Netflix’s streaming library only continues to grow, with one of their most anticipated upcoming projects being The Witcher, with Superman star Henry Cavill. Based on the novel and video game series, The Witcher has been one of the most acclaimed fantasy projects, giving it the potential to be the next Game of Thrones. While there have been steady developments about the series, Deadline has revealed that Netflix will release the fantasy series “in the last three months of the year,”, as well as other key releases like The Crown. The series is currently being filmed in Hungary. Check out a plot synopsis of…

Before Fortnite took the adolescent gaming scene by storm, there was Minecraft, a charmingly simplistic game that gives its players free rein to create and explore their own worlds. With the game reaching massive heights, Warner Brothers have been trying to get a film adaptation going since 2014, with multiple directors coming and going ever since. Finally, it appears that the Minecraft film is being resurrected from the dead. According to the game’s developers Mojang, Minecraft will officially hit theaters in spring 2022. Check out their official announcement: “Normally, when we’re talking about blockbusters on Minecraft.net, we’re being clever (or so we like to think!) about pickaxes.…

It’s been nearly 3 years since The Conjuring 2 debuted, but the Conjuring brand has only grown since its debut. The massive success of Annabelle: Creation and The Nun have established the series into a cinematic universe, with Warner Brothers greenlighting several spinoffs. After that lengthy wait, Warner Brothers has begun finally working on the long-awaited The Conjuring 3.  While fans still have to wait till 2020 to see what is in store, star Vera Farmiga is already hyping up its release. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Farmiga discussed her excitement for the upcoming film: “Conjuring 3 is coming, and it will be a doozy. It will…

The Conjuring Universe has done the improbable of establishing a horror cinematic universe on the big screen. That being said, the series recent entries have hit a snag when it comes to the critics. Last year’s The Nun was unanimously panned (26% on Rotten Tomatoes), with their upcoming film The Curse of La Lorna not faring much better so far (38% on Rotten Tomatoes). That being said, I enjoyed The Nun quite a bit, and audiences seemed to as well considering the film’s successful box office run (365 million worldwide). With that success, Warner Brothers have already greenlit a The Nun 2. According to Deadline…

Oscar-winning director Guillermo Del Toro shocked audiences with Hellboy and its respective sequel The Golden Army, two films that turned Mike Mignola’s overlooked comic series into great superhero films. With a decade passing, Hellboy is now being rebooted on the big screen, this time from genre director Neil Marshall (The Descent). The 2019 Hellboy is a night and day difference from its predecessor, with its shameless and disjointed execution standing out at every corner. Hellboy finds its titular hero (Stranger Things’ David Harbour) tasked to stop the end of the world when Nimue the Blood Queen (Mila Jovovich) arises from the dead to unleash monsters…

The Star Wars brand has remained central in popular cultural zeitgeist since its origin, yet its films have experienced several post-release changes. Much of that is thanks to the creator and former owner of the property George Lucas, whose various special editions added only annoying tweaks to the already great films. Moments like Darth Vader now screaming “No” in Return of the Jedi are both needless and lack an understanding of what made the originals work. With the Star Wars universe now in Disney’s control, the studio is continuing to assert their control over the popular brand. Their latest move is announcing a change in title…

Netflix has had several noteworthy films since dipping their toes in original content, but none of have quiet captured mainstream attention like Bird Box. Even though the film scored modest reviews from critics, it became somewhat of an internet sensation with audiences, even inspiring its own meme entitled “The Bird Box Challenge”. Netflix latest horror film The Silence looks to take that concept, which was also popularised by A Quiet Place, in a different direction. The result is a cheaply made Sci-fy channel film that holds some shameless entertainment value. The Silence follows Ally (Kieran Shipka), a teenager who is lost for hearing but…

The upcoming release of Disney Plus later this November is one of the year’s most critical developing stories. With properties like Star Wars, Marvel, and Fox’s wide library under their control, Disney+ is likely to shake up the streaming service hierarchy in significant ways. The House of Mouse has recently announced several original series that will premiere on the streaming platform, including a Falcon and Winter Soldier series. The series is expected to star franchise favorites like Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie in their titular roles, with both characters being known as Captain America’s faithful sidekicks. Check out the reveal image that Disney…

One of the biggest surprise successes of 2018 was The Meg, which opened late summer and took a big bite out of the box office. Despite so-so reviews (45% on Rotten Tomatoes), the film had a profitable box office run, earning over 400 million dollars worldwide. With that success, Warner Brothers have already green-lit The Meg 2, with director Jon Turteltaub returning. The Meg 2 is still in the early stages of development although it appears that the film’s story is beginning to take shape. In an interview with SlashFilm, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura shared that this sequel will likely be based on Steven…

With the success of blockbusters like Aquaman and Furious 7, director James Wan has risen to the ranks of Hollywood’s elite directors. His adept visual flair and ability to produce creative films within the studio system are among Wan’s many talents, with the director making a seamless transition from his horror roots. Along with fostering blockbuster films, Wan also directed The Conjuring, which has since spawned its own horror universe. While the series’ success is at an all-time high, producer Peter Safran revealed in a recent interview that Wan is unlikely to return to the franchise. I don’t think he will [direct another Conjuring movie]. That’s just…
