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…

This year’s IT Movie was a major success, both financially and critically, but many fans are wondering: What’s next for Pennywise the Clown in IT: Chapter 2? Andy Muschietti took quite a few liberties when adapting Stephen King’s epic novel IT for the big screen. While some villains were changed, certain characters were absent, and the overall ending was changed, as well as key parts from Cary Fukunaga’s original script (thankfully, who wants to watch a child orgy in a sewer?) it’s still worth noting that the overall story leads us to the same place the novel and original 1990…

Though The Conjuring was a major success both financially and critically, I think it’s fair to say that no one really expected to see it grow into a cinematic universe of horror and suspense. While some could argue these spin-offs are straying too far from the source material, some of them are still based very much in reality. This happened to be the case with the first Annabelle film. The movie was inspired by a series of supposedly true events recorded and investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren. But as these true story types of films go, Hollywood exaggerated and…

While we already saw the teaser trailer for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film Ready Player One, the first official trailer has been released and it sure is insane. The footage is literally swarming with special effects and references to iconic 80’s movies. They also revealed more of the film’s actual plot and story, which may interest those of you unfamiliar with the book this movie was based on. The footage begins with a look at both the real world and the OASIS, before explaining that the creator of the OASIS has died. Interestingly enough, he left an Easter egg in the…
