One, two, Freddy’s coming for you… It’s been 30 years since Robert Englund first put on the make-up for A Nightmare on Elm Street as the now iconic Freddy Krueger and to mark the occasion, he’s doing it one last time. At the Flashback Weekend on August 8th (get tickets here), Englund will be putting […]

It was announced last month that Scott Derrickson (Sinister) would be directing the adaptation of Doctor Strange for Phase Three of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, and it was a couple of weeks later that Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) had been brought on to pen the script.

Having directed 3 X-Men movies (his latest being X-Men: Days of Future Past) and Superman Returns, you would expect Bryan Singer to be moving away from the comic book world before heading back in for X-Men: Apocalypse in 2016. However, Tracking Boards show that his company, Bat Hat Harry, have acquired the rights to The Age of […]

Flickering Myth co-editor Luke Owen sits down with Christine Langan, Head of BBC Films, to talk about Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie… It wasn’t press screened for critics prior to its release and when the reviews came out, it was perhaps clear why. However, that hasn’t stopped Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie being a roaring success at […]

Luke Owen looks at the outrage from last night’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer (which you can watch here)… The Great British public are an incredible bunch of people. We love to queue in orderly fashions, a cup of tea is better than a glass of beer and complaining about things that don’t really […]
