The entire franchise, however, rests on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman....
Close Doesn’t Count in Star Wars Lucasfilm Fresh off his impressive turn in “Last Night in Soho,” actor Matt Smith has been dutifully making the press rounds and outlets have finally had a chance to press him for some juicy “Star Wars” insights. Remember when the internet was abuzz with the reliably-sourced news that Smith was in talks to join “The Rise of Skywalker” in a major (likely villainous) role? Interestingly, that report never led to any further details and caused a certain amount of confusion among fans when every subsequent piece of marketing kept leaving Smith out of it....

And while his next directorial effort, Pulp Fiction, wouldn’t arrive until 1994, 1993 was also a big year for Tarantino – because that was the year of True Romance. It was technically Tarantino’s first screenplay, written before Reservoir Dogs, and while he considered directing it himself, he eventually sold the script....

SNL’s Categorically Unjustified “MacGruber” Movie To Be Hard R By Hunter Stephenson/Aug. 11, 2009 11:16 am EST One of the most recycled, one-note, inexplicably dated bits in the history of SNL, “MacGruber,” is still moving forward as a feature film. Shooting has started in New Mexico on the 2010 release, with SNL writer and Lonely Island member, Jorma Taccone, making his theatrical debut as a director. Personally, I’d rather see Taccone reprise Cha-Ka in a spin-off or sequel to Land of the Lost, but his performance (and that rad film) sadly await discovery on Netflix....

After bringing the classic Nickelodeon series back, they decided to make it 100% more haunting by turning our favorite childhood cartoon into a harrowing CGI series that has officially been granted a second season. I mean, maybe I’m stuck in the tar pit that is the weird side of YouTube, but don’t these stills remind you of those incredibly off-putting made-in-Blender videos?...
Why It’s Essential Viewing Does anyone even remember “Law Abiding Citizen”? I wouldn’t be surprised if the people in the movie forgot about it. Hell, Viola Davis is in this! Viola Freakin’ Davis! I bet if you went up to Viola Davis and asked, “Remember ‘Law Abiding Citizen’?”, she’d give you a blank stare. But this film does exist, I assure you! And it’s currently streaming on Netflix. I missed the film in theaters and never bothered to watch it on DVD or Blu-ray, so it took me a while to even watch it....
The Do The Right Thing Controversy Explained Universal Pictures By Lee Adams/Nov. 15, 2021 1:38 pm EST In 1989, a movie came out that offered audiences a fresh, colorful, scathing insight into race relations in the United States. That movie wasn’t “Driving Miss Daisy,” the twee and patronizing tale of an elderly white woman and her Black driver in 1940s Georgia. “Daisy” won Best Picture at the Academy Awards, mystifyingly beating a strong field rounded out by “Born on the Fourth of July,” “Dead Poets Society,” “Field of Dreams,” and “My Left Foot....

By Chris Evangelista/June 17, 2020 2:30 pm EST Bear Grylls, famous for his work eating bugs on Man vs. Wild, is getting into the feature film business. Grylls will produce a new The Count of Monte Cristo movie, based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas. But this adaptation has a twist: it’s set in modern-day Afghanistan. Count of Monte Cristo has been adapted to the screen several times before, and recently, David Goyer was attached to write a version that was being touted as a “19th century Dark Knight,” but that project never came together....
