How The New Friday The 13th Movie Will Change Jason


As Paramount prepares to relaunch their famous Friday The 13th franchise, there are some key decisions that have to be made. Found footage is no longer a concern, the writers want to cover why Jason Voorhees can get back up after he's been dealt a killing blow, and in a new twist of the tale, his origin will be changing to a certain degree. During an interview with The Reel World, during press rounds for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, producer Brad Fuller was invited to comment on his work with that other hot ticket franchise that ...

Batman V Superman, As Done By Robot Chicken, Is Vulgar And Hilarious


When it comes to a battle against Batman V Superman, you need two things: strength and cunning. Though if Robot Chicken's latest DC flavored sketch below is any indication, you're going to need one more key factor to survive said battle: patience, and loads of it.  You can thank the industrious folks at Robot Chicken for this profanity fueled tirade, as it was by their hand that this parody of Batman asking Superman if he bleeds came to life. In fact, it looks like Bats doesn't even care about anything at that point, except for going all the way to re-enforce the ...

Hero Blend #92: Our Hopes For The Future Of Black Panther


As the kick-off film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Three, Captain America: Civil War helped get us excited for all of the franchise's films that are set to come out in the next four years – but Black Panther has certainly piqued our interest more than most. Chadwick Boseman delivers a commanding and fantastic performance in his first time out as T'Challa, the lead warrior and king of Wakanda, and we can't wait to see what else he does with the role. Of course, as exciting as it will be to see more of Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa, we're also ...

The Cool Cameo That Was Cut Out Of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows boasts a large cast, but its not just filled with famous characters from the mythology of the reptilian heroes. The movie is also including a decent amount of cameos, like the New York Knicks player Carmelo Anthony. One of the people who was supposed to peek their head into the movie was Judith Hoag, the actress who played April O Neil in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. However, longtime Turtles fans will be disappointed to learn that Hoag will not be featured as originally intended. As Comic Book ...

The Weird Game Of Thrones Prank Emilia Clarke Played On The Set Of Me Before You


Actors often look for different ways to keep themselves entertained during the laborious days of shooting a film, especially when it’s quite a weighty and emotional project. That’s certainly the case with Me Before You, which revolves around the burgeoning romantic relationship between a paraplegic young man and his carer. Thankfully, the film’s stars, Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin, were able to remain in good spirits on set by playing pranks on each other. One of these saw Emilia Clarke accuse Sam Claflin of stealing a Daenerys Targaryen doll from her, even though she' ...

Why Stephen Amell Passed On Research Before Filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2


You'd have thought that Stephen Amell would have spent a long time reading comics and watching cartoons after being cast as Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows. But Amell has now admitted that his preparation ahead of the blockbuster was actually drastically different, as he revealed that he avoided getting "bogged down in research" so that he could make the role of Casey Jones his own. Stephen Amell made this admission to me towards the end of last month when I sat down to discuss his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The ...

Zootopia Just Scored Yet Another Massive Box Office Milestone


Nobody could have expected that Zootopia would do as well as it has in theaters. We're not disputing the fact that Disney is a bona fide box office giant, but the film has defied even the most generous expectations to become a worldwide phenomenon. The simple story of a fox and a rabbit took on an insanely mature allegorical meaning, and elevated the film beyond many of the lowbrow animated features that have hit theaters lately. We've reported extensively on Zootopia's immense financial success, but its latest accolade is by far its most impressive.   A new report from Forbes has ...

Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice did well at the box office, but it didn't necessarily connect with every member of the audience. Heck, the movie's supporting cast (personified by Jeremy Irons) recently came out and dismissed Dawn of Justice as "overstuffed." The negative reactions even led to a Sad Affleck meme, but we might be able to perk the Batman actor up, because one very important person weighed in on the side of his Dark Knight.

That being said, 16 years is a long time to commit to anything, and that has many of us wondering how long he will stick by Marvel's misunderstood mutants after X-Men: Apocalypse.

Alice Through The Looking Glass Looks To Be This Year's Next Big Flop


Earlier this year, we went out on a limb and predicted Alice Through The Looking Glass had the potential to be both one of 2016's biggest flops or modest hits.

Never mind that Paul Feig's remake isn't redoing the original movie beat by beat... or that the existence of Ghostbusters (2016) will do nothing at all to the existence of Ghostbusters (1984).
