Ryan Coogler Says ‘Sinners' Was the Antidote to Directing Franchise Films: ‘I Wanted to Get Away from That'
Ryan Coogler has no interest in turning 'Sinners' into a franchise and is standing by it. The 'Black Panther' and 'Creed' director told Ebony Magazine that despite his original film being a box office hit, it's a one and done story. Coogler reunited with his frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan for the film, which puts Jordan in dual roles as twin gangsters Smoke and Stack. The film follows the brothers as they escape dueling factions in Chicago and return home to Mississippi to open a music hall, only to discover more blood-sucking foes left to battle. More from IndieWire 'John Candy: I Like Me' Documentary to Open 2025 Toronto International Film Festival Jon M. Chu Warned His 'Wicked: For Good' VFX Team That the Film Will Inevitably Be Memed 'I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetizers, starters, entrees and desserts, I wanted all of it there. I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing,' Coogler said. 'That was how I was asked all about it. That was always my intention.' He continued, 'I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that. I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique.' Coogler is confirmed to be developing an 'X-Files' reboot, saying during the 'Last Podcast on the Left' that the project has been in the works for a while. He also is returning to the MCU franchise world with 'Black Panther 3,' which will star Denzel Washington. 'I've been excited about ['X-Files'] for a long time, and I'm fired up to get back to it,' Coogler said. 'Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really fucking scary. We're going to try to make something really great and really be something for the real 'X Files' fans, and maybe find some new ones.' Coogler previously thanked fellow filmmakers Spike Lee, Quentin Tarantino, and Brian De Palma for helping to inspire his leap of faith with 'Sinners.' He also credited audiences for purchasing tickets to go to the feature in theaters. Coogler wrote in a letter shared with IndieWire, 'I had the gift of the opportunity of making a film inspired by my family and my ancestry, but it was always a film that we wanted to make for audiences, in theaters. We always had our minds on you, the audience, and felt a deep responsibility to entertain you, and move you in the way only cinema can. We don't get to do what we do if you don't show up. To see your response to the film has reinvigorated me and many others who believe in this art form. And together maybe we can expand the definition of what a blockbuster is, what a horror movie is, and of what an IMAX audience looks like.'

Why Rick Moranis returning for Spaceballs 2 is a big deal
Thursday's announcement of the Spaceballs sequel hitting theaters in 2027 with the great Mel Brooks back as the omnipotent (and Spaceballs merch-laden) Yogurt was already great enough to begin with. However, the reported return of legendary comedic actor Rick Moranis as the Darth Vader spoof Dark Helmet by Deadline pushed this wave of movie news over the edge into truly special territory. Moranis remains one of the most beloved comedy actors of his generation, as the SC-TV alum transitioned into a successful film career. Beloved films of his include the Ghostbusters series, Strange Brew, Little Shop of Horrors, the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids series, Parenthood, Streets of Fire, My Blue Heaven and Little Giants. Outside of a handful of voice roles, including Disney's Brother Bear, Moranis hasn't acted in a live-action film since 1997's direct-to-video Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. He hasn't acted in a live-action film sent to theaters since the Moranis-Tom Arnold two-hander Big Bully in 1996. Moranis did provide a voice cameo on the ABC sitcom The Goldbergs as Dark Helmet in 2018, but this will be his first official reprisal of the character and his biggest project in film or television since Brother Bear. Moranis never technically retired, but he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015 he has no regrets about his extended acting hiatus. The publication wrote that his late wife, Ann, died from breast cancer in 1997, and he chose to focus on raising his two children after that tragic event. 'I was working with really interesting people, wonderful people,' Moranis told THR about his life before his break from the industry. 'I went from that to being at home with a couple of little kids, which is a very different lifestyle. But it was important to me. I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. My life is wonderful.' Moranis had agreed to star in Disney's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids reboot with Josh Gad, but the latter shared in 2023 that the COVID-19 pandemic, scheduling and budget concerns all played a role in derailing that project. Now 72, Moranis will now officially work with Gad and reunite with Brooks and Bill Pullman, who will reprise his Spaceballs role as the Luke Skywalker/Han Solo parody Lone Starr, for the comedy sequel. Gad co-wrote the film's script and is expected to have an acting role in the project. Nope's Keke Palmer also reportedly has a role in the sequel. While this isn't Moranis' first sequel, the Spaceballs follow-up's 2027 arrival will bring Moranis back to the screen for the first time in 31 years. May the Schwartz be with him in his anticipated theatrical return. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Rick Moranis in Spaceballs 2 is a big deal

Disneyland says MrBeast's '$500,000' date was an after-hours experience
Disneyland says MrBeast's '$500,000' date was an after-hours experience Show Caption Hide Caption Disney launches new Florida resident ticket deal Walt Disney World has announced the launch of a new ticket deal for Florida residents just in time for the summer. Fox - 35 Orlando Disneyland is offering more detail about MrBeast's viral date after YouTube's most popular creator said he paid $500,000 to have the entire theme park to himself. "Disney won't just hand over their keys to anyone, but for this once-in-a-lifetime date, we were given the entire park for one night," MrBeast, the social media persona of Jimmy Donaldson, says in the video with more than 66 million views. For the video, Donaldson took this fiancée Thea Booysen on six dates ranging from $1 to $500,000, concluding with what he described as a private evening at Disneyland. MrBeast's trip was held after hours, park says MrBeast and his team visited Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California "a couple of weeks ago" for an after-hours experience at the park, a Disney spokesperson told USA TODAY on June 11. While MrBeast and his crew didn't have to face any lines or crowds, the park didn't change their normal operating hours to accommodate the influencer, either. Variations of this experience are available to all customers, including Disney After Hours, in which customers can purchase tickets for three extended hours after the park's traditional closing time. The park also offers Disney's Fair Tale Weddings & Honeymoons, which allows couples and their family to rent various venues, including The Sleeping Beauty Castle Forecourt and Small World Mall. One upcoming after-hours event is Disneyland's "Pride Nite" celebration from June 16-18. You may not get the park to yourself, but the park says guests can expect shorter wait times and special entertainment experiences. MrBeast's team did not immediately respond for comment when contacted by USA TODAY on June 11.

Disney did not specify if it is possible for customers to rent out the entire theme park. However, several Disney-centric blogs like Magic Guides say fans shouldn't get their hopes up about getting the park to themselves for a day. "Closing down the resort for a day would be a public relations nightmare and would severely disrupt how guests could plan and book their trips," Magic Guides' author Joshua Powell wrote. One celebrity actually did rent out the park MrBeast isn't the first and likely won't be the last celebrity to make a solo appearance at Disneyland. On Feb. 27, 1992, actress Elizabeth Taylor rented out all of Disneyland to celebrate her 60th birthday. The entire park shut down for the birthday bash, which required extra security. Hundreds of celebrities attended the party, a possible marketing win for Disney. Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY. Story idea? Email her at gcross@
