‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ Coming Soon to Netflix

'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' Coming Soon to Netflix

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse‘ Coming Soon to Netflix. “What’s up, danger?” The Oscar Winning film from Marvel and Sony Pictures will be viewable on Netflix starting on June 26, 2019.

According to ComicBook.com, the award winning film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is expected to receive a sequel, a spinoff female-led featured film, and possibly a television spinoff series to show off even more of the Spider-Verse! On Tuesday, Netflix US took to Twitter to announce the films addition to the popular streaming service.

When asked about the film at the beginning of this year, co director Bob Perisichetti said, “We were working so hard, we were very late in delivering the film so we didn’t really have a moment of pause before the reactions started pouring in. So it was kind of shocking to immediately go from the mix stage to a premiere and a release, but the positivity has been so incredible. There’s one really good story that Rodney has, but I’ve got one that I shared with you from a father of a really good friend of my son who saw this movie and sent a really incredible DM to me about how he grew up in Brooklyn, how he was this sort of really nerdy somewhat cool kid who loved Peter Parker and saw this film with his son and was just talking about how if he had this when he was a kid how much this would’ve meant to him. And he was so happy to share it with his son. So for me, it’s those moments that just make you go, ‘Oh, this is wonderful.'”

The Spider-Man centered film stars Shameik Moore (Miles Morales), Jake Johnson (Peter Parker), Hailee Steinfeld (Gwen Stacy), John Mulaney (Spider-Ham), Nicholas Cage (Spider-Man Noir), Kimiko Glenn (Peni Parker), Bryan Tyree Henry (Jefferson Davis), and Live Schrieber (Kingpin).

See their characters swing into action once again when Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse comes to Netflix this Summer!

Disneyland’s iconic Adventureland sign has returned after a renovation project to widen the entryway to the tropical-themed area that was continually being congested by traffic.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard to reprise their roles in Universal’s Jurassic World Ride

Universal

Stars of the JURASSIC WORLD films Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and BD Wong reprise their roles as Owen Grady, Claire Dearing and Dr. Henry Wu, bringing their characters from the silver screen to Universal Studios Hollywood’s much-anticipated mega-attraction, “Jurassic World—The Ride,” opening this summer.

This marks the first time the cast will appear as their iconic characters outside of the JURASSIC WORLD films for a theme park attraction.  As part of original content created exclusively for the new ride, Owen, Claire and Dr. Wu will shed light on their interactions with the dinosaurs along with facts and information about the imposing prehistoric creatures that first roamed the earth more than 65 million years ago.

This spectacular new ride will feature an original storyline that will take guests on a breathtaking excursion through the theme park as depicted in Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s film, JURASSIC WORLD.  It will soar to new heights with the addition of iconic dinosaurs from the movie, including the colossal Indominus rex and the magnificent aquatic Mosasaurus in her natural habitat.

For the first time, JURASSIC WORLD fans will have the chance to see this impressive creature and become immersed within her massive Aquarium Observatory.  Appearing to span over 60 feet in length and tipping the scales at over 30K pounds through stunning state-of-the-art visual effects, the Mosasaurus is a sight to behold as she moves just inches away from guests throughout her glass enclosure filled with the equivalent of 3.5 million gallons of water.

Universal Creative collaborated with Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to bring the Mosasaurus to life and to capture the realism of her underwater environment using a combination of spectacular visual effects and cutting-edge technologies, including the use of motion parallax, a technique that shifts the guest’s perspective of the Mosasaurus as she moves throughout the tank.

The team also employed a series of lighting enhancements allowing the aquarium to intuitively shift from day to night, as well as visual changes to the environment during inclement weather, thus creating a variety of visual scenarios guests can experience based on when they experience the ride.

“Jurassic World—The Ride” captures the essence of the blockbuster movie and comes to life in collaboration with the award-winning and inspired minds at Universal Creative, the Academy Award®-winning special-effects visionaries at Industrial Light & Magic, a division of Lucasfilm, Ltd., Universal Pictures and acclaimed filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow and Frank Marshall.

When “Jurassic World—The Ride” opens this summer, guests will be welcomed to a dramatically reimagined space reflective of the hit films.  A fresh entry statement, stonework landscaping, and a contemporary redesign of the iconic JURASSIC WORLD gates, illuminated with billowing flames, will create the framework for the all new aesthetics.

