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…

Alien fans have been in a frenzy ever since it was announced that Fox likely gave up on Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant sequel. Now that there seems to be interest in where the franchise could go next, director Neill Blomkamp has shared some more artwork from his unmade Alien 5 concept. https://www.instagram.com/p/BdMHjvEhkDU/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BdMHnmBBF2g/ The film was thought up by Blomkamp as a replacement for Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection. It would’ve taken place after Aliens and followed a more traditional sequel route with Ripley, Hicks, and even Newt returning to fight the Xenomorph menace. But Ridley Scott saw to it…

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre franchise returned to audiences this year with Leatherface, a prequel to Tobe Hooper’s original 1974 film. And if you were one of the many fans who tended to hate it, well, you’ll be happy to know that the producers behind it and 2013’s Texas Chainsaw 3D no longer possess the rights. Leatherface producer Christa Campbell was asked by a fan on Twitter if we could expect a second prequel following Leatherface. Campbell then pointed out the loss of rights, “I loved this film and I’m very proud. Unfortunately because of the time it took to…

Although Ridley Scott has been assuring what fans are left that an Alien: Covenant sequel was on the way, it seems that’s no longer the case. According to a user on the Blu-ray.com forums (via AvP Galaxy), Covenant didn’t do what Fox was hoping for. Because of this production on the sequel which was being fast-tracked seems to have stopped. The Disney buyout hasn’t helped matters either, according to the source. “The sequel to Covenant was originally due to start preproduction this month in Sydney. After the box office results filming was canceled, and a warehouse storage unit full of…

Friday the 13th: The Game has added a slew of new and exciting Easter eggs with its latest update, featuring a virtual cabin full of surprises inspired by the franchise’s best moments. One of these includes an appearance from a young Jason Voorhees, as portrayed by Ari Lehman in the original 1980 film. If you happen to play through the virtual cabin’s second ending, you’ll be given a chance to ride a boat across Crystal Lake. This summons Jason to rise up from the murky depths and drag you underneath the water, just like the infamous dream sequence that ended…
