Reboots are everywhere as of late, and it’s particularly been popular to reboot old science-fiction properties for newer audiences given the new technology and advancements to take advantage of. This is why, naturally, Lost in Space has been chosen for a rebooted series on the streaming-service Netflix. The show will premiere on Netflix with a ten-episode first season, around 50 years after its original incarnation, and it’s exciting to see what types of new styles and production aspects will go into the show’s creative processes. The show’s story isn’t too different from the original series, in that it will follow…

Warner Bros. has been trying to develop an Akira adaptation since 2002, and most recently rumors have circulated that they want Fast & Furious’ and Star Trek Beyond’s director Justin Lin to direct. However, one of the first directors to be attached was Ruairi Robinson, who in 2014 shared concept art for their depiction of the film. The film was set to take place in New Manhattan, and follow a biker gang’s leader who has to save his friend, Tetsuo, who possesses potentially destructive psychokinetic abilities, from government medical experiments. The art reveals Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tetsuo, and Chris Evans…

As many fans already know, J.K. Simmons was cast as Commissioner Gordon the upcoming live-action film Justice League. Soon after the announcement, pictures of Simmons training in a gym circulated the internet, and fans questioned what kinds of changes the studio was making to the character of Commissioner Gordon for the movie. But, in an interview with Business Insider, he explained everything. “This is all coincidental. After the second and final time that I got hugely fat in my life and when I lost that weight six or seven years ago, I pretty much decided that I was going to…

Due to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’s Ultimate Edition being released this week, Marvel decided to have a little playful fun by spoofing the film in their new comic issue Spider-Man/Deadpool #6. This one-shot issue is written by Scott Aukerman with art by Reilly Brown. It functions as a parody of modern superhero films. It opens with a new villain, Salmon Stuntman, informing Deadpool that a Hollywood studio is making a movie based on his life. Deadpool, enlisting Spider-Man’s help because he assumes the webslinger is already a Hollywood sell-out, makes his way to the production with a series…

One of the biggest problems fans fear for Andy Muschietti’s It adaptation, the second to be made since the 1990 TV miniseries, is how they will manage to make Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal live up to Tim Curry’s as Pennywise the Clown. Curry, as you all know, is perhaps the most iconic killer clown in cinematic history. With that said, many wonder how Skarsgård’s Pennywise will look in appearance – and its possible we’ve already seen it. Muschietti’s Instagram has occasionally posted images regarding the new film, most recently a director’s chair with the film’s logo and a bundle of red…

Currently in Marvel Comics, a woman named Jane Foster has taken the title of Thor – but soon enough the original God of Thunder is going to be returning since his disappearance following Secret Wars. His new appearance will feature in Fall’s Marvel NOW! initiative, although he’ll be boasting a new look. As depicted in the following artwork by artist Mike Deodato, Thor is wielding Jarnbjorn and still retains a metallic arm since losing his real one to Malekith. His costume has also changed and he’s now sporting a shorter haircut. Supposedly the latter will be retained in the upcoming…

Learning from CinemaBlend, who was able to visit the set for the currently-filming Justice League, there will be an abundance of new costumes designed by Michael Wilkinson. The costume designer has done costumes for quite a few Zack Snyder films in the past, including Watchmen, 300, Sucker Punch, and Man of Steel. With that said, he’ll be including two new costumes for Batman in the new movie. The first suit is “The Classic Bat Suit”. The suit that Bruce Wayne will wear for most of the film won’t be too different from his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice suit.…

Andy Park, a conceptual artist for Captain America: Civil War, released a previously unseen piece of art for Wanda Maximoff, also known as ‘The Scarlet Witch’. The costume looked mostly the same, except for one difference taken from the comics: she’s wearing a headband. This was let out of the finished film, but that doesn’t mean we can’t expect to see it for future experiences. Of course, maybe things were for the better. What do you think? Did they make the right decision by leaving it out or should they have respected the comic appearance? Check out the art below,…

Horror fans for years have been clamoring for a big-budget fighting game to battle one another as their favorite slasher and monster icons, and it seems that may be an inevitable possibility – from the makers of Mortal Kombat, no less. Netherrealm has been gradually introducing these types of villains into these games starting with their DLC for the 2011 reboot by including the Jackie Earle Haley variant of Freddy Krueger. The next game took this step further, by including Jason Voorhees, the Predator, an Alien Xenomorph, and Jason Voorhees. And, according to Game Informer who asked Netherrealm during the…
