Angelina Jolie’s Next Movie Will Break An 8-Year Record After A Run Of Critical & Commercial Misfires


Angelina Jolie has had a run of poorly performing movies in the last 8 years. Her next film is set to catapult her back into superstardom.
Even as an A-list star, Angelina Jolie has had a run of critical and commercial misfires over the last eight years, but her next movie can break the streak. Unlike some of her contemporaries, Jolie sometimes only makes two movies a year, or even one a year, preferring to balance her acting career with philanthropic endeavors and familial obligations. This means that when Jolie has a new movie coming out, fans and critics take notice, but within the span of the last decade, the vast majority of the projects she’s starred in or directed have underperformed.

Jolie’s best movies prove that she’s never been one to play it safe with her career, but after appearing in dramas like Girl, Interrupted (for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress), action movies like Tomb Raider, Salt, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and fantasy films like the Maleficent movies, she can be selective with what movies receive her time and energy. That doesn’t mean that what she appears in will be a hit, even as one of the highest-paid actresses of her generation. Jolie’s next film will undoubtedly align her interests with critics and fans and give her the comeback she deserves.
Angelina Jolie Has Had A Poor Run Of Movies (Either With Critics Or At The Box Office)

In the last eight years, Jolie has had a poor run of films with critics and at the box office despite working with some of the best creative talent in the business. Maleficent 2: Mistress of All Evil in 2019 was a success, but not as lucrative as the first film in the franchise, and in 2020, family-oriented fantasy films Come Away and The One and Only Ivan massively underperformed. She had two releases in 2021, Taylor Sheridan’s Those Who Wish Me Dead, in which she played an intrepid fire watcher, and Eternals, an ensemble superhero flop for the MCU, that both failed to excite fans and critics.
Jolie gives as committed and energetic performances as ever in each of these films, but the writing, pacing, and in some cases, over-saturation of the market worked against her. Jolie has always been a dynamic screen presence who has the propensity to outshine the material she’s given, which doesn’t seem to bother the actress if the projects she works on inevitably end up funding her numerous charitable causes. Fans can look forward to several movies in the future that will make the most of her charisma and vigor.

Kung Fu Panda 4 Will Likely Be Angelina Jolie’s Biggest Box Office Hit Since 2016
Kung Fu Panda 4, which will be released in 2024, marks Angelina Jolie’s biggest box office hit since Kung Fu Panda 3 in 2016. Given how well the third installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise performed at the box office, the fourth film will undoubtedly be just as successful. In fact, it may even outdo the third film due to the 8-year gap, and because the franchise, like Shrek, Toy Story, or How to Train Your Dragon is a beloved series of animated films that have been going strong for over a decade.

Between Kung Fu Panda and Kung Fu Panda 3, Jolie’s character, Tigress, also appeared in shorter videos and holiday specials like Kung Fu Panda Holiday, Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, and Kung Fu Panda Po’s Winter Wonderland. These smaller spinoffs kept the franchise alive in fans’ minds but also made it ubiquitous, whereas releasing a new film all these years later will make it feel special. Jolie is rejoined by the original cast including Jack Black as Po, Seth Rogen as Mantis, Jackie Chan as Monkey, and Dustin Hoffman as Rat.
Kung Fu Panda 4 Can Begin Angelina Jolie’s Movie Comeback
Kung Fu Panda 4 will be Jolie’s first new release in three years, and it’s poised to kickstart her movie comeback. In addition to that movie, Jolie currently has 4 other projects in various stages of development: Maude vs Maude, Maleficent 3, Maria, and Every Note Played. No doubt her most highly anticipated film, Maria will be a biopic that focuses on famous opera singer and diva Maria Callas during her final days in Paris in the ’70s, and promises to be Jolie’s most intimate and stirring dramatic role yet.
Balancing commercially successful movies with personally fulfilling ones has always been her prerogative as one of the most charismatic and dynamic actresses in Hollywood. Jolie has always marched to the beat of her own drum when it comes to the projects she works on and the creative choices she makes as an artist, and the popularity of Kung Fu Panda 4 will hopefully lend credence to the more risky films on her docket. Fans can look forward to a real Angelina Jolie renaissance in the years to come.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
