The sudden loss of Jaclyn Jose saddened the Philippine Entertainment Industry. The cause of death was a heart attack. Jaclyn Jose, born as Mary Jane Santa Ana Guck, received international acclaim when she won Best Actress in Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first ever Filipino to receive it.
She starred famously in the Batang Quiapo drama series as the antagonist Dolores Espinas. Even before, she played antagonist roles convincingly well. Her family found her in her Quezon City home March 3, 2024. The family has stated they will share details soon, and is requesting privacy during their time of grief.

One of the best-selling games to ever hit the markets is finally getting a film adaptation.
The game, originally by game studio Gearbox, is a fast-paced, comedy–laden, FPS game. The game centers around completing missions and obtaining powerful loot, in addition to-exploring Pandora.
While the game has an open-world style due to its RPG mechanics, it presents challenges to producers wanting to adapt it perfectly into the big screen. However, the minds behind the plot for the Borderlands film could be taking liberties with each character’s uniqueness.

Some big names were cast for the film. We’ve all seen Cate Blanchett as Hela in the MCU. This time, she will be taking the role of Lilith. In addition to Blanchett, Jack Black will be voicing the annoying, but entertaining robot Claptrap, Jamie Lee Curtis will play Tannis the scientist and more.
Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Ramírez), the universe’s most powerful S.O.B. Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits – Roland (Hart), a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound protector; Tannis (Curtis), the oddball scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap (Black), a wiseass robot. Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling videogame franchises of all time, welcome to BORDERLANDS.
Borderlands will premiere this year by late August.
In a recent Instagram post, Diesel shared an update after a meeting with the writers and team, describing the atmosphere as “incredibly powerful” and the excitement for the “grand finale” as “an understatement.”
This news comes after Diesel previously announced “Fast X” would be the final chapter in the saga, but it seems plans have shifted. While “Fast X” will likely tie up loose ends, Diesel assures fans that the sequel will be more than just an ending: “This grand finale is not just an ending; it’s a celebration of the incredible family we’ve built together.”
The post also expressed gratitude to the dedicated fanbase, acknowledging their role in shaping the franchise’s success: “Thank you for being the backbone of this global saga that because of you, transcends the screen.”
While specific plot details remain under wraps, Diesel’s enthusiasm hints at an epic conclusion that will honor the “Fast & Furious” legacy. The sequel, currently untitled, is slated for release on April 4, 2025, directed by Louis Leterrier (“The Transporter”).
This update is sure to ignite speculation among fans, with questions swirling about returning cast members, potential storylines, and the level of over-the-top action the finale will bring. With “Fast X” hitting theaters in May 2023, the wait for the grand conclusion might feel like an eternity, but Diesel’s words promise a thrilling ride worth waiting for. Get ready to say goodbye – or maybe just see you later – to Dom, Letty, and the rest of the “Fast & Furious” family in what promises to be an explosive farewell.
Disney just dropped a new trailer for its newest animated series Iwaju. Set in a futuristic Lagos, Nigeria, the animated series will explore themes of class divide and inequality.
Watch the trailer below:
The trailer reveals a young girl named Tola and her cyborg critter pet Otin. Otin is an Agama lizard, also called a rainbow lizard for their striking color patterns. Tola’s new cyber friend will be a hero of sorts as it becomes Tola’s protector.
