The Batman has already reared its head several times to the media with its interesting development. Replacements, Ben Affleck’s heavy changes, test footage of Deathstroke, the much exaggerated rumors that media is unable to make up their minds. The stories go on. No one is really certain. The “what if” history is always one that fascinates us fans. With that, a tidbit of information might have given us an idea what kind of atmosphere we’d have been looking at. Film reporter and rumor intelligence Umberto Gonzalez of The Wrap made a tweet yesterday afternoon that identified a specific David Fincher…

Recent reviews of the upcoming IT film have been very stellar, already achieving a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Many of the major critics have already had their say on the matter, but how about someone more in tune to the fandom? Someone as close as being in the original production could have a influential say for the matter. Before his time with the stop-motion satire phenomena Robot Chicken, Seth Green was the child actor of Richie in the 1990 adaptation of IT starring Tim Curry. As it turns out, he has already had a viewing of the film. He took…

There is no doubt the amount of influence Batman: The Animated Series had on childhoods and comic fans worldwide, and the rich casting and history is nothing short of its amazement. To this day, people are unable to get enough of The Joker’s portrayal by Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill, nor are they able to believe it is the same person altogether. With many years doing the role from video games to movies, Hamill is undeniably the voice of the madman and shows no signs of stopping. But one little known fact about the Joker is that Mark Hamill was…

The upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘IT’ hits theaters a week from now, and buzz is at an all time high. It’s been 27 years since Tim Curry first portrayed Pennywise The Clown, but if you’re like me, that film will always be remembered because it was the first film to really scare me. The actor hasn’t said anything about Bill Skarsgard’s upcoming film – until now. We were able to ask Curry about his thoughts on Skarsgard’s portrayal of the iconic character at today’s Fan Expo Canada: “Well, I like [Bill] Skarsgard very much, I think he’s very…

Bill Skarsgård is up for some clown-sized shoes to fill as the menacing Pennywise for the upcoming It film…and so far with the little we’ve seen of the dimensional evil in make-up, it hasn’t disappointed audiences the slightest. Disturbing, dread and a horror with a discomforting cheer to his presence, it all lines up to a character that can really influence the shifting of the film’s tone than just the forms he takes. With only a handful of images of his full-on appearance and shots of the trailer, we have only so many clear views of Pennywise when not obscured…

Tom Clancy is no stranger to action, espionage and thrills, as the award-winning writer had penned many of his works to become one of the most recognized literature giants of the 20th Century. With many adaptations made from his sources in the form of films and games, slowly but surely a silver screen adaptation of the Rainbow Six book would be made in anticipation of many fans. With the film finally green-lit and in development, we may have a familiar face to add to the main cast. Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds is being eyed for a lead role, likely in…

Whether you enjoyed or hated the film, the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot directed by Paul Feig has certainly been blasted with a lot of drama behind the scenes since the start. Now the icing on top is the criticism of the film’s executive producer Dan Aykroyd, who mentions Feig will “not be back on the Sony lot anytime soon.” Talking to Britain’s Channel 4’s morning talk show Sunday Brunch, Aykroyd omitted the Feig’s name but made the role of the individual very clear: The director, he spent too much on it and he didn’t shoot scenes we suggested to him. Several…

Marvel’s cinematic universe is known for its expansive Easter eggs and foreshadows to future events and characters in films. Branching from movies to television to toys, we now have a new form in a media we certainly didn’t expect. Disneyland is opening up their new ride based off the MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy, entitled “Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!”. The description below is as follows: Deep inside his fortress-like collection, the mysterious Taneleer Tivan (aka The Collector) is displaying his newest acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy. They are trapped in customized display cases, suspended over a…

After the failing of Sylvester Stallone’s film in 1995, the idea of a Judge Dredd film being done right was a huge undertaking for studios, and with 2012’s Dredd, that wish came true in the form of a gritty and more to-the-core reboot we all know and love today. With enough of a cult following and our countless articles praising the film, our 5 year fight into giving Judge Dredd another shot into the world of media took storm one faithful day with the announcement of a television series entitled Judge Dredd: Mega-City One. What felt like an impossible fight…
