Movies based on video games are earning a lot of buzz (see The Last of Us on HBO and Paramount’s Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves). Apple TV’s Tetris, starring Taron
Egerton (who played Elton John in Rocketman), takes a different route. It’s a political
thriller based on a true story about securing the rights for the block puzzle game, which was developed in this country.
The live-action version of Lilo & Stitch found its stars. While it does feature notable names like Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), who plays Jumba, the remake also welcomes newcomers Maia Kealoha and Kaipo Dudoit, who are Lilo and David, respectively. Meanwhile, Nani will be played by this Kaua‘i starlet who was featured in MidWeek last year.
Robert Downey Jr. has set his sights on remaking Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 psychological thriller Vertigo. But cinephiles will first see him in the $100-million Oppenheimer film, which hits theaters this July. The movie follows the life of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his
contributions that led to the creation of the atomic bomb. It features Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Rami Malek and this actor who wrote and starred alongside Ben Affleck in Good Will
Hunting.
Akeelah and the Bee released in theaters 17 years ago this week. It stars Keke Palmer as an 11-year-old girl who has a knack for spelling and dreams of winning the National Spelling Bee. She receives support from her community as she goes on this journey, especially from her mentor, Dr. Larabee, who is played by this three-time Emmy Award and Tony Award winning actor, most known for his role as Morpheus in The Matrix franchise.
