Warner Bros. Pictures is actively moving ahead with their new Willy Wonka origin tale, and we’re not sure how we feel about it. Obviously, Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” published in 1979 still captures the imagination. Announced this morning, Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet will be donning the purple top hat. Also, several reports are indicating he’ll be singing AND dancing in the role. Paul King will direct from the screenplay he wrote with Simon Farnaby. An earlier draft of the project is credited to Simon Rich, Simon Stephenson, Jeff Nathanson, and Steven Levenson. Michael Siegel is executive producing,…

We hate seeing a good series come to an end. Netflix’s “Money Heist” is set to complete the heist of a lifetime with a 2-part 5th season. The Spanish series took the international world by storm with Dali masks and red jumpsuits. The cast of unlikely criminals attempting to shake up the status quo (as well as making some $$) struck a chord with audiences, and has remained a huge hit for the streaming service. The first teaser for the final season (part 1) released this morning, and it looks like all hell breaks loose. “The gang has been shut…

What would you say if we told you Pop-Tarts is planning to introduce a little mystery to your breakfast routine? Maybe this news only interests certain people, but the very idea of a mysterious new flavor from the toaster pastry giant is intriguing. As revealed this past week, the Kellogg empire announced that a masked mystery man “broke into” the Pop-Tarts factory, and apparently created a new flavor. This chaotic neutral party apparently knew what he was about, and Pop-Tarts had to hire ‘flavor investigator’ (named Mister E) to solve the case. Mister E is seen on the official artwork…

Every day we think this current timeline couldn’t get stranger, something like this happens. Not that we’re opposed- FAR far from it.

Apparently BLK and Chispa will auto-boost profiles of vaccinated users, meaning your chances of matching are better?…

This is one of those wishful thinking reports currently making the rounds online. “Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill is reportedly one of the favored actors to take on a “Highlander” reboot. We’ve talked about this passion project of Chad Stahelski’s a few times now, and we absolutely want it to happen.Lionsgate has not confirmed this casting, or the actual active development of the project. Yet.That isn’t to say we think “Highlander” needs a reboot outright, but….it kind of does. Nerdbot’s Retro Crew Review recently did an episode all about the classic 1986 high fantasy sci-fi film, and we all…

We love to keep an eye on auctions of Hollywood memorabilia. Sometimes, it’s curiosity- to see what the high ticket item might be for the discerning collector. Other times….it’s because we want the item ourselves. Like in this case with Prop Store’s upcoming auction. Included in the highlights for June’s Entertainment Memorabilia auction are things like Harrison Ford’s “Temple of Doom” Indiana Jones fedora, Sir Patrick Stewart’s iconic Captain Jean Luc Picard flute from “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and a little something from “Star Wars.” Lot #301 is Carrie Fisher’s green leather bound “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back”…
