Ben Affleck’s reaction to the negative press and reviews given to Batman v Superman since its release in March has become something of an internet meme, spawning the Sad Affleck videos that became very popular. But according to Birth Movies Death, he’s more than just a little sad about it. As we learned recently, Ben Affleck was made an executive producer on Justice League, giving him more creative control over the direction of the future of the franchise. But sources from Birth Movie Death have more to add. According to them, Affleck was extremely displeased by the way that Batman…

Seven years after the release of Dragonball: Evolution, which was hated by critics, fans, and bombed at the box office, the screenwriter for the movie has apologized for it. In the beginning of an interview for an upcoming book called “USA DBZ”, screenwriter Ben Ramsey profusely apologized for his work on the movie. The entire apology can be found here, but here is a snippet of it: “I knew that it would eventually come down to this one day. Dragonball Evolution marked a very painful creative point in my life. To have something with my name on it as the…

The new Power Rangers reboot, coming in March of 2017, has released a few photos of its characters so far, but here, finally, we get to see the main characters’ suits: An obvious homage to the original series costumes, but with a modern redo that makes the suits look less like rubber or spandex costumes and more like actual battle armor. Does this mean that the new Power Rangers is going to attempt to ditch its campy roots and try to make a more serious movie, or will it still bring back the same silliness that the TV series has…

Well, everyone knew Game of Thrones is a popular show, but we didn’t know how popular it really was. Or how unpopular our current US Presidential candidates are, I guess. In a humorous poll conducted by Survey Monkey, 24% of respondents chose Tyrion Lannister as their top choice for the next President of the United States. That’s the highest result; it’s a tie with Bernie Sanders, and way ahead of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. In addition, a full 25% of respondents said the Seven Kingdoms government of Game of Thrones functions better than the US government. That’s pretty…

Just like with Transformers, the upcoming “Hasbro Cinematic Universe” has assembled a “Writer’s Room” to develop the upcoming movies in the franchise and help turn each independent series into a cohesive whole. The writer’s room for this franchise, though, has a huge pedigree. It also has a ton of writers from previous Marvel movies and shows. Some of the names include: Brian K Vaughn, writer for the critically-acclaimed comic series Y: The Last Man, writer for the critically-smashing comic series Saga, and showrunner for the Stephen King-based sci-fi show Under the Dome. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the writing team for…

While the casting of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One in Marvel’s upcoming movie Dr. Strange has been lauded by most people, many are also concerned about the fact that the Ancient One was originally an Asian character in the comics– thereby making this yet another case of Hollywood whitewashing its casting roles. Tilda Swinton herself, though, has responded to the controversy: “I wasn’t asked to play an Asian character, you can be very well assured of that,” she told reporters. “You just have to wait and see, because it’s not an Asian character.” The Ancient One was a Tibetan…

Several years ago, the world was shocked when Lana Wachowski, co-director of movies such as Matrix, Speed Racer, and Cloud Atlas, and co-creator of the Netflix show Sense8, came out as transgender. Though the Wachowskis are notoriously shy around the press, Lana became one of the most high-profile transgender people in entertainment. Now, in a surprising twist, the other Wachowski has also come out as transgender. Formerly Andy Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski came out in a statement to the Windy City Times out of fear that the tabloids like The Daily Mail would out her first. About this experience, she said:…

Zack Snyder, the director of the upcoming movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, spilled the beans about something that many movie fans have been wondering for years; Christian Bale’s status in the new DC movies. After it was announced that they were rebooting the Batman movies following The Dark Knight Rises and recasting Batman as Ben Affleck, people wanted to know one simple question: why? Here’s an answer, straight from Snyder himself: We did talk about that briefly. I just wanted to hire Christian to play another part to make that obvious. Christian could play, like, Alfred with age…

As the releases of Iron Fist and Luke Cage grow closer, there seem to be more and more rumors swirling around about the shows, and it’s hard to figure out which ones seem real but are actually fake, which ones are obviously fake, and which ones have grains of truth in them but are mostly fake (completely real rumors are made-up fairy tales). As was reported earlier, Shang Chi is rumored to be appearing in the upcoming Iron Fist series for Netflix. However, that rumor is… er, rumored to be false. The Hashtag Report, which originally reported that Finn Jones…
