If you’ve ever wanted to know more about skateboard legend Tony Hawk, HBO Max has the documentary for you. Taking a deep look at the early life and ever-present career of Hawk, this docu dives deep. On March 7th, Hawk revealed he had broken his leg. A comeback from such an injury will be difficult, if almost impossible. “‘Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off’ is a wide-ranging, definitive look at Hawk’s life and iconic career, and his relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades. Hawk, born in San Diego, California, is a pioneer of modern…
After years of waiting, “Star Wars” fans only have two and a half months more to wait before “Obi Wan Kenobi” hits Disney+. Starring Ewan McGregor as the Jedi Master, the series hails from Deborah Chow, who directs all episodes. Perhaps the most exciting part, the return of Hayden Christensen as Annakin Skywalker! And, as we know now, Joel Egerton as Uncle Ownen.These images were released by Entertainment Weekly this morning, who’s April issue will be dedicated to the series. The show’s official Twitter came to life this morning also, with a pretty appropriate first message. Fan speculation is at…
“The beginning is a delicate time.” Princess Irulan, is that you!? Apparently Oscar nominated actress Florence Pugh is in talks to join Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming “Dune Part Two.”Out of all the available roles yet to be cast, the one that makes the most sense is Princess Irulan, daughter of the Paddishaw Emperor Shaddam IV. She becomes a bit of a foil for Chani and Paul as things progress later in the source novels. In David Lynch’s seminal 1984 version of “Dune,” Irulan was played by Virginia Madsen.This casting would be interesting, as Pugh played opposite Timothée Chalamet in Greta Gerwig’s…
We really didn’t have ‘demon stone prison shattering’ on our 2022 bingo card. But it probably tracks with the year we’re having, right? Sessho-seki, the “Killing Stone,” which legend claims to be the transformed body of nine-tailed fox demon Tamamo-no-Mae, has split in two. The story of Tamamo-no-Mae and her seduction of Emperor Konoe was adapted in 1968 as anime film “Kyubi no kitsune to Tobimaru.” Those familiar with the stone and it’s location have said it has had small natural cracks forming for several years. But no one was expecting this level of erosion. The rope, which reportedly held…

I’ll admit it, at first I didn’t really understand why everyone loved “Ted Lasso.” AppleTV+’s series about an American football coach heading to England to the premiere soccer league seemed…too outlandish. And not in a science-fiction series way, or a breaking the 4th wall in every single scene way. It was TOO positive, too joyful. People like Ted (Jason Sudeikis) just don’t exist in real life.But around episode 3, something clicked. I got it. I understood, and fell in love with the show. Ok, mostly Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein). “Ted Lasso” really is a drop of sunshine in an otherwise…

Remember a time back in 2014 when Anthony Bourdain not only described Putin, but interviewed Boris Nemtsov?
This just in-it would appear that Amazon Studios is working on developing a “God of War” live-action series! Early reports indicate the project comes from “The Expanse” creators Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, as well as and “The Wheel of Time” showrunner Rafe Judkins.So far, Sony Interactive/PlayStation has declined to comment.

The next installment of the game, “God of War: Ragnarok,” is due out sometime later this year after a delay.Here’s hoping Christopher Judge would be in the running to play Kratos! This story is developing…
