The Suicide Squad is already shaping up to be quite different from its predecessor. While fans weren’t sure if the film would use certain characters from the original, particularly Will Smith’s Deadshot, it does appear that Deadshot will be in the movie. But not the Will Smith version. Rather, the character will be brought to life by actor Idris Elba. Idris Elba is now the only official cast member attached to the movie. Although we know Will Smith is no longer involved, it’s unknown if any other cast members from the first Suicide Squad will return or be replaced. This…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has mainly only had one weakness since Iron Man created the franchise – Disney had mostly chosen not to go into R-rated territory with their large array of characters. While they started to delve in that area with their original Netflix content like Daredevil or The Punisher, it only led fans to wonder if they would ever begin making R-rated movies like their Fox counterparts. Now that Disney is acquiring Fox, it seems like the answer is they’ll indeed begin producing R-rated content. One character fans have wondered about for a while who fits the R-Rated…

Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke is set to shoot the pilot for CW’s upcoming The Lost Boys TV series.

The new cast members for the series include Sarah Hay (Flesh and Bone), Cheyenne Haynes (Camping) and Haley Tju (Bella and the Bulldogs).

Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters 3 is quickly shaping up to be an exciting project for fans of the iconic franchise. While there’s no word on if any members of the original cast will return, it is expected that the original Ghostbusters will show up. After all, we did get to see their Ecto-1 in Sony’s teaser trailer. One of the changes we do know about, however, is that the new film will introduce new characters including a focus on a small family. The cast for the family unit hasn’t been officially announced, but it’s been rumored by Variety that Finn Wolfhard…

As many horror fans know by now, the Friday the 13th franchise is in the middle of a horrible series of lawsuits. The original film’s writer, Victor Miller, had been battling to receive rights to characters he helped create like Jason Voorhees and his mother. After successfully winning the legal battle, previous rights holder Sean Cunningham retaliated – and submitted a notice of intent to appeal. Thus the rights were back in legal turmoil. However, it looks like there’s been at least one major change since that last update. Sean Cunningham has recently withdrawn his appeal, according to horror YouTuber…

A new Gremlins project has been in and out of the works for decades now. Writer Chris Columbus is currently working on his treatment for a new movie which aims to take the franchise in new, darker directions. And while we still await updates on that – the franchise will be making a comeback on the small screen. That’s right, Gremlins will be getting a new animated TV series set for the currently unnamed WarnerMedia streaming service. According to Variety, the animated series will function as a prequel to Joe Dante’s original 1984 movie. It’ll show how Mr. Wing, the…

The Lost Boys is officially being remade, this time as a TV series on The CW. Aside from characters like the Frog Brothers being gender swapped, it seems like most of the movie’s core elements will remain intact in the upcoming pilot episode. And according to Deadline, the pilot will be directed by none other than Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke. It’s a stunning move, considering how vastly different Twilight was compared to the original The Lost Boys. But in today’s pop culture, it seems a lesser brand of vampire is more acceptable. As for the pilot’s cast, not all have…

RoboCop is back, not yet for another movie, but in a new series of insane commercials for KFC. That’s right, the iconic cyborg super cop is now a mascot for a fast food chain. Now KFC is no stranger to making weird marketing decisions and casting new actors and celebrities to represent Colonel Sanders. But RoboCop is an entirely different story, giving rise to a marketing campaign that isn’t just likely to go viral but also draw in fans of a decades old cult franchise. A good decision for whoever came up with it indeed. The advertisements go from amusing…

Many Kaiju fans are excited to see Godzilla return to the big screen in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. And while we await anxiously to see him fight off King Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra – it won’t be his last battle. The Japanese monster icon has already been announced for a crossover movie with King Kong in Godzilla vs. Kong, one that follows the events of Kong: Skull Island. While we were expecting to see Godzilla vs. Kong arrive in May 2020, it looks like the release date is being changed for the better. It’s being moved up to March…
