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…

It seems films and franchises of every genre have been attempting to emulate Marvel’s success with their cinematic universe. One series has undoubtedly succeeded at that attempt, and it’s none other than James Wan’s The Conjuring franchise. We’re already up to our necks with two Annabelle movies, and Annabelle 3 already on the way. The fan-favorite doll will be creeping up in a new installment that’s being moved up to a new release date. Instead of premiering on July 3, it’s being moved up to June 28, 2019. The sixth film in The Conjuring Universe will finally place Annabelle back…

The Lost Boys is one of the most celebrated vampire movies of the 1980’s. While it’s received two straight-to-video sequels in 2008 and 2010, the franchise has since been very quiet. While most fans would’ve preferred another movie (ideally one that would reunite the surviving original cast members) it seems a TV series reboot is instead in the cards. It was announced that The CW would air the series, which is stated to come from Rob Thomas and Heather Mitchell. While there isn’t much else known regarding plot or story details, there was recently a big scoop from Collider’s podcast…

The Child’s Play franchise is easily one of the most iconic film series in the horror genre, if not all time. As such, it’s a big thing that the original film is being remade. And fans have been asking one major question since its announcement – “What exactly will Chucky look like?” Well, we may have just gotten an answer. The image comes from @MoviesOnTheWay, who claim to have found it floating through the vast space of Instagram. As you can see, it could potentially just be a photoshopped image of a previously released teaser image where a portion of…

Art the Clown has quickly become something of an icon for the modern horror genre. After first appearing in the 2013 anthology film All Hallows’ Eve, the character was given his very own movie titled Terrifier in 2018. Now the character’s creator, Damian Leone, is teasing Terrifier 2! He’s just finished the screenplay, and as stated on his Facebook account, “For everyone who’s anxiously awaiting news regarding a Terrifier sequel, I can finally tell you that I’ve completed the screenplay and it is &%$#!*@ INSANE! Unfortunately, this is the only confirmation I can give right now but rest assured we’re…

Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 is being adapted into a new TV series for AMC. Now we have our first look at footage from the show, and while it doesn’t show much regarding how the series will turn out, it does hint at the atmosphere. And it’s incredibly eerie. Quite possibly the footage will be used for the show’s opening, as it seems to be the kind of material AMC likes for their intros. But either way it’s a good sign for things to come. There’s also a slew of new images showing off each of the main characters. See the cast…

Breaking Bad may have ended way back in 2013, but the franchise it spawned is still going strong. For example, the show’s prequel series Better Call Saul is still airing on AMC and it’s currently preparing to air its fifth season. It was also revealed that there would be a Breaking Bad movie, one that would follow the events of the 2013 finale. The movie was announced last fall, and it was stated that the focus would be on Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman. While Bryan Cranston was initially unavailable due to his schedule, that may no longer be the case.…
