Namely, making Chucky scary again. Mancini first took over directing the Chucky franchise with the undeniably campy Seed of Chucky. His follow-ups, Curse of Chucky and…

This year, Joe Dante’s werewolf classic The Howling celebrates its 45th anniversary. During Studiocanal’s CinemaCon panel, executive Hugh Spearing says the studio will be “reimagining” the 1981 film. Dante’s movie is very loosely based on 1977 novel of the same name by Gary Brandner. It’s unclear at this time if it will be a more faithful adaptation or a completely new take on the idea.

Prices are going up everywhere, from necessities like food to escapism like video games. For example, Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox are retailing for $650 to $900, plus the cost of games. These steep price tags, coupled with stagnant wages, have some old-school gamers arguing it has become a luxury hobby.  And it looks like Xbox’s new CEO, Asha Sharma, agrees. In a leaked memo obtained by The Verge, Sharma specifically goes after Game Pass. Which makes sense given that the subscription service is in hot water with fans due to raising its price 2 years in a row.  “Short…

Dunham created, wrote, starred in, and directed the 2010s phenomenon at just 23 years old. This youth and inexperience, predictably, led to some situations getting out of control. On the show, Adam Sackler (Driver) is Hannah Horvath’s (Dunham) on-again-off-again boyfriend. She claims that while shooting all 6 seasons of Girls, Driver was “spectacularly rude to her.” In Famesick, she recounts him throwing a chair at the wall next to her and screaming…

It contained claims that the long-awaited book was not only completed, but it was also set to be released this year.  Today, Martin’s publisher, Bantam Books, has debunked this as just another rumor.
