Warner Bros. Discovery is wasting no time in loading up its streaming platform, MAX. The service launches on May 23rd, and will replace HBO Max, with added content from Discovery+. One of the big projects announced is a new tv series based on “The Conjuring” horror franchise. Plot details are still under wraps, and there is no writer attached currently. The series will “continue the story established in the feature films.” Which doesn’t really narrow it down too much, considering the eight films in the series all cover very different subjects in a shared universe. Three revolve around demonologists Ed and…

FOX will be sending celebrities to Mars (kinda) in a new competition series. Aptly titled “Stars on Mars,” the show will be hosted by none other than “Star Trek’s” Captain James Tiberius Kirk, William Shatner! Fitting, since Shatner recently became the oldest man to reach space while he served as mission control on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin ride. “Stars on Mars” will send a group of celebrities to a mock red planet where they must live, eat, sleep, strategize, and get along. While they aren’t actually going into space, they will be living in a similar situation to a group…

Discovery, among several big announcements, confirmed a new spinoff of “The Big Bang Theory” from series creator Chuck Lorre will be one of the “flagship” shows. The original sitcom ran for 12 seasons on CBS. Its first spinoff, “Young Sheldon,” is currently in its 6th season. Not much is known about the new series’ plot at this time. The new series will take place in the same universe…

Filmmakers Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber, the duo behind “Cam” and “How to Blow up a Pipeline,” have started shooting a remake of “Faces of Death.” The relaunch of this shocking franchise is being backed by Legendary Entertainment.

The original “Faces of Death” was written and directed by John Allan Schwartz and released in 1978. Where it almost immediately became infamous for its shocking, and supposedly real, depictions of graphic violence. While movies that were essentially just clip after clip of real-life atrocities…

Filmmaking collective Radio Silence is being tapped for a new Universal Monster movie. While little is known about which monster they may be working with, it’s currently rumored to be either “Dracula’s Daughter” or the “Bride of Frankenstein.” The former being based on an earlier report the project at one point was titled “Dracula’s Daughter.” It is also assumed this film will follow Universal’s recent trend of films like “The Invisible Man” and “Renfield,” giving more modern takes on the companies’ classic monsters.  Radio Silence is made up of filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villell. The collective has been…

Dethklok, the real-life version of the cartoon band from Adult Swim series “Metalocalypse” and Japanese kawaii-metal band Babymetal will be co-headlining a North American tour. With support from guitarist Jason Richardson, who has played in bands like Chelsea Grin, Born of Osiris, and All Shall Perish. Affectionately called the “Babyklok tour,” it’s probably the most unique lineup we’ve seen in a while. Babyklok will be Dethklok’s first tour in 11 years and Babymetal hasn’t toured North America since 2019. This will be Babymetal’s first U.S. performance with their newly-appointed third member, Momometal. This tour was also announced the same day…

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation needs some help. Apparently, if they get 1 million likes on a single tweet, their boss will name her baby, “Armadillo.” The post has already amassed 127.5K likes in just under 24 hours, making this the second post from the department to go viral. “I’m traveling today to Beaver Bend for another project, so we were hoping to post something quick that wouldn’t generate a lot of questions or need to be monitored,” said the department’s social media coordinator, Sarah Southerland with a laugh. “That was not the case.” Kelly Adams, Communication and Education…

Chris Gore’s “Attack of the Doc!” just got a spiffy new trailer! This upcoming film seeks to explore what actually happened to G4TV and its flagship show “Attack of The Show!” Which launched the careers of hosts Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira. It was a daily series that centered around video games, technology, movies, comic books, the internet, and pop culture. The series debuted in March of 2005 and ran until 2013 when it was abruptly canceled. At a time, social media was still in its infancy, this was one of the best ways to stay on top of “nerdy”…

Disney has just dropped the second trailer for their newest live-action reboot “Peter Pan & Wendy.” In 1953, Disney did an animated and very loose adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s classic novel “Peter Pan.” To be fair, you kind of have to tone down how homicidal the characters in the novel are to be family-friendly. “Peter Pan & Wendy” follows Wendy Darling (Ever Anderson), a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind. That is until she meets the legendary Peter Pan (Alexander Molony), a boy who refuses to grow up. With the aid of the tiny fairy Tinker…
