One of the most important and incredible eras the horror genre had to offer was during Universal’s cycle of iconic monster movies. The franchise has been popular enough that Universal has continually tried to reboot it over the last few years to a variety of disappointing results – culminating with The Mummy which seemed to have put the final nail in the coffin for Universal’s proposed “Dark Universe”. Now, just ahead of the release of The Invisible Man (which isn’t connected to the Dark Universe), Universal Chairwoman Donna Langley has gone on record to explain how the Dark Universe was…

One of the biggest events so far in the year 2020 has been the Coronavirus – an outbreak which began in China and has killed more than 1,000 people globally. According to scientists, however, it appears the virus actually appears to have originated from outer space. In fact, one scientist is claiming that it actually came to Earth from a meteorite which hit China last year. It seems that the meteorite broke off from part of a comet in space that was carrying the particles which eventually became the Coronavirus. Here’s what Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, of the Buckingham Centre for…

One of the most popular film franchises still to this day is the Planet of the Apes series, which recently spawned a rather successful trilogy of films. The three movies – Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes – were all produced under Fox before the company was sold to Disney. Obviously such a major franchise would be of great importance to Disney as they’d be eager to make back money on their investment – and indeed plans were announced to reboot Planet of the…

It’s very unclear what state the Friday the 13th franchise is in. Unfortunately for fans of the iconic series of violent slasher movies, the Friday the 13th title has been the subject of various lawsuits between original screenwriter Victor Miller and Sean Cunningham & Horror Inc. However, just before these lawsuits put a stop to everything Friday the 13th related, you may remember not only was a new movie in development but a TV series as well. While the film was intended to be produced by Platinum Dunes under Paramount, the TV series dubbed Crystal Lake Chronicles was being shopped…

It has certainly been a good time to be a fan of Spider-Man over the last couple of years. Fans were finally able to see the iconic comic book superhero merge with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War, which paved the way for his alone connected standalone movies Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home. But now things are getting even more fascinating, as it seems the upcoming films Morbius and Venom 2 – based on villains from the Spider-Man comics – are connecting with the heroic webslinger and the MCU as well. It was previously unexpected…

At a time when the classic works of John Carpenter continue to be an influential part of pop culture, it comes as no surprise that his iconic film Escape from New York has been targeted for the reboot craze. As you may remember, filmmaker Leigh Whannell was previously attached to write the script for an Escape from New York remake, and while he hasn’t been confirmed as director for the project, talks have been ongoing about who could be playing the next Snake Plissken. Kurt Russell originally played Snake Plissken in both Escape from New York and Escape from LA,…

One of the more surprising projects that Blumhouse has been working on is a reboot of The Craft, a film that was previously met with several failed reboot attempts. The fact that it’s finally happening, this time from Blumhouse, has finally been cemented in a new interview with Blumhouse producer Jason Blum where he revealed the film has in fact finished shooting. While speaking with Too Fab about a variety of Blumhouse projects, he explained that The Craft is one he has yet to see but that it has finished shooting. He intends to finally see the film within the…

While fans are finally getting a standalone Batman movie with The Batman, the film will see actor Robert Pattinson as the titular character rather than the familiar Ben Affleck who has played the Dark Knight the last few years. While it hasn’t been clear why exactly Ben Affleck decided to finally give up the cowl and move on from playing Batman, it turns out that Justice League is to blame. Ben Affleck finally spoke up in a new interview and cited the movie’s infamous string of production issues as the reason why he no longer wanted in the DCEU. As…

The domestic abuse allegations between star Johnny Depp and his ex-wife actress Amber Heard have only escalated since audio recordings between the two have leaked and gone viral. While things looked bad for Johnny Depp at first, costing him his role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, things have now turned against Amber Heard. And a new statement from Johnny Depp’s defamation lawsuit may only continue to destroy the reputation of Amber Heard – especially now that Johnny Depp is claiming she allegedly defecated on his bed. The aforementioned statement was made when Johnny Depp…
