  • Petition Demanding Johnny Depp’s Return as Jack Sparrow Nears 300,000

    Petition Demanding Johnny Depp’s Return as Jack Sparrow Nears 300,000

    After Johnny Depp lost his libel court case against a British newspaper that called him a “wife beater,” reports surfaced claiming that Disney was backing away from the actor, but now fans have started a petition calling for his return to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.

    A petition posted on change.org titled “We want JOHNNY DEPP back as CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW has been signed by over 250,000 as it heads towards its goal of at least 300,000.

    “Johnny Depp has been out recently as Captain Jack Sparrow. One of the reasons is his personal issues as well,” the petition reads.

    It continues: “He has been playing this role since 2003 when we first saw him arriving at the Port Royal in his boat with that epic background music playing.

    “But can you imagine someone else portraying this instead of him? Or no Jack Sparrow at all?”

    The petition goes on to say that without Depp’s Sparrow the Pirates franchise is a sunken ship.

  • Disney Reportedly Cutting Ties with Johnny Depp After ‘Wife Beater’ Libel Case Loss

    Disney Reportedly Cutting Ties with Johnny Depp After ‘Wife Beater’ Libel Case Loss

    Disney is backing away from Johnny Depp and is no longer considering him for any part of a potential “Pirates of the Caribbean” reboot after the actor lost lost his libel court case against a British newspaper that called him a “wife beater”, according to reports.

    On Monday, the UK’s High Court ruled in the publisher’s favor which claimed there was “overwhelming evidence” that he had assaulted the actress Amber Heard repeatedly during their marriage.

    “The House of Mouse is reportedly no longer interested in bringing back the embattled actor in any capacity when it comes to the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise,” according to WGTC.

    Depp sued News Group Newspapers and Dan Wootton — The Sun’s executive editor — over an article that claimed the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was violent toward Heard while they were together.

    Citing evidence, including photos, audio recordings and Depp’s own text messages, lawyers for the newspaper group argued in court filings that Depp “beat his wife Amber Heard, causing her to suffer significant injury, and on occasion leading to her fearing for her life.”

    Depp had admitted long-term problems with drugs and alcohol during the trial but said the tabloid’s claims that he was violent toward Heard were “completely untrue.”

    However, Judge Andrew Nicol said in his 129-page judgment Monday that the paper’s claims had been shown to be “substantially true.”

    In a statement, Depp’s law firm, Schillings, indicated he would contest the ruling, saying “the judgment is so flawed that it would be ridiculous for Mr Depp not to appeal this decision.”

  • Disney Releases First Trailer for ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’

    Disney Releases First Trailer for ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’

    Disney has released the first trailer for its action-packed animated film Raya and the Last Dragon and it is action packed.

    Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Raya and the Last Dragon features Kelly Marie Tran as the voice of Raya, a lone warrior whose mission is to track down the legendary last dragon in a bid to save Kumandra and unite its lands.

    “However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world — it’s going to take trust as well,” the film’s description reads. Take a look at the trailer below:

    Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when an evil force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than a dragon to save the world—it’s going to take trust and teamwork as well.

    The film is directed by Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada, and it was written by Qui Nguyen and Adele Lim. The film will release in theaters on March 12, 2021.

  • Disney Reportedly Looking to Cast Robert Downey Jr. in Star Wars Film

    Disney Reportedly Looking to Cast Robert Downey Jr. in Star Wars Film

    Academy Award winning actor Robert Downey Jr. — who brought Tony Stark to life in the MCU — may be headed to a galaxy far far away as a new rumor reports that Disney is eyeing him for a role in the Star Wars universe.

    Details on what role he may be wanted and it’s not clear whether they’d want him for a television series or a feature film, but who wouldn’t love to see the 55 year-old Tony Stark actor wielding a lightsaber?

