A recent casting announcement has cleared up some lore around the Wes Craven-created “Scream” franchise. In Radio Silence’s 2022 “Scream” reboot Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) makes two references to a husband named Mark. Fans and IMDB were convinced the character married Detective Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey) from “Scream 3.” But casting decision for the next film has blown that theory out of the water. It turns out, Joel McHale (“Community,” “Animal Control”) will be playing Sidney’s husband Mark Evans in the upcoming film. McHale will be joining legacy cast members Courteney Cox and Mason Gooding as Gale Weathers and Chad…

Last year, director Fede Alvarez bought us “Alien: Romulus,” a film designed to take place between 1979’s “Alien” and 1986’s “Aliens.” It also rolled in later franchise entries with references to 1997’s “Alien: Resurrection,” 2012’s “Prometheus,” and the 2014 video game “Alien: Isolation.” Creating a movie heavily steeped in the mythology of its predecessors, while introducing new characters and its own variations. Alvarez says he will take a different path if a sequel to “Romulus” ever comes to fruition.  Alvarez’s Follow-Up “Rodo [Sayagues, co-writer] and I are working on that right now,” Alvarez told Empire. “We’re excited about where it…

Apple TV+’s hit series “Severance” is no stranger to odd concepts but its latest marketing stunt may take the cake. The show set up an office inside of a glass box in the middle of New York City’s bustling Grand Central Station. While the enclosure was originally populated by unknown employees for the ficticious company Lumon Industries. Series stars Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation”), Patricia Arquette (“Gonzo Girl”), Britt Lower (“Darkest Miriam”), Zach Cherry (“Fallout”), and Tramell Tillman (“Sweethearts”) eventually took over the faux office. All under the watchful eye of director Ben Stiller (“Zoolander”), to promote the upcoming second…

Marvel Studios’ upcoming show “Daredevil: Born Again” is slated to hit Disney+ in under two months. While the streamer has released some footage, an official trailer hasn’t materialized yet. Star Vincent D’Onofrio, who is reprising his role as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, explained why it’s been delayed. In a post on X (formally Twitter) about the show a commenter asks “Trailer?” To which D’Onofrio responds, “Postponed because of LA fires. It’s coming.” And the state of California having several out-of-control wildfires is more than enough of a reason to delay a trailer. As it stands, the show is still set…

Investigators in St. Louis are looking into a string of high-dollar thefts from local restaurants. Their target? Used cooking oil. The leftover grease from these restaurants can be processed into biodiesel, jet fuel, and feed for cows/chickens. With more consumers ditching fossil fuels each year, this used grease can now go for a pretty penny. Which is apparently what inspired thieves in St. Louis, IL to go after the substance. In November, two men were caught on camera backing up a truck, and taking all the grease from a restaurant’s tanker. These tankers are usually stored by dumpsters outside since restaurants…

While Hellboy may be half demon, that doesn’t mean he can’t help raise money for those who need it. Mike Mignola, who created the comic book character in 1993, recently listed some rare, signed figures and posters on eBay. If that isn’t cool enough, Mignola will give all the proceeds to World Central Kitchen (WCK). WCK is an organization created by Chef José Andrés, who recently received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that provides fresh meals to people during humanitarian, climate, and community crises. This charity is currently providing relief to those affected by the wildfires in California, and other…

It looks like 2025 will continue the recent trend of horror movie adaptations of beloved childhood characters. “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare” will be the latest addition to the ever-expanding Poohniverse kick started in 2023 with “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.” The upcoming film’s director Scott Chambers recently discussed some of his inspirations for this twisted retelling. Namely the 2016 Australian thriller “Hounds of Love,” directed by Ben Young. That movie tells the story of a suburban husband and wife who abduct teenage girls to abuse and murder them. “There was a lot of manipulation between that couple, and I…
