I think we’re alone now… After what seems like forever in development hell, The Strangers is finally getting a sequel from 47 Meters Down director Johannes Roberts, titled Strangers: Prey at Night. And it looks like a blast. With a fantastic use of colors, cinematography, and the now-iconic Strangers, it feels more like a renaissance for the potential franchise as opposed to a tired sequel like many would expect. While the first film was directed by Bryan Bertino, this movie looks like it takes the action and possibly violence to the next level. In fact, it looks like this movie…

While The Untitled Deadpool Sequel (Deadpool 2) surprise trailer today showed a lot of emphasis on painting, it may have showed something else entirely. It’s quite possible that it confirmed the movie’s antagonist will be Nathan Essex, otherwise known as Mister Sinister. While the trailer’s main focus is on parodying Bob Ross and giving glimpses at the film’s actual storyline, some fans have dissected the main painting of the trailer well enough to recognize Mister Sinister. It definitely makes sense, considering Deadpool’s iconic sidekick Cable will be featured and his original deals with time travel. Therefore including Mister Sinister is…

While we were treated to the unexpected first trailer for Deadpool 2 today, Fox also went ahead and launched a new website to promote the new film. Interestingly enough, the site also suggests a new title for the highly-anticipated sequel, which says: The Untitled Deadpool Sequel. Of course this may just be an unofficial place-holder before the real title is announced, but it would definitely be the kind of quirky and meta move that’d make sense for a property such as Deadpool. Until there’s further information on the sequel, here’s the new official synopsis for the upcoming flick: After surviving…

The Golden Globes work by categorizing films into two sections – “Drama” and “Comedy or Musical”. While most would assume a film like Jordan Peele’s Get Out would be thrown in with the drama category, given its obvious horror trademarks, it looks like that’s not the case if the film does get nominated. According to Variety Awards Editor Kristopher Tapley, there was a meeting by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to determine the categories. Interestingly enough they decided to label Get Out a “comedy”. It makes somewhat sense given that there are some comedic moments in the movie, and director…

Predator 2 originally went through a variety of concepts before the wild city of Los Angeles became the main setting. As such, Predator and Predator 2 writers Jim Thomas and John Thomas recently spoke about some of the different drafts at a 30th anniversary screening of Predator in an interview (via AvP Galaxy). Jim first explained that they originally focused on bringing back Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character, Dutch: “We had an idea where at the end [of Predator], with the burned up clearing where the explosion happens… [Predator 2] opens there,” Thomas recalled. “Predator’s invisible feet come into view and a hand plunges down…

The Hellraiser franchise is notable for being extremely graphic and violent, with the glorification of pain being a major theme throughout the films. It seems the upcoming Hellraiser: Judgment is no different, as director Gary J. Tunnicliffe has stated on the Movie Crypt podcast. In fact, Tunnicliffe has revealed quite a few people walked off the set of the film just to get away from its gruesome imagery. And one actress nearly passed out from the extremity of the gore: “We did two sequences where… one, the actress almost passed out… a scene that you especially, Adam… you are going…

It turns out that there was an Easter egg connection between The Goonies and Jurassic Park that took almost 25 years for anyone to discover. Steven Spielberg directed Jurassic Park eight years after he produced The Goonies which was based on a story idea of his own. Now a new theory has come around suggesting that Spielberg may have in fact placed a few Easter eggs from the 1985 hit The Goonies in his dinosaur extravaganza. A user on Reddit by the name Shadewfb brought up the possibility, and the Internet has been freaking out about it ever since. The…
