A ‘Complete’ Tomb Raider Reboot Is In The Works As MGM Loses Movie Rights Warner Bros. By BJ Colangelo/July 28, 2022 7:56 pm EST The rights to “Tomb Raider” are up in the air, and a Hollywood bidding war has erupted regarding who will become the new cinematic home for all things Lara Croft. MGM, the previous company to obtain the rights to the popular video game, had until May of 2022 to greenlight a sequel to their 2018 “Tomb Raider” film, but failed to do so, meaning the rights are back on the market....

Becoming Noble: Everything We Know So Far About The Series HBO By Valerie Ettenhofer/July 22, 2022 1:31 pm EST Storm Reid is everywhere. The teenage actress has already starred in a major YA adaptation (“A Wrinkle in Time”), delivered an emotional supporting performance in one of the biggest shows on TV (“Euphoria”), and appeared in a number of compelling, award-winning projects over the past decade, beginning with her first feature film role in “12 Years A Slave....

Black Adam Ending Explained: Holding Out For A Hero Warner Bros. By Ryan Scott/Oct. 21, 2022 1:30 pm EST We have reached the end of a very long journey, DC fans. “Black Adam” has finally arrived in theaters, bringing an epic 15-year saga to its conclusion (or perhaps beginning?) for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The man became attached to the role back in 2007 and, at long last, he has brought Teth Adam to life on the big screen for the first time in the character’s history....

Waiting for Godot for horror Lionsgate Films Glover was certainly the driving force behind Bell’s agreeing to take on the role, but Whannell’s script certainly did some heavy lifting. “I thought that three guys locked in a room was, like … no one was making films about three guys locked in a room,” said Bell. “And it threw to ‘Waiting For Godot,’ for me, on some level.” Bell also admitted to being blown away by the ending of the film, which to this day has helped separate it from the rest of the “torture-porn” sequels that followed....

Younger version from the Sacred Timeline 20th Century Studios It would truly be a shame if Wolverine’s appearance in “Deadpool 3” retconned “Logan.” The Academy Award-nominated film by James Mangold is highly regarded by fans and critics alike, so to remove that from MCU continuity or flat-out ignore it would be ridiculous. I mean, it can’t really be overwritten unless that branch was clipped by the TVA, but it seems like that universe has been around long enough to solidify its place in the multiverse....

The Lionsgate movie “Fall” is out on digital right now, and hits Blu-ray and DVD today. /Film has an exclusive clip with some behind-the-scenes footage about prepping for this film. It was no easy task, dealing with the weather and other conditions that made shooting difficult, to say the least....

Ghostwatch At 30: The Brilliant BBC Halloween Stunt That Terrified The Nation BBC By Lee Adams/Oct. 31, 2022 9:00 am EST I was still dressed as a mummy when I sat down to watch TV after trick-or-treating on Halloween night in 1992. I was a skinny lad, so binding my limbs tightly in bandages made me look more like a weird spindly white insect than King Tut. Self-conscious of this, I wore my Adidas bench coat over the costume, which completely ruined the effect....

Here’s How To Listen To The Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Soundtrack And Weird Al’s Totally Original New Song Roku By Rafael Motamayor/Nov. 4, 2022 10:55 am EST Alfred Matthew “Weird Al” Yankovic is not only one of our best living musicians, but also one of the best comedians working today. For decades, he’s made songs that are more than just funny versions of songs already written by other people, songs that add to the originals, make them better, and at times even surpass them with catchy, smart, and funny lyrics and wacky sounds....

Carol Freeman’s stern confidence would thrive in the NBA Paramount Captain Freeman is a natural leader, orderly enough to thrive in diplomatic situations, but keeps a firm guard to emit a sense of ruthlessness to potential threats. We could totally imagine her being an NBA coach, passing on her knowledge to players and injecting into them her fierce and confident energy. “I think she would’ve surrounded herself with gigantically tall men and felt very comfortable barking orders at them because they could take it....

DC Studios’ priorities Warner Bros. Over the next three tweets, Gunn lays out that he and Safran will be open-minded to fans’ wishes, but are focused foremost on telling the story they’re planning now: “As the new (& first ever) CEOs of DC Studios, Peter & I think it’s important we acknowledge you, the fans, & let you know we hear your different desires for the pathways forward for DC. Although our ability to interact on Twitter has been lessened due to the workload of our new positions, we are listening & open to everything as we embark on this journey, & will continue to do so for the next few years....

