Hi, I’m Amy. I like long walks in the graveyard, horror movies, comic books, and bringing you the latest in nerd-centric news.

While there have been several rumors about “Highlander” reboots, there can be only one, and it is FINALLY making some progress! For the first time, Lionsgate will launch sales at the American Film Market (AFM) on their long-gestating fantasy reboot. “Highlander” already has some serious talent attached with Henry Cavill set to star and Chad Stahelski attached to direct. Stahelski is best known for creating the action-packed “John Wick” franchise. He has already talked about the film being like “John Wick” with swords. And if we learned anything from “The Witcher” it’s that Cavill has certainly studied the blade.  It…

Former Marvel editor-in-chief and co-creator of “Werewolf by Night” Roy Thomas recently released “Les Ghouls,” a film he made as a teen in 1958. Long before he was bringing Werewolves to comics, let alone Disney+, he was making low-budget horror flicks with his buddies. “Les Ghouls” was shot in Thomas’ hometown of Jackson, Missouri. Like most aspiring filmmakers, he used his friend group as performers, including Gary Friedrich. The duo would go on to co-create the character Ghost Rider while they were both working at Marvel. The film pays homage to the 1948 classic “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein,” a…

Netflix has just released the first trailer for Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” a biopic about the life of famed conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein. Cooper directed, starred in, and co-wrote the upcoming feature film with Josh Singer. In the trailer, we see Bernstein (Cooper) and Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligan) jump through time to different points in their relationship. We watch them experience love, betrayal, and most of all music on their journey. The film focuses more on the composer’s relationship with Montealegre than his professional success. “If summer doesn’t sing in you then nothing sings in you,” says an elderly Bernstein…

FX just released the trailer for “Fargo” season 5, and fans of Dorothy “Dot” Lyon (Juno Temple) are in for a real treat. It opens with the police telling Dot’s husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) that his wife “isn’t who she says she is.” While they speak we are shown a montage of her fending off two would-be home invaders with a variety of boobytraps. While housewives in North Dakota can certainly be crafty, this is a bit more violent than you’d expect from someone putting on such a timid persona. We cut to Wayne’s mother Lorraine Lyon (Jennifer Jason Leigh)…

The play is based on the 1951 play “I Am a Camera,” by John Van Druten, which is an adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s…

We expect superhero movies to be riddled with drama, but the alleged behind-the-scenes antics on “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” are a (sea)horse of a different color. Director James Wan has now addressed the rumors of endless reshoots and on-set kerfuffles. “We probably did seven or eight days [of reshoots],” Wan told Empire Magazine. “Nothing for a movie of this size. It was just spread out because it’s so hard to get your actors back once you’ve finished the initial shoot.” This isn’t the first time Wan has addressed reshoot rumors either. “We have big actors in this movie, and…

Actress Devery Jacobs is best known for playing Elora on FX and Hulu’s “Reservation Dogs.” She recently took to X (formally Twitter) to share some passionate remarks about the portrayal of Osage characters in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” It’s a film based on the true events of the Reign of Terror, which resulted in the murders of at least 60 members of the Osage nation in the 1920s. “Being Native, watching this movie was fucking hellfire,” Jacobs writes. “Imagine the worst atrocities committed against yr ancestors, then having to sit thru a movie explicitly filled w/ them,…
