This just in- it would appear that Peter S. Beagle’s iconic story “The Last Unicorn” is getting some new adaptations! According to Beagle’s official website, Fergie of Black Eyed Peas is currently working creating a stage musical based on the tale. And, if you can believe it, a live-action film as well! Thats…sort of all we know. This could be a really interesting property to develop into a stage show. We’re not sure how we feel about a live-action adaptation, as the original animation is part of the beauty and magic. Mia Farrow, Jeff Bridges, Angela Landsbury, Alan Arkin, Tammy…

A project based on American McGee’s Alice titles has been rumored for years. Nay, decades at this point. It never quite makes it out of the pitch meeting. We’re kind of hoping that’s the case with this latest attempt. Not because we don’t love the EA Games’ titles, but because we don’t care for the writer attached. David Hayter, known for his script work on Bryan Singer’s first two “X-Men” films, is apparently working on developing this project. Sure, he also has “Watchmen” on his resume, but he also has “The Scorpion King” and Netflix’s “Warrior Nun.” So. Set your…

Okay, we love this idea. We don’t love Akiva Goldsmith, but this idea is absolutely solid and worth supporting. Imagine a “Star Trek” anthology series, with one-off episode, focusing on characters across the franchise. You could have a spotlight on someone like…oh, say George Takei as Hikaru Kato Sulu?!Or how about Balok (Clint Howard) from TOS? While speaking to SFX Magazine, Goldsmith pitched the idea as “Tales of the Federation.” He compared it to what Robert Kirkman and co were doing with the various “The Walking Dead” spinoff series with AMC. “There’s something that I like, which I think Robert…

As one would expect with a revisit of the classic Tobe Hooper film “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” things are gonna get bloody. Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead) and Kim Henkel (original “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”), have created a new yet familiar take on the tale for Netflix with “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” After nearly 50 years of hiding, Leatherface returns to terrorize a group of idealistic young friends who accidentally disrupt his carefully shielded world in a remote Texas town.Melody (Sarah Yarkin), her teenage sister Lila (Elsie Fisher), and their friends Dante (Jacob Latimore) and Ruth (Nell Hudson), head to the remote…

Steven Spielberg has been trying to get a series based on 343 Industries’ HALO made since 2013. SHOWTIME picked up the option for a live-action show in 2018, and it’s sort of been kicking around ever since. Today, a full-length trailer for “HALO” was released during the AFC Championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs. Spoiler, THE TRAILER DROPPED EARLIY! Casting was announced in 2019, including Yerin Ha, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, and Kate Kennedy. Original Cortana actress Jen Taylor replaced Natascha McElhone. And of course, Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief.In 2020, it was revealed that “Halo” had moved from…

This just in- it would appear that long gestating live-action “Masters of the Universe” project has found a new home and lead actor. It was just announced that Kyle Allen (“American Horror Story,” “West Side Story”) will star in the project for Netflix. The Nee Brothers are still on board to direct, from a screenplay they wrote with David Callaham (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”). We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other projects.

We are beyond disappointed to share the news that another Marvel Studios star is apparently anti-vaccine mandates. Perhaps you’ll recall reports that Leticia Wright, star of “Black Panther,” shared numerous links and posts attributed to anti-vax sentiments. She urged people to “ask questions” before getting any Covid-19 vaccines, despite overwhelming evidence that Various outlets suggested Wright’s stance led to production on “Black Panther 2” being shut down/delayed. Wright has since refuted the reports that any of her on-set conduct had resulted in delays. Earlier this morning, “Ant-Man and The Wasp” star Evangeline Lilly confirmed her participation at an anti-vaccine mandate…

This is the kind of news we love seeing on a Thursday, gotta say. Ron Perlman is still eager to make a third “Hellboy” film with director Guillermo del Toro. “Am I eager to do Hellboy 3? No, I’m 71 fucking years old,” Perlman told The Independent. “[But] we owe this to the fans, and we should give it to them because it would be an epic conclusion. So Guillermo, if you’re reading, I’m not done pounding you to get this fucking thing done.” There has been back and forth on this subject for years. Perlman played Big Red for…

When Sir Patrick Stewart says something, you believe him. The enigmatic English actor stated Paramount+’s “Star Trek: Picard” title character, Captain Jean Luc Picard, will be retired after the end of season 3. Akiva Goldsmith, writer/producer, confirmed the show was never “planned to run indefinitely.” There will not be a season 4. The pair sat down for a chat with SFX Magazine, and while we don’t have the exact quote, /Film makes it pretty clear what the gist of the matter is. Earlier this month, Paramount+ announced “Picard” season 2’s release date, as well as the news of season 3…
