Guess what folks? Sin City is being rebooted as a TV series -but you knew it was going to happen eventually. Frank Miller’s widely popular comic book series hit the big screen with Sin City in 2005 and Sin City: A Dame To Kill For in 2014, the latter being considered a flop. With no sign of the reboot train slowing down but only going faster, Deadline is reporting that TWC/Dimension is developing a TV version of the comics. Producer Glen Mazzara of The Shield, The Walking Dead and Damian fame is said to be the show runner for the…

Alien, Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror that kick-started a franchise has continued to thrive not only in the media of film, but also in books, comics, video games, toys, and so many others. Some have argued that the first film in the Alien series is the best while others would argue that its sequel, Aliens, is indeed the master classic. A case can be made for either of those statements, but I would say that the stepchild of the franchise, Alien 3, deserves a certain level of respect from the fans. Now I know some people may call me crazy -…

Tyrese Gibson to Play Green Lantern? Tyrese Gibson cast as one of DC’s greatest heroes? Well, hold on there. Gibson, who was just in the latest installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, has been lobbying for the role of John Stewart AKA Green Lantern.  Some time has gone by but lately, speculation on Green Lantern’s appearance has been ramping up again thanks to Henry Cavil and his need to troll the fans.

It’s here. It’s Marvel on Fox Network. It’s from director Bryan Singer. It’s the new mutant show The Gifted and it’s kind of “meh”. Before we get into that, let’s talk a bit of news about the show. Fox has already decided to pick up the new show for a full season run which is great news given Fox’s track record of canceling potentially good shows before the season is even done with. To wet the whistle of people waiting for this show, a teaser has been released and it looks interesting but also kind of cheap. Even though shows…

What the s&*t?! It looks like the sequel to last year’s comic book superhero film, Deadpool, has had to delay production. But don’t get your panties in a bunch; it’s only for one week. Now, the production has come across a few hiccups with the loss of director Tim Miller and the seemingly long casting search for Cable, but the film will resume principal photography in the land of Maple Syrup known as Vancouver, Canada. Many sources to the production in the area have been listing the film as Love Machine, Deadpool 2 as the title, but that could just…

The discussion for which Comic Book company is better has been raging on for as long as the first cave painting was discovered. Don’t quote me on that. Marvel and DC have been continuously duking it out for Box Office supremacy for quite some time and it’ll ramp up further with the soon to be released Wonder Woman and next year’s Justice League. The fans of each company constantly love to share their opinion on whose stories and characters are better – all over the internet in heated battles that rival those on the big screen. One such fan of DC,…

When you think of epic films, Peter Jackson is pretty high up there on the list. The man was able to bring the massive world of J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy and prequel to the big screen, which will never be duplicated again. Peter Jackson even gave it another go on an epic scale by bringing a classic piece of cinema that defines art for a new generation with King Kong. Granted that film wasn’t a massive hit like the Lord of the Rings films, but it still was a beautiful sight nonetheless. Jackson has had a long…

*Heads Up: SPOILER WARNING for some of the X-Men Films including Logan* Comic book films have graced our TV and theater screens dating back to the early 50’s and have been thriving for the past 20 years.