Important to point out though: Disney did not animate Iwaju. The series is a collaboration between Britain-based company Kugali Media and Disney+. African artists, who comprise a majority of Kugali media, founded the company with the goal of telling African stories through animation and media.
Iwájú Series Poster
Iwaju’s creator, Ziki Nelson, takes inspiration from Lagos being a melting pot of cultures in Africa, and says that the city has a “distinct feel”.
Madame Web is the latest “addition” to Sony’s Spider-verse. The Spiderman film franchise has been hugely successful thanks to amazing leads like Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland.
However, it looks like not even Dakota Johnson’s acting skills can wrap the movie up nicely. We know Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steel sold the Fifty shades fantasy well. Her personality bleeds into Anastasia Steele and she sets up the submissive role perfectly.
Additionally, Dakota Johnson’s dry humor is what makes her likable in interviews.
Madame Web Trailer
So why do audiences and film critics not like the latest Spider-verse “addition”?
To start, the trailer revealed a voice over by Cassandra Webb (Dakota Johnson) that wasn’t even in the film. While some audiences may not care about this minor detail, it could have been useful to include it. Especially since the antagonist had a major role to play on how Cassandra came to be.
There were some awkward lines in the movie as well that deserve a meme comparable to Anakin’s in George Lucas’ Star Wars. Anakin’s “I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.” is similar to “Hope the spiders were worth it, Mom.” In fact, the line has become a meme commodity for the internet.
Madame Web Film Poster
So bad dialogue aside, the directing also contributes to the film’s meme-worthiness. S.J. Clarkson did work on some episodes of successful series like Dexter, House, and Heroes. The director also worked on a Game of Thrones prequel entitled Bloodmoon, however, HBO didn’t air it. Most of these series have a tone vastly different from that of a superhero movie, and that’s probably the reason why Madame Webb just didn’t work.
While Madame Web is spinning out of control, one could wonder if the film’s meme status could reclaim it. Although it’s not a main Spiderman arc, Madame Web should be a solid reminder not to approach superhero movies the way Sony did Morbius.
From Marvel.com
For all intents and purposes, the movie is not a main continuity movie. For some film-goers, they eventually might grow to love Madame Web as its stand-alone film. Dakota Fanning does say we’ll love it and we’re going to see it twice.
Marvel Studios officially confirmed the cast for the Fantastic Four reboot; Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. Marvel’s announcement was made in a tweet accompanied by an artwork of the Fantastic Four that resembles the casts face.
Happy Valentine’s Day from Marvel’s First Family! Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn are The Fantastic Four.
While no director has been officially announced, Matt Shakman was initially in talks for the role, confirmed at D23 in September 2023. The same month, Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer were hired as writers for the film. By March 2023, Josh Friedman was hired to rewrite the script.
The film is scheduled to be released on July 25, 2025, but aside from the main cast and the film’s release specific plot details remain under wraps and we can just speculate based on the existing comic book history and their potential integration into the wider MCU.
Netflix just release the official trailer of Damsel, the streaming giant’s fantasy film featuring Millie Bobby Brown for the lead role.
The premise of the film may have already spoiled the film but what the trailer (embedded below) shows us is that it’ll be filled with action sequences, sword fights and lots of special effects, not to mentions all those beautiful scenery.
A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, she must rely on her wits and will to survive. Millie Bobby Brown stars in Damsel.

