The video game adaptation curse may no longer be a thing, but the batting average of adaptations of video games continues to be less than great. While we got the stellar "Fallout" TV series early this year, we also barely got the biggest bomb of the year with the horrendous "Borderlands" movie. That said, we have finally reached a point where video game adaptations are as varied as video game themselves. Shows like "Arcane" and "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" bring their worlds to life with spectacular visuals (telling original and poignant stories that surpass those from their source material), while "The Last of Us" feels instead like a walkthrough video.
Except, there is one thing a shocking number of video game movies have in common, and they share it with anime. When the first "Minecraft" movie trailer dropped, some viewers were surprised to learn the film is about a group of people...

Dwayne Johnson, the former WWE wrestler turned Hollywood star, has built a reputation for his larger-than-life personality and physique. Standing at an impressive height of 6 feet 5 inches and weighing over 250 pounds, he embodies the perfect image of a tough guy.
It’s no wonder the US Army saw him as the perfect brand ambassador to boost recruitment numbers, which had been dwindling since 2013. In a whopping $11 million deal, the Army hoped that Johnson’s massive following could be enticed to enlist. However, the partnership turned out to be a massive misstep. But it’s not that simple, the inside story reveals a more complex web of contractual errors.

Borderlands is coming home... less than a month after it was released in theaters.
Lionsgate has announced that the star-studded but critically-panned video game adaptation will be available to purchase on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) and Premium Electronic Sell-Through (Est) from this Friday, August 30.
We didn't expect the movie to stay in theaters for too much longer after a disastrous stint at the box office (it grossed just over $24 million with an estimated $120 million budget), but its home release is happening quite a bit sooner than analysts had predicted.
There's always a slim chance the movie will find a new lease of life on Digital and Blu-ray, but between the dismal Bo returns and the similarly awful reviews, it's probably safe to assume that this franchise is well and truly dead in the water.

Based on the action role-playing first-person video game of the same name, set in a space Western science fantasy setting, Borderlands is the newest addition to the heavily saturated video-game adaptation sub-genre. The movie is directed by Eli Roth, a filmmaker famous for his entries into the horror franchise, particularly those of an incredibly gory nature including Hostel and last year’s Thanksgiving. Starring Cate Blanchett (Tar), Kevin Hart (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) and Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Borderlands follows a ragtag team of misfits who embark on a mission to save a missing girl who holds the key to unimaginable power. Despite boasting a competent cast and colorful visuals, Borderlands is severely let down by poor dialogue, an uninteresting story and complete ignorance of the source material.
The success of a video game adaptation largely relies on one thing – how true it stays to the lore of the game.

Lionsgate and director Eli Roth's Borderlands video game adaptation arrives in theaters today on the heels of some of the worst reviews we've seen for a major studio release in quite some time.
As we know, negative reviews don't always have an impact on audience interest, but in this instance, it's probably safe to say that cinemagoers haven't exactly been convinced to give it a shot!
Despite a starry cast and a family-friendly PG-13 rating, the movie took in just $1.3 million from Thursday night previews, and is now tracking to earn between $10M-$18M at the domestic box office over the course of its opening weekend.
International numbers could wind up giving it a bit of a boost, but taking Borderlands' estimated $100M+ budget into account, and we're almost certainly looking at a massive flop here.
It's not all bad news, though, because Borderlands is no longer showing as 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Hollywood has a fascinating relationship to video games. Dating back to "Super Mario Bros." in 1993, studios have understood that the popularity of video games was worth trying to exploit for the sake of silver screen entertainment. Unfortunately, that movie was a disaster that paved the way for decades' worth of similar disasters to follow. It's only in the last handful of years that the video game movie curse has truly started to break, with massive hits such as the animated "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" making waves along with things like "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Detective Pikachu." Still, there are plenty of misses, with Eli Roth's new "Borderlands" movie being met with brutal reviews out of the gate.
With "Borderlands" hitting theaters, it's worth taking a quick look at the state of things. In truth, there just aren't all that many truly great direct movie adaptations of video games,...

During his Acting My Tour last month, Kevin Hart touched on his years-long feud with Michael Jordan, which he first addressed back in 2016. However, this isn’t the lone high-profile beef Hart has found himself in the last ten years, as he also exchanged jabs with Katt Williams.
While it kickstarted back in 2014 when the Norbit star took shots at Hart, things de-escalated between them back in 2016, when Williams came forward to apologize for his comments, However, it didn’t take long for the beef to reignite, and recently, Hart has broken his silence on it.

