Micro-budget filmmaker and lover of all things horror.

Many DC Comics fans have felt bewildered at the lack of response from Justice League director Joss Whedon who re-shot portions of the film after original director Zack Snyder left after a family tragedy. Since the film’s November 17th release date, he’s done nothing but favorite a few tweets criticizing the appearance of Steppenwolf in the film. Now he’s finally acknowledged his involvement in the film, taking credit for the song which was used in the opening credits. Many fans assumed that the song, Sigrid’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows”, was implemented by Zack Snyder up until now. https://twitter.com/joss/status/937676642994065408?s=17…

After the release of Justice League was met with negative critical and financial results, fans have been wondering more about what could’ve been done to help the film succeed. Many have wondered what would’ve happened if Zack Snyder’s original vision was kept intact – and thanks to Kevin Smith, we have more of an idea of what that could’ve been. According to Smith on his official YouTube channel, he managed to explain more about Darkseid’s cut scenes from Justice League which would’ve occurred just after the resurrection of Superman. While Superman battles with Steppenwolf, he’d be tempted with a vision…

The use of Israeli actress Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in Justice League has caused some controversy in some Middle Eastern countries, and even resulted in the film being banned from Lebanon – with one writer posting the following message: For those asking me about Justice League, I’ve been waiting for its release for a couple of weeks now but it was declared today that the movie will be banned here because of Gal Gadot. Gadot previously served in the Israeli military in the past, and recently has spoken in support of their foreign policies. This struck a nerve with…

Everyone has been talking about Justice League ever since it was released to theaters. While it’s not exactly the box office success Warner Bros. hoped for – or the film fans have wanted for decades now – it’s still a miracle to have happened at all. Especially when you consider past attempts like George Miller’s Justice League Mortal. And because it’s such an exciting time for fans to discuss what could’ve been, one person decided to create his own trailer for a Justice League film which would’ve crossed over with Fox’s X-Men – Justice League vs. X-Men. The X-Men franchise seems…

In an alternate universe, Justice League would’ve already been released in 2009 under the name Justice League Mortal. And it would’ve been directed by none other than Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller. Unfortunately the film was abandoned, but not before actor Arnie Hammer was cast as Batman. In an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Hammer explained more about what we could’ve expected from his Batman portrayal. “It was pre-Christian Bale but the Christian Bale Batman had a lot more in common with it than any of the previous ones, whether it be George Clooney or Michael Keaton, which…

Since the Avengers: Infinity War trailer was released, fans have been examining it without rest ever since. But one glaring clue may be in the trailer’s audio track rather than the visuals. As we all know, the trailer opens with the beginning of Nick Fury’s speech from the first film which he recited upon Agent Coulson’s death. This time, however, the lines were spoken by a variety of other characters. The latest theory suggests that the order these characters speak the lines may have been intentional. This is the order in which we hear the characters speak: Iron Man Vision…

If you were wondering whether or not the actress for Rey, Daisy Ridley, would be participating in Lucasfilm’s newly announced Star Wars trilogy spin-off – you needn’t wonder any longer. While talking with Rolling Stone about The Last Jedi, she revealed her intentions to not return as Rey past Episode IX. “No,” she told the publication, explaining, “For me, I didn’t really know what I was signing on to. I hadn’t read the script, but from what I could tell, it was really nice people involved, so I was just like, ‘Awesome.’ Now I think I am even luckier than I…

Smith decidedly took to Twitter, where he expressed a variety of thoughts on the trailer which to him was so powerful he actually shed tears. “Yes, I cry at everything. But this?
