This is why the Madonna biopic starring Julia Garner isn't happening after all
Through the process of writing the script, Madonna was bitten by the memoir bug, and she channeled that energy into her forthcoming album "Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II," which drops July 3.

âThe SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePantsâ Review: The Bikini Bottom Crew Triumphs in Another Rollicking Undersea Comedy
Breathlessly enthusiastic trailers and cheeky online promotional campaigns (âThis Christmas, Theyâre in Deep Shipâ) have been popping up everywhere for the new SpongeBob SquarePants movie and it doesnât even open until December 19. The enduring popularity of the long-running TV series and feature-film franchise with kids, teens, Gen Z and even Millennial fans would seem to make such intensive outreach almost unnecessary, perhaps even redundant.

Netflixâs âFrankensteinâ Trailer Has Fans Clamoring for Theatrical Release
When it comes to producing exclusive movies, Netflix, in a way, cannot win.If the streamer makes a lousy movie, the project will be criticized for its quality.If the streamer makes what appears to be a fantastic movie, the company will be criticized for not releasing the movie in theaters. Call it the Road House paradox. (The sweet spot, it would seem, is to release movies that are perfectly watchable yet mediocre â which, coincidentally, Netflix does quite a bit).On Sunday, the streamer released the first teaser trailer for director Guillermo del Toroâs longtime passion project take on Frankenstein. The prospect of yet another adaptation of Mary Shelleyâs classic novel might seem wearisome, as there have been nearly 200 filmic versions of the tale already. Yet the trailer (below) looks absolutely stunning â and hugely cinematic. The film stars Oscar Isaac as the mad doctor, Jacob Elordi as his monster and Mia Goth as Victorâs fiancĂ©e and features a sumptuous visual feast of Victorian and Arctic imagery.
