“The Lord of the Rings” fans have been equal measures of excited and anxious about Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming series, “The Rings of Power.” Returning to the world of JRR Tolkien, this series takes us deep into Middle-earth’s Second Age. Yes, there will be characters we know and stories we’ve heard tell of. But, a good deal of the show will be tales and individuals we’ve never seen before. This morning, Prime Video released the final trailer before the show premieres next month. Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very…

We are returning to The Moon, and no matter how you try to dress that statement up, you can’t. Excitement doesn’t BEGIN to describe it. Pride at what the human race can do when we come together for something greater than the individual reasons? Yes.

Imagine you are the daughter of Idris Elba. Imagine also that you, as her, auditioned to play Elba’s daughter in a movie. Embarrassingly enough, you don’t get the part. How in the world didn’t you get cast? Seriously, you’re literally his daughter. This actually happened! Isan Elba auditioned to play Idris’ daughter in the recently released film “Beast.” She didn’t get the part, and apparently didn’t speak to her dad for 3 weeks because of it. “She wants to be an actress and she auditioned,” Elba told The Breakfast Club. “And you know, it came down to chemistry in the…

This just in-“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” one of our favorite 80s films, is getting a spinoff! We all remember the valets who take Cameron’s (Alan Ruck) father’s car for a joyride, right?

Another dojo member Bill Posley (“Bitch Ass”) will be penning the screenplay. No word on possible cast or a director yet. This story is developing…

We are absolutely delighted to share the news that Emmy winning composer Bear McCreary’s score for Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is available now! “I’m trying to honor the legacy of what Howard Shore created, and to do so by using those epic colors, and crafting 15 new themes that can be added to the pantheon of memorable melodies that started with Shore’s films,” McCreary said. “I’m a huge fan of the J.R.R. Tolkien books, of the legendarium, the mythology and the Peter Jackson films. They were, in a way, at the nexus of…

Ok so this doesn’t REALLY count as a Rick Roll because we made it VERY CLEAR in the headline what you’ll be seeing/hearing. The one and only Rick Astley has recreated his iconic “Never Gonna Give You Up” music video for AAA Insurance, who have been using the tune in their ads for several years. It’s kind of awesome. Also, don’t forget someone took the time to update the original music video in 4K! Truly an important project.
