Electric Warriors Will Look at the Unexplored Dark Ages of the Future DC Universe

When you think about the future in the DC universe, a few iconic stories and franchises will pop into your head. Kingdom Come. The Legion of Super-Heroes. DC One Million. Electric Warriors wants to do something different: show people what happens to Earth after its superheroic legacies fade away hundreds of years from now. There’s…

Christopher Robin Won’t Release in China, and It Could Be for a Very Odd Reason [Updated]

Most of the world will get to see the depressing adventures of a grown-up Christopher Robin in Disney’s Christopher Robin live-action movie this month, but China won’t—because the country’s film authorities have just denied the film a release, with rumors swirling about an old meme as the possible reason. Since the ‘90s, China has had…

I Went to Die Hard’s Nakatomi Plaza and Not a Single Hostage Was Taken

Of all the filming locations scattered around Los Angeles, one towers above them all. Literally. It’s Fox Plaza in Century City, better known by its fictional name “Nakatomi Plaza,” the setting of John McTiernan’s 1988 classic Die Hard. The building can be viewed from all across Los Angeles and has changed surprisingly little in the…

Disney Reportedly Wants the Star Wars Broadcast Rights Back for Its New Streaming Service

Basically, Disney wants to alter the deal. And it’s hoping that TBS and TNT are praying it doesn’t want to alter it any further. Back in 2016, when the idea of Disney setting up its own rival to Netflix was but a mere twinkle in Bob Iger’s massively wealthy eye, Disney capitalized on its acquisition…

Christopher Robin Is Incredibly Dreary for What Should Be a Happy Trip Down Memory Lane

Remember the first time you tried alcohol? How it was gross and off-putting but eventually it got better? Later, maybe you grew to like it but you always knew something wasn’t right about it? That was the first (admittedly strange) thing I thought of after seeing Disney’s Christopher Robin, a movie that starts weird, gets…

Cool Fan Film Envisions a New Chapter in the Cloverfield Sci-Fi Saga

The Cloverfield universe might have hit a major snag with the latest film, Cloverfield: Paradox, but a new fan film is (unofficially) continuing the saga in a way that makes me want to give J.J. Abrams a call and tell him: “Hey, J.J! It’s your cousin, Marvin Abrams. You know that new film you’ve been…

Read an Excerpt From Garrison Girl, the First Full-Length English Attack on Titan Novel

The grim world of Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan manga has evolved into a multimedia franchise as gigantic as its titular titan behemoths, with movies, spinoffs, and a popular anime series. But now the series is doing something a little different: an English-language novel for young adults, and io9 has a sneak peek. Written by Rachel…

A Tree Is Burning in World of Warcraft, and I’m Strangely Sad About It

I started playing World of Warcraft in about 2006, and it’s a testament to the allure of its world—the fantastical war-laden realm of Azeroth—that I’m still playing it 12 years later. In that time, the world of Warcraft has changed so much. And now, ahead if its latest expansion, one big change to that world…

The Batman Gets Some Much-Needed Updates From Matt Reeves

Director Matt Reeves has so far been pretty hush-hush about plans for his upcoming DC Entertainment film, The Batman. Finally, he’s opened up about the movie’s status, what role Ben Affleck might play, and the story we can expect. In short: Don’t believe those Year One rumors. After a Television Critics Association panel about his…

The Origins of Rogue Squadron Now Have a Much Closer Bond to the Star Wars Movies

In the old Star Wars canon, Rogue Squadron—the legendary group of Rebel pilots who faced impossible odds and defied fate on the regular as ace pilot heroes—had a rather pedestrian origin. But now Rogue Group has been given its official, Disney-era origin, and it’s gotten a major connection to the new Star Wars movies in…

The Darkest Minds Feels Like It’s Missing More Than a Few Pages

If you sat down to watch The Darkest Minds without knowing it was based on a book, that information would become abundantly clear about 10 minutes into the film. Almost every scene, especially early on, feels slightly detached from the last, as if some cohesive thread was cut to squeeze a 500-page book into a…

Mission: Impossible‘s Rebecca Ferguson Could Be Joining Men in Black and Doctor Sleep

Rebecca Ferguson is moving on from the latest Mission: Impossible into not one, but two interesting genre roles, with not just more spy-fi, but also a trip into the vast world of Stephen King adaptations too. Deadline reports that Ferguson has closed deals to star in both the part-reboot-part-sequel Men in Black film and the…

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening is delving into the realm of myths and monsters with his new Netflix series, Disenchantment.

The Real Reason Behind the Mission: Impossible/Justice League Mustache Drama Is as Petty As Your Wildest Dreams

Perhaps the most joyful story in moviemaking for the past year has been the ongoing delight of stachegate—the absurdity of a spat between Henry Cavill’s reshoots on last year’s Justice League and filming the just-released Mission: Impossible—Fallout, a tale of impressive follicles and dodgy CGI. And now we know it all started with some good…
