When movies are remade or rebooted (or re-told), the first film in most cases, sets the standard. In regards to the upcoming IT movie, Bill Skarsgard has some pretty big shoes to fill when it comes to playing Pennywise The Clown – a character Tim Curry made iconic. Skarsgard, however, says there’s no need to compare the two: “It was always important for me to reinvent It and reinterpret It in a different way. I sort of grew up with the Tim performance and I was very familiar with it and a huge fan as an actor, so my process…

Earlier today it was reported that Leonardo DiCaprio is being eyed to play The Joker in the upcoming solo origin film that will be produced by Martin Scorsese. While it’s hard to be disappointed with DiCaprio’s involvement, it does need to be pointed out that WB does already have another Oscar winning actor under contract playing the same character – and he’s reportedly not happy with these new plans. Per The Hollywood Reporter: Insiders say Jared Leto, the actor who portrayed the Clown Prince of Crime in last summer’s Suicide Squad and is slated to reprise the character not just…

A couple weeks back, it was reported that Warner Bros. are developing an origin film for The Joker, to be produced by the iconic Martin Scorsese and directed by Todd Phillips. Now, The Hollywood Reporter is saying that the film is going to attempt to bring on Leonardo DiCaprio to play DC Comics character: Sources say Warners will make an ambitious attempt to use Scorsese to bring Leonardo DiCaprio into the world of comic-book movies. Certainly, Scorsese’s involvement in The Joker film, which The Hangover filmmaker Todd Phillips would direct, could elevate and diversify the studio’s contributions to the genre, creating…

Yesterday it was reported that the premiere of Jeepers Creepers 3 had been cancelled due to the film’s director, Victor Salva. The theater showing the premiere of the film feared protests over Salva’s disturbing crimes he committed back in 1988 and released this statement: “Dear Valued Customer, We would like to inform you that due to events beyond our control, the screening event hosted by @Moviedude18 for ‘Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 3’ on Wednesday September 13, 2017 will no longer take place at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres.

A few weeks back, an early review that was leaked before the embargo period was up gave us an idea that Marvel’s upcoming Inhumans series was going to be awful. Okay so aside from the awful trailers, it’s just a review, right? Well, now another review has officially been released from IGN, and it says the show is awful as well: This might sound like the MCU’s version of Game of Thrones, and it certainly had the potential to be with its superhero monarchy and plays for power, but the show is a disappointment on every level. The costumes and…

Every other week now, we have some rumors regarding the future of The DCEU. It’s always something with The Batman, something with Joss Whedon’s involvement with Justice League (or lack thereof) or whatever other story you consistently read about. Sometimes they’re not true – but sometimes they are. That’s the case with most rumors. As is the case with the latest set, you should take them with a grain of salt. Someone who claims to be high up in the production of Justice League is apparently sick of the rumors, so he’s going to set things straight – with more…

The upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘IT’ is one of the most anticipated movies of this year. Based on the early reactions for the film, the buzz seems to be well worth it. And now, you can add another person to the list of people giving the film high praise – none other than Stephen King: “I had hopes, but I was not prepared for how good it really was. It’s something that’s different, and at the same time, it’s something that audiences are gonna relate to. They’re gonna like the characters. To me, it’s all about character. If…

Gone with the Wind is now gone from The Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee. The theater’s board deemed the 1939 film “insensitive” to their larger audience after receiving “numerous comments” that stemmed from a screening on Aug. 11. As such, the title has been dropped from next year’s planned summer movie series. The complaints prompted the theater to release this statement: “While title selections for the series are typically made in the spring of each year, the Orpheum has made this determination early in response to specific inquiries from patrons,” read a statement from The Orpheum Theatre Group. “The Orpheum…
