The Anaconda film franchise has been around since 1997, and according to the latest report, it’s still showing no signs of slowing. In fact, a brand-new reimagining is set to take the Anaconda brand to an all-new level, with major Hollywood players Jack Black and Paul Rudd in talks to star. Interestingly, there seems to be a more comedic edge with this effort, as it will be a “meta” film. This makes sense when considering The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent director Tom Gormican is directing the Anaconda reboot, having additionally co-written the script with collaborator Kevin Etten. Here’s what…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become increasingly connected with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. The newly-released blockbuster established the existence of Wesley Snipes as Blade in the Multiverse, something which came as a major shock while Marvel Studios continues to develop their own take on Blade. Now, however, a new Blade movie with Wesley Snipes seems even more likely as Marvel reportedly moves away from Mahershala Ali. Actor Mahershala Ali has been attached to portray Blade in a new MCU movie for years now. He already voiced the character for a cameo in Eternals. Although as Marvel’s Blade continues…

Marvel Studios and Sony have been hard at work with developing Spider-Man 4. The success of Spider-Man: No Way Home and its predecessors has no doubt added plenty of pressure to making sure the MCU project turns out well. As such, it may be interesting to note a report that Sydney Sweeney is wanted to portray Black Cat in Spider-Man 4. This is interesting for a number of reasons. For one, Sydney Sweeney is a massive Hollywood star and she would no doubt make a terrific Black Cat, aka Felicia Hardy, for the MCU. Also worth noting, however, is that…

The John Wick franchise has been a surprisingly successful modern-day action brand. The first film, released in 2014, launched an entire shared universe that now spans both film and television. With four mainline entries, however, fans may be delighted to know that John Wick 5 is reportedly in the works. This report comes at a time when fans are already expecting a spin-off film, titled John Wick Presents: Ballerina with Ana de Armas in the title role, and another spin-off focusing on Donnie Yen’s character Caine. Of course, having Keanu Reeves lead another John Wick film himself is certainly a…

Amazon Prime, like many of its streaming peers, is dedicating to curating its platform. Unfortunately for many subscribers, that means they’ve had to watch their favorite shows get prematurely axed. Now another such fan-favorite series has been canceled by Amazon Prime Video after one season on their platform. It’s unfortunate because viewers really were praising the series, and as you might imagine, they’ve since taken to social media to complain. Of course, the streaming era can be quite vicious regarding what gets renewed and what doesn’t. Now, not even two months since the release of the series, Amazon Prime Video…

The Friday the 13th franchise is slowly being prepared for a major comeback. We’ve known for years that A24 and Peacock have been developing a new take for television. However, original showrunner Bryan Fuller was removed from the project, which left a void for someone else to fill. Now we know who the new Crystal Lake showrunner will be. Additionally, this showrunner has experience with handling major television productions based on major feature films. As such, he seems to be a perfect choice to bring the Friday the 13th franchise to a new audience and in a new medium. Here’s…

Studios have always been looking for a way to continue the Poltergeist franchise after the original trilogy ended in 1988. Talks of a fourth film were followed by a stand-alone series, Poltergeist: The Legacy in 1996, and a remake titled Poltergeist in 2015. Now, nearly a decade later, a new Poltergeist series is in the works from Amazon MGM. The series was previously announced to be in development, though now the series has two brand-new showrunners. They’ll also be acting as writers and executive producers on the highly-anticipated project. It’s said to be “inspired by the iconic 1982 horror film.”…

Disney Plus has had varying levels of success with their Star Wars shows. Their first effort, The Mandalorian, was immensely successful and it’s even paved the way for an upcoming film titled The Mandalorian & Grogu. Other shows, however, have had the opposite effect. In fact, it’s just been confirmed that The Acolyte has been canceled after a single season on the platform. The Acolyte has faced divisive responses from critics and fans alike since its release on Disney Plus. The storyline takes place about a century prior to the events of The Phantom Menace. As such, the series had…

Blake Lively stars in the upcoming movie It Ends With Us alongside Justin Baldoni. While the two play characters that are intended to have a great chemistry in the film, it turns out that events behind-the-scenes were quite different. In fact, Blake Lively reportedly felt “fat-shamed” by her co-star. The alleged “fat-shaming” occurred when the two were preparing to shoot a scene together. The scene required Baldoni to lift up Lively into the air. In order to prepare himself, given a reported history of back problems, it led him to ask his on-set trainer about Lively’s weight. Here’s how the…
