As a film buff, I’ve always known music rights can be a real headache – and a major expense! Think about how much it cost to use ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles in the movie of the same name. Recently, producer Marc Beckman talked about a similar situation with Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, who wasn’t happy about his score from ‘The Phantom Thread’ being used in a documentary.

According to Variety, Disney is happy with the early footage of Avengers: Doomsday. Other studio leaders are quietly forecasting that the 2026 Marvel crossover film will likely be the biggest box office hit of that year.

Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film for Amazon MGM Studios. The announcement came after Amazon gained complete creative control of the Bond franchise from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson in June 2025.

Horror movies are famous for their scary lines and screams, but only a handful of quotes have really stuck with audiences. These lines are so well-known that they often pop up in everyday conversations. Horror fans instantly recognize them, and they’ll likely remain popular for a long time.

The initial details for the new Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day, reveal that it’s set four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Since No Way Home happened in 2024, following Far From Home (where Peter Parker’s identity was exposed), the new film will likely take place around 2028.
