Attack the Block 2 With John Boyega and Joe Cornish Is Finally a Go

It should go without saying that when given the opportunity, people will sit down to watch movies in which John Boyega plays characters who somehow end up fighting aliens hellbent on colonizing vulnerable planets. While the actor’s Star Wars run may have come to an end, there’s always been another franchise audiences have hoped he…

HBO Max Is Moving Forward With Another Try at Adapting Snow Crash

If you ask any random fan off the street how to get into cyberpunk or science fiction influenced by cyberpunk, there’s a solid chance they’re going to tell you to read Snow Crash.
