It was first announced in 2017, and around that time, we heard Urban was in talks to reprise his role in the show....

Oh What A Lovely Day: All The Mad Max: Fury Road Cars Are Going Up For Auction Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 9, 2021 2:49 pm EST Folks, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here. Even if there is somehow not unanimous consent that “Mad Max: Fury Road” is one of the greatest movies of all time, then at least we can all agree that the practical and working souped-up vehicles that visionary filmmaker George Miller and his crew used to tear through the deserts of Namibia are some of the absolute coolest things ever put to screen....

Chappie, Chappie (2015) Sony Pictures Yes Neill Blomkamp’s latest creation is new. And no, the movie isn’t that good. But Chappie is unlike any robot you’ve ever seen, wrapping innocence and strength into one very interesting and fun package. Future Sentinels, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) 20th Century Studios The Sentinels have always been a big part of the X-Men universe. I loved them in the comics and while their first major big screen incarnation was very different from their comic book origins, they were beautiful, deadly and so unbeatable that the X-Men had to change time to do triumph over them....

‘Bubbles’, Taika Waititi’s Netflix Movie About Michael Jackson’s Pet Chimp, Is No Longer Happening By Chris Evangelista/May 24, 2019 6:30 am EST However, Waititi has officially departed, and his departure has inspired Netflix to cancel the project entirely. Waititi’s leaving is being chalked up to scheduling difficulties with the live-action Akira he’s directing, but it’s also highly likely the project is dead in the water due to Leaving Neverland, the disturbing HBO documentary that rekindled talk of Jackson’s alleged sexual misconduct with children....

‘Invincible’ Trailer: There’s A New Superhero In Town From The Creator Of ‘The Walking Dead’ By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 19, 2021 3:30 pm EST New Invincible Trailer Even though the style of this animated series feels like it calls back to the superhero shows of the 1990s like X-Men: The Animated Series and Spider-Man: The Animated Series, this is clearly geared towards adults. There’s a lot of graphic animated violence and blood, not to mention mature themes, but the real draw seems to be the complex relationship between Mark and his father....
