As mentioned by a new report from Citi analysts, President Donald Trump’s corporate tax cut has increased the likelihood of a Netflix buyout from Apple. This was more easily explained by Business Insider, who explains that the tax cut will come “along with a one-time allowance for companies to repatriate cash stored overseas without worrisome hits”. This would allow Apple with enough money to purchase Netflix. In fact, Apple would only need “a third” of their $252 billion, most of which is stored under foreign jurisdiction. According to Citi analysts: “The firm has too much cash – nearly $250 billion…

Barbara Broccoli, known for producing the 007 James Bond films, has announced that there is indeed a possibility for a female or black actor to land the the role of Bond once Daniel Craig leaves the scene. Broccoli was discussing the franchise with Daily Mail when she was asked by viewers if we “could expect to see a female Bond or a black 007” after Craig. Her response was quite interesting. “These films tend to reflect the times so we always try to push the envelope a little bit,” she answered. “Anything is possible. Right now it’s Daniel Craig, and…

The new home video release of IT movie comes out this month, and most fans are excited for the deleted scenes announced to come with the film. While Andy Muschietti’s Director’s Cut should be out in another few months, it’ll still be fun to see what was removed from the film. We already got to see the “alternate” opening for the film, and a leaked copy of the alternate ending, but now a scene with Henry Bowers and his two friends has been unveiled. Here’s how it was described by an Australian fan who recently gave summaries of all the…

We already know from previous concept art releases that Cate Blanchett’s character Hela had plenty of design variations throughout the production of Thor: Ragnarok. Now, according to Andy Park, Marvel’s Visual Development Supervisor, Hela was at one point even supposed to wear a mourning well. It apparently went through several different interpretations before being removed completely. There’s also plenty of other differences that you can catch between the concept drawings, including several capes that all differ from the final product found in the film. There’s one that appears more feathery, and one that matches her helmet from the film. It’s…

Many film fans have been cynical in regards to the modern moviegoing experience. It seems like actress Jodie Foster is no different, as she goes as far as blaming the entire superhero genre for ruining the modern style of film. According to Foster during a new interview with Telegraph: “Going to the movies has become like a theme park. Studios making bad content in order to appeal to the masses and shareholders is like fracking – you get the best return right now but you wreck the earth.” Foster then decided to target the superhero genre. “It’s ruining the viewing…

The upcoming Han Solo prequel, Solo: A Star Wars Story, is only five months away, and little to nothing is known about the project. With such secrecy revolving a film about one of the most iconic movie characters of all time, fans have been begging for more details. Now, a dedicated Reddit fan may have picked out the galaxy’s most feared bounty hunter in a behind the scenes image. This image goes all the way back to September, when director Ron Howard stepped in to reshoot and complete the film after Phil Lord and Chris Miller were removed from the…

The upcoming 2018 Venom movie is one of the most highly anticipated comic book movies of the year, as well as one of the most secretive. Many fans of the character have been concerned with how Venom will be portrayed, and even a 3D sculpture was released by artist Mikkel Frandsen that fans have taken as a potential look for the character in the new movie – though it was later said by Sony that this wasn’t the case. However, DeviantArt user Bryanzap has taken it upon himself to give the 3D sculpture even more life, crafting it a texture…

This certainly wasn’t expected. As it turns out, the unannounced Cloverfield 3 is the most anticipated horror film of 2018! The year is certainly going to be interesting, as 2017 was one of the biggest box office events for the genre. Andy Muschietti’s IT movie became the highest grossing horror film, while Get Out was similarly a critical and financial success. And there was certainly a handful of others. With all of the successful horror films from this year, Fandango took a poll to see which ones users are looking forward to in 2018. Out of 8,000 users who voted…

There’s plenty of issues with the newest Alien films to have come out over the last few years. They just don’t seem to be capable of capturing the spirit of Alien, which seemed so incredibly new and disturbing in 1979. It’s fair to say this was because of HR Giger, whose work seems to have been forgotten with the likes of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. His original Xenomorph design is easily one of the best monster concepts in horror and sci-fi. There’s something so robotic and organic about it, it’s hard not to feel uncomfortable looking at it. But before…

Miles Traer, a Stanford University geologist, has created a presentation with two of his colleagues regarding the carbon footprint for nine superheroes. As expected, the presentation shows some disappointing results, and delivers a tongue-in-cheek way of getting people to question their own carbon footprints. This presentation, for example, claims that Iron Man and Batman are actually generating large amounts of CO2 with their technical equipment, literally dooming the environment in their attempts to stop crime. Traer managed to calculate the Batmobile’s CO2 output by comparing it with real world military vehicles, and theorizes it pumps out 48,000 pounds of CO2…
