It’s been quite a long run for Game of Thrones — the show premiered all the way back in 2011 — and it’s a testament to the shows quality that many fans feel eight seasons is simply not long enough to finish telling the massive story of A Song of Ice and Fire. However, one key […]
Christian Bale really hit Heath Ledger during The Dark Knight’s interrogation scene
Cut to 2017 and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is still regarded as one of, if not the best comic-book films ever made. The movie transcended the genre in a way that few comic-book films have, and showed that Nolan intended to make good on his promise of creating a Batman film “grounded in reality”. […]
David Fincher thinks that the Marvel Cinematic Universe makes it challenging for directors to tell complex tales
Seven, and Fight Club director David Fincher has some criticism for the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During an interview with Youtuber Yellow King Film Boy, while talking about his excellent new Netflix series Mindhunter, the conversation swerved to Marvel Studios. As it turns out, Fincher takes some issue with the often light-hearted, and […]
Kevin Smith shares his thoughts on the current state of the DC Extended Universe
If there is any man who could be considered the ultimate authority on comic books, it would be Kevin Smith. It was Smith, you may recall, that got the very first look at Ben Affleck as Batman from Zack Snyder himself. For a while, Smith’s description of the suit was all we had to go […]
Karl Urban lays out the conditions for suiting up as Judge Dredd once again in Mega-City One
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) […]

Lore actress Kristin Bauer van Straten on the TV show’s traditional approach to horror
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
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
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. Perhaps not surprisingly, he isn’t a fan: “They rate a picture the way you’d rate a horse at the racetrack, a restaurant in a Zagat’s guide, or a household […]
