We are so very pleased to share some of the first official images from Amazon Prime’s upcoming series “The Wheel of Time.” Based on the book series by Robert Jordan (and later finished by Brandon Sanderson following Jordan’s passing), this ain’t your ordinary fantasy epic. Comparing it to something like “Game of Thrones” isn’t really fair, not to mention accurate. There is magic here, there are past lives remembered, prophecies to fulfill, hidden parentage, and some really bad ass strong women. Originally ordered to series back in 2018, the show was greenlit for a second season (and has already started…

Is there anything more soothing than watching the great Bob Ross paint some plein air scenes? We’d like to think there isn’t. Perhaps what it is, aside from Bob’s super soothing voice and positive vibe, is the wholesome view we all have of the late presenter. What most fans DON’T know is the very true backstory of the man behind “The Joy Of Painting.” Which is about to change, thanks to director Joshua Rofé, and his upcoming Netflix documentary film, “Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed.”This morning, Netflix revealed the first trailer, some images, and a synopsis for the…

Yes, while sometimes the idea of recasting everyone in Netflix’s “The Crown” is frustrating, we do understand the desire to age up the main characters. So, today we have the first look at the big upcoming recasting for seasons 5 and 6.Dominic West will be taking over as Prince Charles from the INCREDIBLE Josh O’Connor, and Elizabeth Debicki will be following Emma Corrin’s absolutely earthshaking performance as Princess Diana. Other big casting changes for seasons 5-6 include Imelda Staunton (“Harry Potter”) as Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, and Jonny…

When AMC announced they had picked up the options for pretty much all of author Anne Rice’s iconic tomes, we were absolutely ecstatic. Rice, who’s impactful “Interview With The Vampire” sort of started a creature of the night modern renaissance, created rich worlds with dark and beautiful (albeit whiney) characters. The deal wasn’t JUST for “Interview With A Vampire” and corresponding titles (like “Vampire Lestat,” “Queen of the Damned,” “Armand,” and more), but also included “The Mayfair Witches” series, which [SPOILER] does eventually tie into the Vampire Chronicles. Today’s news, shared during AMC’s TCA presentation, included confirmation that a writer’s…

Pretty much since Eric Roth (“Forest Gump”) revealed his original script for “Dune” was an absolutely massive 200+ pages, we had inklings that the film might be split. That theory was confirmed by none other than director Denis Villeneuve himself sometime later. And, as anyone who got to see the IMAX presentation for the film last month will tell you, the title of the film is “Dune Part One.”While theories run wild as to where the split happens in the story, it does make sense. After all, in the novel, there is a sizable time jump for Paul Atreides and…

Remember back when Jamie Foxx was announced as playing Spawn in a reboot feature film of the dark comic character? Yeah, that was….back in 2018? What’s kind of cool about Foxx for the role of Al Simmons is he’s actively been campaigning for it since 2013.That said…since 2018, there hasn’t been a lot of news on the project. Sure, Spawn creator and Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane has been on a hellish crusade to get it made, but it seems like “Spawn” can’t quite rise. McFarlane reportedly penned the first draft of a reboot script back in 2017, which was…

Extremely popular manga and anime series “My Hero Academia” is the next title getting a live action adaptation. The big news from this past week is that Shinsuke Sato has been tapped to direct the project for Legendary Pictures. Sato’s credits include 2016’s live action “Death Note” projects (NO NOT NETFLIX’S), “Inuyashiki,” “Bleach,” “Alice in Boderland,” and the award-winning “I Am a Hero.”At present, “Academia” doesn’t have a writer attached. Kohei Horikoshi created the manga, which routinely tops best-selling lists since it was first published in 2014. You can watch the anime on Crunchyroll now.

This is one of those stories we are absolutely DELIGHTED to report on, because we REALLY want it to happen. Alex Proyas, “The Crow” director, has confirmed he’s currently developing a tv project based on another one of his darkly beautiful films- “Dark City.” While chatting with Bloody Disgusting during a recent press junket, Royas confirmed the project, and had this to say: “Dark City right now is really an intriguing one to me because we’re developing a series, a Dark City series…which we’re in the very early stages [of] but I’m having to reanalyze in order to construct a new story. I’m…
