While we did get some spots at the Super Bowl, this first official trailer gives a much better idea of the movie. As you can see in…

And to raise the hype factor even more, they’re now releasing new clips from the movie. One such scene shows a key moment when Louis Creed comes across Church, his unfortunately resurrected cat, and it gives a sinister vibe all throughout. In the original novel, Church was the first being to be resurrected in the Micmac Burial Ground by Louis. As such, it sets the stage for things to come, both narratively and via foreshadowing. Those familiar with the book and…

The announcement that Get Out and Us director Jordan Peele would be producing a reboot of the Candyman franchise was immediately well-received by fans.

While the original adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary from 1989 is still deeply beloved, the upcoming remake from Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer remains highly anticipated by fans. Especially after the great reviews it’s been getting. And much like the successful original movie quickly received a follow-up in 1992, it’s apparently likely the new movie will get a follow-up depending on how well it does. But unlike the original film, it looks as though this Pet Sematary would be getting a prequel. According to the film’s producer in a new interview, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, “I generally don’t start thinking…

The Scooby-Doo franchise has seen no shortage of feature-length movies. This includes the endless home-video releases beginning in 1998 with Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and even live-action attempts like Daphne & Velma. But the last theatrical release happened way back in 2004, with Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Now Warner Bros. is finally working on another theatrical adaptation of the iconic franchise – but this time it isn’t going to be another live-action flick.
