Though the Judge Dredd series entitled Judge Dredd: Mega-City One was announced a couple of months ago, it probably won’t actually be here until around 2019. The show is yet to cast anyone – though, they are in talks with 2012’s Dredd star Karl Urban, per the producers: “We have been in discussions with Karl about his possible involvement in Judge Dredd: Mega-City One for some time. These conversations continue but we’re keen, he’s keen – it’s just a case of us making sure this show is everything we want it to be. This needs to be done right –…

The first four minutes of the upcoming IT movie have leaked online – and there’s not much to say, aside from the fact that Bill Skarsgard’s interpretation of Pennywise The Clown is very unsettling. At the request of Warner Bros., we have removed the footage. It’s not exactly a surprise, considering that Skarsgard said that he actually terrorized the child actors behind the scenes of the movie. Per the actor: “It’s a really weird thing to go, ‘If I succeed at doing what I’m trying to do with this character, I’ll traumatize kids.’ On set, I wasn’t very friendly or…

Earlier this week, Disney announced that they’d be pulling their content from Netflix starting in 2019. This had Marvel fans questioning the status of what would happen with their Netflix Original Shows, but apparently, there’s nothing to worry about. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Disney CEO Bob Iger said the following:  “Our direct-to-consumer services mark an entirely new growth strategy for the company, one that takes advantage of the incredible opportunity that changing technology provides us to leverage the strength of our great brands.” He added: “U.S. Netflix members will have access to Disney films on the service through…

While the X-Men movies featured plenty of romance, none of that romance featured Wolverine and Storm. At least – none of it actually made an X-Men movie. In a new interview with EW, Storm actress Halle Berry revealed that Storm and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine actually did have a romantic backstory: “Storm and Logan used to be lovers,” the Oscar winner said. “It’s true. Storm and Logan had a thing.” Jean Grey apparently messed things up: “When he really decided that Jean Grey was his [love] … that caused a problem,” she said. Storm was heartbroken in the aftermath, but Berry…

Yesterday, it was reported that Riz Ahmed was cast in the upcoming solo Venom film as a ‘popular Marvel character’. Many speculated and even jumped to the conclusion that the actor would be playing Carnage, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, this is not the case: The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star is in talks to join Sony’s Venom, the studio’s first spin-off in a shared universe based on Spider-Man characters. Ahmed’s character is being kept under wraps, but insiders say he would not be playing the villain Carnage, which Sony has been looking to cast. Sources say the actor was considered for…

Back in May, popular theater chain Alamo Drafthouse had ‘Women Only’ screenings for Wonder Woman. Per the theater chain’s announcement: The most iconic superheroine in comic book history finally has her own movie, and what better way to celebrate than with an all-female screening? Apologies, gentlemen, but we’re embracing our girl power and saying “No Guys Allowed” for one special night at the Alamo Ritz. And when we say “Women (and People Who Identify As Women) Only,” we mean it. Everyone working at this screening — venue staff, projectionist, and culinary team — will be female. So lasso your geeky…

To say that the reboot of ‘The Crow’ has had some trouble would be a massive understatement. The film has gone through numerous director and casting changes. Actors ranging from Mark Wahlberg to Bradley Cooper have been attached to the film at one point, only to drop out. Jason Momoa was set to star in the title role, with Corin Hardy as the director. The film was even scheduled to begin production in January of this year, but then it was announced that Relativty lost the rights to the film. It was announced that Samuel Hadida’s Davis Films, Electric Shadow and Highland…

It’s been well documented that we were supposed to receive a 3rd film in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ franchise. We didn’t, though, because the film underwhelmed at the Box Office (in terms of a Spider-Man film) and Sony made a deal with Marvel Studios. There hasn’t been much revealed about what exactly would be in a third film, but while speaking with Den of Geek, director Marc Webb revealed: “Yeah, we were talking about the Sinister Six. They were going to make a Sinister Six movie before we did the third one. But I wanted…Chris Cooper was going to come back…

Despite having two mega stars in Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, 2016’s Passengers didn’t do all that great at the Box Office – or review wise. Critics bashed it as being openly accepting of ‘sexism’ and date rape, among other things. Well, it turns out that Jennifer Lawrence agrees with those criticisms and is actually disapointed in herself for not noticing it sooner. In a recent interview with Vogue, Lawrence said:  “I’m disappointed in myself that I didn’t spot it. I thought the script was beautiful — it was this tainted, complicated love story. It definitely wasn’t a failure. I’m not…

Alien: Covenant was a film that was met with mixed reviews, but was considered better than 2012’s Prometheus. Unsurprisingly, Screen Junkies have made a hilarious ‘Honest Trailer’ for the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njlXBc8Q7o4&feature=youtu.be The film’s sub-par Box Office apparently even has FOX thinking twice about making another film, according to a recent report: Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant dropped 71 percent in its second weekend, and has earned $232 million worldwide. Sources say Fox will have to reassess two intended sequels Scott has pitched while he is off helming Getty kidnapping movie All the Money in the World and then drug lord drama…
