In the 1990s, a time before the DCEU took control of DC’s catalogue of superhero characters, actor Nicolas Cage was once tapped to play Superman in a film titled Superman Lives. The production eventually fell apart, taking away Cage’s chances of ever playing the iconic hero. But that hasn’t kept him away entirely from the character – he’s managed to see and give his thoughts on the latest Justice League film! Variety managed to talk with the actor during his appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, where he opened up about seeing Justice League. “I did,” Cage told Variety when…

As any fan can tell you, most Halloween sequels after Halloween III: Season of the Witch can best be described as abominations against mankind. And until Halloween: Resurrection proved everyone wrong, most fans declared Halloween 6 the worst installment in the franchise. But as it turns out, a rejected script for the film could’ve given us something much, much worse. As we all know with the actual Halloween 6, the film tries to give Michael Myers an all-new backstory. It explains Michael’s desire to kill and immortality stems from an ancient cult, and the film ultimately ends when Paul Rudd (who…

As we await for more details on David Gordon Green’s upcoming Halloween movie, there’s plenty of speculation to be made now that the film is shooting. And a new casting call may have just unveiled the return of a very familiar location. According to Project Casting, the filmmakers are looking to cast for “criminally insane patients”, in particular “1 African American and Hispanic Male.” As we all know, Michael Myers lived most of his early life at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, so it’s possible this casting call means a return to the iconic mental hospital. It’ll be exciting to see how…

Most fans should be excited to hear that the Masters of the Universe reboot is finally happening! David S. Goyer’s take on the franchise is shooting this Spring, with a December 2019 release date scheduled! Goyer will be writing and directing the blockbuster epic, which will be exciting since his credentials have included some of the biggest films to come out in recent years including The Dark Knight trilogy. He’s been co-writing the script with Lindsey Beer, who’s written for the upcoming Godzilla vs Kong, as well as Barbie. She’s also been working in the writer’s room for whatever Quentin…

Audiences have been concerned with how director Joe Berlinger’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile is supposed to turn out. Most of the controversy especially stems from the fact that Zac Efron is starring as notorious serial killer Ted Bundy. And for people who were concerned with how that would work, we’ll soon have our answer as shooting starts tomorrow. But what’s interesting is that the perspective of the film will be told from Bundy’s girlfriend, Elizabeth Kloepfer, who Bundy hid his killings from for several years. In order to promote his role in the film, Efron took to Twitter…

John Carpenter is one of the biggest legends in the horror genre – and filmmaking in general, for that matter. He helped pioneer the slasher genre with Halloween in 1978, crafted one of action’s greatest anti-heroes with Escape From New York in 1981, and created one of the best remakes of all time with The Thing in 1982. These are only a handful of the accomplishments he made throughout his career. Today the horror master celebrates his 70th birthday – something that Rotten Tomatoes misunderstood and nearly scared his fans with. According to the review aggregator’s Twitter page, they thought…

Another rumor is here to add fuel to the fire about Ben Affleck leaving the Batman role behind, and this time it supports earlier stories about Jake Gyllenhaal taking on the mantle. The story comes from Revenge of the Fans, who says Warner Bros. is “sour on Ben Affleck”, and that assuming he leaves, “Jake is in”. This would be an interesting and possibly risky move because the site continues to claim that Matt Reeves’ upcoming Batman film will indeed be set in the DCEU. This means whatever Reeves does will still be canon with the other DC films, and…

Platinum Dunes attempted to remake and recreate the success of various horror properties in the early 2000s. The trend left a sour taste in audiences’ mouths, and most of the franchises have remained dormant ever since. Now try and compare their business model with a company called Blumhouse – the largest producer of horror titles right now. They create high concept films on low budgets and so far they’ve flourished because of it. This year they’ll be taking on the task of rebooting the Halloween franchise, and Blumhouse owner Jason Blum has unveiled his desire to reboot a similar slasher…

Thanks to a simple autograph, Marvel Stars Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan may have confirmed a major fan theory for Avengers: Infinity War. The theory is that Captain America has left behind his superhero identity following the events of Captain America: Civil War. The possibility gained interest when Evans was signing autographs at the Ace Comic Con in Glendale, AZ. He signed one fan’s shield with the name “Nomad”, and Stan followed it up by writing “I’m with Nomad”. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd6A2rHBRj3/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_legacy It makes sense that he’d go undercover after the events of Civil War. And in the trailer for Infinity War,…

The current anthology subgenre of horror owes a lot to Amicus, a production company out of Britain in the 1970s that spawned a lengthy series of gruesome anthology movies. In what could almost be considered an act of coming full circle, a new British anthology horror film called Ghost Stories is being produced, and it certainly looks enticing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6BZo6WiOX0&feature=youtu.be Ghost Stories is co-written, co-directed by, and co-stars Andy Nyman. Nyman plays a skeptical psychologist who investigates ghost sightings. His story acts as a wraparound for the three main segments of the flick. Marvel actor Martin Freeman stars as Mike Priddle,…
