Of the many upcoming films we’ve been keeping track of, Zach Cregger’s take on Resident Evil has been one of the big ones. Cregger has made a name for himself off the back to back successes of Barbarian and Weapons. He wrote and directed both of them, helping to make him a driving creative force in the horror genre. The latter even scored an Academy Award win for Amy Madigan in her role as Aunt Gladys. So when we learned about Cregger’s involvement in a reboot of Resident Evil, our interest was piqued. Now we have a teaser of what…

Cable television has needed some success stories lately. The industry as a whole has been hurting something fierce. One of the small victories it could claim was the Adult Swim show, Smiling Friends. The show was in its third season and renewed for two more by the network. Then, the creators abruptly announced that it was over. The third season would be the end. That hasn’t stopped co-creator Michael Cusack from finding another project though. Unfortunately for Adult Swim, it’s going to be on Netflix. The forthcoming show from Cusack is called Dad’s House. “Dad’s House” The details are a…

Globalization and travel has helped bring about wonderful things in cultural diversity. It has also brought about things that shouldn’t. Invasive species are a threat to ecosystems. If a plant or animal goes from one area to another it’s not native to, it can cause havoc. In the state of Florida, the Burmese python is one such invasive species. To fight against it, researchers are turning to the opossum. The Burmese Python is a big snake. Big enough to where it chomps down on various mammals. Because of a lack of natural predators, the python can demolish other populations. It’s…

The world of gaming has been in a state of disarray for a while now. There have been a lot of factors behind this. We’ve had economic changes, issues with tariffs, a chip shortage, and overblown budgets. Studios are hurting and publishers are scrambling. Microsoft and Sony are increasing console prices mid generation. That kind of stuff doesn’t happen. But at least Sony has a much larger console market share than Microsoft does. The Xbox manufacturer knows its losing ground and they’re hoping a Game Pass price cut will help. Price Increases and an Identity Crisis In October of 2025,…

Here at Nerdbot, we’ve been reporting on the upcoming, Practical Magic 2 for a while now. The sequel to the 1998 film has been in the works for a few years. Sandra Bullock, one of the film’s two leads, has been making the press rounds. Warner Bros. has been supporting the project too with a number of press releases and announcements. Now we’ve got a teaser trailer ahead of the film’s September release. If you didn’t see the first film, this trailer gives you no grounds to really understand what’s happening. It’s a very “fan service” oriented preview. The Owens…

The 1980’s were a time of R&R for Sylvester Stallone. No, we don’t mean rest and relaxation. We mean Rambo and Rocky. Throughout the decade, Stallone appeared in three Rambo films and two Rocky pictures. Both franchises continued beyond that to show the future of their respective protagonists. One however, is set to go back into the past. John Rambo is an upcoming prequel we’ve reported on already. It’s set to star Noah Centineo in the title role. Now we know who will play his commanding officer. The History of Rambo It’s actually quite possible that you might not be…

The 1990’s saw an explosion in environmentally conscious media. Cartoons were a big place for this. Need proof? Look at Captain Planet and the Planeteers. That was the poster child for environmentally friendly programming. On the big screen we didn’t see as much of this, but we did have FernGully: The Last Rainforest. This 1992 animated feature was a flop at release. In the 34 years since its release though, it has received a lot of retroactive praise. It’s also getting a live-action remake and we’re very much down for it. Marielle Heller will be bringing FernGully back as both…

On Thursday, April 16th, 2026, CNBC hosted their Changemakers Summit. As a part of this event, Sandra Bullock was there. Joining her was Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group co-chair and CEO, Pam Abdy. Bullock is making the press rounds thanks to her upcoming film, Practical Magic 2. The sequel to the 1998 original is something we’ve had our eye on at Nerdbot for some time. But that’s not the reason Bullock is making news for this summit. Instead, it’s her comments about A.I. that are drawing attention. Bullock’s Troubling Comments The subject of A.I. trailers was brought up. Fans have…

In 1970, Edwin Starr famously sang, “War! Huh, good God y’all! What is it good for?!” His answer to that was “absolutely nothing.” In truth, war has been extremely good for the world of film and video games. The Call of Duty franchise is one of the biggest in all of gaming. The yearly flow of releases has been a big win for Activision/Blizzard over the years. Between the single-player campaigns and especially the multi-player, they’ve kept a steady player base. Only seems natural that the franchise get turned into a movie. Reconnaissance Provides New Information We previously reported that…

Today is a huge day for fans of live music and economic justice. The sins of Ticketmaster and Live Nation are numerous. We’ve reported on them in the past. It was a merger that never should have been approved to begin with. The US Government overlooked the danger of letting a company that controls concert venues, merge with a company that sells tickets to concert venues. What could possibly go wrong? Many many, things in fact. The Verdict On Wednesday, April 15th, the jury in the case against Live Nation effectively ruled that the company exists as a monopoly. We’re…