Central Intelligence was the first film to show how great of a pair Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart are. The film was not the best in terms of script, but the duo’s chemistry did wonders for the film. One of the bloopers from the film was widely shared on the internet, which shows Kevin Hart roasting Dwyane Johnson for his ring name, The Rock.

Chris Van Allsberg's picture book "Jumanji" was first published in 1981, and it quickly became a staple in elementary schools and libraries, read widely and joyously by several generations of kids. The book won a Caldecott medal, and Allsberg would go on to write other children's classics like "The Z Was Zapped," "The Polar Express," and the "Jumanji" sequel "Zathura."
The premise is fun: Two kids, bored at home, find a jungle-adventure-themed board game called Jumanji in their attic. When they play it, however, they find that the dictated events of the game manifest in their house. When the game cards tell them they've run into chimpanzees, chimpanzees appear in their kitchen, and more and more animals begin wreaking havoc as the game progresses. It's only when the game ends that the mayhem ceases.

What better time to drop a Christmas-themed trailer than in the throughs of summer? Today, Amazon MGM Studios gave us the gift of the first Red One trailer, starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans as an odd couple of badasses joining forces to rescue Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons).
The Red One trailer is jam-packed with Christmas-time goodness. Everything from Krampus to mutant killer snowmen makes life difficult for Johnson and Evans as they race against time to locate and rescue Old St Nick. The preview features creative spins on Christmas staples and some Christmas magic.

Now The Rock has a machine gun Christmas movie, ho-ho-ho.
Is it a stretch to say Dwayne Johnson has been in a bit of a slump of late? His return to wrestling earlier this year didn't go over well with WWE fans; his much-ballyhooed plan to change the hierarchy of the DC Universe with "Black Adam" and "DC League of Super-Pets" failed to pan out (but don't tell Johnson that); his Netflix action-comedy "Red Notice" was apparently watched by every single person on the planet yet nobody seems to remember a damn thing about it beyond the alcoholic product placement; and even his mega-expensive "Jungle Cruise" movie was the victim of a bungled hybrid streaming and theatrical release (although the tepid reviews probably didn't help).
Hoping to turn things around, The Rock is joining forces with his "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" and "The Next Level" director Jake Kasdan for "Red One,...

Paramount Pictures and director John Krasinski struck gold in 2018 with the blockbuster horror flick "A Quiet Place." Working from an original concept by screenwriters Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the film became an unexpected smash hit, paving the way for a new franchise that is still going strong. So strong that the studio has decided to offer up a prequel in the form of "A Quiet Place: Day One." With an appealing cast and an interesting hook, it appears as though this is going to break the genre's rough streak at the box office in 2024 to become the year's first major horror hit.
Paramount's "A Quiet Place" prequel is currently eyeing an opening in the $42 to $51 million range when it hits theaters next weekend, per Box Office Theory. That is pretty much in line with early tracking, which had the film taking in $40 million or more, according to Deadline.

Hace unas semanas, A24 publicó el primer vistazo a la esperada película “The Smashing Machine” (AQUÍ), dirigida por Benny Safdie en su debut como director en solitario. La película está protagonizada por Dwayne Johnson ‘La Roca’ (“Jumanji: Bienvenidos a la Jungla”) que está casi irreconocible en la primera imagen de la película y lo mismo ocurre con las nuevas imágenes del actor en el set, publicadas por DailyMail.
En “The Smashing Machine”, actualmente en rodaje, Johnson interpreta a Mark Kerr, el legendario luchador de Mma de la era de la UFC apodado “The Smashing Machine” por su estilo agresivo y dominante en el ring. Kerr se convirtió en un icono del deporte durante los años 90 y principios de los 2000. Sin embargo, su vida fuera del octágono estuvo marcada por una lucha constante con la adicción a los analgésicos y otros problemas personales.

