The lawsuit involving Johnny Depp and the Sun over the accusations made by Amber Heard has escalated to another interesting new level. As it turns out, Amber Heard’s ex-assistant Kate James has now made some heavy accusations against Amber Heard, and she’s insisted that Heard has actually broken the law on several occasions. According to Kate James, who spoke in front of the London High Court, she had actually been assaulted at one time in her life via knifepoint while on a trip to Brazil. And after James took a gander at some of the legal documents being used during the…

Unfortunately as we all know, for Godzilla and King Kong fans alike, the upcoming MonsterVerse crossover Godzilla vs. Kong has been delayed until 2021.

Nevertheless, the occasional image or sneak peek has leaked here and there, and now it appears to have happened yet again. As you can see down below, the images come from a variety of new toy pictures. What’s more, they also give us our first look at one of the…

It goes without saying that the novel IT is easily one of the most iconic works that horror author Stephen King has ever published. A large part of that is due to the iconography of the novel’s titular creature, which generally takes the form of a clown named Pennywise. The book has been famously adapted as both a 1990 miniseries and two films, the first of which was released in 2017 and the other in 2019. Interestingly, in all versions of IT, Pennywise is shown either holding or standing near bunches of balloons. In the film adaptations, however, the balloons…

As we all know by now, the Coronavirus pandemic has had a massive impact on the entertainment industry. Many film and television productions were forced to shut down in an effort to maintain social distancing. Likewise, movie theaters and other such public places of business had to enforce social distancing guidelines and were forced to similarly shut down. This has had a dire effect on the industry as a whole, with many productions and releases being pushed back into 2021 if not released digitally. Obviously Disney was especially effected by this, considering the vast amount of films they were hoping…

The Home Alone franchise has somehow managed to survive for a variety of direct-to-video films after actor Macauley Culkin decided to leave the series following Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

According to some new reports, via ComicBook,…

The Child’s Play franchise has shown its ability to adapt and change with the times ever since the first film was released in 1988. We’ve gotten the original trilogy in which all three films closely followed the same formula. Bride of Chucky spiced things up in 1998 for the franchise’s tenth anniversary when they introduced secondary antagonist Tiffany Valentine, alongside a dose of self-referential humor inspired by the success of Scream. Seed of Chucky nearly took that humor too far, and the course was corrected with Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky years later via two direct-to-video continuations. Now…

One could compare the ocean to outer space, considering the vast amounts of both areas that remain to be explored. And although we haven’t yet discovered life in the outer regions of space, humanity has frequently discovered new types of life under the ocean. Sometimes it might even resemble cinema’s greatest interpretations of aliens. This is one of those cases – as scientists have discovered a new type of sponge that eerily resembles the alien from the beloved movie, E.T. The underwater sea creatures are actually a type of sponge, one which was initially discovered in 2016. They were labeled…

Although the Skywalker Saga has officially concluded with Disney’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it looks like we might not have seen the last of key character Anakin Skywalker. In fact, a new rumor suggests that actor Hayden Christensen could be returning as Anakin Skywalker for the upcoming Disney Plus series that’s being focused on Obi-Wan Kenobi. While this is still just a rumor, as pointed out by LRM Online, it would make sense for Hayden Christensen to make an appearance as Anakin Skywalker, a role he played for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Revenge…

It’s been nothing short of fascinating to see The Lost Boys grow in popularity over the years. At one point, the movie was a stand-alone film for decades. Then in 2008, after the release of the rather divisive Lost Boys: The Tribe, the franchise continued to expand. We received a second sequel titled Lost Boys: The Thirst and two separate comic book series. Since then, we’ve had multiple different plans for a Lost Boys TV series, and now it appears there are even plans for a Lost Boys musical which would act as a prequel to the original 1987 film.…
