Remember when Disney purchased LucasFilm, and decided to make some name changes to certain things? Specifically, Princess Leia’s golden bikini from Jabba’s Palace in “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.” Originally called the ‘Slave Leia’ outfit, the House of Mouse changed it to be ‘Hutt Slayer.’ All things considered, it was a good change, reflecting the continual self-rescuing abilities of the Last Princess of Alderaan. Even the late great Carrie Fisher approved of the change. (Also, remember the Death Squad Commander figure from Kenner?)But, a NEW change has the galaxy far, far away in an uproar. Mind you this is…

We are living in a golden age of science fiction media, and Apple TV+’s upcoming “Foundation” series may just be the next great entry. Based on the works of Isaac Asimov, this project from David S. Goyer marks the first time the tale has been adapted. When revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization. Enraged by Hari’s claims, the ruling Cleons — a long line of emperor…

Apparently we’re getting a live action movie about Scholastic’s large crimson canine, “Clifford the Big Red Dog!” As children of a certain age will recall, Clifford started life as the runt of a litter, and through the love and care of his human Emily Elizabeth, became the titan we know and love today. This project was actually started by Universal back in 2012, but eventually found it’s way to Paramount Pictures. Walt Becker (“Van Wilder,” “Wild Hogs”) directs “Clifford,” which stars John Cleese, Darby Camp, Jack Whitehall, Tony Hale, Horatio Sanz, and more. “Clifford the Big Red Dog” is set…

We are sitting here scratching our heads at this news. Yes, we absolutely want more “Good Omens,” but now that we’re officially getting a second season, we’re wondering why? The original Neil Gaiman, Terry Prachett novel was pretty well covered by the incredible first season. Considering how off-book “American Gods” was able to go (without really trying, mind you) this could be really interesting. Details are scarce, but yes, both David Tennant AND Michael Sheen are returning. Season 2 will reportedly be 6 episodes, and will cover the times BEFORE the action of the book. So, more Aziraphale and Crowley…

Imagine you return home from a trip to find a family of raccoons had somehow fallen through your roof and taken up residence in your closet. Not only that, but they also caused a not small amount of damage to your place. That’s exactly what happened to one Twitter user, who posted about the experience. Someone with an affinity for the masked bandits happened to notice, and offered to pay for partial damages to Haley’s apartment. None other than “Guardians of the Galaxy” writer/director James Gunn! What a guy, huh?

Yesterday, The CW surprised everyone by ordering a spinoff series of their hugely popular series “Supernatural,” which ended it’s 15 season run in November of 2020. Following the….well, supernatural adventures of the Winchester family, the series stared Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Mischa Collins, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and an incredible cast of guest stars. By all reports, the spinoff series will be told from the point of view of Ackles’ character, Dean Winchester. Fans of course were excited by this, but one notable person was…not. Padalecki responded to the news via Twitter, and his disappointment was pretty palpable. Yeah, so….We’ll let…

Wendy’s continues to be a masterclass in how a brand can truly set their own tone on social media. While they can’t really compare to the creativity of Arby’s, the house of square hamburgers sure seems to know their audience.Just last week, the official Wendy’s Twitter account invoked the iconic Watchmen comics character Dr. Manhattan, posting this image. DC Comics caught wind, and responded. It’s….pretty amazing, honestly. Kinda mad we didn’t see it til now.

Just when we thought we were done with trailers for the day, a surprise spoopy season bonus! The first trailer for the upcoming “Halloween Kills” film just hit, and we are READY to feel the terror! In 2018, David Gordon Green’s Halloween, starring icon Jamie Lee Curtis, killed at the box office, earning more than $250 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing chapter in the four-decade franchise and setting a new record for the biggest opening weekend in history for a horror film starring a woman. And the Halloween night when Michael Myers returned isn’t over yet. Minutes after Laurie Strode…

Get ready for the next Mattel film franchise, as Lena Dunham’s live action Polly Pocket film is coming. Centering on the Lilliputian compact toy made popular in the late 80s-early 90s, Lily Collins is reportedly going to star in the flick for MGM.Dunham is penning the script, which will tell the tale of “a young girl and a pocket-sized woman who form a friendship.”In a statement announcing the project, Dunham said: “Polly Pocket was responsible for countless hours of childhood escapism for me – Polly gave me a tiny world of magic and autonomy to narrate, so it’s pretty poetic…
