People like to hate remakes. And sometimes I can be one of those people. Other times, however? I absolutely love remakes. There’s David Cronenberg’s The Fly, John Carpenter’s The Thing, and an underrated favorite of mine, The Blob. Unfortunately, it seems that most filmmakers don’t understand how to properly remake a film. It’s not about taking the biggest and most profitable name and making a half-hearted rehash because “the original can’t be beat.” It’s about taking a fantastic concept, one that never met its full potential, and making sure it does the next time around. And it finally seems like…

Although most audiences might not have been familiar with the Suicide Squad until the film adaptation was announced, they have been a part of DC Comics since as early as 1959. With such a lengthy history, it’s not at all shocking that a video game would someday be put into production. Unfortunately the game, which became Suicide Squad: Special Ops, was rather badly made and only allowed players to utilize up to three characters. That’s why, when it was rumored we would be getting a much more fleshed-out game, fans became incredibly excited. However, according to Kotaku, the game was…

Most people recognize Batman as one of the darker aspects of the DC Comics Universe, and perhaps comics or entertainment in general. And so it’s natural for audiences not to connect Batman or related shows like Gotham to a sitcom such as Friends. One person, however, did. And with Giuls Shofer’s new fan video, it makes you wonder why someone hadn’t thought of it sooner. The video places the world of Gotham into a place of levity and laughter, not unlike the actual show Friends, and I can’t help but wish there was an actual series with this kind of…

20th Century Fox has just unveiled the newest trailer for A Cure for Wellness, an upcoming 2018 horror film from director Gore Verbinski. The new trailer seems to explore the film a bit more than the last trailer released, and it looks like there’ll be quite a few surprises for horror fans. Here’s the official synopsis and trailer: “An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps. He soon suspects that the spa’s miraculous treatments are not what they seem. When he begins…

YouTuber DrMachakil recently uploaded a video of Amazing Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield reacting to the trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming. The video quickly went viral and with over 250,000 views, it was only a matter of time before another reaction video would be created. Well, DrMachakil didn’t stop there. He created another reaction video that features original Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire responding to the video with Andrew Garfield, and it has already been viewed over 800,000 times within the last 24 hours; quickly passing its predecessor. Check it out below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71qI_jngLMw A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational…

While we’ll no doubt have an abundance of Baby Groot merchandise when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters, it’s NECA’s life-sized figure of the alien tree that really stands out. While the figurine pays plenty of attention to detail, there’s still something a little eerie about the first look at their new toy. With a price as cheap as $34.99, it’s no doubt a plus for fans on a budget for getting their merchandise; but just look at that smile. There’s a word for a face like that, and it is sinister. Check it out below: Guardians…

Vincent D’Onofrio’s portrayal of the villainous kingpin Wilson Fisk has become one of the most beloved across the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His presence is absolutely phenomenal whenever he’s onscreen, and fans can’t seem to get enough. That’s why he’s been asked by one fan on Twitter whether or not he’ll be starring on the Defenders miniseries – an upcoming Netflix crossover set to feature Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Unfortunately the actor replied with a big fat “no chance” that he’ll be appearing. Check out the exchange below: https://twitter.com/vincentdonofrio/status/810342516474134528 And despite the comics having introduced Wilson Fisk…

As we reported earlier, Megan Fox is rumored to star in David Ayer’s Gotham City Sirens as the villainous Poison Ivy. The actress recently bought comic issues Harley Quinn #14, #17 and #38 which features the beginning for Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy’s relationship. And with the film set to feature that same story, Fox seems to be studying about the characters. And, with all of the clues pointing towards this rumor being true, artist Boss Logic decided to draw his own depiction of Fox as the iconic Batman villain. Check it out below: https://twitter.com/Bosslogic/status/809243340726095872 As you can see it…

Rumors have been spreading all over the web since it was announced that David Ayer would be directing Gotham City Sirens. The film is going to star Margot Robbie back as Harley Quinn alongside villains Poison Ivy and Cat Woman. And it seems that with all the rumors going around, Megan Fox may actually be cast as Poison Ivy – according to a new report from Bleeding Cool. The site says Megan Fox has talked about being a comic lover before, and that she would like to play either Poison Ivy or Red Sonja. Another clue is that she bought…

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Suicide Squad director David Ayer will be returning to the DC Cinematic Universe despite all of the negative reception Suicide Squad received. Ayer’s next film, Gotham City Sirens (based on the comic series of the same name) will “showcase the top female villains from the DC stable.” And although it’s not yet known which other female villains will be appearing, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn will be starring. However, it’s likely Cat Woman and Poison Ivy will also play leading roles. The film will be written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet, a change from Suicide Squad which was…