    “According to insider Daniel Richtman, the House of Mouse is reportedly eying Downey Jr. for a role in Star Wars. The tipster doesn’t say which project it would be for, but if this deal ends up happening, the performer will journey from one historic franchise to another,” WGTC reported.

    It’s estimated that Robert Downey, Jr. has made nearly $250 million from his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That is an astounding career reversal for an actor who started off as a young prodigy, went through a whirlwind of drugs and eventual prison time, and is now reportedly one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood.

    He got attention for roles in his early 20s like Weird Science (1985) and Back To School (1986). During this period, critic Roger Ebert described his performance as an addict in 1987’s Less Than Zero as “so real, so subtle, and so observant that it’s scary.”

  • ‘Space Mountain’ Live-Action Movie in the Works at Disney

    ‘Space Mountain’ Live-Action Movie in the Works at Disney

    Continuing Disney’s trend of turning classic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise into blockbuster movie franchises Disney is now developing a live-action Space Mountain movie.

    Space Mountain is an indoor rollercoaster in the dark based on Jules Verne’s 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon. The ride first landed at Disney’s Florida theme park, Walt Disney World Resort, in 1975. Two years later, the ride was implemented at California’s Disneyland.

    Logline details for the project, which is still in the early stages, are being kept under wraps, but it is described as a family adventure and is intended for theatrical release.

    Helming the project as producer and writer is Joby Harold — who is also currently writing and executive producing the upcoming Obi-wan Kenobi series for Disney+ — and his wife, Tory Tunnell, who is producing the film under their shared company, Safehouse Pictures.

  • Pixar’s Soul Releasing on Disney+ Without Mulan’s Premier Access Fee

    Pixar’s Soul Releasing on Disney+ Without Mulan’s Premier Access Fee

    Christmas Day moviegoers may be disappointed with a lack of theater options this year, but Disney Plus subscribers have something to look forward to. Disney announced that Pixar’s Soul is skipping theaters and will debut exclusively on Disney Plus in time for Christmas.

    Unlike Mulan, which required subscribers to pay an additional $29.99 on top of their monthly fee to access the movie, Pixar’s Soul will exclusively join the Disney+ library starting December 25.

    The comedy, which was previously scheduled for a June release before being postponed to November amid the coronavirus pandemic, stars the voice talents of Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey, Phylicia Rashad, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Angela Bassett and Daveed Diggs, as well as, original jazz music by globally renowned musician Jon Batiste. Take a look at the tweet from Disney Plus below:

    “We are thrilled to share Pixar’s spectacular and moving ‘Soul’ with audiences direct to Disney+ in December,” said Bob Chapek, chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company. “A new original Pixar film is always a special occasion, and this truly heartwarming and humorous story about human connection and finding one’s place in the world will be a treat for families to enjoy together this holiday season.”

    “Soul” concerns Joe, a middle-school band teacher, whose true passion is playing jazz, and who gets his dream gig moments before he dies. Take a look at the trailer below:

    The trailer opens with Joe asking, “What would you want to be known for on Earth?” A montage follows that shows people in their everyday lives, including commuting in a busy city and working jobs like a doctor, barber and hedge fund manager. “We only have a short time on this planet. You wanna become the person that you were born to be? Don’t waste your time on all the junk of life,” Joe continues in a voiceover.

    On his journey to get back to his own body, Joe meets Tina Fey‘s 22, a soul who can’t stand humans but helps Joe on his mission across the cosmos. Other characters are voiced by Blindspotting‘s Daveed Diggs, The Cosby Show‘s Phylicia Rashad, and The Roots drummer Questlove.

    “The world can be an exhausting and frustrating place – but it’s also full of unexpected joys, even in seemingly mundane things,” said Pete Docter, director of Soul and Chief Creative Officer of Pixar Animation Studios. “Soul investigates what’s really important in our lives, a question we’re all asking these days. I hope it will bring some humor and fun to people at a time when everyone can surely use that.”

    Soul will get a theatrical release in those foreign territories where Disney+ isn’t available.
