Australia Just Released a New Ghostbusters Trailer With More Chris Hemsworth

A non-Ukrainian version of yesterday’s international Ghostbusters trailer is now available, courtesy of Australia. If you want to understand what Chris Hemsworth’s receptionist is saying, why he drew a ghost with giant boobs, or see “Four scientists” changed to the more correct “Four friends,” it’s well worth a watch. [Sony Australia] Contact the author at…

Superman Is Back to Being Superman Again

If you’ve been following along with Superman and Action Comics over the past few months, you know that Superman hasn’t exactly been all that super lately. He’s not had his supersuit, he’s been depowered, and had his secret identity leaked. But it’s time for all that to change (back). Spoilers ahead for Action Comics #50,…

Here’s an Amazing First Look at Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze’s Black Panther

Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze’s Black Panther is one of our most anticipated comics of the year, and it’s looking so good.

See Spider-Man Meet Agents of SHIELD‘s Fitz and Simmons

Here’s a clip! Spider-Man and Iron Spider (who is actually Hulk’s pal Amadeus Cho, if you haven’t been watching) recruit FitzSimmons’ help…

The Incredible Scifi Short ‘True Skin’ Is Getting Adapted by Amazon

Four years ago, Stephan Zlotescu’s “True Skin” blew us away with how off-the-wall it was. For a little while, it was supposed to become full-length film at Warner Bros. But now it’s found a home as an hour-long series at Amazon. The original short followed a man in a future where everyone is augmented. Short…

Two Nightmare on Elm Street Stars Will Reunite for a New Indie Horror Movie

Two horror icons are set to star in Midnight Man, the latest from Travis Zariwny, who helmed the recent Cabin Fever remake: Robert Englund, aka Freddy Krueger, and Lin Shaye, who’s probably best-known to genre fans via the Insidious films—though she cameos as a high school teacher in Nightmare on Elm Street. Aside from the…

Hooray! Gattaca‘s Andrew Niccol Is Making Another Dystopian Thriller

At this point, Andrew Niccol has become synonymous with weird dystopias. Gattaca, Truman Show, In Time, Lord of War… even The Host, based on a Stephenie Meyer novel. Now he’s making a dystopia about our surveillance state, with his In Time co-star, Amanda Seyfried. Anon, his next dystopia, comes on the heels of Good Kill,…

The Young Han Solo Movie Will Explain How He and Chewbacca Came To Be

Fans know very little about the 2018 Han Solo movie, except that it’ll be directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. But the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, just dropped a key piece of information about a supporting character in the film. A very obvious, very tall, and very hairy supporting character. “We have other…

Janelle Monae Will Co-Star in a Movie About the Women Behind the Space Program

Henson. Hidden Figures comes out in January 2017, on Martin Luther King Day weekend, and it’s based on a…

Lucifer Is the Clear Winner in the Monday Night Satanic TV Derby

The dark lords of television have arranged it so that on Mondays, you can watch Lucifer at 9pm on Fox, then switch over to A&E for Damien at 10pm. The jury’s still out on Damien—we weren’t super-stoked on the first episode—but Lucifer turned in one of its best yet with “Wingman,” as the relationship between…

The Animated Ghostbusters Movie Has a Director and Is, Apparently, Happening

Sony’s banking hard on new Ghostbusters content saving them putting them back in the black. In that vein, they’ve gotten a move on with their long-rumored animated Ghostbusters movie, hiring Fletcher Moules to direct it. Moules is the animator and director behind those Clash of Clans commercials that you can’t escape no matter how hard…

The Real Reason Why Shannara Chronicles Failed to Copy the Success of Game of Thrones

The Shannara Chronicles is a strange TV show. It’s clearly the result of some producer’s desire to replicate the crazy success of HBO’s Game of Thrones, but it fell way short. And maybe the reason is because Shannara is a standard-issue epic fantasy, and Game of Thrones is something different. Science fiction and fantasy are…

We’ve only just gotten our first look at Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters movie.

‘iMom’ Will Haunt Your Dreams

“iMom” isn’t a short with a brand new idea or even a totally shocking plot twist. There are many stories about what happens when a piece of technology takes over a quintessentially human function (in this case, mothering). What is great about iMom, though, is the execution. Matilda Brown plays the robotic iMom better than…
