Netflix has made another game changing move today by announcing a picture deal with one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces. It was announced that the upcoming film, War Machine, starring Academy Award winner Brad Pitt, was purchased by Netflix for a whopping 30 million dollars. This, of course, isn't the first move into big screen releases for the home streaming giant, as they also have a current four picture deal with Adam Sandler and will be releasing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 on their service the same day it will be released in theaters. It's going to be interesting to see just what other films Netflix might bring to their service. Who knows, in a few years, we might all be making less trips to the theater.

Well, this is a bit of a surprise. Disney has apparently decided to not move forward with it's planned Tron sequel that was rumored to be title, Tron: Ascension. Director Joseph Kosinski, along side returning actors Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund, were also rumored to return for the sequel. After 2010's lack luster performance of the second film in the series, it finally began to seem that the sequel was actually moving forward. One has to wonder if this is a reaction to Disney's less than stellar box office performance from Tomorrowland over Memorial Day Weekend. You can never say never when it comes to Hollywood but for the time being, it looks like we won't be seeing Tron 3 anytime soon.
