The Future Where There Are No More Movies Welcome to timeline number one, where Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the final movie in the series. It felt like a safe bet after the fourth movie underperformed in the United States. It also felt like a safe bet because audiences really do seem like they’ve had it up to here with Johnny Depp as both an actor and as a human being....

Kenneth Branagh Ponders An Agatha Christie Cinematic Universe By Jacob Hall/Dec. 27, 2017 1:30 pm EST Now, director and star Kenneth Branagh is saying that this could open the door to an Agatha Christie cinematic universe.

Times for a deeper dive), but from a filmmaking perspective, this is a bold and unique piece of work....
