Actress Linda Hamilton is joining the cast of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” for its 5th and final season. The streamer made the announcement during a fan event in São Paulo, Brazil. There are currently no details on what role Hamilton will be playing. Though she does fit in perfectly with the 1980s nostalgia-drenched theme of “Stranger Things.” Since she is probably best known for playing Sarah Connor in “The Terminator” franchise, which absolutely dominated 80s pop culture. And it’s a role she recently revived for 2019’s “Terminator: Dark Fate.” She was also nominated for an Emmy and two Golden Globe awards…

Disney+ released the documentary “Stan Lee” about the life of the Marvel Comics icon. While Lee claimed to be the visionary co-creator behind a large portion of the Marvel Comics canon, those claims have been repeatedly contested by both the late Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and their estates.

As if the “Barbie: The Movie” hype train couldn’t gain any more steam, star Margot Robbie just gave Architectural Digest a tour of the dream house set. Let’s just say we now fully understand how it caused a pink paint shortage. Robbie gushes over the fun, but admittedly impractical, slide from her bedroom down to her pool. She also revealed the pool has no water, since water, fire, and all other elements don’t exist in Barbie Land. This also means all her showering and teeth brushing are just mimed. Like children would while playing with a real Barbie doll. Even…

With “The Flash” currently in theaters, director Andy Muschietti and producer/sister Barbara Muschietti are the talks of the town. So much so, Muschietti has been confirmed to direct the upcoming “Batman: Brave And The Bold” live-action. The duo also signed a multi-year first-look deal with Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Bros. Television Group/Max under their Double Dream banner. Which is fitting, since they are already developing the “It” prequel series “Welcome to Derry” for HBO. There have been rumors about Muschietti directing the  “Batman: Brave And The Bold” project. With the ongoing WGA strike, no one though any moves would…

With the help of her Fairy Godmother (Henstridge) she will pursue blood-soaked vengeance against her tormentors. The film also stars Stephanie Lodge (“Cerebrum”), Beatrice Fletcher (“Croc!”), Megan Purvis (“It Came from Below”), and Darrell Griggs (“Pterodactyl”). Production on “Cinderella’s Revenge” is…

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro hopes the current boom of animated feature films will help studios take on more adventurous projects. Since movies like “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” are undeniably dominating the box office, it seems that there is a growing demand for titles that studios in the past may have written off as not profitable.  “The three hits of Spider-Verse, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mario are moving things, allowing a little more latitude, but there are still big fights to be had,” del Toro said during a speech at the Annecy Animation Festival.…
