As today marks the Halfway to Halloween celebration, we are delighted to share some news about what Disney has in store for guests this year. As you’ll recall, Disneyland in California just recently reopened their gates after over 400 days of being closed due to the pandemic, while Florida’s Walt Disney World has been reopen for sometime. Questions had arisen from many in the hardcore Disney community about whether or not a possible Halloween event was likely to happen in 2021. This morning, the official Parks Blog confirmed that yes, there WILL be an All Hallows celebration at at Walt…

We are delighted to share the news that “The Muppets” are doing something extra spooky for Halloween 2021. Well, maybe not EXTRA spooky, but definitely something in theme! Today being Halfway to Halloween, the House of Mouse announced all manner of plans, including a new special coming to Disney+!Gonzo the Great and Pepe the King Prawn made the announcement this morning. Perhaps the most exciting part of this? The involvement of the great Kirk Thatcher! Obviously, the special will hit the streaming service Disney+ sometime in October 2021.

In case you needed a little movie magic to get you through this month, Paramount Pictures has got you covered. After many delays, “A Quiet Place Part II” is finally coming to theaters. Just this morning, the studio released two videos for the John Krasinski-written-and-directed sequel. One, is a featurette titled “The Wait Is Over,” and has some interview slices with both Krasinski and his lead actor/wife Emily Blunt. The second is a full “final” trailer for “A Quiet Place Part II.” As you can see, the film will be hitting select theaters on May 28th, 2021. Make sure you…

We knew we were getting something “Stranger Things” released today. Yesterday, streaming giant Netflix teased a reveal for the upcoming 4th season of the show. And this morning, a very short 1-minute clip was released. It centers around the study of children, most of whom have the same gown and haircut we first saw 11 with. The clip shows flashes of familiar silhouettes, and a door with a particular number on it. Also, Millie Bobby Brown’s eyes? One of our favorite artists, Pascal Blanché, made this brilliant comparison, and we can’t unsee it. The video (at least on Youtube) is…

This may be our new favorite thing featuring George Clooney. True, pretty much anytime the suave actor appears in something it’s worth a watch, but THIS is something wholly different. Shocking no one, Clooney has a wicked sense of humor. He puts it to excellent use in this ridiculous video. Partnering with Omaze, Clooney is offering a trip to Italy. Proceeds raised will go to the Clooney Foundation for Justice. “When you daydream about life after COVID-19, do you imagine: Getting together with friends. Sharing a meal, maybe a few drinks. Talking about what you’re grateful for. Endless laughter. This…

HBO just released three more images for their upcoming “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon.” Focusing on the infamous family of Targaryens, the series takes place roughly 300 years before the action of author George R. R. Martin‘s first novel from the “Song of Ice and Fire” saga, aka “Game of Thrones.” The new photos show five characters, in various strong poses. Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon aka “The Sea Snake.” The lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen, “The Sea Snake,” is the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros. He…

Before you get your hopes up for anything awesome for “Stranger Things” season 4, this video doesn’t really HAVE anything in it. It was teased today by the official writer’s room account for the hit Netflix series, and we’re not sure what to make of it. Looking at the text in the video, one can assume that perhaps a trailer for season 4 is coming tomorrow.”Due to technical difficulties, Hawkins National Laboratory will be closed until further notice. We will be back in service tomorrow at 9:00AM ET.”

We are pretty damn delighted to report that “Killjoys” and “Ant-Man and The Wasp” star Hannah John-Kamen will be bringing another comic character to life. It was just announced that the highly-proficient-with-stunts actor will be playing Red Sonja in the upcoming live-action film. Yes, this is the same film that was originally going to have director Bryan Singer, but thankfully Millennium Films got the note, and decided that wasn’t the best idea. Joey Soloway (“Transparent”) is directing from a script he wrote with Tasha Huo (Netflix’s upcoming “Tomb Raider”). “Hannah is a very talented actress who we’ve been following for years…

It’s gonna take a lot more than a new Marvel Studios series releasing on Disney+ for us to accept Wednesdays as the new Fridays. We say this because the official streaming platform from the House of Mouse is really trying to make it happen. Specifically, because all episodes of the upcoming MCU series “Loki,” starring Tom Hiddleston, will be releasing mid-week. Hiddleston interrupts a typical super hero montage to deliver the news, in his charmingly desheveled way. If you missed the trailer, check it out here. “Loki” will premiere on Disney+ on Wednesday, June 9th, 2021.

Not just any two Hobbits either- Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd! The pair of multi-talented actors wandered into the Scum and Villainy Cantina in Hollywood during the wretched hive’s official “Star Wars” night festivities. As you can imagine, there was some singing involved, and also some pints!You can watch a snippet of their visit on Scum and Villainy’s Facebook page here: Boyd and Monaghan are true life pals, and it’s always wonderful to see them together. I’ve personally had the pleasure of interviewing both of them several times. Joyous, thoughtful, and extremely intelligent, these aren’t your everyday average Hobbits out…
