Karl Urban lays out the conditions for suiting up as Judge Dredd once again in Mega-City One

by

2012’s Dredd was just one more film — in a long line of films — that received very positive reviews, and tanked at the box-office. As a result, the Dredd film franchise was left dead in the water. However, as luck would have it, a Judge Dredd TV series was announced this summer for (potentially) […]

With Bond 25 rumored to be Daniel Craig’s last turn as 007, there has been a lot of talk regarding who could replace him. Several names have popped up over the last year: Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, Michael Fassbender, etc. One of the other names thrown into the mix is that of Luke Evans. The […]

Lore actress Kristin Bauer van Straten on the TV show’s traditional approach to horror

by

Aaron Mahnke’s Lore podcast started out small, and quickly grew into a wildly popular bi-monthly series. Each episode is a dark history lesson filled with urban myths, with the goal being to find the historical truth in the legends. The show is very informative, and often unsettling. The newly premiered TV show is no different. […]

Luke Evans would like to see his Dracula added to the Dark Universe

by

Dracula Untold released in 2014 to middling reviews. Critics seemed to agree that the film wasn’t terrible, but certainly didn’t serve as an adequate franchise-starter, and even less an entryway into a planned “shared universe”. As a result, a sequel wasn’t planned, and Universal confirmed that Dracula Untold would officially be considered “non-canon”, with 2017’s […]

Martin Scorsese on why he dislikes likes sites like Rotten Tomatoes

by

Writing a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, legendary director Martin Scorsese opened up about his feelings regarding review aggregate sites like Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and Cinemascore.

by

With the release of the second trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the internet officially has Porg fever.

So where […]

Title for the abandoned sequel to the Friday the 13th remake revealed

by

Zack Snyder’s 2004 Dawn of the Dead seemed to open the floodgates to many more horror remakes over the next several years. And why not? The film was quite successful, and popularized the concept of “re-imagining” horror classics for modern audiences instead of just shot-for-shot remakes. However, as more horror remakes came out, things began […]

Jeph Loeb on why Hulu was the right fit for Marvel’s Runaways