Damsel is directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and written by Dan Mazeau.
Below are the casts of the film;
Millie Bobby Brown as Princess Elodie
Angela Bassett as Lady Bayford, Elodie’s stepmother
Robin Wright as Queen Isabelle
Ray Winstone as the King
Nick Robinson as Prince Henry

Damsel will be premiere on Netflix this 8th of March.
For viewers who haven’t seen the musical, this is their chance to see the world of Oz and Emerald City. This time, Dorothy is not the main focus (or is she?). The film offers a more personal view of Emerald City’s characters and their relationship. Elpheba, who is traditionally known as the Wicked Witch of the West, is getting a spotlight in this film as the focus shifts away from the classical protagonist and more into her personal journey.
The trailer also revealed big personalities. While Ariana Grande plays Glinda, much of the singing comes from other vocalists. Jeff Goldblum (Thor: Ragnarok) will play the sinister Wizard of Oz and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Madame Morrible.
In addition to the spectacular cast, the teaser also shows intricate major set design which would be a feast for the eyes. In comparison to the Broadway Musical, the film fleshes out the environment of Oz in greater detail. Some glimpses in the trailer also showed iconic objects from the World of Oz, including the iconic ruby slippers Dorothy receives from Glinda.
Wicked will be the first of a two-part film. However, viewers will still have no clue of how the story is cut. The film is an adaptation of a musical adaptation. This musical adaptation draws inspiration from the 1995 novel “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” written by Gregory Maguire.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
20th Century Studios just release the official trailer of the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The film will serve as the sequel to the to War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) and is the fourth installment in the Planet of the Apes reboot franchise.
Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is directed by Wes Ball from a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Patrick Aison, and produced by Joe Hartwick Jr., Jaffa, Silver, and Jason Reed. The film stars Owen Teague in the lead role alongside Freya Allan, Kevin Durand, Peter Macon, and William H. Macy.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is scheduled to hit the big screen on May 10th.
Marvel Studios just released the teaser trailer for “Deadpool 3: Deadpool & Wolverine.” After mixed critical reception for some Phase 4 and early Phase 5 films, the “Deadpool & Wolverine” project presents itself as a potential breath of fresh air and the film the MCU might need to reinvigorate itself. It could also pave the way for full introduction of mutants, the X-Men, and other Marvel properties.
From the trailer itself, we get to see that the Time Variance Authority (TVA) will be featured in the film, which means that Deadpool and in some capacity, Wolverine will have the ability to go to different Marvel timeline and change the course of that particular timeline be it the past, present and future. Just imagine, the duo joining the avengers with their fight against Ultron or Thanos, or Deadpool snatching the Nano Gauntlet from Tony Stark and the one snapping his fingers. That will surely “change the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe”.
Until we watch the fholeIt’s unclear which timeline the duo will “mess-up” and how but one thing is for sure, as the premise of the film goes “Deadpool will change the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Wolverine.”
Deadpool & Wolverine is the 3rd Deadpool film and first under Disney/Marvel Studios. It is directed by Shawn Levy, who also directed a number of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman films like Free Guy, the Adam Project and Real Steel. Deadpool & Wolverine is written by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. The film will star Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their role as Deadpool and Wolverine, respectively, alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen. Aaron Stanford will also returns as Pyro, from the X-Men films and Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios.
The duo we’ve all been waiting for in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is out!
Marvel Entertainment has released an official teaser for the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine.
Watch the trailer below;
In the teaser video, it shows Wade Wilson’s birthday party and his subsequent abduction by the TVA. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would know that the organization was officially introduced in Disney’s limited series Loki.
The teaser also reveals Wolverine, however, it’s not positive if this iteration of Wolverine is the X-Men version from Fox Studios. Disney’s acquisition of Fox gives them rights over the X-Men characters, so this should not be an issue.
Deadpool 3: Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Poster

Supporting cast members also include: Matthew Macfadyen as Mobius, Karan Soni as Wade’s driver, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, and more.

Here is the premise of the film;
After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
The film will be directed by Dave Derrick Jr. with music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina. No word yet on who voice-cast are but it’s safe to say that Auliʻi Cravalho (Moana) and Dwayne Johnson (Maui) will be returning to reprise their role.

Kingsman fans have a reason to celebrate as a potential crossover between Argylle and Kingsman might not be too far off.
Movie goers who stayed behind will enjoy a Marvel-esque scene bonus. When the credits roll, it’s interrupted by a flashback 20 years ago. Shown in the mid-credits is a young Aubrey Argylle entering what looks like a bar from the Kingsman movie.
Just after the Kingsman reveal, the customer orders a “cosmopolitan with a twist”. While the barkeeper and the young Aubrey exchange codewords, the former hands him a box with a weapon.
In an interview with Yahoo UK, Director Matthew Vaughn stated that he wanted the movies to intersect. Consequentially, the crossover was a possibility as MARV Studios produced the two films.
Theory-crafters are also insisting similarities between Elly Conway’s cat to the pop singer’s Scottish Fold. However, Matthew Vaughn clarified that Elly Conway is not Taylor Swift.
Spoilers ahead: Argylle’s plot revolves around introverted spy novelist Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World).
Foundationally, the story focuses on how Elly survives a deadly game of spies and assassins as she discovers that her stories coincide with real-life events.
Some big names were cast for Argylle – Henry Cavill (Superman, The Witcher), John Cena, Dua Lipa, Samuel Jackson (Avengers), and Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), just to name a few.
The director hasn’t overtly stated a shared cinematic universe for the two movies. However, former Kingsman: The Secret Service cast member Sofia Boutella makes an appearance in the film. The actress’ appearance contributes to reinforcing the idea that there is indeed a shared spy universe.