Lionsgate has released the first clip from Eli Roth's adaptation of Gearbox Software and 2K's Borderlands first-person-shooter video game, and it should give fans a pretty good idea of what to expect from the movie's tone.
In this sneak peek, we see the team do their best to keep Claptrap the robot from making too much noise while he "expels lead," but to no avail. After being ambushed by a group of bad guys, Lilith, Roland and Krieg start blasting while the others search for an escape route.
Check out the action-packed clip at the link below along with yesterday's character posters, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Lionsgate released the first trailer for Eli Roth's adaptation of Gearbox Software and 2K's Borderlands first-person-shooter video game back in February, and we now have a look at the movie's villains via a new batch of character posters (via GameFragger.com).
The banners spotlight Benjamin Byron Davis as Marcus, Gina Gershon as Moxxi, Janina Gavankar as Commander Knoxx, Olivier Richters as Krom, Edgar Ramirez as Atlas, Bobby Lee as Larry, and The Crimson Lance, who will likley serve as Stormtrooper-like canon fodder.
It seems each poster contains some sort of Easter egg. We couldn't spot anything, but maybe fans of the games will have more luck.

While Kevin Hart’s action is taking Prime Video’s global top by storm, now dominating in it, the movie is in fact not as good as this hype implies. Die Hart 2: Die Harter is panned for being extremely generic and even a pale copy of all genre’s staples.
Thus, there is a need to satisfy people’s interest in good old action comedy flicks, with 5 of them being enlisted here. They are all must-watches for a good evening chill.
1. Tropic Thunder (2008)
This star-studded hilarious roller coaster of a movie seems to be the main inspiration for Die Hart, but it’s done much better. Ben Stiller’s brilliant film focuses on a group of actors during their attempt to make a Vietnam War film that turns into a failure.

When was the last time a joke had you gasping for air, laughter spilling uncontrollably? In an absolutely cheeky banter, Kai Cenat just gifted Kevin Hart a stepping stool on his livestream (via Instagram)—a gesture that’s sparking conversations louder than a thunderclap in a silent valley.
The jest, which we could actually brand as Cenat’s brutal joke with Hart, has the internet buzzing, hitting harder than Dwayne Johnson’s witty one-liners. As someone who has tracked the pulse of comedy streams, we can affirm that the blend of audacity and humor in Cenat’s prank mirrors what we’ve seen in past collaborations among celebrities.

Whenever one hears Dwayne Johnson’s name, there are a lot of things that come to mind. Smashing villains left, right and center, taking on the unthinkable, and, occasionally, providing comic relief to a story. What you don’t associate him with are roles that receive critical acclaim, a performance that makes the critics sit up and take notice. But The Rock is looking to remedy that with his next movie, The Smashing Machine.
The first look of The Smashing Machine has fans excited

Chris Pratt paid tribute to his late stunt double Tony McFarr in a heartfelt message on social media in which Pratt remembered their time on several movie sets together. McFarr was Pratt’s stunt double on some of the actor’s biggest films, including the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World” franchises. McFarr died May 13 at the age of 47.
“Devastated to hear about the loss of my friend and former stunt double Tony McFarr,” Pratt wrote. “We did several movies together. We golfed, drank whiskey, smoked cigars, and spent endless hours on set. I’ll never forget his toughness. I remember he took a nasty shot to the head (in the title sequence of ‘Guardians 2’) and got several staples in his head came right back to work ready to go again. He was an absolute stud.”
“He was always a gentleman and professional,” Pratt added. “He’ll be missed.

John Cena is one of the most respected and adored figures in Hollywood. He has made a name for himself through various pursuits, being successful as both an actor and a wrestler. He has become iconic in many ways and entered the fabric of popular culture. His acting roles have gained him a completely different type of audience, playing the role of The Peacemaker in the DC Universe, acting in Barbie, being a part of Argylle, and even adorning the skin of Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious series.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently made his grand return to wrestling with the WWE, but the star might be taking his "heel" persona a little too far these days.
There's absolutely nothing unusual in Hollywood when it comes to the delicate art of managing high-profile egos -- just ask Vin Diesel, who knows all too well from his days bumping heads with his famous co-star during the "Fast and Furious" saga -- but things seem to have escalated to a whole new level on the set of Amazon Studios' upcoming Christmas film "Red One." That's the latest scuttlebutt according to extensive reporting by Umberto Gonzalez of The Wrap, who paints an alarming picture of habitual lateness, deeply unprofessional behavior, and producing inexperience in several crucial roles. All of these factors seem to have come together to turn what was initially envisioned as a straight-to-streaming original and a potential franchise starter...

