Mark Wahlberg doesn’t think Michael Bay will quit Transformers franchise, Transformers 6 not yet plotted out
Although Michael Bay has said on several occasions that Transformers: The Last Knight will mark his final outing in the Transformers franchise, this certainly isn’t the first time that Bay has suggested he was calling time on the series, and star Mark Wahlberg isn’t convinced that he won’t be back for the next instalment. “It’s […]
Jar Jar Binks lobbies Ron Howard for role in the Han Solo Stars Wars spinoff in latest Funny or Die video
Earlier in the week it was announced that Phil Lord and Chris Miller had been fired from the Han Solo Star Wars spinoff film due to creative differences.

How to Save the Dark Universe
Harrison Abbott on how Universal can save the Dark Universe… Whilst its international take is admittedly surpassing its domestic performance by quite some way, it is still reasonable to suggest that The Mummy hasn’t been the mega-hit that Universal were hoping for.
