File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 4 (UPI) -- The 50th annual Toronto International Film Festival will open with the world premiere of the documentary John Candy: I Like Me. TIFF announced the documentary, directed by Colin Hanks and produced by Ryan Reynolds, will screen Sept. 4 at the Opening Night Gala at Roy Thomson Hall. The film chronicles the life and career of Candy, an actor and comedian who died in 1994 at the age of 43. "Comedy fans all over the world grew up on John Candy's humor," TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey said in a news release. "We love that John's global career started in Toronto, and we can't wait to share John Candy: I Like Me with everyone at this year's Opening Night Gala premiere. Colin Hanks has made a hugely entertaining film packed with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, but like John, this movie is all heart. For us, it's the perfect way to kick off TIFF's 50th edition." John Candy: I Like Me features never-before-seen home videos, interviews with his family and the recollections of colleagues and collaborators. The documentary is set to be released in the fall on Prime Video. Ryan Reynolds's career: Film premieres, laughs and family Ryan Reynolds (L), and his former girlfriend, Alanis Morissette, pose together at the premiere of "De-Lovely" in New York City on June 21, 2004.

Lionsgate Head Says AI Can Recut Films for Kids, Create Anime Adaptations, and Save Millions... In Just Hours — GeekTyrant
In a recent interview with New York Magazine, Lionsgate vice chairman Michael Burns opened up on how the studio is starting to experiment with AI, and if what he's saying holds up, it's a glimpse into a very weird (and very real) future for filmmaking. Last September, Lionsgate inked a deal with AI startup Runway, the same company behind several high-profile generative video tools, making it the first major Hollywood studio to partner directly with the tech firm. Burns says the goal is simple: 'make movies and television shows we'd otherwise never make.' 'We can't make it for $100 million, but we'd make it for $50 million because of AI,' he explained. 'We're banging around the art of the possible. Let's try some stuff, see what sticks.' And what 'sticks' could mean anything, from lowering costs to transforming entire franchises for entirely different audiences. Some of the more interesting examples is taking a gritty, R-rated film and repackaging it for kids and turning a film into an anime. 'Now we can say, 'Do it in anime, make it PG-13.' Three hours later, I'll have the movie,' Burns said. 'But I can do that, and now I can resell it.' A full reworking of a major film, adjusted in tone, format, and rating, done in mere hours with AI. It's not just science fiction anymore, this is now a business model. Lionsgate, which holds the rights to massive properties like John Wick and The Hunger Games , now has the option to rework its library for different audiences with just a few tweaks. New York Magazine noted, 'With a library as large as Lionsgate's, they could use Runway to repackage and resell what the studio already owned.' Burns even cited a more grounded, behind-the-scenes example of how this could impact production: 'We have this movie we're trying to decide whether to green-light. There's a 10-second shot — 10,000 soldiers on a hillside with a bunch of horses in a snowstorm.' In the past, shooting that scene would cost millions and take days. Now? AI could generate the shot for about $10,000. Of course, Burns did clarify that AI doesn't erase everyone from the picture. 'I still have to pay the actors and all other rights participants,' he said. 'But I can do that.' So while the creative implications are still a giant question mark, the business play is clea… faster production, lower costs, and endless remix potential. What comes next? We're all about to find out. This is wild, but its the future. The ball is rolling and there's no stopping it.

Vampire horror movie Sinners is now available to buy, and fans are rediscovering their favorite moments, from its killer soundtrack to Remmick's line delivery
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sinners is now available on digital, and fans of the vampire horror flick have wasted no time in watching the movie again and sharing their favorite moments online. As of June 3, 2025, Ryan Coogler's horror hit is ready to buy and watch at home on Prime Video and other movie purchasing sites. This has led to a resurgence of Sinners discourse online, with many fans sharing key scenes they loved in the theater that they are now able to watch again and again – including that iconic music sequence. "Sinners exploring the past, present, and future of black music is one of the most magical moments in cinematic history," said one fan on Twitter. Upon Sinners' release, this scene in particular proved to be a hit with viewers, painting a powerful tapestry of African American culture throughout the decades. Another detail that fans have picked up on, which you may have missed in theaters, is when Smoke goes to visit Annie at her house. There, she strikes a match, which lines up perfectly with the backing track. "I was sold from the start with Sinners, but the moment Ludwig synced these guitar hits to the match strikes,' said one fan. 'I knew this movie was really something special." Of course, fans are not forgetting about some of the more horrific scenes that come later in the film. When Smoke, Sammie, and the others are hiding out at the Juke Joint, Remmick and his vampire army wait outside. In one jumpy moment, Remmick appears at the open door shouting, "Sammie!" Remmick's line delivery in this moment has reminded fans of star Jack O'Connell's rather underrated take on a vampire. "Finally, the Adam Sandler line delivery from Sinners has hit the timeline," said one Twitter user, adding that this is very much a compliment. "It reminded me of Jack Nicholson in The Shining," said another, with many other fans adding that they just cannot stop saying 'Sammie' just like Remmick. Sinners is certainly in the running to be the best movie of the year, and the reaction to its digital release just proves it. The movie hit theaters on April 18 and was met with rave reviews and a near-perfect 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, pulling in over $350 million worldwide during its theatrical run. Sinners is available to buy on digital. For more, check out our list of the best vampire movies, or keep up with upcoming horror movies heading your way.
