By my reckoning the biggest problem that Marvel Studios faces is less sequels or superhero fatigue – something I’m not at all convinced exists – than runaway production costs. Some might tell you that interest has waned in superhero films, which is blatantly not true (particularly when it comes to Marvel Studios, though DC Films…the […]
There’s been movement on Todd McFarland’s Spawn movie – I don’t know if Jamie Foxx is still attached – though this movie seems to have been in development for almost a decade. According to Comicbook.com McFarland has brought in a two-time Academy Award nominated writer, though at this point I’m just wondering if he’s just […]
I really enjoyed William Eubank’s Underwater – though if you haven’t seen it check out his first movie, The Signal (2014), which combines Dark City (1998) with an alien abduction story; which is admittedly a bit oxymoronic, but it works – and even own a copy (or is that license?) though whatever the creature is […]
James Gunn posted a picture of David Corenswet as Superman on Instagram from the upcoming Superman: Legacy and I wish he had chose a photo that looked more heroic because while I understand why Henry Cavill was recast, I think he more looked the part. And is it just me, but why does the tunic […]
I watch a lot of movies, and one thing I have come to notice, particularly in reference to smaller productions, is that drones – the small robots that when equipped with a camera can give shots from heights and angles open only to larger productions in the past – are becoming fairly ubiquitous. And I […]
To be sure, most high-concept crossovers are fairly stupid – all one has to do is recall when in 1994 Marvel’s Punisher visited Archie Comics’ Riverdale – but despite the appearance of crossing streams, there’s a bizarre logic to it in that Archie is the polar opposite of the Punisher, which makes at the very […]
I’m paraphrasing an article from The Wrap where the writer talks about the purchase of ‘collectables,’ which in this instance happens to hold popcorn. What. Is. Wrong. With. People!? I ask because why is anyone overpaying for essentially a tin that is VERY likely to be worth less than the popcorn that fills it and […]
Jared Leto posted an image from the upcoming Tron 3 or TR3N (a weird jumble of letters and a ‘3’ though unlike M3GAN it at least makes sense in that it’s the third Tron movie) on Instagram and apparently the movie carries over the design esthetic from Tron: Legacy (2010) That’s good and bad because […]
When I first heard that James Wan was developing a series based on Robert McCammon’s excellent novel,Stinger, I had mixed feelings. The novel revolves around an alien (the language of the creature isn’t directly translatable to any human language so the closest we can get to what the creature is is ‘Stinger of the House […]
Apparently there’s a new version of Stephen King’s Salems’s Lot, and according to King it’s quite good though for whatever reason Warner Bros. has not released it (in theaters or streaming). Now I can see why Stephen King is concerned, after all it’s not beyond reason to think that maybe the series/movie will not be […]
