Shadows of the Empire is one of the most beloved stories in the Star Wars Expanded Universe – but was still excluded from canon in the post-Disney universe. In 1996, Lucasfilm released one of the most important stories in the old Expanded Universe. Shadows of the Empire was a multimedia initiative that feels like a spiritual ancestor of

Amazon is set to find the beat with the upcoming Sound of Metal starring Riz Ahmed which hits select theaters today before moving to Prime Video on December 4. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Darius Marder, who co-wrote the movie with Abraham Marder. Sound of Metal follows punk-metal drummer Ruben (Ahmed) who begins to experience intermittent hearing

“Her” being Virginia Madsen, according to the legendary horror icon. Funny enough, the exclusive was snatched by the nine-year-old host of the Rocking With Jam Man show. (He does know Candyman rated R, right?) Tony Todd definitely made it sound like it’s possible for Helen to make a comeback, as he remains in contact with

Christopher Nolan said the creative freedom he had when making The Dark Knight trilogy wouldn’t exist now. Eight years after its conclusion, Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy is now widely considered one of the greatest movie trilogies ever made. Audiences and critics have particularly praised its overall arc, as each installment seemed to up the ante not just in terms of formidable

Amazon will release their acquisition of Paramount Pictures’ Eddie Murphy sequel Coming 2 America on March 5, 2021. The movie was originally slated for a Dec. 18 theatrical release before Paramount unloaded the feature to Amazon for $125M in a global rights deal, as we first told you. It’s another be global pic launch for Amazon

For the time being, Cruella is expected to come out in theaters in May 2021, and Pinocchio and Peter Pan and Wendy have not been given theatrical release dates yet. Interestingly enough, on the Walt Disney Studios movie page, Cruella is not listed as one of next year’s big releases with The King’s Man, Black

The Princess Switch: Switched Again cast is led by Vanessa Hudgens, but there are plenty of familiar faces in the sequel. The holiday-themed Netflix movie picks up after the events of the 2018 film The Princess Switch, in which an American woman from Chicago trades places with a European Duchess. Directed by Mike Rohl, The Princess Switch: Switched Again follows Princess Stacy

AMC circuit CEO and President Adam Aron did not have words of hate tonight toward Warner Bros’ (actually, let’s be honest, WarnerMedia’s) decision to take their $200M DC superhero sequel Wonder Woman 1984 into theaters and onto HBO Max on Christmas Day. Aron gave his thumbs up, saying that the movie will play at close

Since the decision is also a first for major big-budget releases, a number of fans are concerned as well. Most notably, the global fans of Wonder Woman have been left hanging with this announcement. Right now, theatrical and streaming plans are solely for people living in the U.S., and if audiences in other countries have

Fans of Animal Crossing: New Horizons are finally getting more interactive ways of engaging with their villagers and other players on their islands, as teased in the recent winter update trailer. In addition to Animal Crossing’s Thanksgiving and Christmas event, users now have access to a “Hip Reactions Collection” of new responses and emotes to further customize and represent one’s character.

The Roundabout Theatre Company says it will resume production in Fall 2021 with two much anticipated shows – the COVID-delayed Jeanine Tesori/Tony Kushner musical Caroline, Or Change and Alice Childress’ Trouble In Mind. The planned musical revival of 1776 will now begin performances in Spring 2022. The nonprofit theater company does not have a date

For what it’s worth, while the audience may not be able to pick up the specific speed of the ball as its flying through the air, that extra 30 or 40mph certainly has an impact on the actors’ reaction to being hit, and it results in some fantastic physical comedy (Justin Long’s sacrifice of his

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales follows up on the brand new universe Insomniac Games created on PS4, this time focusing on the fledgling hero. Miles Morales is an entirely different hero from Peter Parker, and his skills are still rough around the edges. Whether it’s in the comics or the animated film Into the Spider-Verse, Miles

EXCLUSIVE: It’s been said that some movies aren’t necessarily born, rather they fight their way to life. A lot of that responsibility falls on the shoulders of a film’s producer, who well after the cameras have turned off, and the set striked, sees a movie through to its endgame. That person in the case of

As I mentioned, this isn’t stuff that Marvel hasn’t done before, so it’s all above the line in terms of lore. With that being said, comic book sales have been on a steady decline for years, with the fact that characters are frequently rebooted, relaunched or killed being an undeniable factor with some of that.

