Now that he is out of prison, he is planning a follow-up festival which he swears is legit this time.  The First Fyre Festival McFarland’s first attempt at this festival promised attendees luxury villas, gourmet food, and an extravagant music festival in the Bahamas. And, of course, with a ticket price that reflects such luxuries. But can you really put a price tag on what should be a once in a lifetime experience? Instead, concertgoers were mostly housed in FEMA disaster relief tents and fed cheese sandwiches…

Prime Video’s “Good Omens” has reportedly paused production on the series’ third and final season. The show centers around a fussy angel and a loose-living demon who must come together to stop armageddon. It is based on the 1990 novel by Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett. While “Good Omens” had already begun shooting in Scotland, sources say there are “discussions about possible production changes.” There are supposedly many factors involved in the decision, but it’s assumed it’s mostly due to several sexual assault allegations made against Gaiman. Tortoise Media released a 4-part podcast “Master: the Allegations Against Neil Gaiman”…

Since 1970, Oscar-winner Kathy Bates has been lighting up the stage and screens both large and small. Unfortunately, decades in the entertainment industry take a large and often unnecessary toll on a person, and Bates has not been spared from this.

Abandoned Retirement As you can imagine, a highly acclaimed performer doesn’t walk away from a well-established career willy-nilly. Bates originally planned to retire after things went south on an unnamed film. “It becomes my life,” she told the New York…

Numskull Designs’ Countdown Character line is adding a horror icon with a bit of a twist to the collection. The newest addition is the legendary Michael Myers from the “Halloween” franchise.

This new Michael Myers figure features thirteen unlucky pieces that click together to create a striking statue of the knife-wielding maniac. All the parts are housed in a stunning collector’s box with drawers and individual boxes. Meaning, you can also use this…

We’ve seen plenty of Kickstarter campaigns to make or even finish the production of a movie. But we don’t think we’ve ever seen one to extend a film’s theatrical run.
