We are very pleased to tell you about an upcoming auction coming from PropStore. This isn’t just your run of the mill memorabilia showcase either- this is a charity auction where 95% of the proceeds will benefit The Grant Imahara STEAM Foundation. As you’ll recall, we lost Imahara quite suddenly in July of 2020. The “Mythbusters,” “Battlebots,” and “White Rabbit Project” star was dearly loved and respected, from industry professionals, former co-stars, and fans alike. This morning, auction house PropStore announced the upcoming auction, which will see a portion of proceeds raised from the August-September event going directly to the…
This is not the type of thing we like to cover, ever. Loss of life for any reason, especially senseless gun violence, is never acceptable. We are heartbroken to report that during a screening of “The Forever Purge” in a California theater, tragedy struck.According to local reports, a Monday night showing of the newest installment in “The Purge” franchise at the Regal Edwards Corona Crossings in Corona, CA resulted in the shooting death of an 18 year old woman, and wounding of a 19 year old man.Only six tickets were sold for the 9:35 pm screening. The incident was only…

Not one but THREE “Dune” soundtracks are coming from one of our favorite composers, Hans Zimmer! Get the details now.
This is another one of those stories we kinda hope is true, but at this point, is pretty scarce with details. According to a report, Netflix MAY be developing BioWare’s hugely popular video game franchise “Dragon Age” into a series!The early report indicates that this project would theoretically be loosely based on the first game in the series, “Dragon Age: Origins,” which was released back in 2009. No idea if this would be an animated series, anime, or live action. Considering just how many animated projects Netflix currently has, and how many live action projects they have on the horizon,…
This morning, Sony Pictures released a second trailer for their upcoming “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” film! The thing that made us go “awwww” out loud? The glorious Annie Potts returning as Janine, talking to Carrie Coon about her “father,” who we can safely assume was Egon (Harold Ramis). Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things“), Mckenna Grace (“Captain Marvel“), and Logan Kim are the young stars, and they’ll be joined by Carrie Coon (“Fargo“) and Paul Rudd (“Ant-Man“), as well as original “Ghostbusters” stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts. “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is currently slated for November 10th, 2021.
For the last few years, there have been rumblings of a possible reboot of the pinnacle of frightening films- “The Exorcist.” Turns out, those rumors were absolutely true, and “Halloween” 2019’s helmer David Gordon Green will be performing the rights for Universal Studios.According to a report, Green has a three-film plan, which will possibly see a home at NBC’s streaming service Peacock following a theatrical bow sometime in 2023. Green will be directing the first chapter. Perhaps the most interesting part of today’s news is the return of Ellen Burstyn as Chris MacNeil. In the first installment of the proposed…
This just in-according to reports, Netflix is currently in active development on a live-action series based on the hugely popular “Pokémon” franchise! According to Variety, this project is still in the very early phases. “Lucifer” co-showrunner and executive producer Joe Henderson is attached to write, and will also be executive producing whatever the show is. The outlet also says sources indicate this “Pokémon” series would be ‘akin’ to Legendary’s “Detective Pikachu” film from 2019. This story is developing….
Earlier this year, we had our hopes set way too high when a tweet from the gorgeous Lea Thompson indicated her interest in directing a “Howard the Duck” reboot. Prompted by the first full-length trailer for Disney+’s upcoming animated Marvel Studios series “What If….?” having a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Howard cameo, Thompson immediately offered her thoughts via Twitter. The much maligned 1986 film is often considered one of notorious flops of the day, but definitely has a cult classic standing now. James Gunn even included Howard in his “Guardians of the Galaxy” film, and the character started trending again. But back to…
