Micro-budget filmmaker and lover of all things horror.

Despite the huge marketing push featuring Jared Leto’s Joker in the all-new Suicide Squad, his screentime in the film is actually quite short and spread out to about 20 minutes give or take. Fans were disappointed, and it seems the actor was too. During an interview with IGN, he was about his scenes being cut and whether or not this upset him: “Were there any that didn’t get cut? I’m asking you, were there any that didn’t get cut? There were so many scenes that got cut from the movie, I couldn’t even start. I think that the Joker… we…

Star-Lord, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, received a new look from artist Kris Anka for an all-new solo series. Anka is known for character redesigns, including many members of the X-Men and X-Force following the original Marvel NOW! Era. Chip Zdarsky, writer for Star-Lord, says that having Anka to redesign Star-Lord was a great opportunity. “I’ve said it before that if you have Kris Anka on your book and DON’T get him to re-design something? You’re a monster,” says Zdarsky. “So I’m eternally grateful that our bosses Jordan D. White, Kathleen Wisneski, Darren Shan, Axel Alonso, Joe…

There’s an Easter egg in the all-new Suicide Squad that points out the real identity to Jason Todd/Robin’s killer. SPOILERS FOLLOW! According to the opening which featured some unique comic book-styled flashes featuring each character’s criminal history, Harley Quinn seems to be the murderer behind Jason Todd’s death; not the Joker. This changes what fans previously thought – given a scene from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that showed Bruce Wayne walking past a stature of Robin that’s been vandalized with graffiti. It seemed clear that it was a reference to the Joker performing the murder as he did in the…

We live in a world where movies are now being rebooted every few short years, leading up to endless road maps of sequels, prequels, and any other term executives can come up with. This, unsurprisingly, means we’ll be getting a sequel to this year’s Deadpool. And also unsurprisingly, it’ll be parodying the whole concept of the current filmmaking climate. “I think Deadpool 2 will comment on anything that’s happening in movies today, especially in superhero movies,” producer Simon Kinberg managed to say at this year’s TCAs. He also said it’ll comment on the sort of glut or saturation of these movies…

It’s no mystery that Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice failed to receive the responses that both fans and the studio wanted to see. And, naturally, during an interview with JoBlo, Suicide Squad director David Ayer voiced his own thoughts on the matter: “I liked it a lot. I love Zack. He is probably the biggest fan of DC Comics. He has an incredible passion in a very specific way, a specific take on it. He’s a smart guy, and I think he heard everybody, he heard them loud and clear, and you grow and you evolve. I thought…

Marvel and DC are undoubtedly the two biggest superhero franchises of all time. And they’re quickly building up to becoming the two biggest film franchises as well (some could say Marvel already is). So naturally, there is often a debate of which is better and who would win if the two were to square off. That’s what this video from Screen Rant managed to tackle. It cuts together some of the best fight sequences from both franchises and merges them together to help the viewer imagine what it’d be like if heroes from Marvel and DC really did fight each…

Pumpkinhead is finally getting remade it seems, according to Entertainment Weekly. Producer Peter Block secured the rights to the project and is seeking out the perfect director to help get his vision made.
