It’s just been newly announced by Disney Parks that the Splash Mountain location featured in both Disneyland and Disney World will be updated with a completely new theme inspired by The Princess and the Frog. The announcement comes from the official Disney Parks Twitter account, and as you can see down below, they even shared an interesting piece of concept art for the upcoming attraction. They also included the following caption: “We’re thrilled to share Splash Mountain at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will be completely reimagined with a new story inspired by an all-time favorite Disney Animation film, The…

It goes without saying that The Last of Us Part 2, otherwise known as The Last of Us 2, was an incredibly anticipated followup to The Last of Us, and this goes a step further considering how positively critics were reacting to the game. While things were looking good at first following the game’s launch, it turns out that’s not the case. In fact, many video games fans that played The Last of Us Part 2 have turned against the game – viciously tearing it apart on its own associated subreddit, r/TheLastOfUs2. It’s been an interesting time to follow the…

Many audiences have been excited for HBO Max so that they could watch South Park, no doubt one of the most popular adult animated shows to exist. However, it also happens to be one of the most controversial animated shows to have existed as well – or controversial in general, for that matter. Especially when South Park featured Islam’s Prophet Muhammad in a season 14 episode of the show. Now it appears that that particular episode from South Park, along with four others, will be removed from HBO Max. It isn’t too surprising, considering that the season 14 episode of…

It shouldn’t be surprising that fans would want Kevin Bacon to have a chance at playing popular A Nightmare on Elm Street antagonist Freddy Krueger. The legendary cinematic villain became a pop culture icon after his first theatrical appearance in 1984, beginning with Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. Robert Englund was cast in the role and he stayed as the character for seven sequels and even a TV anthology series. As such, it was difficult to see Robert Englund leave the role due to his increasing age – a move that, along with the remake trend, led to…

The 1988 horror comedy film Killer Klowns From Outer Space has remained a cult classic ever since it was released decades ago, something that the directors – the Chiodo Brothers – can be thanked for. The brothers are also responsible for having written and produced the film, as well as creating its tremendous special effects. But what else could you expect from the effects artists behind the original four films of the Critters franchise? What’s also worth mentioning, however, is that Killer Klowns From Outer Space actually has a super high kill count. While the film is only rated PG-13,…

It usually already takes a long time for Netflix to release a new season of Stranger Things, and it seems that wait will now be even longer since the Coronavirus pandemic halted production of Season 4. While things are unclear regarding when production will get back underway for the highly anticipated series, there has been a little tease that it could be soon. A new image taken from the Stranger Things writing room has revealed 9 total scripts – which seems to imply that Season 4 of the show will have a 9 episode count, much like the second season…

While there have been quite a few Alien films released since Alien: Resurrection hit theaters 23 years ago, none of them have actually directly continued the story of those original four films, or their protagonist Ellen Ripley (or Ripley 8 from Alien: Resurrection, if you want to get specific). With that said, however, it seems producer Walter Hill actually has a script treatment for a direct sequel – Alien 5 – which would bring Sigourney Weaver back as Ripley for the first time in decades. Although Sigourney Weaver didn’t sound particularly enthusiastic about the project when she revealed the treatment’s existence,…

Alongside the likes of Goosebumps, there was actually another popular book series from Scholastic which engraved itself into the memories of 90’s kids everywhere – Animorphs. Now, much like how the Goosebumps franchise recently received its first film adaptation a few years ago, it appears that an Animorphs movie is now on the way as well! The news was revealed by THR, where they explained that Scholastic and Picturestart would be co-developing and co-producing the movie based on the popular book series together. While there is no word yet on who will be writing or directing the upcoming Animorphs film, we…

Audiences unfortunately still have to wait before the new Candyman film will finally be released. In the meantime, the film’s director Nia DaCosta has shared a really interesting video on her Twitter account. It’s a creative depiction of Candyman and his origin regarding how he became the legend he is today. As you can see in the footage posted below, the video was created uniquely by paper puppets. Of course, what’s even more interesting, is that Candyman isn’t the only character in the origin video. It actually mixes in several other modern examples of racism and how many black people…

The year is 2020, and it seems many people are on the lookout for anything with “outdated attitudes, language,” as well as “cultural depictions which may cause offence today”. At least, that’s the case with the UK TV channel Sky Cinema who began using the above warning. The channel decided to include the warning with a wide variety of films after HBO Max removed Gone with the Wind from their catalogue due to criticisms of racism with its depiction of slavery. Meanwhile Sky Cinema decided to include this warning with many different films, including James Cameron’s action/horror classic Aliens, the…
