The latest trailer for HBO’s upcoming Watchmen TV series premiered today at San Diego Comic-Con, and it promises an exciting return for our familiar vigilantes. Of course, the trailer also makes it a point to remind us that this won’t simply be another adaptation of the source material. Damon Lindelof’s series will take place in that same world – but it crafts an entirely new story around it. Here’s an interesting past statement from Lindelof’s Instagram account, which explains a little more of the mindset behind the production. “We have no desire to ‘adapt’ the twelve issues Mr. Moore and…

Many movie fans rejoiced when the trailer for Jay and Silent Bob Reboot finally hit. The footage not only promised a return from the titular characters and the iconic View Askewniverse which has been dormant since Clerks 2 was released in 2006, but also a return from Hollywood star Ben Affleck. It’s the reunion between Affleck and director/co-star Kevin Smith that really surprised fans when the trailer premiered. The two have had something of a distancing friendship over the last decade or so. Ben Affleck became a massive star and director between projects like playing Batman in Justice League and…

Stranger Things is continuing to be a monumental success for streaming platform Netflix – and, as expected, a fourth season of the series should be announced any day now. While we can safely assume that another season is indeed on the way – we have another reason for believing so. It turns out that Production Weekly has listed that Netflix will be targeting an October 2019 shoot for Stranger Things Season 4. If that information is to be trusted, it’d mean that the fourth season would likely be finished up in time for a Winter 2020 or Spring 2021 release…

Aside from director James Cameron’s involvement, one of the most obvious differences from his first two Terminator movies and the rest that followed, aside from Terminator 3, is that they all had PG-13 ratings whereas the first few films were R. Interestingly, in one of various ways that Terminator: Dark Fate will return to the franchise’s roots, is that it will be Rated R. It turns out that star Arnold Schwarzenegger himself is actually very excited about the R rating, and spoke about it during a Reddit AMA to promote the new film. The best takeaway, however, is how he…

IT: Chapter One was a massive success at the box office and helped reignite an interest in Stephen King’s bibliography as well as the titular and iconic killer clown. And because of this success, fans have been eager to see the continuation – IT: Chapter 2 – which adapts the other chunk of Stephen King’s massive horror epic. Interestingly, actress Jessica Chastain, who plays an adult Beverly Marsh in the film, has compared the sequel to another Stephen King flick. More specifically, she called it “Carrie on steroids.” Chastain made the comparison while at the Warner Bros. ScareDiego Event, stating,…

It’s not always surprising when an injury occurs on a movie set. While film productions do take many precautions to make sure that the cast and crew remain safe both off and on the camera – it sometimes doesn’t always work that way. Actor James McAvoy learned that while working on the set for IT: Chapter 2. The actor, who plays the adult version of Bill in the new movie, revealed the true extent of his mysterious injuries at Comic-Con. While he did make an Instagram post during production that he’d strained his thighs, it turns out that the injuries…

The Conjuring franchise continues to be extremely successful both at the box office and with audience members. The franchise recently saw the release of Annabelle Comes Home, the third spin-off featuring the titular modern horror icon Annabelle. And as what sometimes happens with these movies, there’s a rather disturbing story going around. Apparently a 77-year-old British man died while watching the film at the theater. Here’s what was initially reported by news outlet The Daily Mail: “Bernard Channing, a 77-year-old tourist from Gedling, Notts, had been to see Annabelle Comes Home last night while on holiday in Pattaya, Thailand. The woman…

In 1982 horror legends Stephen King and George A. Romero paired together to create one of the genre’s most influential anthology films – Creepshow. Now in 2019, the iconic horror franchise is back as a television series with six episodes and twelve segments total. Shudder and The Walking Dead’s executive producer Greg Nicotero will bring us this new series, and today they’ve unveiled the first trailer! The series is already lining up to be a massive hit with horror fans, as you can see from some of the cast they have lined up – Adrienne Barbeau, Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Davison,…

The horror genre has seen some hefty legal battles and issues in recent years. They’ve essentially locked away the Friday the 13th franchise, allowed MGM to remake Child’s Play, confused everyone about Miramax, and now 2017’s IT adaptation is caught up in the entanglement. Apparently, producers involved in the 1990 miniseries adaptation are trying for a share of the profit. The basis of the lawsuit is that the 1990 miniseries producers Frank Konigsberg and Larry Sanitsky were contractually entitled to be a part of any “sequel, series, remake, or spinoff” based on the 1990 miniseries. The duo filed the lawsuit…

Many fans of the hit series The Walking Dead have been looking forward each year to Comic-Con, where AMC has annually released trailers for each new season. This year’s Comic-Con is no exception, and AMC has released a brand new trailer for the tenth season of The Walking Dead!
