William Golding’s 1954 novel “Lord of the Flies” is considered required reading in most middle school English classes. It’s kind of surprising that such a classic novel would only have a few film adaptations, with zero attempts at making a series, until now… On February 8th, the BBC premiered the 4-part  “Lord of the Flies” mini-series, and after a small flood of offers, Netflix has secured the rights to it.  “Lord of the Flies” is directed by Marc Munden (“The Sympathizer”), from a script by Jack Thorne (“The Hack”). The novel it’s based on tells the story of several young…

Unfortunately, Netflix’s “Terminator Zero” will not be back for a second season. The streamer has decided to cancel the animated series after only one season.  Creator Mattson Tomlin broke the news via X. “Netflix was really great about supporting the show and giving me tremendous creative freedom to do what I wanted to do. Good partners,” the post reads. “The show was expensive and very time consuming. The only way they could justify it was if the audience showed up for it, and they just didn’t.” “I’ll also say they offered to let me do 2, maybe 3 episodes more…

Last year, it was revealed Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence) would direct a 4th installment of the 90s “The Mummy” franchise, from a script by David Coggeshall. And as we all hoped, the main stars WILL return! Universal’s reboot of the classic monster film “The Mummy” hit theaters in 1999, and starred Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. The movie was a huge hit, successfully blending action, horror, and comedy in a way that felt fresh. It spawned “The Mummy Returns” in 2001 and “The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor” in 2008 (for which Weisz did not return).  Not…

Filmmaker Edgar Wright (“Last Night In Soho”) is a big fan of physical media in the age of digital-only releases.

To promote these releases, he even teased some special screenings of the film in Los Angeles, London, and Glasgow.  Details on those screenings will be announced by Wright in the hopefully not-too-distant future. Wright did, however, spill the beans on all the extras these physical releases will have. (You can actually pre-order it now!) “In the meantime, here’s the cover…

Canadian actor William Shatner (“Star Trek”) and Bronx-born astrophysicist/author Neil deGrasse Tyson may not seem to have much in common. But the pair are actually really good friends! These BFFs had an almost 5-hour chat and have released it as the new audio original program, “Cosmos Confidential: Bill & Neil’s Excellent Bromance.” “One more: 2026 — Star Trek’s 60th Anniversary,” Tyson posted. “I shat with William Shatner for 5-hrs in his LA backyard. We shared personal stories of our lives & careers that we’ve never before shared publicly.” We’re pretty sure “shat” isn’t a typo, given the attached video talks…

The life story of disgraced former professional cyclist Lance Armstrong is polarizing, to say the least.
