One of the biggest announcements in the tidal waves of news coming out of the Disney Investors Day Event has to revolve around the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series coming to Disney Plus. Not only are fans excited to see Ewan McGregor return to explore what happens to Obi-Wan after the events of Revenge of the Sith. What caused his self-isolation? What did he do in that time? But, as it turns out, McGregor isn’t the only actor returning to the franchise. Thanks to the Investors Event, we now know that Hayden Christensen is returning as well, and will indeed be…

Disney Investors Day is steamrolling through the news today and one of the major announcements has been the all of the upcoming Star Wars series coming to Disney+. And, one show that was expected but never actually teased has been for Ahsoka Tano. The fan favorite character from Clone Wars and Rebels has recently finally come to the live action side, being played by Rosario Dawson on The Mandalorian. Fans assumed that signing such a big name actress to the role surely would lead to her own series, and they were right. No other details as of yet have come…

Ever since the success of the IT reboot, which brought the classic horror film back to the masses (along with a renewed fear of clowns), other classic slasher films have been given a new life. Case in point, Halloween. The 2018 soft reboot ignored all of the sequels after the second film and moved forward with the simplified story. This method worked and it was a huge success. Now, as two sequels are set to come out starting next fall, and then the following year, the rating for Halloween Kills has been made official. We are none too shocked. David…

Sony Pictures is looking to pull out all the stops when it comes to Spider-Man 3. As production is ongoing in Atlanta, star Tom Holland looks to have quite a cast building up around him. Jamie Foxx is returning as Electro, Benedict Cumberbatch is set to appear as Doctor Strange, and rumors have run amok on other actors from the last two iterations of the wall-crawler on the big screen making an appearance. Alfred Molina has been spotted in Atlanta, and it has now been reported that he is returning as arguably the greatest on-screen villain in any Spider-Man film,…

Spider-Man 3 is becoming a surprisingly packed film these days. You’ve got the return of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. You’ve got Jamie Foxx returning as Electro. You’ve got Benedict Cumberbatch making an appearance as Doctor Strange. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are both rumored to return to the franchise. Now, we can add another name from the rumor mill that’s actually been confirmed today. Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus. That’s right, the incredible actor that gave us the greatest villain thus far in any Spider-Man movie, Doctor Octopus, will be back. The news comes to us from The…

George Lucas has been a writer and director in Hollywood for nearly 50 years now, with such memorable films as American Graffiti, co-writing all four Indiana Jones movies, and more. However, he is most known for creating a franchise that has garnered a massive base of die hard fans, eleven films and counting, spin off cartoons and television series, merchandise out the wazoo, and even theme park attractions across the country. That would be, of course, Star Wars. In 2012, Lucas sold off his rights to this multi-billion dollar franchise to Disney. But why? Why give up this baby that…

Sony Pictures is working hard to build their own cinematic universe with the Spider-Man properties, forming the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters. Along with their joint venture with Marvel Studios on the Tom Holland led solo Spider-Man films, Sony has brought in Venom and its upcoming sequel, Venom: There Will Be Carnage. They also have another character ready to debut for the catacombs of Spidey lore. Morbius, starring Jared Leto, is set to premiere in 2021 (after delays caused by the global pandemic). Ever since its first trailer hit, not much of anything has come out since. Now, a…

Oscar Isaac is quickly becoming the busiest man in Hollywood. H isn’t filling his calendar with just small projects, but is shouldering multiple massive cinematic properties with frantic fanbases all at once. Hot off the heels of his Star Wars run as Po Dameron, Isaac joined the cast of Dune before signing on with the Marvel Cinematic Universe as arguably the most sought after character by fans, Moon Knight. He is also set to star in the adaptation of Brian K. Vaughn’s Ex-Machina comic. This is all on top of several other projects with some of Hollywood’s best, like Jake…

If you are a horror fan, it might be time to invest in some real estate classes and get your license. After the news broke awhile back that Buffalo Bill’s home from The Silence of the Lambs was up for sale, it looks like yet another homestead of an iconic horror villain has hit the market. This time, it is the childhood home of none other than Michael Myers, seen in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. While this is widely considered as one of (if not the) worst film in the franchise, the introduction of Myers’ childhood was…

According to the 1919 manual, “Ten Million Photoplay Plots”, there are only 37 basic plots to any possible story. It is the twists and tweaks along the way that make your story unique. This 100+ year old manual is still the standard in storytelling today. This goes for film, television, books, and comics. Concerning the latter, comic book writers have ‘inspired’ each other since the Golden Age. Aquaman is DC Comics’ answer to Namor. Hawkeye is Marvel’s answer to Green Arrow. Jack Kirby created Darkseid, which led to the creation of Thanos. Solomon Grundy’s look was changed to match the…
