This just in-sounds like Léa Seydoux is heading to Arrakis for “Dune Part Two.” She will theoretically be playing Margot Lady Fenring, wife of Count Hasimir Fenring. (Count Fenring hasn’t been cast yet) Lady Margot is a Bene Gesserit, and a very important player in the House Harkonnen / Atreides drama.Seydoux joins new cast members Florence Pugh (Princess Irulan), Christopher Walken (Emperor Shaddam IV), and Austin Butler (Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen). THR indicates Jon Voight has been added to the cast as well, but there hasn’t been a single confirmation of this yet.”Dune Part Two” will again be directed by Denis Villeneuve, from a…

We can all agree “Stranger Things” season 4 volume 1 was a return to form for the Netflix series, right? A balance of mystery, science fiction, horror, and period piece really rang true. (Ok, minus this example of why a consultant’s job is very important for a production set in a certain time period.) But season 4 started strong, and the halfway point was even more so.This morning, the streaming giant released a new trailer to tease what’s to come in season 4 volume 2. The series stars Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven),…

This just in-take a look at our first glimpse of the Orcs from the upcoming “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!” “Well, I love Orcs. I love creature design, so I’m very happy to talk about this stuff,”  Jamie Wilson, head of The Rings of Power’s prosthetic department, said. “JD and Patrick — the showrunners — the very first page of their bible was about Orcs. They have a real passion for them, they love practical prosthetics and design, and they felt that they needed exploration given that this is the Second Age and thousands of years…

We want to start off by saying this next piece is deep in rumor territory. Think Tatooine vs Coruscant in terms of trustworthy source. That said, yet another outlet is claiming “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown might be headed to a galaxy far, far away.According to UK tabloid The Mirror, Brown may be featured in an upcoming “Star Wars” project. The outlet claims the 18 year old is “on Disney’s radar for the new Star Wars projects.” They go on to claim “she’s had contact with Kathleen [Kennedy], who is aware of her desire to feature in a movie…

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is once again teasing what’s to come. The MCU has been planned in blocks, with the current saga just getting to the end of Phase 4. Everyone has a theory about what’s next following the current slate of titles. Feige, while speaking to Total Film, promised answers are coming.“As we’re nearing the end of Phase Four, I think people will start to see where this next saga is going. I think there have been many clues already, that are at least apparent to me, of where this whole saga is going. But we’ll be a…

While we still have over a year before “Indiana Jones 5” rolls into theaters, we’re thinking about it a lot. During Star Wars Celebration 2022, official key art was revealed during the Lucasfilm showcase. Star Harrison Ford himself came out to wave and joke. The true Maestro of the Movies John Williams led the orchestra in a suite of familiar tunes, including Indy’s theme. But it also left us wondering- what the heck will this film be about? Seemingly the sendoff of the iconic archeologist adventurer, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” released in theaters in 2008.…

This is absolutely one of those times internet fan-casting results in some fun possibilities. Like Bruce Campbell as Hades in Disney’s upcoming live-action “Hercules” adaptation. Considering how…problematic…the animated film’s Hades voice actor is, we can totally get behind someone else. In the 1997 animated “Hercules,” James Woods voices Hades, brother of Zeus, and lord of the underworld. As we know, this version of Hades has his own agenda, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Woods, while a decorated actor, is not exactly what we’d call child-friendly. There have been numerous instances of complaints from fellow actors…

Remember that time a year ago we said Chris Hemsworth looked just like Jack Burton in “Thor: Love and Thunder?” Yeah, we remember it, because “Big Trouble in Little China” is one of our favorite films. So of course we’re going to point out the similarity between one of our favorite Marvel Studios heroes and good ol Jack Burton. In “Big Trouble,” Burton is played by Kurt Russell, who of course has already had his MCU debut in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” Russell, storied actor, brought Marvel Comics character Ego to life, who just happens to be Star…

“The Thing,” directed by John Carpenter, turns 40 this year. That’s a huge milestone for any film, especially one that remains as iconic as this one. Fathom Events, who pride themselves in bringing great films to theaters for special engagements, included “The Thing” in their offerings this month. Many fans flocked to see the special anniversary screening, only to be disappointed. Filmmaker Mick Garris (among others) took to Twitter to explain. It wasn’t just Garris’ screening, either. How…how does an organization like Fathom show a film like “The Thing” in the wrong freaking aspect ratio?! HOW?! I’m angry on everyone’s…
