There’s no avoiding that Terminator: Dark Fate was a flop. Within two days of its release, the writing was not only on the wall, but in print. Outlets like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter pegged it to lose upward of $100 million. That projection was due, in no small part, to Dark Fate‘s abysmal opening. It made just $131 million worldwide in its premiere weekend. No amount of foresight or heroics from the future could prevent the disaster ahead. To date, it’s grossed…
Earlier this year it was announced that Brent Spiner would play the President on this season of Supergirl. Due to some personal matters, that ended up not happening, and Bruce Boxleitner took the role instead. But fret not, Spiner will be back on TV soon, in a role much better suited for him. I can exclusively reveal that Spiner will be a guest star on Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access. Spiner played Lt. Commander Data on The…
Deathstroke has been on the tips of lots of people’s tongues these last few years. Whether it’s Manu Bennett’s take on the character on The CW’s Arrow, Joe Manganiello’s tease at the end of Justice League, his constant presence in the world of the Teen Titans, or the recent news that Esai Morales will play a new live-action iteration of Slade Wilson in Season 2 of Titans, it would appear that people simply can’t get enough of Deathstroke The…
The last few weeks have been a hot bed of news, updates, and rumors about James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Whether it was the high profile recasting of Deadshot, where Will Smith bowed out due to a scheduling conflict only to be replaced by none other than Idris Elba, or recent news that original cast member Jai Courtney is now expected to return for the sequel/reboot/whatever, the film has garnered some intriguing headlines. And yet none of…
UPDATE: This casting has now been confirmed, with Deadline adding that Robbins will play Reginald “Pop” Merrill, the patriarch of Stephen King’s iconic Merrill crime family. ORIGINAL POST: [Disclaimer: It is encouraged, if not mandatory, that you read this article with Morgan Freeman’s voice in your head] Once upon a time, there was a masterfully-crafted film. It was was directed by Frank Darabont. It was based on a Stephen King novella. It was called The Shawshank Redemption.…
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…
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…
On Friday, as everyone was heading home for the holiday weekend, I received word that Warner Bros. and Armie Hammer had entered advanced talks about him being the star of Matt Reeves’ The Batman. At the time, I was asked to keep that to myself. The only thing I was allowed to say at the time was that he was merely “a frontrunner.” But now I’ve been given the go-ahead to let the bat out of the…
At last summer’s San Diego Comic Con, DC announced that they’d be releasing an animated film called Wonder Woman: Bloodlines. It was a shocker to fans, since DC had already announced that Reign of The Superman, Batman: Hush, and Justice League vs The Fatal Five were coming out this year. But DC said 2019 would be “special”, and that’s why they were excited to reveal a fourth animated film set to arrive this year. But since then, there really hasn’t been much else to say about the project.…
Breaking Bad is one of those series that has a permanent residence on many people’s “Best TV Shows Ever” lists. Similar to series like The Wire, The Sopranos, and Game of Thrones, it’s considered a landmark achievement. That’s why it was such a big deal last November when we learned of the mysterious project called Greenbrier. The project was said to be a film set in the Breaking Bad universe, but it quickly became clear that it was much more than that- as the very next day it was revealed that Aaron Paul…
