Is it just me or does it seem like there has been a bit of competition going on recently in the world of high profile castings? Last year, it was Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. More recently Denis Villeneuve has been landing impressive name after impressive name for his upcoming science fiction epic Dune. Now it would seem that Christopher Nolan might be joining the fray. Hot on the heels of reports that…

Casting for Titans Season 2 has really picked up steam in recent weeks. Last month, we got word that they’d found their Superboy. Last week, we discovered that they’d found their Deathstroke. And now, we can exclusively reveal who they’ve cast in a mysterious role believed to be Rose Wilson, aka Ravager, aka Deathstroke’s daughter! But first, a little background, because credit must be given to Charles Murphy over at That Hashtag Show. He’s the one who broke the story that…
When Illumination released Sing in 2016, they were rewarded mightily. The animated film, which featured an all star cast as well as a fantastic soundtrack of pop tunes from various eras being sung by the aforementioned all star cast, only cost $75M to make, yet would go on to earn $634M worldwide. That’s why it comes as no surprise that there’s a Sing 2 on the way. Yet, if you thought they were just going to rest on their laurels and…
Recently it was announced that Arrow would end its legendary run with a truncated 8th season. The show that has spawned an entire universe (and programming slate for The CW) will finally hang up is bow. When that happens, Arrow fans want to make sure it is celebrated properly.

[DISCLAIMER: There are slight spoilers ahead for The Clone Wars animated series.] Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow explores the realms of Naboo, introducing us to the culture we met in The Phantom Menace. It traverses the years of the prequel trilogy extraordinarily well, and does a great job distinguishing the time changes. The plot works well, and it follows author E. K. Johnston’s first successful Star Wars novel in Ahsoka in being in the same realm. Most of the great…
The winter of 2017 was rocked by the success of a film many thought would get lost in the shuffle. After all, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle came out mere days after Star Wars: The Last Jedi– a move most thought was pure foolishness. But something fascinating happened: The market showed there was more than enough room for two big blockbusters at the end of December, as the Jumanji sequel went on to make just shy of a billion dollars…
I find it hard to believe that it’s already been over seven years since we last saw Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. John Watson in Guy Ritchie’s 2011 sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. It really doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. With Downey’s tenure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe seemingly coming to a close later this year with Avengers: Endgame, I actually started wondering not too long ago when we might see…
One franchise that came out of nowhere was 21 Jump Street. The comedy starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill was a huge hit, spawning a sequel and talks of more to come. 1 of those ideas was to cross the franchise over with Men In Black. Instead, that went its own way, and Jump Street will continue with a female led spinoff. In December, it was reported that Tiffany Haddish would star in the movie. The rumor was that she…