The road to movie stardom for Dwayne Johnson is one of the unlikeliest in recent memory. A third-generation professional wrestler known the world over as “The Rock,” Johnson nabbed a supporting role in 2001’s “The Mummy Returns” and made such an impression that he starred in a successful stand-alone film, “The Scorpion King,” the very next year.
As his film career progressed, it became evident that, despite his success in action films, Johnson had a distinct flair for comedy, which he began to show off in such films as “Be Cool” (2005), “Central Intelligence” (2016), “Moana” (2016) and in his biggest-grossing film, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” (2017). One of the most recent was “Jungle Cruise” (2021) for Disney.
But it’s in high-concept action cinema that Johnson has found his greatest success, especially after hopping aboard the highly lucrative “Fast and Furious” franchise. He even got his own spin-off adventure, “Hobbs & Shaw” (2019), which...

Dwayne Johnson has led a star-studded career in almost every field he has stepped in — be it sports, entertainment, or business. But that success didn’t save him from getting into an incredibly humiliating moment while meeting one of those brilliant actors he most admired and wanted to meet while growing up. This actor was none other than the late beloved legend, Robin Williams.

Luckily enough for him, even before joining the sequel of William’s widely-celebrated Jumanji film from 1995, Johnson managed to run into the iconic comedian for the very first time in his life. But that first meet was so nerve-wracking for the WWE hunk that it eventually ended up as an embarrassing moment for The Rock, with him even terming it “a disaster!”

Kevin Hart has become a popular face in the world of comic actors and is one of the most prolific comedians currently. The actor has entertained audiences over the years with his impeccable comic timing and unique humor.

Dwayne Johnson has been focusing more on his wrestling career with the WWE. Being a part of the board of Tko Group Holdings, the actor and professional wrestler performed his first main event match in years in this year’s WrestleMania 40. His return has been lauded by fans, especially after the event.
While he focuses on WWE again, Johnson’s acting career seems to have taken a backseat. With Johnson’s live-action Moana being postponed by a year, the actor has all the time for new projects in Hollywood, including joining another franchise. The actor was seen shaking hands with Marvel President, Kevin Feige, leading to speculations about a possible appearance in the MCU.

Robin Williams’ 1995 adventure fantasy Jumanji is a favorite to many movie buffs. The film features one of the earliest screen appearances of Kirsten Dunst. However, the filming of Jumanji was not an entirely pleasant experience for the Spider-Man actress. Dunst shared that she was in immense pain while filming the memorable chandelier scene from the Joe Johnston directorial.

The memorable scene in discussion featured the Parrish mansion being flooded with water and Robin Williams and the others climbing a chandelier to save themselves from a crocodile. Kirsten Dunst explained that it was a nightmarish experience for her to film wearing wetsuits. However, her mother came up with an exciting idea to ease her pain.

Before becoming an action superstar in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson made his name in the WWE circuit and went on to become one of the iconic wrestlers of the league. Over the years, The Rock has locked horns with many legendary fighters and has come out on top numerous times to be crowned WWE champion.

But before his match against The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins alongside the Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Johnson had a few words of gratitude and platitude to his fellow competitors and upcoming opponents.
While he may feel like this about his opponents and allies in the upcoming match, people still can’t seem to forget how the star mercilessly beat Rhodes two times in the past with a lifting belt.

Before entering the DC franchise as Black Adam, Dwayne Johnson had many successful action films under his belt. The former WWE champion-turned-actor featured in films like San Andreas and Rampage apart from being a pivotal presence in The Fast and the Furious franchise. However, apart from this popular film series, The Rock’s other films have surprisingly not expanded into sequels.

Johnson’s producing partner Hiram Garcia attempted to explain the reasons behind this back in 2022. It appeared from Garcia’s revelations that The Scorpion King star’s commitment to DC and his character Black Adam could have been the deciding factor behind a film like Rampage not getting the greenlight for a sequel. As fate would have it, Johnson’s long-term desires for DC went up in smoke.

Dwayne Johnson and Tom Cruise are two of the top-billed actors in Hollywood at present. Both actors have become the go-to for action films, and they deliver high-stakes action in every film they appear in.
Cruise and Johnson have had to work hard to get to this point in their careers, and their contribution to the genre cannot be quantified. They each have their own unique traits, and for Cruise, it is his running style. This is why, when their styles were compared, Johnson had to come to his own defense.
