The Pulse

The Pulse is back! We're kicking off our summer movie preview just as Hollywood is grappling with one of its biggest debates — the role of AI in filmmaking. Val Kilmer has been resurrected by generative AI to star in As Deep as the Grave, a film he was cast in years before his death in 2025 but was too ill to shoot. His family gave their blessing, the production followed SAG guidelines, and the trailer debuted at CinemaCon — but the conversation it has started is far from over.And that conversation got louder this week when Evangeline Lilly took to Instagram to blast Disney over the recent layoffs that gutted Marvel's visual development team, calling the decision "disgusting and horrible" and directing a pointed "shame on you" at the company. We're getting into all of it.Plus, Toho has officially confirmed Godzilla World — their answer to Legendary's MonsterVerse — a new interconnected universe of Japanese Godzilla films, with Godzilla Minus Zero leading the charge this November. And we've got your full summer movie preview to get you ready for the biggest season in cinema.
