Highly anticipated animated comedy “Hazbin Hotel” has an official premiere date! Vivienne Medrano created the original YouTube series, and this version is produced by A24, and Bento Box Entertainment.The series blends adult humor, unforgettable characters, and catchy musical numbers creating a wholly original and unique world. “Hazbin Hotel” follows Charlie, the princess of Hell, as she pursues her seemingly impossible goal of rehabilitating demons to peacefully reduce overpopulation in her kingdom. After a yearly extermination imposed by angels, she opens a hotel in the hopes that patrons will be “checking out” into Heaven. While most of Hell mocks her goal,…

Raise your hand if you forgot Karl Urban is FINALLY playing Johnny Cage, because we sure did! The “Judge Dredd” star posted an update from the set of “Mortal Kombat 2,” featuring several of his co-stars hanging out. News of Urban’s inclusion in the film came back in June of this year, from project producer Todd Garner. The update from Urban today is that production is moving right along, with filming continuing. It’s interesting to note we don’t get to SEE him in the photo, which could possibly be to hide his hair/costume. Mechad Brooks (“Supergirl”) plays Jax Briggs, Damon…

Once in a generation it happens. Some enterprising soul hellbent on chaos decides to strip off all their clothing and streak at the Happiest Place on Earth. According to at least one X (formerly Twitter) user, this streaker shut down Its A Small World at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. Further down in the thread, Ashley Esqueda posted video from inside the ride, which had unfortunately stopped, meaning everyone on boats were stuck in the never-ending hellscape that is Small World. Also, Esqueda says the man in question “jumped into the water.” UPDATE There is video of the man, who has…

Before we get into too many details, we want to start by saying maybe Oscar-winning filmmaker Emerald Fennel should read some more Chuck Tingle books. BECAUSE, and we’re not making this up- she reportedly wants to “get in on the dinosaurs,” and make something akin to an “erotic” “Jurassic Park.” Now, this could be…fine? At the very least, it’d be more interesting than the latest outings of “Jurassic World.” Considering Fennel’s body of work, including “Promising Young Woman,” and the currently-out-in-theaters “Saltburn.” It’s clear she has stories to tell. But…with dinosaurs? “My favorite film of all time is ‘Jurassic Park,’ so I would…

One of the more anticipated sequels currently in the works is Tim Burton’s long-gestating “Beetlejuice 2.” The film will see the return of pretty much the entire original cast (minus those who are no longer with us). Even composer Danny Elfman and costume designer Colleen Atwood are back, too! But of course new faces are joining the fun as well, including “Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci, Justin Theroux, and the one and only Willem Dafoe. We know a few things about the characters. Ortega will play Astrid Deetz, daughter of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder). Bellucci is rumored to play the…

Once a Power Ranger, always a Power Ranger. We’re not sure if that’s a thing, but it should be. Especially in the case of one Amy Jo Johnson, who played original Pink Ranger Kimberly Hart. Johnson, actress, director, and now comic book writer, has taken it upon herself to continue the story of the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” in a very special release from BOOM! Direct. The four-issue event “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return” was co-written by Johnson with Matt Hotson, and art and character design by Nico Leon.  It tells the tale of an alternate history for the…

The world lost the best Batman in November of 2022 with the passing of actor Kevin Conroy. Having voiced the Dark Knight across numerous cartoons (“Batman: The Animated Series”) and video games, he racked up the most time as Bruce Wayne. Fans have agreed for decades that no one could top his performances. One fellow performer even went to far as to say they’d never voice their character again without him. That person? Why, none other than Mark Hamill, who voiced The Joker. This isn’t anything new, as Hamill declared it was ‘likely’ he wouldn’t do the character again following…

It’s been awhile since we had any kind of update on Taika Waititi’s live-action adaptation of “Akira.” Many outlets seemed to think the project was dead, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. During the press tour for his current theatrical release “Next Goal Wins,” Waititi offered what to some may be a surprising bit of intel. This live-action take on Katsuhiro Otomo’s original manga and (later 1988 anime) is being written by novelist Charles Yu (“Interior Chinatown”), and will apparently be taking it’s cues more from the manga than the iconic film. [The manga box set is pricey, but…

Oh, Tom Hardy. We love your unbridled fanboy enthusiasm for Eddie Brock and symbiote, Venom. You kind of single handedly kept what should have been a one-and-done film going, and created what is now a trilogy. Hardy is currently filming the third Sony Pictures Spider-Man-adjacent picture, which he co-wrote along with director Kelly Marcel. He’s also been kinda our best source of information about the project. Yesterday, Hardy posted this to his Instagram, seemingly giving “Venom 3” the title of “The Last Dance.” Possibly just something he likes to call it, or official title, you be the judge. V3N0M 3???❤️♠️The…

Ah yes, the Marvel Studios rumor du jour once again focuses on the upcoming “Fantastic Four” film. Long in the works, this highly anticipated reboot will finally see the First Family of Comics’ arrival in the MCU. Yes, we know, Reed Richards (John Krasinski) appeared in “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness,” but this will be everyone! Apparently, everyone’s favorite Gelfling princess Anya Taylor-Joy is being eyed for a very important role in the film- that of the Herald of Galactus! You know, the Silver Surfer! Before you start getting angry about a gender-bent character for the sake of…
