It will all in be in one place, allowing you to catch up on anything you’ve missed without endless searching! Eventually, we’ll also use this space to take a look at what’s hot at the box office and let you know what’s coming to cinemas the following weekend.
I’m shocked! Shocked to hear that Tenet has been delayed again. Warner Bros and Nolan seem determined to get it out this summer but now it’s moved back further, to August 12. That’s now its third release date and in the current climate, there must be a good chance it moves again.
Clearly not wanting to be the first big movie back, Disney has swept Mulan out of July to August 21. For now at least!
The knock-on effect of two of the biggest summer’s movies moving to August is Cineworld and VUE deciding to shift back the opening of their cinemas. After originally planning to resume screenings from July 10 they will now not return until July 31. At the time of writing Odeon is still planning to gradually reopen its cinemas from this weekend. The Empire Strikes Back and The Dark Knight trilogy are amongst the classics on offer.
Disney is setting up a new female-led Pirates of the Caribbean series with Margot Robbie in the leading role. Robbie is also producing, and has Birds of Prey screenwriter Christina Hodson on board. The movie would be set in the same world as those that starred Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, creating a Pirates universe!
Netflix has just shown the Michael Jordan doc The Last Dance to great success. Now, they turn their attention to Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback. He was the first NFL player to kneel during the playing of the national anthem in protest of police brutality during the 2016 season. Just four years earlier he led that team to a Super Bowl but since taking a knee no team has been willing to give him a chance. The six-part scripted series will focus on the stars teenage years and be titled ‘Colin in Black and White’.
Amazon Prime has confirmed that season 2 of The Boys will debut on September 4. It’s a different kind of superhero show and I loved season 1. If you haven’t given a go yet it’s well worth 8 hours of your time, check out our spoiler-free guide for more on the series.
If your local cinema is open this weekend your options are likely to include early 2020 releases 1917, Bloodshot, Onward and Sonic The Hedgehog alongside the classics mentioned earlier.
If you don’t fancy the cinema just get, home entertainment has you covered. You know a US series has gained decent acclaim when the BBC decide to show it here in the UK. On Wednesday, July 8 they will start showing Mrs America, starring Cate Blanchett. The series concerns the political movement to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. Blanchett plays Phyllis Schlafly, who fought against the act.
This weeks trailer is the new teaser for the latest from Pixar, which is always a treat for the soul.
