One of the most anticipated sequels to hit this year isn’t your average superhero or sci-fi blockbuster continuation – but rather a revival of one of the action genre’s biggest characters. Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo is tapped to return in Rambo: Last Blood, which is set to conclude the First Blood franchise in epic style. Although Stallone has been teasing images from the movie ever since shooting began, fans have been anxious to see how the actual film would end up looking. After all, Rambo is a special character – and audiences are hopeful that he’ll be treated in such…

There’s been plenty of uncertainty regarding the Alien franchise over recent years. Many fans have considered Alien: Covenant to be the final nail in the coffin for Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel series, both because of its lukewarm reception and Disney’s acquisition of Fox which owns the Alien franchise. But in a new report focusing on Alien, it seems that Disney in fact still has plans for “a third prequel, which [Ridley Scott] will direct, is in the script phase.” It does fit in with what Ridley Scott had to say earlier this month about continuing the franchise: “The alien [origin…

It seems every time we hear about Todd McFarlane’s Spawn reboot, the project just gets further and further away from happening. Although it was somewhat recently announced that Blumhouse would be involved with the project, and many fans assumed a new Spawn movie was a surefire thing, it seems that’s not at all the case. According to ComicBook, Todd McFarlane’s Spawn project is becoming increasingly more unlikely to ever happen. The reason being? McFarlane doesn’t want to give away his screenplay or right to direct to anyone who’s willing to change too much of his vision. And, in Hollywood, that’s…

Many fans are eager to see the outcome of Terminator: Dark Fate, which sees James Cameron return to the franchise he once created. Although he’s only acting as producer, Cameron is still claiming to help bring the franchise back to its critically acclaimed roots – including the R-rating the original films were known for. Here’s what James Cameron said in a recent interview: “I think, tonally, what makes this a direct sequel to T1 and T2 is as much about the tone as it is about the narrative: it’s R rated, it’s grim, it’s gritty, it’s fast, it’s intense, it’s…

Many fans were interested in seeing what Paramount had to offer for a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. At least, that was until they saw the trailer for the movie – something that triggered so much backlash the character had to be redesigned. That’s right, for once the studio and filmmakers decided to listen to the fans. Whether that’s good or bad is another question, but let’s be honest – there’s no way Sonic’s design could get worse, is there? In any case, the drastic move made by the studio means the film will have to be delayed. While it…

Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House was a major hit for Netflix last year, and as you’d expect, a second season is in the works. Although this time they’ll be dropping the Hill House storyline in favor of adapting author Henry James’ novel The Turn of the Screw – titling the new season The Haunting of Bly Manor in the process. Actor Oliver Jackson-Cohen was recently questioned regarding the new season of the series, which he answered: “I will get shot if I ever answer that question.” He was also asked if he’d be showing up in the new…

Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe had their first major finale with Avengers: Endgame, the franchise is still going strong with Spider-Man: Far From Home coming to theaters next. While fans eagerly anticipate the next phase of superheroes to pop up across the MCU, many are curious how Disney will be incorporating their newly-acquired X-Men characters thanks to purchasing Fox. One character in particular, Ryan Reynolds’ popular Deadpool, is especially a priority for Disney. Although Deadpool is one of the more mature characters that Marvel has to offer, that isn’t stopping Disney from wanting to bring the successful character into their…

Although there aren’t too many details unveiled at the moment, it appears Sony’s Playstation Productions is gearing up to produce a television series based on their Twisted Metal game property. The series was officially confirmed for development by Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra during an investor relations presentation. Here’s what he said: “We have a TV show we just agreed to get underway that will be developed from the IP on PlayStation,” Vinciquerra said of the project. “It’s called Twisted Metal. It’s a game that was put out many years ago and we’re going to develop a…

As we’ve already learned, a new sequel to the modern horror hits The Collector and The Collection is currently in the works. While it was originally announced as The Collector 3, it seems the film has now been titled The Collected – an appropriate title that not only fits in with the name scheme, but was also the title reported years ago before preproduction began. The film will once more see writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, while Dunstan is once again directing the project. Here’s what they’ve promised: “The Collected is going to triple down on the grit and suspense…

Although the official continuity of Friday the 13th films is currently dead in the water, that hasn’t stopped fans from taking matters into their own hands. After the success of fan films like Never Hike Alone, which proved that a dedicated fan could make an honest and true Friday the 13th movie of their own – many other fans have attempted taking similar steps to keeping the franchise’s legacy alive. The latest fan film attempt is titled Jason Rising, and creators James Sweet, Karl Whinnery, and Robert Blanche are using Indiegogo to make it happen. The team are aiming for…
