Disney has been revisiting many of its properties, either producing sequels or even remakes of its many animated films. In fact, 2019 will include remakes of Aladdin, Dumbo, and even The Lion King. And the trend isn’t stopping there. It’s reportedly being stated that Disney may be looking to remake The Nightmare Before Christmas in live-action form, or at the very least devise a sequel. The report comes from MovieHole, who writes: There’s talk at Disney to “do something with “Nightmare Before Christmas” – probably a sequel but live-action possible” we’ve been informed (the tip comes from someone who has given Moviehole…

Halloween 5 happens to be one of those peculiarities of the Halloween franchise. While it’s nothing as drastic as Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers with its alternate theatrical and producer cuts, it’s worth noting Halloween 5 similarly had quite a bit of footage cut. Unfortunately for fans, the footage was seemingly lost or at least never released. But now after decades of wondering, it’s been announced that work is being done to uncover the lost footage. The news comes from Compass International Pictures & Trancas International Films’ official HalloweenMovies.com account, which revealed their editor Sean Decker is the…

Shudder, the streaming service for horror fans, has finally announced that shooting is beginning for their first long-form original series – a new show based on George Romero and Stephen King’s Creepshow. The series is prepping to shoot in Atlanta, Georgia, with Greg Nicotero executive producing. The series is set to have a first season of six episodes, with stories adapted not just from Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, but other iconic writers as well, including: “By the Silvery Waters of Lake Champlain” by Joe Hill (NOS4A2) “House of the Head” by Josh Malerman (Bird Box) “The Companion”…

Despite the fact the Child’s Play franchise is getting a remake from MGM, the original franchise is still going strong. It was recently revealed that Syfy would be hosting a new TV series from franchise co-creator Don Mancini. It was also stated that Channel Zero creator Nick Antosca would be joining Mancini to work on the series after their collaboration on Channel Zero. Now in an interview with /Film regarding The Act, Antosca will still able to let a few Child’s Play details slide. According to him, “The working title is Chucky,” Antosca said. “That could change, but that’s the…

American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis is no stranger to speaking his mind. Now he’s being vocal about Black Panther – one of the latest Marvel movies and one that’s already being nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Ellis suggests the film isn’t being nominated for its quality, but rather the attempt at being diverse for Hollywood. Ellis talked all about it in the 100th episode of his “B.E.E. Podcast”, informing his listeners with a rather interesting perspective. “No superhero movie has ever gotten a Best Picture nomination. But believe me, Disney is doing everything in its power to…

Earlier this week, a rumor broke that a Batman Beyond movie was in development – apparently though, that is not the case. No, there is NO BATMAN BEYOND movie in development! Their official word is “Not true. We are not working on an animated Batman Beyond movie.” In fact, to be extra sure, it was checked & shot down at Warner Animation Group on feature side, DC FILMS, & WB Animation on TV side. pic.twitter.com/fei3bczq0F — Umberto Gonzalez (@elmayimbe) February 1, 2019 The news initially came from Geeks Worldwide, who said Warner Bros. and DC were planning the film for…

It looks like Stephen King’s The Stand is finally getting a new adaptation. The news comes from THR, who reports that it will air on CBS All Access with a whole ten episodes to tell the story. “The drama has received a 10-episode order at the subscription video on demand platform,” as explained by the site. It’s shocking to finally see some progress made. There’s been several attempts in the past since the original miniseries aired to get a feature screen adaptation of The Stand going. Finally Josh Boone was supposed to direct a feature film interpretation, but now it…

Universal has been working on a new adaptation of the incredibly popular Doom video game franchise. The property was previously adapted in 2005, but did negatively with fans. While a decent cast led the movie, it was bogged down by a weak script and an attempt to distance itself from the games’ references to Hell and demons. Now Universal’s upcoming adaptation seems to be rectifying those issues, and to keep up with the high expectations they’ve delayed the film to put more focus on its special effects. More specifically, according to Dread Central, the CGI involved with its Hell sequence.…

Escape Room has been a nice little success for Sony, and now it seems they want to duplicate that success with their Grudge reboot. They shifted it out of its mid-2019 release date and are now prepping to release the flick in January 2020, in a time slot similar to Escape Room. While I appreciate their attempt to strategize, I wouldn’t take it as a move of confidence. January has almost always been a dump month for lackluster horror movies. The Bye Bye Man, Texas Chainsaw 3D, you name it. The only thing they’re doing is making it sound almost…

The new Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody directed by Bryan Singer has been a hit with critics. But now after the film has earned four Oscar nominations, four new allegations of sexual misconduct have come to light. The news comes from The Atlantic, who has published a year-long investigation into allegations against Singer. The article is loaded with dozens of sources and four new accusers. Singer has already responded to the article, however, and gave a statement to his attorney Andrew Brettler. As he suggested, the article was “written by a homophobic journalist who has a bizarre obsession with me dating…
