Month: July 2024

Quiver Distribution is set to give the thriller Detained a limited theatrical release in the United States on August 2nd, and will also be giving the film a digital and VOD release that same day. With the release date just a few days away, we have the trailer for Detained embedded above, and a pair of clips from the film can be found at the bottom of this article, along with a poster.

Abbie Cornish of Sucker Punch, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, the RoboCop remake, Geostorm, and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan stars in Detained, which is coming our way from director Felipe Mucci, who was previously at the helm of the 2020 thriller Two Deaths of Henry Baker. Scripted by Mucci and Jeremy Palmer, Detained has the following synopsis: In the dead of night, Rebecca wakes in a decrepit precinct, accused of a hit-and-run. But a deadly scuffle reveals a sinister plot. With nowhere to turn, she must uncover the truth before it consumes her. But Rebecca harbors secrets darker than they know.

Cornish is joined in the cast by Laz Alonso (best known as Marvin T. Milk / Mother’s Milk / M.M. from The Boys), Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation), John Patrick Amedori (Dear White People), Justin H. Min (Beef), Breeda Wool (Mr. Mercedes), Silas Weir Mitchell (Prison Break), Josefine Lindegaard (Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire), Bernardo De Paula (Shameless), Eduardo Roman (Adam Ruins Everything), Alexandra Blake (Love at the Christmas Contest), Jeremiah OC Jahi (One Life to Live), and newcomers Larry Stenseth and Esther Brown. Sadly, Brown passed away earlier this year at the age of just 26.

Ryan Scaringe produced Detained, with Cornish and Alonso serving as executive producers alongside Monica Sufar.

The movie seems intriguing enough to me and I have been an Abbie Cornish fan since the days of Somersault and Candy (and those days were somehow twenty years ago), so I will probably be watching Detained.

Deadpool & Wolverine, The Proposal, Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock

As the excitement of Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine‘s box office-breaking launch begins to simmer down, how the bloody buddy comedy affects the film industry has come to light. In addition to reinvigorating the Marvel Cinematic Universe for some fans, the Anne Fletcher-directed romantic comedy The Proposal, starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, is rising in popularity. The 2009 comedy, with its 45% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, quickly moved up the Hulu streaming charts to #15 in the U.S. following the release of Marvel’s latest blockbuster. Why? Well, that’s spoiler territory, my friends. If you want the details, read on. If not, see Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters, and then come back and read this article. We know you’re dying to learn the connection. How could you not?

In Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds’s Wade Wilson meets a Deadpool variant named Nicepool, played by his alter ego, Gordon Reynolds. With his silky hair, hypnotic smile, and knack for always seeing a silver lining in any situation, Nicepool tries to join Deadpool in the fourth-wall-breaking fun by addressing the audience and naming a movie outside the context of Deadpool & Wolverine. In the scene, Nicepool looks directly into the camera and, with a knowing grin, says, “The Proposal.”

With those two magical words, The Proposal is given new life on Hulu, thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine!

In The Proposal, Sandra Bullock plays Margaret, a New York editor in danger of being deported back to Canada. In a moment of panic, she convinces her assistant, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), to marry her in return for a promotion. The quid pro quo goes awry when the fake couple visits Andrew’s hometown in Alaska, ultimately changing their relationship unpredictably. Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, and Betty White star in the laugh-out-loud comedy alongside Reynolds and Bullock.

It’s impressive to see what the mere mention of a film can do when Ryan Reynolds is doing the promotion. Audiences can’t help but crumble at the sight of Reynold’s boyish good looks, playful demeanor, and whip-smart sense of humor. Could you imagine if he were a cult leader? We’d all be drinking the Kool-Aid. Oh yeah!

The animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, set in the world of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, ran for five seasons and a total of forty-nine episodes (plus one special) on the Netflix streaming service. It wrapped up back in 2022 – and just a couple of months ago, the first season of the follow-up series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory arrived on Netflix. Viewers who enjoyed that batch of episodes don’t have long to wait to see what happens next, as Netflix has just unveiled a teaser trailer for Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 2, which is set to premiere on October 17th! You can watch the teaser trailer in the embed above.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous told the story of dinosaur fanatic Darius Bowman, who was given the opportunity to visit Camp Cretaceous, an exclusive adventure dinosaur camp on Isla Nublar. Once there, Darius met five other teenagers—Ben, Yaz, Brooklynn, Kenji, and Sammy—who were also chosen for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, when the dinosaurs broke free from their habitats, the campers were stranded and forced to venture across the island without any help in the hopes of finding a way out alive. Picking up six years later, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory takes place after the park has closed, after the kingdom has fallen, and a new era of chaos begins… Members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them. Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.

Season 2 has the following synopsis: With the Nublar Five stowed away on a dinosaur-filled cargo ship headed to parts unknown, their mission to find who is after them sets them on a collision course with the mysterious Broker. Unaware that Brooklynn is alive, the discovery of her whereabouts will call into question everything they thought they knew about each other.

Scott Kreamer, a showrunner on both Jurassic World series, executive produces Chaos Theory with fellow showrunner Aaron Hammersley, as well as Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall. DreamWorks Animation is the animation studio. The series is produced by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment.
