While attending San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, I was able to chat with 2000 AD’s Michael Molcher, about their upcoming projects that include the highly anticipated Judge Dredd series, Judge Dredd: Mega-City One. We also spoke about other potential characters they have lined up, and the recently announced Rogue Trooper movie coming from Duncan Jones. I was talking to one of your associates about Rogue Trooper. Michael: Yeah. And I know Duncan Jones just got announced as director for that film, so I was wondering – why did you guys decide to choose Duncan Jones or did he…

The Venom movie is a film that has the potential to be really good – or really bad. Some fans have cast some heavy doubt on the film, due to the fact that it won’t feature Spider-Man – who is a key character to Venom’s origin story. Whatever the case may be, the film’s last trailer brought some positive buzz back, minus the way symbiote was pronounced. The latest footage should also get people talking. Sadly, we don’t have it yet, but we do have a very detailed description of the San Diego Comic Con footage: Brock walks into a…

“Let me give you a tip. If you want to make some money here, use your white voice.” I’ll be honest with you, I had never of heard of Boots Riley before seeing this film. Riley has a lengthy music career—which I have yet to check out. Sorry To Bother You is his directorial debut, a film for which he also wrote. It premiered at 2018’s Sundance with critics and audience members calling it one of the most original comedies in years. I would have to agree with that sentiment because I had no idea what was in store for…

“Suit up! It might get weird.” The Incredibles came out in 2004 when superhero films were always hyped to be amazing but faltered when released. Sam Rami’s 2002 Spider-Man and 2004’s Spider-Man 2 were the exception. Some misguided people would argue that the first two X-Men films were also exceptions. The reason 2004’s The Incredibles was so successful was that it took the family dynamic and made it into the Fantastic Four film we never got. So, it’s understandable that adults would melt into superhero fan boys or girls after fourteen years of anticipations for a sequel. That level of…

Ari Aster’s work is an acquired taste; his shorts – which you can find on YouTube – are evidence of that. The director has slowly built himself to his first film, Hereditary, and is already making his presence known in the horror genre. The movie’s unsettling nature works towards grief and generational trauma with the backdrop of supernatural elements. What Aster does with these is combine them into an elevated horror film that will leave a mark on anyone viewing it. Hereditary, directed by Aster and written by him, follows the story of a family dealing with a serious and…

“Can I have everybody’s attention. I’m looking for the guys who murdered my wife.” It’s easy to have a narrow mindset when it comes to the trailers for Blumhouse’s latest film Upgrade, and rightfully so. The film’s story follows vengeful killing machine Grey Trace (Logan Marshall-Green, or Great Value Tom Hardy) as he navigates his way through the not too distant dystopian future to kill the thugs that murdered his wife–a wife that was just a great plot device.  The only possible way for Trace to do this after becoming a quadriplegic is to sign up for an experimental procedure…

“I know that nothing can change, and I know there is no hope.” I’ve never been a fan of religious films. The idea of watching a story where the power of God gets our characters through their endeavors always seemed full of it, like the Bible. If I do watch a film with religious undertones, it’s normally a movie that showcases the brutality of the subject like The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence. I’m also more inclined to watch a religious film if it has realistic discussions, like Dogma and The Seventh Seal—Dogma and The Seventh Seal in the…

“Let me give you some advice. Assume everyone will betray you and you will never be disappointed” The Star Wars train that Disney has purchased and upgraded keeps chugging along each year. With a new film in the in the ever-growing franchise, many audience members question if spinoffs are necessary. It can work surprisingly well like in Rogue One, or it can crash and burn before the film reaches pre-production, like Josh Trank’s Bobba Fett. Thankfully, James Mangold is in the pilot seat for the latter and is set to write and direct the film. Lucas Films’ next installment in…
