‘The Season Of Passage’: Mike Flanagan Directing Christopher Pike Adaptation By Chris Evangelista/April 14, 2021 3:00 pm EST When it comes to the glory days of young adult horror novels, there’s Christopher Pike and then there’s everyone else.

Reading Between the Lines Something you can deduce from this deal is that Jason Blum and his partners have seen what Michael Greyeyes did as the main heavy in their “Firestarter” remake and they want to lock that dude down before the rest of the industry sees it. Greyeyes is playing John Rainbird in this remake, a role played by the extremely miscast George C. Scott in the original Drew Barrymore film....

But You Don’t Have To Take My Word For It… Lancit Media Productions Listen, anyone who tells you that LeVar Burton was not qualified to host “Jeopardy!” should be eyed curiously. I can’t begin to quantify the number of books I bought at Scholastic Book Fairs as a kid, specifically because Burton sat on “Reading Rainbow” and told me that I could go anywhere and do anything through them. He did that for twenty-three years, picking up Emmys and a Peabody Award for the joy and curiosity he spread....

Zorro 2.0 Will Reboot The Classic Character As A Hacker Sony By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 30, 2021 12:16 pm EST Remember Zorro? He’s back, in hacker form. Or that’s the plan, at least. Alex Rivera has been tapped by Sobini Films to write and direct “Zorro 2.0,” which reimagines the famous swashbuckling character as a modern-day hacker. And no, I’m not making this up.
