The Disney Grooming Syndicate had originally planned to release Marvel’s reboot of Blade this year. You won’t believe the madness that has held it up. Actually, you will…
That sucks I enjoyed the original Blade flicks.

Nolte: Another Woke Franchise Dies Prematurely — ‘Fantastic Beasts’
The Fantastic Beasts franchise was supposed to run for five films. After only three, it has been “parked.”
Parked, lol.
When you park something, you STOP, SHUT IT OFF, and WALK AWAY, correct?
Damage Control: Disney Delays Rachel Zegler ‘Snow White‘ to 2025, Releases Image to Prove 7 Dwarves Still in Film
Disney is delaying the release of its live-action remake of Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler, by a full year to 2025 as the studio contends with widespread negative publicity that has surrounded the production in recent months.
Snow White is now slated to open in cinemas March 21, 2025. The big-budget production was previously scheduled for release on March 22, 2024.
Prosecutors seeking to recharge Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting on set of Western movie “Rust”
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Special prosecutors are seeking to recharge actor Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of a Western movie in 2021, describing Tuesday their preparations to present new information to a grand jury.
New Mexico-based prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis said they’ll present their case to the grand jury within the next two months, noting “additional facts” have come to light in the shooting on the set of the film “Rust” that killed Halyna Hutchins.
Judge Orders ‘Rust‘ Producers to Hand Over Documents that Company Fears May Be Used to Prosecute Alec Baldwin
A New Mexico judge has ordered that the producers of the western film Rust hand over documents that counsel fears could be used for further charges against Alec Baldwin, siding with prosecutors who say the film company obstructed the investigation of the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Nolte: Disney’s Woke ‘Little Mermaid’ Bigger Bomb Than Previously Reported
The Disney Grooming Syndicate lost even more money on its woke Little Mermaid remake than had been reported.
Previous budget reports said the movie cost $250 million to produce. The actual budget, per this report at Forbes, was $300 million, which does not include promotion costs.
The only reason we know the truth is because Disney wanted tax credits from the United Kingdom, where much of the movie was filmed, and the UK doesn’t put up with bookkeeping shenanigans the way we do here in America.
Disney Produced the Most Homosexual Content in 2022
The left-wing fascists at GLAAD say Netflix and Disney — Disney! — produced more homosexual content than any other studio. Second place didn’t even come close.
Some of you might not be old enough to remember this, but there was a time when Disney was a brand for children, a brand that protected the innocence of children and did not expose them to adult sexuality or the horrors that come with joining the transgender cult — horrors that include increased suicide rates, genital mutilation, and sterilization.
Nolte: Wall Street Sees ‘Hopeless Economics’ for (Lousy) Streaming Services
“The root problem is that there are too many streaming services. That is creating confusion for consumers and hopeless economics for the companies. Consolidation, whether in the form of mergers, joint ventures or bundles, has to come to the streaming world for the industry to be viable.”
Will Hollywood strike back?
In the Fifties, television destroyed radio, many of whose stars were themselves survivors of the death of vaudeville, and persisted through radio and into film: The Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields. And many of the first movie stars had come first from the music halls, such as Chaplin; Will Rogers became a movie star after his pre-eminence in vaudeville.
For Hollywood Writers, Humans Have Won the Battle Against AI … For Now
NEW YORK (AP) — After a 148-day strike, Hollywood screenwriters secured significant guardrails against the use of artificial intelligence in one of the first major labor battles over generative AI in the workplace.
The writers’ strike is over – but Hollywood’s nightmare is only just beginning
As the old rule of politics has it, one should never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel. And perhaps in the past few months, Hollywood has earned its own, updated version: never start a war of words with anyone who spends all day in front of their laptop. Incredibly, that is what the studios did in May, when they refused to back down in a contract dispute with the Writers’ Guild of America (WGA) – the union which represents the 11,500 screenwriters currently earning a living, or trying to, in the US film and TV business. And even now the bitter 146-day strike which followed is over, only now is the real trouble about to begin.
Hollywood Shut Down for Five Months. Here’s What We’ve Learned.
The WGA has reached a tentative deal, but it’s just a temporary fix.
If you’ve tuned into TV at all in recent months, you may have noticed that most shows sounded rather familiar. Hollywood has been running reruns for five months while writers and actors picketed outside of major studio headquarters. This week, those picket lines may be getting shorter.
Historic Contract Agreement to End 146-Day Writers Strike
Hollywood heaves a sigh of relief. The WGA and major studios and streamers have reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year contract that promises to end the 146-day strike that has taken a heavy toll across the content industry.
But we hadn’t started to miss them yet!
‘Yellowstone‘ Beats Disney, More Popular in Fan Survey of Top Entertainment Franchises
The hit series Yellowstone has handily beaten Disney in a new fan survey of the top entertainment franchises — a notable feat considering the western series starring Kevin Costner is only five years old.
Yellowstone ranked No. 7 in entertainment and gaming company’s Fandom’s annual survey — which polled 5,000 fans — while the Disney brand trailed at No. 10, according to the results reported by Deadline.
No Deal in Sight Between Writers’ Union and Hollywood Studios After Marathon Negations Fail to End the Strike
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood studios and striking screenwriters are resuming negotiations for the second consecutive day Thursday. The talks could potentially put an end to the nearly five-month dispute that has brought many film and television productions to a halt.