Gru is back with his league of yellow minions and their misadventures in Despicable Me 4. Watch the trailer below.
In this new installment of the Despicable Me franchise, Gru has settled down with Anti-Villain League agent Lucy Wilde. The trailer reveals the fan-favorite minions, and sisters Agnes, Edith, and Margot. The newest addition to the family is Gru’s baby, aptly named Gru Jr.
The family is on the run as new enemies come back for revenge. Voice actors Joey King and Sofia Vergara take on the role of Maxime and Valentina as the antagonists. The duo will pursue the Gru family relentlessly on their quest for payback.
The heinous but comical protagonist will be facing off similarly evil grandmothers and a badger with a penchant for violence, all the while demonstrating to his son the works of a supervillain.
Steve Carell (The Office, The 40-year-Old Virgin) plays the voice actor for Gru, a villain turned family man for three kids. Actress and SNL comedian Kristen Wiig voices Lucy Wilde.
The movie will premiere in theaters on July 3, 2024.
Sofa Vergara’s new Netflix Series Griselda follows the story of a Colombian woman who comes to the United States as she leads her double life as the Godmother of Cocaine and a mother to three kids.
Sounds cliche? The big twist is that this series is based on a much darker story. Griselda Blanco did exist, and her family still lives
Griselda Blanco’s journey from Colombia wasn’t easy – she grew up in an extremely abusive household. There are accounts of her by an outdated Britannica. The encyclopedia purportedly showed that she helped in a kidnapping when she was just 11 years old.
The big screen has featured the infamous Colombian drug leader before. Catherine-Zeta Jones’ portrayal in the movie Cocaine Godmother (2017) received praise amidst a rushed plot and a few factual inconsistencies.
In the exclusive interview with Sofia Vergara by Entertainment Tonight, the actress spoke about snorting fake cocaine, aside from her unrecognizable transformation.
The Blanco family has filed legal action to stop the release of the series, to which the director responded “lightheartedly”.
Tina Fey is back with a new spin on the popular teen comedy movie. This time, Cady Heron, the role formerly held previously by Lindsay Lohan, will be taking on “new” friends and enemies.
In this remake of a musical remake of the film, Angourie Rice (Every Day, Honor Society) will take on Lindsay’s mantle as she goes through the hellscape of high school, aptly represented by a trio of ladies called “The Plastics”.
Fey’s new take on the film is a combination of the Tony nominated Broadway musical and the first film. The comedian-actress who also worked as SNL’s senior writer aims to capture the popularity of the first movie. In a separate interview, she talks about how she approached Paramount and their initial disbelief to her pitch.
Fey further elaborates that the movie isn’t purely comical, and that there will be moments the audience can connect to the characters.
Tina Fey also makes an appearance in the movie. Mean Girls Revenge Party is streaming on Netflix.
Here’s something for fans of the Mandalorian & Grogu, since the duo will be shifting from being a series in our TV and mobile devices to the movie theaters. The Mandalorian & Grogu Film will be directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into production in 2024.
“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” said Favreau. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.”
“Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen,” added Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
Aside from the planned “The Mandalorian & Grogu” film, Lucas films previously announced the development of new film that will follow Rey (Daisy Ridley) as she attempts to rebuild the Jedi Order following the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”
All three seasons of “The Mandalorian” can be streamed on Disney Plus.

Sony just release the teaser trailer of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and for at least 100 seconds, you’d think that the trailer is about a superhero film, since the video features an unseen villain with the power to freeze anything including the power to create ice spikes that’s so strong that it can pierce thru a car and even lift it atleast 4 feet off the ground.
