Just days after Harvey Weinstein was fired from his own company, The Weinstein Company, audio has surfaced that the New York Police Department recorded of a rather disturbing attempt by Harvey Weinstein to convince Filipina-Italian actress Ambra Battilana Gutierrez to enter his hotel room as he showers. As Gutierrez refuses, Weinstein continues to threaten her career if she doesn’t do as he asks. It’s a truly horrific scenario. The audio recording was published on Tuesday by The New Yorker in a time when many of Weinstein’s past crimes are coming to light. This so far includes four accusations of sexual…

While the beginning announcements regarding David Gordon Green’s upcoming Halloween sequel seemed to indicate that it’d follow the original two films, that’s no longer the case. As it’s been speculated more frequently in recent weeks, Halloween 2 is apparently no longer part of the equation. The new Halloween film will only follow the original 1978 movie. It makes sense, considering co-writer Danny McBride has previously voiced his disinterest in having Laurie reduced to Michael’s sister; a plot line that was first introduced in Halloween 2. In an interview with Stereo Gum, John Carpenter has finally put the confusion to rest: “It’s…

Andy Muschietti’s movie adaptation of IT starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise has officially become the first horror film to make over $300 million domestically. The film has already conquered a variety of other records, including biggest opening for a horror film, the highest-grossing Stephen King adaptation, and even highest-grossing R-rated horror film of all time which was previously held by The Exorcist. According to The Wrap, the film has earned $304.9 million after finishing in third place during this weekend’s domestic box office. It’s absolutely mind blowing considering it’s not only the first horror film to make such an amount…

Did anyone predict that John Wick would’ve been such a hit? And who knew that a sequel released so soon after the original would do just as well? It’s refreshing to see an original property have a strong success, and even better to see star Keanu Reeves make a comeback as the titular character. And because the first two John Wick films did so well, we can expect John Wick: Chapter 3 quite soon. While there isn’t much information on the new film at the moment, Keanu Reeves did reveal some updates. Reeves was at the New York Comic-Con promoting…

While Alien: Covenant hasn’t seen too much improvement in reception compared to its predecessor Prometheus, that still doesn’t mean another sequel won’t be on the way. In fact, director Ridley Scott is already giving details on what he hopes to achieve with the next film that’s supposed to lead into the events of the original Alien. Scott explained in an interview on the Empire podcast that the next film would move on from the aliens and focus more on androids and the concept of artificial intelligence. According to Scott: “I think the evolution of the Alien himself is nearly over,…

There’s been a variety of unmade projects for the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, including a prequel that would’ve heavily featured Charles Manson. But CinemaBlend recently got to speak with Robert Englund about some of the unmade projects we haven’t heard about, and he revealed his own idea for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, which would’ve focused more on the mythology of Tina Gray from the original. Englund explained: “I worked on my own draft for Part 3. Mine would’ve been about a sister. If Tina had a sister, and Tina’s sister would come to solve it.”…

Everyone is familiar with the YouTube series Honest Trailers, but now it turns out the creator – Andy Signore – is being accused of sexual abuse. According to The Hollywood Reporter, there are currently two accusers. One of which was a former intern for Signore, and used social media on Friday to publicly claim Signore uses his position to prey on women. Emma Bower was the intern’s name, and she chose now as the time to speak up after The New York Times accused film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual abuse with actresses and employees. Bower continued to explain that…

Burger King Germany recently hijacked the ending to a screening of Andy Muschietti’s IT, starring Bill Skarsgård. The company implemented a warning against trusting clowns. Not too long ago, the Russian branch of Burger King had urged their government to ban the film as they were upset with Pennywise’s resemblance to Ronald McDonald. But it’s the German branch that seems to have a more lighthearted approach, using Pennywise for their own benefit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx_kf-mCKYo&feature=youtu.be Their message began right before the end credits of IT, where they lit the screen up with two spotlights. The first said “The Moral Is: Never Trust…

It’s been announced that starting today, October 5, the streaming service Netflix will begin raising subscriber prices for certain plans. However the rates are only going up by a few dollars at most. According to Business Insider, the lowest-tier plan will remain unchanged. But of course the “standard” and most popular plan which includes HD and two simultaneous streams is moving up from $9.99 a month to $10.99.

Who would’ve thought Andy Muschietti’s IT movie adaptation starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise the Clown looked so good on VHS? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sTBh7SuHDE New Line Cinema has been seeing a change of form lately, as the more things change the more they stay the same. The once low budget film production studio managed to survive the 1980s thanks to A Nightmare on Elm Street’s huge success. The studio was dubbed ‘The House That Freddy Built’ soon after and grew rich on a variety of similar horror film successes. The company was eventually bought out by Warner Bros. but now you could say history…
