Perhaps one of our most anticipated series of 2021- hell, the last DECADE- is Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming “The Wheel of Time” adaptation. Based on the massive book series created by Robert Jordan, the 14-tome saga was completed by Brandon Sanderson following Jordan’s death. Today, the official “Wheel of Time” San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) 2021 panel kicked off with showrunner Rafe Judkins! Last month, we were one of the first outlets to break the news that season 1 of the show will have a premiere sometime in 2021, and that cameras were already rolling on season 2! There was also the…

Perhaps one of the series we are the most looking forward to this summer, STARZ wrestling drama “Heels,” just kicked off their first SDCC panel! Starring Stephen Amell (“Arrow”) and Alexander Ludwig (“Vikings”), the pair play brothers Jack and Ace Spade, rivals in the ring but family none-the-less. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live…

We are BEYOND excited to share this next bit of “Dune” news with you! Late last night, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Water Tower Music released some of Hans Zimmer’s incredible score for the upcoming Denis Villaneueve film. We’re not talking like, 2 minutes, either. With two tracks combined- “Paul’s Dream” and “Ripples in the Sand”- as a loop, you can treat yourself to an hour of music from Arrakis! If you missed it, a new theatrical trailer was released on July 22nd, and we went in depth with a gallery of images. There was also news on the Bene Gesserit tv…

Shai Hulud! We have more news from the world of Frank Herbert! Hot on the heels of that AMAZING new theatrical trailer for Denis Villenueve’s “Dune,” HBO Max has confirmed the appointment of a new showrunner for the Bene Gesserit-centric series, “Dune: The Sisterhood.” Diane Ademu-John has been announced as taking over as showrunner for “The Sisterhood.” Personally, this excites me, as she has two very interesting series to her credit that I absolutely loved when they were on the air- “Medium” and “Crossing Jordan.” And, having more “Dune,” especially about the Bene Gesserit, is freaking AWESOME. Back when the…

I’m gonna dive right in to the new “Dune” trailer that hit this morning, because WHY THE HELL NOT. After delays, release confusion, and what seems like a never ending level of frustration, we’re getting ever closer to the actual bowing of the ultimate coming of age story. Frank Herbert’s seminal work “Dune” was first published in 1965, and has endured as a major touchstone of the science fiction genre. Rich in lore and world creating, the saga of politics, humanity, and adventure seems to reach every single generation. There was of course David Lynch’s seminal film version of the…

If you know one thing about us here at Nerdbot, its that Denis Villuneve‘s “Dune” is perhaps our most anticipated movie of the last decade. The Frank Herbert creation is pretty much our “Star Wars.” So, you can probably understand why we get so excited anytime something new arrives for it. Following a very special evening where fans were treated to an IMAX treat of “Dune” goodness, a new trailer for the epic film was released. Perhaps the greatest thing about this new trailer is all the Hans Zimmer score goodness we’re teased with. The soaring other-wordly soundscapes of this truly alien desert…

This just in-it would appear that “In The Heights” breakout star Leslie Grace has nabbed the coveted role of Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, in an upcoming solo film project from Warner Bros. Pictures. As we reported earlier this week, there was a very short list of three names WB was screen testing for the part. This “Batgirl” film project will be an exclusive for HBO Max. Last we reported, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will be directing from a script by Christina Hodson. Obviously, we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.This story is developing…

This morning, Netflix released the first teaser for their upcoming “The Witcher” prequel anime, “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf!” Last week, Netflix tweeted then deleted a bit of the news confirmed this morning- that “Sons of Anarchy” star Theo James would be voicing Vesemir. Tetra will be played by Lara Pulver, Deglan by Graham McTavish (“Outlander,” “Aquaman”), Lady Zerbst by Oscar winner Mary McDonnell (“Battlestar Galactica”), and Vesemir by James. “The world of The Witcher expands in this anime origin story: Before Geralt, there was his mentor Vesemir — a swashbuckling young witcher who escaped a life of poverty…

If you know one thing about us here at Nerdbot, its that Denis Villuneve’s “Dune” is perhaps our most anticipated movie of the last decade. The Frank Herbert creation is pretty much our “Star Wars.” So, you can probably understand why we get so excited anytime something new arrives for it. Yesterday, it was official character posters for the main cast, which you can see here. Today, it’s 6 additional (yeah, we’re including the better Yueh one) posters, including Piter, who looks suspiciously like Howie Mandel. Today is actually a special day for “Dune,” as an IMAX presentation is happening…
