The series is said to be in “early development” at Amazon MGM Studios, with the knowledge that the series “will be set within the world of the film.” Other details regarding the project are scarce, though it’s been stated that Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey will executive produce on behalf of Amblin Television.

Joe Dante’s 1984 horror comedy Gremlins never spawned much of a franchise. In addition to a tremendous amount of tie-in merchandise, there’s been one live-action sequel, and an additional animated series on Max. Other than that, however, the brand has remained dormant. What some fans might not know, however, is that Gremlins actually appears to be part of a larger shared universe of films. As mentioned, the core Gremlins franchise consists of Gremlins, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, and the animated series Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai. But it’s during the final few minutes of the original film that something…

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe progresses, both with movies and television, the timeline has become increasingly complex. Nevertheless, Disney Plus has done a great job at keeping fans up-to-date, by organizing its content offerings in a chronological timeline. However, they recently made one notable timeline correction with a Phase 4 MCU title. Fans have often debated the chronological setting of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The previous MCU timeline indicated that it took place after the events of Phase 3’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. Now, however, it looks like that’s no longer the case. It’s now clear…

The Planet of the Apes movie franchise was successfully rebooted in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Now Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will continue the story as revealed in the film’s first trailer from 20th Century Studios. The film is set to take place years after the events of War for the Planet of…

Stephen King’s stories and their respective adaptations have long entertained horror fans looking for a good scare. Fortunately, Stephen King has also been good about offering recommendations outside of his work, and now he’s suggesting fans watch an “excellent” horror movie – that he also called the “spiritual ancestor” to films like Hereditary and The Wicker Man. Of course, someone might already assume that The Wicker Man would be the spiritual predecessor to Hereditary. But Stephen King is going back a bit further for this particular recommendation. In fact, the Pet Sematary author is suggesting that fans check other none…

Stephen King’s iconic novel Pet Sematary has been adapted for the screen several times over the decades. Of course, the original 1989 adaptation remains one of the most popular iterations, and even one of the more popular movies based on Stephen King’s work. Now the “famous Pet Sematary truck” has been beautifully restored for Halloween. The truck, a custom Peterbilt 378, was used in one of the film’s most tragic scenes. Fans will recall the moment when young Gage Creed runs into the road where the Peterbilt is speeding through. Sadly, Gage is killed, and the real plot of the…

The MCU is pushing forward with the upcoming theatrical release of The Marvels. Nevertheless, a new trailer for the movie might’ve just spoiled the return of a major Marvel Cinematic Universe villain. The Marvels is set after the events of Avengers movies Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Both films revolved around Thanos and his decision to snap away half of all life in the universe. Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, as with many other superheroes at the time, suffered quite a bit of trauma as a result. Now The Marvels will dive into that trauma as it develops her character…

The addition of social media to the entertainment industry has certainly had its influence. Unfortunately, a new report claims that HBO boss Casey Bloys actually had staff members create fake Twitter accounts to troll critics. This report, as shared via Rolling Stone, claims the events took place between June 2020 and April 2021. The publication claims to have had at least six different text messages between Bloys and SVP of drama programming Kathleen McCaffrey where they’d used burner accounts to harshly respond to TV critics after they gave negative reviews to HBO shows. Additionally, the texts were both reviewed and…
