The Batman II was slated to be released on October 3, 2025, but that didn’t happen. So Warner Bros rescheduled to October 1, 2027, and that is not happening. So, today they announced that the Robert Pattinson version of The Caped Crusader will fly into theaters on February 18, 2028. Will the third time be the charm? We will find out in 19 months. That is if we still care. Do we?
In 1977, a little movie called Rocky won three Oscars, including Best Picture. With that, its role in Hollywood history was solidified.
And the making of the film had a fighting history of its own. Therefore, 50 years after its release, its story is being told in I Play Rocky.
The film is an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told “no” at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.
After watching the trailer, I am wondering if this biopic could do the same. And can Anthony Ippolito do what Sylvester Stallone did not, and win the statuette for Best Actor?
Andrew Lloyd Webber reimagined his long-running show Cats as Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and it was not catnip to audiences. Therefore, it is closing early.
The show was expected to stay open until January, but instead it is crossing over to the Rainbow Bridge on August 8th, according to Broadway.com.
Winning three out of the nine Tonys it was nominated for was not enough to get it to make it until the Fall.
Personally, I am not surprised its run is ending early. Cats sucked. Why did anyone think a reimagining would do any better?
