Moana’s Live-Action Trailer Confirms Disney Is Doubling Down on Its Most Hated Remake Trend

by

The trailer for the live-action Moana relies heavily on computer-generated effects, leading some to wonder if it even qualifies as live-action. Plus, it closely copies scenes from the original animated movie, making it hard to tell the difference between the two versions. Instead of generating excitement, this has left many Disney fans questioning the need for a live-action remake, though most still expect it to be a big hit, similar to the projected success of the 2025 Lilo & Stitch film.

Glenn Close on Kim Kardashian’s All’s Fair Acting: ‘She Always Knew Her Lines’

by

Even though the Hulu show has received harsh criticism, Glenn Close doesn’t believe it’s due to the Kardashians’ abilities. She points out that the family themselves would admit not everyone is a fan, and that they have a strong public image. Close also feels critics judged the show too quickly, only watching the initial episodes. She thinks the first three episodes were the weakest and created a difficult first impression, but believes the entire nine-episode series ultimately comes together. While the show has mainly sparked a dedicated online fandom after five episodes, viewers are still tuning in to see how it unfolds.

New ‘Star Trek’ Movie Could End the Franchise’s Modern Era

by

As a huge Star Trek fan, I’ve been following Alex Kurtzman’s work with the franchise since J.J. Abrams’ 2009 film. He’s been a really central figure ever since, and his production company, Secret Hideout (founded in 2014), has been behind every Star Trek show starting with Discovery. I was reading on TrekCentral that their deal with Paramount is up in 2026, and people are wondering if it will be renewed. If not, it could mean a big shift in direction for the upcoming Star Trek movie – though honestly, things were already heading towards some changes anyway.
