When the trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker dropped last week, so many fans lost their minds when it came to this surprise coming out of the Star Wars celebration in Chicago. Many questions were raised in regard to what was shown from the trailer. How much time has gone by since the events of The Last Jedi? How strong has Rey become during that time? Who’s piloting the TIE fighter at the beginning? Is the title in reference to Rey’s heritage or Kylo’s? Is Emperor Palpatine returning? Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, has heard your questions but…

One of the many things that fans of the Fox Studio X-Men franchise worried about—despite the movies being garbage—was the change the characters would face since the Disney/Fox merger occurred. As far as we know, the main X-Men movies are ending with Dark Phoniex and New Mutants. Despite rumors that the latter may never even see the light of day. One portion of the X-Men franchise that the audience members won’t have to worry about changing is Deadpool. The Merc with the Mouth has had a strong fanbase since the Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds led movie came out in…

Spider-Man: Far from Home—the other big Marvel movie coming out this year—release date has been bumped up to the surprise of everyone. Marvel fans are counting down the days to Avengers: Endgame but the web-slinger is still set to make a second appearance this summer’s blockbuster season. Instead of hitting theaters on July 5th, the second installment in the Tom Holland Spider-Man era is set to come out on—wait for it… July 2nd. That’s a whole 72 hours. WOW… Jokes aside. With Sony moving up #SpiderMan Far From Home’s release date 3 days, (from July 5 to July 2) we…

Captain Marvel has become another win for Marvel Studios, crossing the billion-dollar milestone and becoming the first female superhero movie to do so—sorry, Wonder Woman. Before the movie was released, Marvel took another step further in their effort of bringing new blood into their fold by signing on its first female composer in the form of Pinar Toprak (Krypton). Toprak was dead set on scoring the Brie Larson starring film and spoke this year about the lengths she went to snag the gig: “I made my intentions clear, and when the opportunity to demo came, I wanted to make sure…

It looks like we now know who will voice Chucky in the upcoming Child’s Play movie – and it’s none other than Mark Hamill. It was confirmed at WonderCon during a panel for the film, which ScreenGeek was able to attend. Chucky can be heard saying “Goodnight, Andy” in a recording from Mark Hamill. Here’s Hamill confirming the news: “People let me tell you ’bout my best friend…”🎶 The wicked fun begins when @ChildsPlayMovie is unleashed in theaters: Friday, June 21st 2019. #SoLuckyImChucky 🤪 @MGM_Studios @OrionPictures pic.twitter.com/ExOYuwj9sP — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) March 31, 2019 Fans had been connecting the dots,…

Writer and director Jordan Peele has become a serious force in the filmmaking world. The man’s talent for writing steered more towards comedy in his early days on MadTV and the widely successful Key & Peele show. It was when Blumhouse Pictures decided to take a chance on the comedic writer’s head-first dive into the horror genre, with Get Out, that history was made. Now, Peele is back with another stab at the genre with his latest film, Us. I was one of many critics that were blown away by Peele’s style and social commentary on the world around us and couldn’t…

Fans of the MCU have been clamoring for a female-led superhero film for quite some time. Marvel’s roster of female superheroes is about as long as their male counterpart’s and just as full of opportunities for great storytelling. Sure, characters like Black Widow, Shuri, and Scarlet Witch—just to name a few—were there to tide the fans over, but it just wasn’t enough to wet our whistle. Thankfully, Marvel finally pulled the trigger by giving the fans what they want in Captain Marvel. It’s not necessarily their best origin film to date, but it was one of the most enjoyable rides…

The Fat Man (not so fat anymore) Silent Bob and his heterosexual life partner, Jay, are back in Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. The filming for the movie has already wrapped up and Smith decided to mark the occasion by posting an official look of the two iconic characters on his Instagram page: View this post on Instagram SNOOGANS! Here’s a first look at @jayandsilentbobreboot, courtesy of our genius @dpronlevy and our master stills artist @kylebonokaplan. On this adventure, Silent Bob’s dressed pretty much the same as he’s been in #Dogma through #clerks2, but Jay’s outfit…

Jordan Peele has been on a roll since hitting the film world of horror with Get Out and hasn’t slowed down one bit. While taking another stab at the genre with his soon to be released sophomore film Us, Peele decided to produce a “spiritual sequel” to the classic terrifying film, Candyman. The obvious question that followed the announcement was: “Will Candyman himself, Tony Todd return to create a new nightmare for this generation of horror fans?” Sadly, the answer is “No”. Yet, two positives came with this answer: 1) Candyman will be played by Aquaman actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II—one…
