Thursday, April 9th 2026 5:03 pm Following their success directing the well-regarded and money-making "Final Destination: Bloodlines," filmmakers Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein have set a high-profile new project. The pair have signed on for a sweeping and expansive first-look deal with Sony Pictures. Their newly launched production company Wonderlab will develop films under the deal for the pair to direct, with a focus on "wildly fun, commercial, character-driven, genre-bending films". The first title under the deal will be a film adaptation of gaming legend Hideo Kojima's signature franchise "Metal Gear Solid". This would mark the first time the property has been adapted for the screen. A previous attempt to adapt the property took place over a decade ago when Jordan Vogt-Roberts, hot off the success of "Kong: Skull Island," was linked to the project. That never ended up happening. Stealth-based games with sci-fi elements, the series began back in 1998 and the first title follows an attempt to take back a secret military base from genetically enhanced soldiers who have hostages in tow and a dangerous next-generation nuclear weapon. Since then the series has spawned numerous sequels and a highly complex mythology and lore all its own, with the games jumping to various different eras in the 20th century to further unfold its tale. Avi Arad and Ari Arad are producing the film. Lipovsky and Stein are already developing multiple projects at Sony and in February were announced as the helmers of an animated "Venom" movie. They're also developing the sci-fi epic "The Earthling" at Sony. At other studios, they have several projects in the works, including a new "Gremlins" film at Warners, "Long Lost" at Universal and "The Traveler" at Paramount.
Sony Pictures cuts hundreds of jobs in global restructure push. Joe Gallop | 08 Apr 2026 Sony Pictures Entertainment will cut "a few hundred" jobs globally as it reshapes its business to focus on growth areas including streaming, gaming-linked content and digital platforms. The layoffs, announced this week, will impact staff across the company's film, television and corporate divisions, with changes expected to roll out over the coming months. The move is part of a broader strategy under CEO Ravi Ahuja, who took on the role just over a year ago. In a note to staff, Ahuja said the company is "aligning our organisation with where the business is going, not where it has been." He added Sony would reduce roles in some areas while increasing investment in others "most critical to our future." The restructure reflects broader shifts as streaming, digital platforms and gaming disrupt traditional film and TV models. Sony Pictures sits within Japan's Sony Group, which also owns PlayStation, Sony Music and a major anime distribution network. The company is increasingly leaning into these cross-platform strengths, particularly through video game adaptations, anime expansion and YouTube-first content. Franchise development remains a key priority. Sony's Spider-Man universe continues to be a major revenue driver, alongside investments in game shows such as Jeopardy! and new content aimed at younger, digital-native audiences. The company is also streamlining operations, including merging some TV divisions and scaling back lower-growth areas such as visual effects unit Pixomondo. The cuts come amid ongoing turbulence in Hollywood, where studios are grappling with declining cable TV revenues, production slowdowns following pandemic disruptions and the long-term impact of recent labour strikes. Industry-wide cost-cutting has already seen thousands of jobs lost, with companies prioritising profitability and scalable digital content.

Denver Alamo Drafthouse workers strike over changes to famous ordering system. The strike begins Friday. Mar. 31, 2026, 3:01 pm 3 min. read "How to order." Media day at the new Alamo Drafthouse on West Colfax, May 8, 2017. Kevin J. Beaty/Denverite Alamo Drafthouse Sloans Lake union members plan to strike on Friday, picketing the Denver movie theater. They are protesting a new digital ordering system that some workers say has ruined the vibe (and the job) at the moviehouse, which prides itself on serving food straight to patrons' seats. A spokesperson for the union, Communications Workers of America Local 7777, said the strike would last "an undetermined amount of time." Seventy-five unionized workers, including servers, runners and back-of-house staff, voted on the strike, with 94% in support. It's unclear exactly what impact the strike will have on the theater's operations. Following a previous four-day strike last year, three of 11 laid-off workers were reinstated. What changed? Previously, customers ordered food by scribbling it down on paper. Not only did phones stay in pockets - they were downright ridiculed. Alamo Drafthouse was founded as an indie theater back in 1997 in Austin and was bought by Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2024. The corporate purchase had cinephiles worried about big changes coming to the brand, which Entertainment Weekly once heralded as the best movie theater in the country. A year later, Sony implemented a new phone-based ordering system. Customers request food and drinks by scanning a QR code - an act critics say creates visual distractions for cinephiles. "Yes, it means you'll need to use your smartphone and a custom-built 'dark screen' to order food or drink during the movie," the company stated on its website. "This doesn't mean we're changing our rules on talking or texting during the movie." The goal, Alamo Drafthouse maintains, is to reduce distractions, including dropping off checks during movies' climaxes. What's the complaint? Union members say the new system isn't delivering as intended. It has caused tension between guests and staff, complicated orders and led to poorly delivered food, they say. Alamo Drafthouse Sloans Lake workers describe their action as an unfair labor practice strike. They say the new technology may lead to staff reductions, though the company denies that. Management shot down a proposed union compromise to choose between paper and phone ordering. Katie Hansen, who has worked for Alamo for the past 12 years and serves on the union's bargaining committee, said customers are revolting and telling her they won't return to the theater. "The QR system isn't optional," Hansen said in a statement. "It's being forced on every guest. This creates a worse experience for customers and makes our jobs harder, not easier." A proposed contract between Alamo Drafthouse and the workers would have limited their ability to speak out against the new ordering system. They would neither be allowed to wear anti-QR-code-ordering messaging nor take collective action against the system. Alamo Drafthouse representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Staffers at the Westminster location also recently voted 40-2 to join the union. Kyle's been obsessing over Denver since he moved here from Chicago in 2005: What is this place? Who thrives here? Who's pushed out? Who has room to create and fulfill their dreams? Whose dreams are squashed? And why? He's the former culture editor at Westword, where he covered the city's arts and music scene. Before that, he covered city and state politics as the managing editor at the Colorado Independent. He's raced triathlons (slowly), grown food (well...with others), and toured the country in a folk-punk trio (apologetically). Now, he's reporting about Denver's growth and couldn't be happier about it. Email: [email protected]
Charles D. King's MACRO Film Studios lands multiyear exclusive deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Get radio facts news. Get exclusives first March 30, 2026 1 min. read Charles D. King and his MACRO Film Studios have closed a major deal that could reshape how Black-led content gets developed and distributed in Hollywood. MACRO has signed a multiyear exclusive first-look, co-financing and distribution agreement with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Under the terms of the deal, Sony Pictures will have an exclusive first look at feature film projects developed and produced by Macro Film Studios. The companies will also co-finance select feature films, with Sony set to release one Macro Film Studios-produced and co-financed feature production annually. For the music and entertainment industry, this deal matters for several reasons. Charles D. King founded MACRO with a specific mission: to create, produce and distribute film, television and digital content that reflects multicultural audiences. MACRO has been behind a number of critically acclaimed projects, and this Sony partnership gives the company significantly more firepower to develop and release projects that speak to urban and multicultural audiences. For music supervisors, sync licensing professionals, and music publishers, a deal like this means more MACRO productions coming to market - which translates to more placement opportunities. When a production company with MACRO's demographic focus signs a major distribution deal with a studio like Sony, it opens doors for urban and R&B music in the sync pipeline. This is a big win for diversity in Hollywood and a smart strategic move for both companies. Congratulations to Charles D. King and the entire MACRO team. Get exclusives first