Once guests pass through the queue, they will board specially designed rafts that will navigate the lush environs of dense vegetation and traverse new areas besieged with towering dinosaurs meandering at just an arm’s length away.  Encounters with such docile creatures as the Stegosaurus and Parasaurolophus will quickly turn awry as predatory Velociraptors and Dilophosaurus begin to wreak havoc, turning guests from spectators to prey.  When the Tyrannosaurus rex begins to battle one of the attraction’s new ferocious dinosaurs, the rafts will spill down a treacherous 84-foot waterfall as the sole means of escape.

Located adjacent to the ride will be a new elaborately themed “Raptor Encounter” where Blue, the beloved Velociraptor from the JURASSIC WORLD franchise, will engage guests in daring face-to-face encounters.

In addition, a new interactive “Dino Play” area will incorporate educational components within an inspired space where children of all ages can explore and excavate giant dinosaur fossils.

To see Universal Studios Hollywood’s new marketing campaign, It Just Got Real in support of this summer’s opening of “Jurassic World—The Ride,” click here.

With so much to see and do at Universal Studios Hollywood, the new California Neighbor Pass invites guests to experience 175 days of fun for $149 when purchased online. Visitwww.UniversalStudiosHollywood.com for more details. Blackout dates and restrictions apply.

New Report Released Naming the Busiest Theme Parks in the World.

New Report Released Naming the Busiest Theme Parks in the World.

Recently a report was released naming the busiest theme parks in the world. According to the report, the reports were “some of the biggest findings from the latest reports of attendance estimates at the U.S.’s biggest theme parks and water parks”.  The report also states the attendance at the industry’s major attractions surpassed half a billion visits for the first time in history.

With theme parks fiercely guarding attendance figures, this new report naming the busiest theme parks in the world is a rare insight into the industry for park-goers.  Quite a few parks showed an increase in attendance in 2018.

Ranked as the 11th busiest theme park in the world, Universal Studios in Orlando increased attendance by 5% to 10.7 million.  In addition, Universal’s Islands of Adventure’s attendance increased by 2.5% to 9.79 million ranking Islands of Adventure as the 14th busiest theme park in the world.

SeaWorld’s attendance has risen after years of struggles with a reporting of a 16% jump in 2018 versus 2017.  This jump ranked SeaWorld Orlando as the 10th busiest park in North America with an attendance of 4.59 million in 2018.

Ranked as the 6th busiest theme parks in the world in 2018 with an estimated 13.75 million visitors is Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park.  The Animal Kingdom Park surpassed both Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

Lastly, the most popular park in the world is, of course, Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World.  The Magic Kingdom Park had a 2% attendance jump in 2018 with nearly 20.86 million people attending the park annually.

According to the report, the theme park thrived in 2018.  The report suggests that the driving factor to the growth among the North American theme parks were “the new attractions based on popular IP and strong storytelling”.  Are you surprised at the reports?

2 of the 3 New Disney Cruise Line Ships Will Be Based Out of Port Canaveral

DCL

DCL

2 of the 3 New Disney Cruise Line Ships Will Be Based Out of Port Canaveral. The new ships are expected to finish construction in 2021 or 2022.

The new deal is a 20-year operating agreement between the Disney Cruise Line and Port Canaveral. “It’s a very big deal,” Port Canaveral Chief Executive Officer John Murray said Monday. “This is great news for the port.”

Disney Cruise Line will also be getting another slot for a ship at the port, meaning the cruise line will have three cruise ship spots at Port Canaveral. Currently the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy call the Florida Port their “home”, but one or both of these ships will find a new home once the currently unnamed cruise ships launch in 2021 and 2022.

2 of the 3 New Disney Cruise Line Ships Will Be Based Out of Port Canaveral

Construction has already begun on the next three cruise ships coming to the Disney Cruise line and are expected to be completed in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Disney has not announced where the third ship will be based out of.

This new agreement will replace the current agreement Disney Cruise Line holds with the port, which was set to expire in 2027. It is predicted that with the addition of a third ship, Disney Cruise Line will generate around $6 million in revenue a year for Port Canaveral.

2 of the 3 New Disney Cruise Line Ships Will Be Based Out of Port Canaveral

The Canaveral Port Authority Commissioner, Wayne Justice, said the agreement is an “extraordinarily exciting” development for Brevard County and the region, as it brings more tourist dollars to the area.

Justice said the deal shows Disney’s “confidence in the port,” as Carnival Cruise Line also demonstrated with a long-term deal reached with the port last year. “It’s just good news all around,” Justice said.

The Port commissioners are voting today for the contract and the signs point to a great outcome for both Disney Cruise Line and Port Canaveral who have an excellent working relationship with one another.

The new ships are expected to keep similar cruise itineraries to the current itineraries of the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
