Filmmaker Mike Flanagan is continuing his mission to adapt every single Stephen King property. This time, he has his sights set on the 1980 novella, “The Mist.” The IP was previously adapted into a 2007 film directed by Frank Darabont, and a 2017 series for Paramount.

Last year, it was revealed Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence) would direct a 4th installment of the 90s “The Mummy” franchise, from a script by David Coggeshall. And as we all hoped, the main stars WILL return! Universal’s reboot of the classic monster film “The Mummy” hit theaters in 1999, and starred Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. The movie was a huge hit, successfully blending action, horror, and comedy in a way that felt fresh. It spawned “The Mummy Returns” in 2001 and “The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor” in 2008 (for which Weisz did not return).  Not…

To promote these releases, he even teased some special screenings of the film in Los Angeles, London, and Glasgow.  Details on those screenings will be announced by Wright in the hopefully not-too-distant future. Wright did, however, spill the beans on all the extras these physical releases will have. (You can actually pre-order it now!) “In the meantime, here’s the cover…

Canadian actor William Shatner (“Star Trek”) and Bronx-born astrophysicist/author Neil deGrasse Tyson may not seem to have much in common. But the pair are actually really good friends! These BFFs had an almost 5-hour chat and have released it as the new audio original program, “Cosmos Confidential: Bill & Neil’s Excellent Bromance.” “One more: 2026 — Star Trek’s 60th Anniversary,” Tyson posted. “I shat with William Shatner for 5-hrs in his LA backyard. We shared personal stories of our lives & careers that we’ve never before shared publicly.” We’re pretty sure “shat” isn’t a typo, given the attached video talks…

The life story of disgraced former professional cyclist Lance Armstrong is polarizing, to say the least.

It does confirm that the first officially licensed Pokémon pinball machines will soon be on the market! The machine will come in three…
