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…

Everyone from fans to actual cast members have been reacting to the new Avengers: Infinity War trailer, and iconic filmmaker Kevin Smith has been no different. 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? This has me bawling with joy. It truly lives up to the word @Marvel! Look at that clusterf*ck of heroes! Take every penny of my money!” Smith wrote. It makes sense as Kevin Smith is well-known as an enthusiastic comic book fan,…

Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero’s 1968 Horror classic which originated the modern zombie genre, is being remade once again in Night of the Living Dead: Rebirth. This time, there seems to be a reason – to implement modern social themes into the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVEf3X_2Vaw&feature=youtu.be The film comes from Rising Pulse Productions in association with Mouse Nest Productions. The synopsis reads: “A tense visit to their family burial site quickly escalates into a fight for survival when brothers Adam and John are randomly attacked by several unknown assailants.” It’s pretty interesting that people are still so stuck on…

As a Scooby-Doo fan, I think it’s safe to say my life is finally complete. And if you’re the same way, I’m willing to bet yours is too. According to Variety, actresses Sarah Jeffrey and Sarah Gilman have been tapped to play two very iconic Scooby-Doo characters in next year’s Daphne and Velma. It’s a live-action film which will follow the two female sleuths before they met up with and joined Mystery Inc. “The mystery-solving teens are best friends but have only met online — until Daphne transfers to Velma’s school, Ridge Valley High, stocked with high-tech gadgetry by the…

While Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis of Amalgamated Dynamics would be credited as the effects artists for Alien 3, it turns out that the original Xenomorph designer H.R. Giger was first attached to redesign the iconic alien. According to Monster Legacy, who posted an in-depth examination of the design process behind Alien 3, Giger was working on redesigning the Xenomorph at the same time as Woodruff and Gillis. For whatever reason, however, the work of Woodruff and Gillis was chosen instead of Giger’s designs. While this is devastating to acknowledge, there is some rather interesting insight about what Giger…
