The Halloween movie franchise is getting a breath of fresh air with David Gordon Green’s upcoming installment. This movie will disregard every film in the franchise except for John Carpenter’s iconic 1978 original – and even has Carpenter onboard to make sure the film does everything right. And he’s not the only returning member from the original film – we also have Jamie Lee Curtis coming back as Laurie Strode. This time she’s gearing up for a 40 year reunion with Michael Myers, once again played by original shape actor, Nick Castle. The first set photos have made their way online,…

In 2013, author Stephen King wrote up a sequel to one of his greatest stories – The Shining. The story of Jack Torrance and his family locked away with a pack of ghosts during the winter instantly became a classic. It then became preserved in pop culture with Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation featuring Jack Nicholson. And, in our world of reboots and sequels, fans have become eager to know when King’s Shining sequel titled Doctor Sleep would ever get adapted. Some horror lovers were hopeful when Mike Flanagan, soon after the success of his adaptation Gerald’s Game, announced he would…
In a scenario identical to the Hellraiser franchise, the latest Children of the Corn sequel, Children of the Corn: Runaway, has finally been given a trailer and release date. While both films have been completed for some time, they’ve been given little information or promotional details since their initial announcements, giving doubts to fans about their quality. As most fans are already aware, Dimension tends to put out sequels to Hellraiser and Children of the Corn for the sole purpose of keeping the rights. Why on earth they’d want to keep the rights just so they can shell out cheap…

Although it has yet to be officially announced by MGM, it looks like original RoboCop writer Ed Neumeier has been working with the studio in writing a new entry for the franchise. And, interestingly enough, it’s supposed to go back to the roots of the original film. The news comes from an interview Neumeier had with Zeitgeist Magazine, where he revealed his excitement to be working on such a project so long after the original. “I didn’t expect to be talking about [RoboCop] thirty years later. It was kind of the start of my career and later we did Starship…
The release of Justice League and its mixed reception has prompted a change in infrastructure for the DC Films Universe. While there’s been a variety of titles planned for quite some time, their futures have become unclear as Warner Bros. rethinks its strategy. As such, there’s two more films being discussed as part of DC’s next phase – a Man of Steel 2 and Nightwing adaptation. This new phase is being constructed by Walter Hamada, the new head of the studio, and it appears he has eight films planned. Most of them have already been confirmed, and it’s Man of…
In the 1990s, a time before the DCEU took control of DC’s catalogue of superhero characters, actor Nicolas Cage was once tapped to play Superman in a film titled Superman Lives. The production eventually fell apart, taking away Cage’s chances of ever playing the iconic hero. But that hasn’t kept him away entirely from the character – he’s managed to see and give his thoughts on the latest Justice League film! Variety managed to talk with the actor during his appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, where he opened up about seeing Justice League. “I did,” Cage told Variety when…
As any fan can tell you, most Halloween sequels after Halloween III: Season of the Witch can best be described as abominations against mankind. And until Halloween: Resurrection proved everyone wrong, most fans declared Halloween 6 the worst installment in the franchise. But as it turns out, a rejected script for the film could’ve given us something much, much worse. As we all know with the actual Halloween 6, the film tries to give Michael Myers an all-new backstory. It explains Michael’s desire to kill and immortality stems from an ancient cult, and the film ultimately ends when Paul Rudd (who…
As we await for more details on David Gordon Green’s upcoming Halloween movie, there’s plenty of speculation to be made now that the film is shooting. And a new casting call may have just unveiled the return of a very familiar location. According to Project Casting, the filmmakers are looking to cast for “criminally insane patients”, in particular “1 African American and Hispanic Male.” As we all know, Michael Myers lived most of his early life at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, so it’s possible this casting call means a return to the iconic mental hospital. It’ll be exciting to see how…
