This just in-it sounds like our friend David Dastmalchian (“Dune Part One,” “Murderbot,” “Late Night with the Devil”) will play a legendary villain in the upcoming “Street Fighter” live-action film, M. Bison! The adaptation of the legendary Capcom fighting game series was originally supposed to hit theaters in early 2026 until Sony scrubbed it from its release slate. It made sense considering the film was changing directors and hadn’t even announced anyone in the cast. M. Bison is the head of the Shadaloo criminal organization. Callina Liang will play Chun-Li, Jason Momoa will play Blanka, Roman Reigns will play Akuma, Noah Centineo will play…

Filmmaker Edgar Wright is embarking on a new project. One we’re pretty excited for, not gonna lie. A remake of the 1987 sci-fi dystopian classic, “The Running Man,” which in turn was based on the Stephen King aka Richard Bachman 1982 novel. Glen Powell (“Hit Man,” “Top Gun: Maverick“) stars as Ben Richards, the role originally played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The story is all about a government-backed game show where Richards and other contestants had to fight to win, survive, and live. ​In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while…

This just in-after what feels like an eternity in development hell, the live-action “Akira” movie is once again not happening.Warner Bros. Pictures has reportedly “given up” rights to the property. The rights have reverted back to Kodansha, publishers of the original manga the landmark anime was based on.

When Disney announced a third film in the “Tron” franchise, we sat fully forward in our chairs. Think the Vince McMahon getting excited meme. With each new reveal for “Tron: Ares” – the creative team, casting (minus Jared Leto)- the impending thrill progressed. Everything peaked when Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of industrial pioneers Nine Inch Nails were confirmed to be handling the score. “It’s different [from the previous Tron scores], and in places, perhaps takes a bigger swing for what music can do in cinema,” Ross told Empire Magazine in their upcoming “Tron: Ares” issue. “Without sounding fucking pompous. I mean,…
