The upcoming Halloween movie is definitely a highly anticipated one, as it’s been revealed that Jamie Lee Curtis is returning and that it’ll directly pick up after the events of the original – ignoring the sequels entirely. When the Halloween series first started out, Michael Myers was not a muscular brute like in later installments. He was rather slim and shaped like an average person – able to slip in and out of corners and out of sight. As this would suggest, he was only credited as “The Shape”, further crediting his lack of characterization. And now, according to Bloody-Disgusting,…

As production on Sony’s upcoming Venom movie continues, fans have been curious about how faithful Venom’s design will turn out. Without the aid of Spider-Man’s character, it seems confusing how Venom will actually exist, and it’s worried some fans quite a bit. While there hasn’t been any new footage from the film released, we do have a possible look at the 3D model being used for Venom’s appearance – and it’s actually pretty accurate to the character. A creature effects artist named Mikkel Frandsen recently posted a sculpt of Venom onto his website. While it isn’t confirmed that he’s working…

Philip Reeve’s 2001 novel Mortal Engines is finally being adapted for the big screen, with the help of none other than Bad Taste and The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fupYIggOq38&feature=youtu.be If you’re unfamiliar with the story, it focuses on a post-apocalyptic England where gigantic moving cities scale the landscape in search of smaller towns to consume and scavenge. The story takes an interesting turn when Tom Natsworthy, third-class apprentice in the Guild of Historians in the town of Salthook, finds his hometown literally devoured by the city of London. This is what sets him off on his quest…

After almost two years of speculation, it’s finally been confirmed. Actor Tom Hardy is indeed involved with Star Wars: The Last Jedi as a stormtrooper in a cameo role. The news was revealed by a Tom Hardy fan account on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc1cm-enVUC/ Of course it’s still unclear which stormtrooper exactly he appeared as, or if his scene stayed in the film at all. It’s possible that the footage simply ended up on the cutting room floor. Hopefully as time passes his role will be more easily identified! At the very least, with the images that were shared on the account,…

Andy Muschietti’s IT movie adaptation is finally coming to Blu-ray next month! While it doesn’t include a Director’s Cut, there will be eleven deleted and extended scenes which should add up to at least 15-minutes of extra footage! According to user StrayButler91 on the Blu-ray.com forums, he’s come into possession of the film’s Australian release and has all the details! For featurettes we have… Pennywise Lives (16:25) – a behind-the-scenes featurette about Pennywise, of course. The Losers’ Club (15:42) – a featurette about the child actors in the movie. Author of Fear (13:51) – an extended interview with Stephen King,…

Avengers: Infinity War is almost here, after years of foreshadowing the epic crossover sequel starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will finally see Thanos invade the Earth – but it’s looking more and more likely that Avengers 4 will be the film that really changes the direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With such an epic story and ensemble cast of characters, fans have already speculated that some of our beloved heroes won’t be surviving the whole ordeal. Now Cinema Facts has supported this theory, as the Russo Brothers have given a list of heroes, one of which who may not be…

While the Scream franchise is best known for having two killers in each installment (besides Scream 3), the concept would’ve been pushed past its limits had Scream 2 been filmed as originally intended. The sequel would’ve totally transcended the formula by revealing not just two or even three killers, but a whopping total of four. Unfortunately at the time of filming, the script was prematurely leaked online – forcing writer Kevin Williamson to develop a series of new drafts and rewrites to hide the new ending. Williamson recently spoke with Dread Central about the process, unveiling some of the killers…

While fans wait for Hellraiser: Judgment to receive some type of official release date, the folks at the Clive Barker Cast have taken the time to look at what could’ve been. You see, Clive Barker actually almost got the chance to helm a remake of Hellraiser in 2014 – until his pitch was rejected by Dimension. But now the Clive Barker Cast got their hands on the script and they’ve explained just how close to the source material it would’ve been. “The script opens on Devil’s Island in the 1700’s where toymaker Philippe Lemarchand is being held prisoner by an…

Sony’s upcoming Venom movie continues production with the announcement of an all-new cast member. According to Variety, star Woody Harrelson has been attached to play in the film as “a henchman of sorts.” Although the announcement is a complete surprise, it does make sense considering Venom director Ruben Fleisher previously worked with Harrelson in his 2009 endeavor Zombieland. Let’s just hope his character ends up being as great as Tallahassee from Zombieland. There’s far too many villainous roles that wind up being unmemorable, and Harrelson is such a great actor that it wouldn’t be fair. Some have suspected the actor…

Another trailer for the next installment in the seemingly endless Insidious franchise, Insidious: The Last Key, has premiered ahead of its release date next month, courtesy of Universal. The trailer reveals more about the film’s plot and what can be expected, which includes a truly generic montage of jump scares and bland settings. If you watched any of the lowest rated horror films of the last few years, odds are many of the same scenes and tropes from those are present in this trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I3ALtvCmyE&feature=youtu.be It’s been said that these films are like some great return to form for the…
