IMAX has released the official IMAX poster for “Rogue One: A Story Wars Story”.
It’s a nice poster but The Death Star is way too white and bright that you barely notice it.
“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” opens in IMAX theaters, and all theaters, on December 16th.
When the trailer for Disney’s “Beauty And The Beast” came out this week, a lot of people were happy to see their favorite scenes from the animated classic come to life with the live action adaption of “Beauty And The Beast”. But just how close where they to the original animated film? We have painstakingly gone through both movies to find as many matching scenes as we can. Let’s take a look!
The newest Disney animated classic to get the live action treatment is the one that started it all, “Snow White”.
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
Disney is ready to take on another of its classic fairytales with a new musical, live-action version of Snow White.
Erin Cressida Wilson, who penned the adaptation of The Girl on the Train, is in negotiations to write the script for the film, which will expand upon the story and music from the beloved animated classic.
The movie will include new songs, with songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who most recently wrote the lyrics for La La Land, attached to pen the new music.
Marc Platt, who also is working with Disney on Mary Poppins Returns, is attached to produce.
After the overwhelming positive response from what we have seen so far with Disney’s live action “Beauty And The Beast”, I would expect Disney to make a more faithful adaption to their own original animated classic. So dont expect another “Mirror Mirror” or “Snow White And The Huntsman”

Production for Disney’s upcoming epic, live-action adventure “A Wrinkle in Time” kicks off today in Los Angeles starring Oprah Winfrey (“Selma”, “The Butler”) as Mrs. Which, Reese Witherspoon (“Wild, “Walk the Line”) as Mrs. Whatsit, Mindy Kaling (“The Mindy Project,” “Inside Out”) as Mrs. Who, Chris Pine (“Star Trek Beyond,” “Hell or High Water,” “Into the Woods”) as Mr. Murry, Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“Beauty and The Beast,” “Belle”) as Mrs. Murry, Zach Galifianakis (“Birdman,” “ The Hangover,”) as The Happy Medium, André Holland (“Moonlight,” “Selma”) as Principal Jenkins, Levi Miller (“Pan”) as Calvin, Deric McCabe as Charles Wallace, and introducing Storm Reid as the iconic literary character Meg Murry.
Bellamy Young, Rowan Blanchard and Will McCormack round out the highly acclaimed cast.
Directed by Ava DuVernay (“13th,” “Selma”), the film is a reimagining of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel that takes Meg Murry, her brilliant brother Charles Wallace and their friend Calvin on an unexpected journey into alternate dimensions on a mission to bring home their father.
“Since Day One, this experience has shimmered with the promise and possibility, the passion and power that only great stories offer,” said DuVernay. “And Madeline L’Engle’s book is a great story indeed. A cool, quirky tale of an imperfect girl on an otherworldly expedition that has been praised and banned, dissected and celebrated the world over for more than 50 years. On behalf of all the filmmakers, artists and craftspeople in our ‘Wrinkle in Time’ family, we are genuinely thrilled by and truly grateful for the opportunity to make this film together.”
First published in 1962, L’Engle’s novel has sold more than 23 million copies worldwide, receiving a recent surge following Chelsea Clinton’s mention during the Democratic National Convention. Winner of the Newbery Prize in 1963, “A Wrinkle in Time” has been translated into 35 languages.
“A Wrinkle in Time” builds on Disney’s strong track record of reimagining classic stories for a contemporary audience, with recent examples including “The Jungle Book,” “Maleficent” and the upcoming “Beauty and the Beast.”
Directed by DuVernay, the film is produced by Jim Whitaker (“Pete’s Dragon”) and Catherine Hand from a script written by Jennifer Lee (“Frozen”). Principal photography will take place primarily in California with two weeks of production in New Zealand.
Ava DuVernay’s creative team also includes director of photography Tobias A. Schliessler (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Mr. Holmes”), production designer Naomi Shohan (“Training Day,” “American Beauty,”), costume designer Paco Delgado (“The Danish Girl,” “Les Miserables”) and visual effects supervisor Rich McBride (“The Revenant,” “Gravity”).
This week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive look at Disney’s live action “Beauty And The Beast”. EW also has provided us with some amazing images of Belle (Emma Watson), Beast/Prince Adam (Dan Stevens), Gaston (Luke Evans), Le Fou (Josh Gad), Lumiere (Ewan McGregor), Cogswoth (Ian McKellen), Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson) and Maurice (Kevin Kline).
