It would seem that once Jason Reitman was named as the director for the third Ghostbusters movie, 30 years after the last film was made, it created a bit of a domino effect with information. After it was made official, Reitman posted a pic of the original Ecto-1, with Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson jumping on with some great (and revealing?) comments. Now, two separate sites have supposedly spoken with a source (unknown if it’s the same source or not) that has given up some plot points for the film. Birth, Movies, Death and We Got This Covered have both…

The IT remake was one of the most horrifying films in recent history, and a very well received take on the classic horror novel from terror master, Stephen King. The story that made everyone absolutely terrified of clowns, its box office success demanded a sequel. IT: Chapter 2 has recently wrapped principal filming, and the cast is still trying to recover from the all too real performance from this generation’s Pennywise, played by Bill Skarsgård. James McAvoy, who himself will been seen as The Beast in the upcoming Glass, commented on filming the movie. Specifically, he discussed the real life fear…

Ever since the controversy surrounding past tweets by Director James Gunn got him fired by Disney, and subsequently sent the third Guardians of the Galaxy film into limbo, he has been silent on Twitter completely. Silent, that is, until now. However, this latest bizarre tweet, which was almost immediately deleted, has done nothing but create questions and confusion. The tweet, which simply said, “Oh, that sucks, David. Sorry, Man.” and was accompanied by a GIF of Jim Carrey from the film, Liar, Liar, has zero context, and was deleted immediately. With Gunn known for his love of Easter eggs and…

We are just 100 days away from arguably the most anticipated film of all time, Avengers: Endgame. After the release of the record breaking trailer, fans have been salivating for plot details and clues as to the whereabouts and mindsets of their favorite heroes. One of the most popular is the Hulk, who was mostly absent from Infinity War. He refused to come out and fight Banner’s fight, feeling like nothing more than a tool, rather than his own being. But, what if there is another reason why Bruce Banner couldn’t change in the Hulk? Well, there’s a fan theory…

There are times when films have terrible timing. It’s no fault of their own, but life can be extremely cruel and very unexpected at times. Back when the tragedy of 9/11 happened, the original Spider-Man film had to change its marketing and remove a scene from the movie that depicted the World Trade Center Towers. Now, we’re having another similar incident, this time involving the horrific Parkland school shooting and a particular horror film. Happy Death Day 2U is the sequel to the quirky horror flick, Happy Death Day, which was like Groundhog’s Day, but with lots of murder. This time…

The Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer has finally hit the internet, after countless faux releases thanks to “Twitter Experts”, and man, it did not disappoint. We get a lot of plot details confirmed, like the Elementals, Jake Gyllenhaal’s comic accurate Mysterio, and possible romance between Aunt May and Happy Hogan, and Nick Fury’s recruitment of Spidey. But, did we also get confirmation of a particular fan theory that suggests a certain Avenger isn’t going to make it out of Avengers: Endgame alive? While watching the trailer, we see Spidey make an appearance at a charity event, seemingly led by his…

The Disney/Fox Merger has been the talk of the Nerd World ever since it began. And the discussion has nothing to do with the astronomical $73 billion dollar cash price that Disney paid, but rather the fact that Marvel would be getting back most of its respective properties, especially the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and they could now get proper treatments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the biggest gets will, of course, be the X-Men franchise. They have had a fairly successful film run, but have teetered off as of late, with their last film, Apocalypse, being…

We’re reaching the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 with the upcoming release of the highly anticipated films, Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame. Endgame, in particular, is going to be a bittersweet experience for fans everywhere, as we know that it will be a goodbye for many of the long tenured characters who have graced the MCU screens for over a decade. These heroes have been the foundation of the incredibly successful MCU, but Marvel’s character library is vast and new heroes look to be on their way in. Now, thanks to a new rumor, a new Young…

While Marvel and DC are the two biggest names in comics, and in superhero movies, there is another comic book company jumping into the cinematic realm. Valiant Comics, one of the more successful “indy” comic publishers (like Image Comics), has a plethora of dynamic characters with a rather large cult fanbase. Now, Valiant has joined forces with Sony Pictures to create their own Valiant Universe, and the first film, Bloodshot, is currently filming with star, Vin Diesel, in the lead role. And, thanks to an Instagram post from Diesel, we get our first look at the titular character! Meet Ray…

If you grew up in the 80’s, you were most likely a Ghostbusters fan. Whether it was the two classic comedies from Ivan Reitman, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Harold Ramis, or the successful animated series, every kid wanted a proton pack and their own Slimer as a friend. You also never looked at marshmallows the same way again, thanks to a 100 ft Stay Puft MarshMallow monster! However, after the successful sequel in 1989, fans have been patiently awaiting a third film (and most fans definitely do not count the all female remake from 2016). Now,…
