The Thor: Ragnarok and Hunt for the Wilderpeople director Taika Waititi will be teaming up with Emmy-winning director Mark Gustafson to co-direct an Anomalisa inspired animation of the infamous chimp that became best buddies with The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, Bubbles.
You read that right, Bubbles is getting his own film. The chimp was adopted by Jackson back in 1988 and didn’t leave his side for a number of years, not until 2003 when the chimp became an aggressive adult like all normal chimpanzee’s and could no longer be controlled. However, Waititi has stated that this is in no way a biopic on the monkey’s life.
“It’s an idea that fascinates me and one I want to develop further,” said Waititi. “Most people know I’m a huge Michael Jackson fan, so the main thing for me is to make sure it’s respectful of him and his legacy.

The story of Michael Jackson’s famous pet chimpanzee will come to the big screen in a stop-motion film titled “Bubbles.” According to Deadline, Taika Waititi and Mark Gustafson will co-direct Isaac Adamson’s Black List script, which will “be told in the vein of Starburns-produced ‘Anomalisa.’”
“It’s an idea that fascinates me and one I want to develop further,” Waititi expressed. “Most people know I’m a huge Michael Jackson fan, so the main thing for me is to make sure it’s respectful of him and his legacy. I’m not interested in making a biopic; I want to focus on telling a story that blends fact and fantasy, about an animal trying to make sense of the world.”

A corrupt small-town sheriff is on the hunt for two runaway kids who took his car on a joy ride in Cop Car, an unnervingly funny thriller now available on Digital HD and On Demand, and debuting on Blu-ray and DVD on September 29, 2015, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
Starring Golden Globe-winner Kevin Bacon (Footloose, Mystic River) and directed by Jon Watts (the upcoming Untitled Spiderman Reboot), Cop Car is “A midnight movie blast!” according to Russ Fischer of Slashfilm.
When a pair of 10-year-olds find an abandoned cop car in a field and take it for a joyride, it seems like they could kill themselves at any moment. But things only get worse when the small-town sheriff goes looking for his missing car—and the illicit cargo he left in the trunk—and the kids find themselves at the center of a deadly game of cat and mouse they don’t understand.

In the spring of 2014, Netflix announced the addition of four new titles to its ever-growing roster of original documentaries. For one of them, Print the Legend, Netflix just released the trailer, which hints at more scandal than you would assume possible with the word printer. Print the Legend will dig deep into the world of 3D printing and the companies involved in it. Makerbot Industries and its founders Bre Pettis, Adam Mayer, and Zach Hoeken Smith seem to be the focus of the documentary, with eventual attention given to the company’s rivals as they arose over the years. Some key themes brought up in the trailer which are likely to be revealed in greater detail in the documentary are the ground-breaking aspects of 3D printing (like being able to make human organ implants, which could revolutionize the medical community), as well as its dangerous consequences (like users printing off...
