In 2021, the first issue of “BRZRKR,” written by Keanu Reeves and Eisner-nominee Matt Kindt, with art by Ron Garney, hit comic shops. According to publisher BOOM!, it has since sold 3.5 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling comic books of the past decade. In 2024, the  “BRZRKR” novel “The Book of Elsewhere” by Reeves and China Miéville became a New York Times best-seller. Of course, that means it’s getting the live-action adaptation treatment.

Mamma Mia, here we go again. Amanda Seyfried (“The Dropout”), star of the ABBA-based “Mama Mia!” films, has confirmed that the third installment is coming… eventually. “Mamma Mia! 3 is happening,” Seyfried said in an Entertainment Tonight interview shared on Reddit. “It’s going to happen in Greece, hopefully before 2038.” When pushed by the interviewer on how far along in the production process it was, she said it wasn’t actively in production, just yet. For Seyfried “Mama Mia! 3″ would “ideally” begin shooting in summer 2026. However, she admits that timeframe would work best for her schedule. “It’s going to have to…

Growing up, we think it was pretty much everyone’s dream to own a replica of their favorite “Star Wars” characters’ lightsaber. For fans of Mara Jade Skywalker, that dream may soon be your reality. Disney and Lucasfilm are releasing a lightsaber hilt based on the beloved character. The catch is these will be very limited-edition, with only 3,500 produced worldwide across the parks and online store. For those lucky enough to nab one these sets, they include a highly detailed purple Legacy Lightsaber Hilt, a limited-edition issue #1 comic book with a variant cover of the comic version of “Mara…

We have yet another confusing cast announcement about “Scream 7,” from Spyglass and Paramount Pictures. David Arquette will be returning to the slasher franchise as Deputy Dewey Riley. Arquette joins Scott Foley and Matthew Lillard in reprising characters that were thought/proven to be dead in the franchise.  Plot details and specifics about these character’s returns are strictly under wraps at this time. But outside of hallucinations or just full on retconning everyone’s demise, we have no idea how they are going to pull this off. Arquette will be joining fellow legacy cast members Foley, Lillard, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Mason…

We’re going to need a bigger boat game shelf. NECA is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” with an updated release of “The Game of Jaws.” This new release features state-of-the-art, detailed sculpting, and paint applications on the infamous 15-inch shark. This is as close as it gets to looking like the shark featured on screen.  The objective of the game remains the same though, players need to use a spear to get items out of the shark’s belly before his teeth clamp down. “The Game of Jaws” comes with over 15 different accessories to fish out including…

In 2009, Walt Disney Animation Studios released “The Princess and the Frog,” introducing princess Tiana. The House of Mouse is scrapping both a series and feature-length project for Disney+ centered on the character. This is all part of a larger initiative by the studio to abandon original longform streaming content. According to a company spokesman, this shift will also mean some layoffs in its Vancouver studio. “Tiana” was first announced in 2020 and was intended to be a musical with Anika Noni Rose reprising the titular role. The show’s development just couldn’t get off the ground, even after undergoing several…