Daredevil has had some twisted relationships with his villains in the comic books. More than once, a villain has stolen his identity and become a new version of the Man Without Fear. Usually, this is done to smear Daredevil’s heroic reputation, as Bullseye once committed multiple homicides in a Daredevil suit to make the public

Refresh for latest…: The international box office continues to be led by Asia, with Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train still enjoying runaway success this weekend. Currently the No. 5 all-time biggest movie in Japan, the anime adaptation should climb up to No. 2 sometime in the next week or so. This session, the cultural

I commend Blumhouse for how well they casted the new coven in The Craft: Legacy, a sequel to the 1996 cult classic about teenage witches. Also, if you ask me, Zoey Luna gave the standout performance among the four main leads in her first of many memorable feature films, I predict. In fact, I think

Warning: contains spoilers for Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #4! The X-Men’s Gambit is the rakish king of thieves who gets in as much trouble as he solves. But it turns out he would also make the perfect zombie hunter, and readers learned in Marvel Zombies: Resurrection by writer Philip Kennedy Johnson (The Last God), artist Leonard Kirk (Supergirl) and colorist

Paramount last night made some nudges on their theatrical release calendar. Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, starring Michael B. Jordan, was removed from on Feb. 26, which is no surprise given that the studio unloaded that title to Amazon. Taking over that date is Lee Daniels’ untitled Billie Holiday movie starring Andra Day in the title role;

I should mention, however, that the corrupt “supes” and (mostly) powerless CIA squadron covertly taking them down in the hit Amazon Prime original, technically, are already DC characters – or once were, at least. Garth Ennis’ comic book series that inspired The Boys was originally a property of the DC-owned brand Wildstorm for its first

Star Wars name-drops Star Trek’s Captain Kirk and Spock in a new canon novel. The two franchises have been compared to each other for decades, as fans debate the pros and cons of each in an attempt to figure out which one is “better.” Regardless of one’s tastes, both of endured in pop culture for a

Neon will bring some passionate romance in Ammonite this weekend. The period pic starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan opened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September where it immediately garnered buzz as an Oscar favorite. Written and directed by Francis Lee, Ammonite is set in the 1840s and follows once-acclaimed paleontologist Mary Anning (Winslet),

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm follows the 2006 cinematic introduction to Sacha Baron Cohen’s hilarious character, which has clearly remained interesting to movie fans with a look at its location of 2020’s biggest streaming wins. Just following the Borat sequel is another exclusive Amazon Prime film, My Spy, a family adventure film starring Dave Bautista. We’re not

Larsa held nothing back (and started trending) when explaining her fallout with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians crew, and now she’s seemingly responded to her tell-all interview with a cryptic post on social media. According to the post, she wants to “let it go.” Larsa appeared on a podcast earlier this week, where she was asked

A decision from Warner Bros. on Wonder Woman 1984’s Christmas Day theatrical fate is imminent, I hear, either tomorrow or by Monday at the latest. The internet is in a tizzy over a Bloomberg article tonight that the sequel to the $821M-plus grossing 2017 DC hit, which broke several records for women at the box office,

Hmm… we are prepared to disagree, but the humbleness is appreciated. The actor characterized a “legend” as someone who accomplished something especially extraordinary that no one else could do. Let’s say, such as Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Gandhi or Albert Einstein. There are many ways to categorize a legend, and in each field has

Here’s how Betty White sitcom Ladies Man acted as something of a Golden Girls reunion for one episode. The Golden Girls debuted on NBC back in 1985 and centered around the friendships between four older ladies living in Miami. There’s Dorothy (Bea Arthur), her mother Sophia (Estelle Getty), Blanche (Rue McClanahan) and Rose (Betty White,

Universal Pictures’ Jennifer Lopez music fueled romantic comedy Marry Me is moving from Presidents Day-Valentine’s Day weekend on the theatrical release calendar next year, Feb. 12 and going to May 14, 2021. Marry Me will take the place of DreamWorks Animation’s Untitled Spirit Riding Free movie which has now been title Spirit Untamed. That animated pic will now open on

Warning: spoilers for The Village are in play. If you’ve somehow escaped spoilers for this M. Night Shyamalan film, and want to remain that way, don’t follow us into the woods. A little over 16 years ago, M. Night Shyamalan was on a hot streak, as his career had delivered three solid hits into the
