Fan Creates Alternate Star Wars: The Force Awakens Opening Based on J.J. Abrams’ Original Storyboards

Fans were giddy and nervous as they sat down to view J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015, not sure what to expect from the start of a new trilogy. The opening scene was nothing short of dramatic, but an alternate fan-animated version based on Abrams’ storyboards is arguably even more so. Animator…

Here’s How Much Planning It Takes to Bring Doctor Who‘s Gigantic Comic Crossovers to Life

Doctor Who fans love a good crossover. Multi-Doctor stories are huge events—especially on TV, where they’re phenomenally hard to pull-off—but what about in the realm of comics, where the budget is limitless and the actors never age? Turns out, it’s just as hard. Over the past few years, Titan’s line of Doctor Who comics has…

Of Course We’re Getting a Jumanji Sequel

Jordan Peele Says He Will Seriously Consider a Sequel to Get Out

Get Out is back in theaters thanks to its Academy Award nominations, but writer-director Jordan Peele is continuing to look toward the future.

13 Horror and Fantasy Movies and TV Shows Inspired by Urban Legends

Eerie entertainment frequently takes inspiration from urban legends, with good reason—nothing’s scarier than a fantastical tale that still feels like it just might be true. TV shows like The X-Files and Supernatural have made liberal use of contemporary folklore over the years, and plenty of feature films have been made in the same vein, too.…

Kendrick Lamar Was Only Going to Do a Few Songs for Black Panther… Until He Saw the Movie

Black Panther is one of the most-anticipated superhero films to date, so it’s no surprise it also has an equally hyped soundtrack. This weekend will see the release of Black Panther: The Album, curated and produced by Kendrick Lamar. This was a collaboration dreamed up years in advance, but only became what it was after…

A Game of Thrones Director Is Developing a Conan the Barbarian TV Series

We have confirmation on a few new Solo character names. The X-Files’ Chris Carter has begun to ponder if maybe he shouldn’t end the series after Gillian Anderson leaves. There have been some major changes in the world of Jurassic World since the events of the first film, especially for Bryce Dallas Howard’s character. “Conan,…

Surreal Horrors Invade the Backwoods in Loopy Scifi Short Crittus

The wilderness is a favorite staging ground for horror filmmakers—but Marcus Alqueres’ short Crittus adds some extra dimensions to that concept. Literally. Without spoiling anything, suffice to say this depicts maybe the worst worst-case scenario that could come from a solo camping trip. A few years ago, we shared Canadian-Brazilian filmmaker Alqueres’ apocalyptic short Lasiurus, which…

Pacific Rim Uprising‘s Japanese Trailer Gives Us a Little More Mako Mori

The two Pacific Rim Uprising trailers we’ve had so far have promised more of everything we loved from the first film. More giant robots, more giant monsters, that sort of thing. But they’ve been a bit scant on something else we want more of: Rinko Kikuchi’s returning hero from the first film, Mako. This new…

Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther Casting Story Is What Dreams Are Made Of

The day Chadwick Boseman found out Marvel Studios wanted him to play Black Panther, he may as well have woken up in another world. He was in Europe promoting another movie, hadn’t heard that Marvel was casting the role, and didn’t even have international calling on his cell phone. “We were in Zurich,” Boseman said…

There’s a new Cloverfield movie out, so obviously it’s time to talk about some of its mysteries and how all the films connect.

My Favorite Character on Star Trek: Discovery Is the One I Initially Hated the Most

Cadet Sylvia Tilly, the youngest member of the USS Discovery’s crew, is wide-eyed, brainy, chatty, and intensely chipper. When the character (played by Mary Wiseman) first showed up in episode three, she made me cringe. But over the course of the season, she has completely won me over. Discovery’s first two episodes chart the deadly…

Yes. Yes, there could. io9 is excited to exclusively debut the below clip, which is the director’s introduction to the upcoming home release of Marvel’s Thor:…

Listen to the Full Version of the Kanye West Cover Used in the New Westworld Trailer

The first season of HBO’s Westworld had a lot of standout qualities, but one of the coolest style tricks it regularly used was placing unexpected versions of pop songs in key scenes—like an orchestral version of “Paint it Black” during a shootout, or the player piano plinking out “Black Hole Sun” as Maeve prepared to…

The third Cloverfield movie, The Cloverfield Paradox, was unexpectedly released on Netflix Sunday night.