Jamie Lee Curtis Won’t Rule Out A Return To The Halloween Franchise Universal Pictures By Anya Stanley/Oct. 4, 2022 5:51 pm EST The ruling maxim of John Carpenter’s game-changing slasher masterpiece “Halloween” is “Everyone’s entitled to one good scare,” but the original Michael Myers survivor will have as many as she pleases. David Gordon Green’s “Halloween” revival trilogy is reaching its terminus with this year’s final entry, “Halloween Ends,” releasing wide October 14....

Justin Roiland Sees The Irony In All Of Those Rick And Morty Brand Deals Adult Swim By Valerie Ettenhofer/Sept. 6, 2022 6:00 am EST TV show brand deals: they’re usually corny, often unimaginative, and almost always impossible for viewers to witness while maintaining suspension of disbelief. Nothing ruins a dramatic moment like a character suddenly stopping to compliment a car’s upholstery, and nothing makes a lovable show more annoying than seeing its characters hawking wares on commercials 10 times a day....

Netflix’s Ad-Supported Tier Will Now Launch In November Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 1, 2022 7:41 pm EST For the last 15 years, Netflix has survived on monthly subscriptions and commercial-less programming, a major selling point compared to the ad-plagued hellscape known as cable television, but that time is over. The future is now, old man, because Netflix’s planned launch for an ad-supported subscription tier has been moved up to November 2022....

Watch the Paul T. Goldman trailer Jason Woliner first encountered Paul T. Goldman, an apparently real-life person, on Twitter back in 2012. Goldman tweeted at Woliner (as well as hundreds of other personalities on the social media site) about a book and a screenplay he had written. Woliner describes the tale as being “about how he’d been the victim of a shocking betrayal that led to a transformation ‘from wimp to warrior’ and set him on a mission to bring down an (alleged) international crime ring....

Satanic Hispanics Review: More Horror Anthologies Should Be This Steady And Fun [Fantastic Fest] Epic Pictures By Matt Donato/Sept. 27, 2022 2:58 pm EST Future horror anthology producers and filmmakers can learn from the smooth-as-silk collection “Satanic Hispanics.” Most importantly? Don’t undervalue your wraparound that binds segments together like storytelling glue. Anthologies are, by definition, multiple shorts assembled to feature length via chapters, but what separates a “Deathcember” that’s too oddly randomized from something like “Satanic Hispanics” is wraparound consistency....

Sci-Fi Horror Movies The Average Person Would Never Survive Searchlight Pictures By Sarah Milner/Sept. 1, 2022 5:17 pm EST Sometimes, the victims in horror movies get what’s comin’ to ’em: maybe they take unnecessary risks, test fate, or just otherwise make poor, life-costing decisions. Other times, however, they were goners from the start — and there was nothing they could do to avoid their fate. There are some truly terrifying sci-fi horror movies that leave even seasoned genre-fans feeling disturbed, and it’s not always about gore or violence....

Spaced Was Tied Too Closely To Edgar Wright’s Life For Him To Make A Season 3 London Weekend Television/Channel 4 By Lee Adams/Oct. 16, 2022 5:30 pm EST Flatmates have always been a goldmine for sitcoms, but the format was especially abundant on British TV in the ’90s. You had Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmonson beating the crap out of each other in ultra-violent slapstick fashion in “Bottom,” Ben Chaplin playing an agoraphobic roomie from hell in “Game On,” and two guys talking about boobs and drinking beer in the roaringly popular and very laddish “Men Behaving Badly....

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Is So Good It Makes Me Want A 26-Episode Season Paramount By Danielle Ryan/July 8, 2022 2:00 pm EST When “Star Trek” was in its heyday, most major television series had 26-episode seasons. The first season of “Star Trek: The Original Series” had a few more, but most “Trek” shows had a couple dozen episodes in each of their seasons to deliver us from Earth and into the far reaches of space....

Strange World Producer Says The Movie Only Could Have Been Made In Animation [Exclusive] Disney By Ernesto Valenzuela/Nov. 19, 2022 3:54 pm EST Due to recent comments labeling animation as something purely for children, the medium has been at the center of a heated public discourse. Not only is animation a valid form of storytelling for all ages, but sometimes it’s the only way to tell a story. Just as live-action films have their merit, animated projects can use the freedom of a blank canvas to express emotions and feelings that would not be possible otherwise....
