Although Batman is a fictional superhero, it’s always pleasant seeing the actors behind the mask take on their own heroic qualities. This was showcased last night during NBC’s Red Nose Day, where celebrities gathered to raise money for children worldwide. Actor Ben Affleck happened to be one of the celebrities helping raise money, and spent his time answering kids’ questions during a comedy sketch. Funnily enough, the video has him imitate previous Batman actor Christian Bale’s iconic voice. Affleck is eventually asked by one of the children to do the Batman voice, which he agrees to in a deeper voice,…

It was a terrible revelation when Zack Snyder announced his departure from the upcoming Justice League adaptation. His decision to leave was fueled by a horrific tragedy that no person should have to endure. Warner Bros. clearly understood and allowed Snyder to leave before supposedly replacing him with Joss Whedon to complete the project. But now it seems Whedon was a part of the project well before Snyder’s tragedy occurred. Whedon had previously joined Warner Bros. to simply write and direct their upcoming Batgirl adaptation. Now producer Charles Roven has confirmed Whedon had been helping Snyder for quite some time…

The X-Men spin-off film for the New Mutants has been in development for years now. But progress has quickly been catching up and EW now has a brief synopsis for the film. “Held in a secret facility against their will, five new mutants have to battle the dangers of their powers, as well as the sins of their past. They aren’t out to save the world — they’re just trying to save themselves.” It’s not a wholly original concept, but director Josh Boone did have some interesting details to reveal himself. “We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within…

With only a few months having gone by since its release, John Wick: Chapter 2 is already receiving the same praise and critical acclaim as its predecessor. Along with the film’s open ending, this only means one thing in Hollywood – a sequel is imminent. Franchise director Chad Stahelski recently spoke with Collider about the third Wick film. He revealed that production will begin very soon. Stahelski also voiced his desire to stay attached as director. “It’s more of a how fast can we get our shit together,” he explains. “But I would assume that if not by the end…

Although things were looking bright for fans of the Justice League Dark comics, the future of the upcoming film adaptation is once again shadowed by the loss of its director. According to Variety, Doug Liman is no longer attached to the project. Their sources reveal he left due to scheduling conflicts, as he decided to instead focus working on Lionsgate’s Chaos Walking film. However, they also revealed that the studio is hard at work looking for a new director to take on the project. Warner Bros. has yet to make an official comment.

Jason Voorhees is one of the most iconic and legendary villains in cinema. Although he didn’t officially appear until Friday the 13th Part 2, he’s gone on to evolve throughout the entire series and represents a great variety of thematic symbols. Of course, there are still plenty of questions when it comes to just what makes Jason tick – and I’m not talking about why he always comes back from the grave. I’m referring to the motivations going on behind Mr. Voorhees’ hockey mask, and YouTuber TylersSoap took it upon himself to explain them. His diagnosis begins by elaborating on…

Universal has finally given a name to their new upcoming franchise of gods and monsters.

After The Mummy hits theaters and launches the universe, Universal is set to release Bride of Frankenstein on February 14, 2019. Johnny Depp will be playing the Invisible Man, once played by the great Claude Rains. Javier Bardem…

It looks like Resident Evil is following in the footsteps of franchises which used the subtitle “The Final Chapter” and still returned for another outing. Variety reports that the iconic horror-action film franchise, inspired by the video game series of the same name, is being rebooted with a plan for at least six films. The announcement was made by Constantin Film board chairman Martin Moszkowicz at Cannes Film Festival. Constantin Films owns the film rights to the franchise and produced all of the previous films. Moszkowicz’ plan includes the release of six films in this franchise – the same number…

The first two Terminator films are some of the best examples of both the science-fiction and action genres. Unfortunately it’s tough being a fan given that every entry since has been less than enjoyable if not completely awful. And after the way Genysis was received by audiences, it seemed unlikely that the franchise would return anytime soon. Even franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger has been on the fence about returning to his most iconic role, but now it seems like he’s prepared to give it another shot. At the Cannes Festival, Schwarzenegger spoke with Screen Rant, and revealed some information about…
