What started out with rumors about Ben Affleck leaving the Batman role once Justice League was released, have now turned into the suggestion that Matt Reeves already has someone in mind lined up for the Batman role in his solo movie. According to this new rumor, Reeves wants actor Jake Gyllenhaal to play The Dark Knight. It certainly sounds like a possibility, seeing how DC already has a series of separate solo films featuring its characters in the works. Plus Gyllenhaal even showed past interest in starring as Batman! While promoting his film Southpaw on The Howard Stern Show in…

Ever since Ben Affleck announced he would no longer be directing the upcoming solo Batman film for Warner Bros., skepticism and rumors have been nonstop. People have been suggesting that Affleck has wanted out of the Batman role altogether, and new Batman director Matt Reeves is rumored to have even revealed his choice for a new Batman, Jake Gyllenhaal. All of this has left the fate of the solo Batman film in limbo, as it’s not really clear just what exactly the film is supposed to be. While it was previously thought to be a prequel or disconnected story, the…

Like many other television properties of the 1990’s, Paramount has selected Are You Afraid of the Dark? as the next series to be adapted for film. If you’re afraid that the new movie might downplay the horror elements in order to appeal to younger kids, however, have no fear. Paramount has IT and Annabelle: Creation writer Gary Dauberman developing the script for the new film! Although it’s unlikely this movie would be released with anything more than a PG-13 rating, it is worth noting that both IT and Annabelle: Creation were R-Rated, so there’s a good chance this film will…

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…

Andy Muschietti’s IT Movie adaptation is finally coming to home video – after breaking dozens of records at the box office. Not only is it the highest-grossing Stephen King adaptation, but with its near $700 million worldwide gross, it’s become the highest-grossing horror film of all time. With accolades like these, fans are anxious as ever to get their hands on a copy of the film. And now there’s even more reason to with the announcement of various special features; including 11 deleted scenes from the film. As such, Warner Bros. will be releasing IT on digital video platforms on…

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…

As we all know, a new Halloween sequel is set to begin filming this Fall, with David Gordon Green and Danny McBride at the helm. Green will direct from a script he wrote with McBride. Jamie Lee Curtis is set to reprise her iconic role of Laurie Strode, and fans everywhere are excited. Earlier this week, McBride was interviewed by Yahoo, where he explained some very interesting tidbits regarding the new sequel. “We’re kind of ignoring all the films past the first one. It picks up after the first one, but it’s sort of an alternate reality.” McBride continued to…

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…
