Zack Snyder’s upcoming Netflix flick “Rebel Moon” just added some pretty amazing talent. The cast is already pretty stacked- think “Army of the Dead,” but better. That said, we’ve got Sir Anthony Hopkins to look forward to now! As we can report from Netflix’s official casting announcement, Hopkins will be voicing Jimmy, a sentient robot. Apparently, Jimmy was the former defender of a King, and that sounds pretty perfect for Hopkins. We already knew Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Corey Stoll, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cary Elwes, Alfonso Herrera, and Jena Malone were on cast.…

What would a Tim Burton project be without the aural madness of Danny Elfman?? Thankfully, we don’t have to ask that question for Burton’s first foray into television. Elfman confirmed he is indeed composing for Netflix’s “Wednesday” series! “Wonderfully wicked,” Danny Elfman says. We’re even MORE excited now! We got our first look at star Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams earlier this week, thanks to Netflix’s Geeked Week. While we don’t have a set release date yet, we know the series is coming sometime this year. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

Happy Ghostbusters Day! The news has already kicked off today with a pretty big reveal. Netflix is apparently working on an animated series based on “Ghostbusters!” Chances are this will be revealed more fully during Geeked Week Day 3, which focuses on animation. Reportedly,  “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” co-writer and director Jason Reitman will be developing this animated series along with Gil Kenan (Ghost Corps). It’ll come from Sony Pictures Animation. Reitman and Kenan will executive produce. A 5th live-action film is currently in the works, with Reitman returning to direct. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

After the last year we’ve had, it’s strange to suddenly be looking forward to theatrically released movies again. This morning, Marvel Studios revealed that tickets for the upcoming 4th Thor movie go on sale Monday! Written and directed by Taika Waititi, “Thor: Love and Thunder” again stars Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Jamie Alexander, and Natalie Portman as Thor, Valkyrie, Sif, and Jane Foster, respectively.

Musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie has been hard at work on a film adaptation of one of his favorite classic tv series, “The Munsters.” Our biggest and best updates have come from Zombie himself via Instagram, until this morning’s reveal. This morning, Entertainment Weekly got to exclusively reveal not only a full-color photo from the film, but the official teaser trailer! Check out Grandpapa (Daniel Roebuck), Lily Munster (Sheri Moon Zombie), and Herman Munster (Jeff Daniel Phillips)! And here’s the teaser, which is a pretty faithful recreation of the show’s original opening! Also, the very end says we’ll be seeing…

After much anticipation, a full official trailer for Warner Bros. Pictures “Black Adam” has been unleashed. Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the DC Comics character, this has been a passion project for the actor. Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods – and imprisoned just as quickly- Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world. Johnson stars in the title role. Jaume Collet-Serra directs from a script by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani. The film also stars Aldis…

This just in-filmmaker Todd Phillips has more or less confirmed “Joker 2” is happening. Phillips shared images on Instagram of a script. We can clearly see the (assumed) working title, as well a shot of star Joaquin Phoenix reading pages. While Phillips doesn’t caption the post, or give any real details, this probably pretty solid confirmation of the long-rumored “Joker” sequel. The front page of the script has a date, May 18th, 2022, which is most likely the draft’s completion. Also notable in that Scott Silver and Phillips apparently re-teamed to co-write this film.

It’s a burning question I’m sure we’ve all wanted to ask. What does Tim Burton think of the late Joel Schumacher’s choice to put nipples on the Batsuit? Burton brought the capped crusader to cinema in a big way with “Batman” 1989 and “Batman Returns” in 1992 with star Michael Keaton. Schumacher…continued a film franchise with new actors. And, more importantly for our purposes here- a new Batsuit. With nipples. In 2018, Schumacher actually apologized for his bat-choices in “Batman & Robin.” “Look, I apologize,” Schumacher said. “I want to apologize to every fan that was disappointed because I think…

This just in- it sounds like cameras are FINALLY gonna start rolling on Marvel Studios’ “Blade.” Starring two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as the Daywalker, Bassam Tariq will direct from a script by Stacy Osei-Kuffour.According to FTIA (Film and Television Industry Alliance), filming kicks off in New Orleans July 4th. What a perfect city to host a vampire flick. We still really love the Wesley Snipes “Blade” films around here, which you can catch on Netflix. But, we’re also really looking forward to seeing what Ali does with the character. “Blade” currently has a release date of November 13th, 2023.…

To be fair, we already had a trailer for Netflix’s upcoming animated film, “The Sea Beast.” But Day 2 of Geeked Week brought an intro from star Karl Urban, and a new teaser. Urban stars as Jacob, alongside Zaris-Angel Hator as Maisie. Dan Stevens, Jared Harris, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jim Carter, and Kathy Burke also star. Netflix describes “The Sea Beast”:”In an era when terrifying beasts roamed the seas, monster hunters were celebrated heroes – and none were more beloved than the great Jacob Holland. But when young Maisie Brumble stows away on his fabled ship, he’s saddled with an unexpected…
