/MarkEllisLive Follow Perri: https://twitter.com/PNemiroff Follow John: https://twitter.com/TheRochaSays Follow Ken: https://twitter.com/KenNapzok   As the online source for movies, television, breaking news, incisive content, and imminent trends, Collider Videos is more than an essential destination.   Visit Collider: http://collider.com   Follow them on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Collider   SUBSCRIBE TO THE SCHMOES YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE: https://www.youtube.com/user/schmoesknow   Collider Show Schedule:   MONDAY: TV Talk | http://bit.ly/29BR7Yi    TUESDAY: Heroes | http://bit.ly/29F4Job   Team Schmoedown | http://bit.ly/29C2iRV    WEDNESDAY: Nightmares | http://bit.ly/29BQUV3    THURSDAY:...

This week on The Collider Podcast, we're joined by Allison Keene to talk about the year in television. There were about 450 scripted TV shows, and we only scratch the surface by talking about our Top 5 shows of the year, shows that disappointed us, shows that surprised us, the difficulty of settling on shows and having them become part of the zeitgeist, what we're looking forward to in 2018, and much more.

This week on The Collider Podcast, we're joined by Haleigh Foutch to talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. During our conversation, we praise all the ways writer-director Rian Johnson handled his installment, how the movie functions as a rebuttal of fandom's requests, where the movie comes up a bit short, what it means for Episode 9, and much more.

This week on The Collider Podcast, we're talking about the Golden Globes nominations and the overall state of the Oscar race. We look at the hopefuls that are likely DOA, the frontrunners, the frontrunners who have fallen back, make a very premature guess at the year's Best Picture winner, and much more.
