Warner Bros. has taken their brand of DC superhero and comic book films into an interesting new direction over the last few years. After the premiere of Justice League, the film where Joss Whedon took over for Zack Snyder, Warner Bros. forced their vision for DC into all new directions. This has resulted in a variety of popular DC films like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam – all of which focus on heroes without the likes of Superman, the character which was last seen played by Henry Cavill in Justice League. It seemed like Warner Bros. wanted to move away…

The path for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been an incredibly rough one. While James Gunn was temporarily outed as director, he did manage to make up with Marvel and return as the attached director for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. To make things more difficult, however, Gunn has been unable to work on the anticipated Marvel film due to his current dedication to DC and their film The Suicide Squad. Add the current Coronavirus pandemic to the list, and it’s no wonder why it’ll be a long time until we see the flick hitting theaters. In…

John Wick has quickly become one of the action genre’s biggest franchise hits over the last couple of years. With a fourth installment on the way along with several other projects, fans can’t seem to get enough of John Wick and its titular action hero played by actor Keanu Reeves. As it turns out, however, the John Wick series of films almost had a very different title – one which was apparently changed because of lead actor Keanu Reeves. As the story goes, it seems that the original title for John Wick was initially simply Scorn. While that does indeed…

Everything old is new again, as the saying goes, and that means we’re seeing revivals of two 1990’s classics – both with actress Neve Campbell – Scream and The Craft. While the upcoming Scream film is technically going to be Scream 5, and will likely see a return from actress Neve Campbell, it appears that she won’t be offering the same kind of support to Blumhouse’s upcoming remake of The Craft. In fact, while speaking with Collider, Neve Campbell emphasized how little interest she has in the remake or making an appearance in it. However, she was nice enough to…

It seems that almost everyone is familiar with the very popular origin story for one of Marvel’s biggest superheroes, Spider-Man. As the story goes, Spider-Man was originally normal student Peter Parker – until he crossed paths with a radioactive spider and received a bite that gave him superpowers. The story has been popularly retold through enough varying amounts of comics, books, movies, TV shows, video games, and cartoons that it seems to be etched deep into everyone’s minds. As such, for three unfortunate young brothers, they assumed that it would be possible to gain Spider-Man-esque powers themselves if they simply…

It isn’t a surprise that people like using the internet as a way to build support for any given type of movement. This is especially true for the pop culture community, where films and shows are always being canceled, altered, or some variation thereof. This was especially true in recent years with Justice League, which was ultimately finished by Joss Whedon after Zack Snyder was forced to leave the project. As a result, many fans started fighting to see the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League get an official release. Now, after years of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut making rounds online, Warner Bros.…

The 2018 film Halloween did a pretty solid job at acting as a direct followup to its 1978 counterpart, John Carpenter’s original classic Halloween. Of course, the 40 year gap between the two films paved way for plenty of questions yet to be answered. For example, while we know Laurie Strode eventually had her daughter named Karen and raised her – it’s yet to be known who exactly Karen’s father was. Well, until now, that is. Director David Gordon Green has now confirmed just who the father of Karen from Halloween 2018 really is. It’s something that many horror fans…

It’s been a pretty tough year in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. And although things are finally starting to open back up – for better or worse – Sony’s highly anticipated sequel to the original two Ghostbusters films, titled Ghostbusters: Afterlife, is sadly still delayed until next year in 2021. As such, it’s been kind of an unfortunate year for Ghostbusters fans. Although filmmaker Paul Feig – director of the 2016 Ghostbusters one-off – did share an interesting tidbit about his entry in the franchise. According to Feig, there’s actually a 3 and a half hour long director’s cut…
