The Marvel Cinematic Universe has easily become one of the most successful franchises of all time. It’s not only the highest-grossing franchise, but it manages to receive endless acclaim from both fans and critics. As such, the franchise has also gained its fair share of haters – one of which is rather unexpected. Brian Taylor, who co-directed Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, was very vocal recently about how much he dislikes the MCU. In an interview with ComicBook, he explained his perspective: “The Marvel [Studios] movies, I just don’t understand at all. I have to be honest, they seem very…

Todd McFarlane has spoken a lot about his upcoming Spawn reboot – which is said to bring the character back to its horror roots. What may be interesting to learn, however, is that McFarlane has no intentions on giving Spawn any dialogue in his film. While in an interview with AZ Central, he explains his reasoning for writing Spawn without dialogue. And he uses the movie Jaws as a way to justify it. “I like to explain that it’s my Jaws,” McFarlane said. “Spawn doesn’t say a word the entire movie, and it’s the same way with “Jaws.” It’s about the…

Apparently, Day of the Dead: Bloodline will feature villains beyond just the zombies, as a new clip shows a would-be rapist getting attacked by a member of the undead. As one would suspect, the upcoming horror movie in with the original Day of the Dead’s knack for social commentary and displaying the results that the stress of a zombie apocalypse has on different stereotypes as they clash in tight situations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Vh1e-GuoA&feature=youtu.be Unfortunately, considering we already had a previous remake and some kind of sequel, both of which were universally hated, it’s probably safe to say that this new film won’t be…

If you’re like me, then you’re probably getting tired of the endless ghost-possession-jump-scare types of movies that have been out in abundance over the years. Well, director Charlie Steeds and writer Christopher Lombard seem to have us covered; their upcoming film The Barge People looks like it belongs straight in HP Lovecraft’s bibliography. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI6e3YFszMA&feature=youtu.be As you can see from the trailer, the film is chock-full of violence, suspense, and what appears to be some of the creepiest mutated fish-people since Stuart Gordon’s 2001 Lovecraft adaptation Dagon. It’ll be great to see a horror film that isn’t afraid to take risks…

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…
