It’s always sad to see a show you love end. Even more so when you’ve been one of the main stars of said series for over 10 years. Sam Heughan, who has played Jamie Fraser in STARZ series “Outlander,” has done his last day of recording. “Well. That’s it. The last ADR on ‘Outlander’ completed,” Heughan says. “On the Universal lot. The studio, behind me. Very emotional, but I’m very excited for the fans to see the final episode. It’s gonna be quite….quite an emotional one. But I know you’re going to love it.”He then takes a beat, and you…

Visionary filmmaker George Miller isn’t saying never to a 6th “Mad Max” film. He already has what he calls “another script” for the tale. Miller has, for years, teased another post-apocalyptic prequel story, which would come after “Furiosa.” This one would be from Max Rockatansky’s point of view, and directly lead into the 2015 epic “Mad Max: Fury Road.” It would be called, appropriately, “The Wasteland.” “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” cleaned up at Vulture’s Stunt Awards this past weekend, taking home the top prize for best achievement in stunts overall for Hayley Wright, who doubled for star Anya Taylor-Joy. Wright…

As we tried to tell everyone when the “news” from a dubious source was first reported earlier this week, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy is NOT, we repeat, NOT retiring yet. She’s now cleared the air a bit about this, and other upcoming bits of news from the galaxy far, far away. “Any discussion previously about me retiring or quitting or any of those things, that’s complete rumor mill because through all these reports, I have just continued doing my job, and continuing my contract,” Kennedy said. “Nothing unusual. It all has just been manufactured.” “The truth is, and I want…

We are BEYOND excited to share the casting news for a brand new “Star Trek” project.

Khan Noonien Singh. “For All Mankind” star Wrenn Schmidt will voice Lt. Marla…

DC Studios co-head James Gunn may be one of the busiest guys in the business. Not only is he overseeing the studio arm of DC Comics for Warner Bros. Discovery, but he’s also exec producing most of the releases, and/or writing and directing them. His take on “Superman” hits theaters later this year, and beyond that, more seasons of “Peacemaker” and assumedly, “Creature Commandos.”But one of the projects very much as a FINALLY feel to it- a live action series about one of the founding members of the JLA, Green Lantern. The project “Lanterns” was confirmed in June of 2024,…

We are very sorry to share the news that “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Gossip Girl” star Michelle Trachtenberg has reportedly passed away. This is according to ABC News, who say New York City police confirmed the sad news to them.“It is with great sadness to confirm that Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away,” her rep confirmed. “The family requests privacy for their loss. There are no further details at this time.”TMZ reports they were informed Trachtenberg underwent a liver transplant in 2024, and that her passing may have been due to complications due to her body rejecting that transplant. Trachtenberg…

With “Daredevil: Born Again” set to hit next week, questions about other members of the Netflix-originated Defenders-verse getting a second shot have risen. The rights for those Marvel Television series- “Marvel’s Daredevil,” “Marvel’s Jessica Jones,” “Marvel’s Luke Cage,” “Marvel’s Iron Fist,” “Marvel’s Defenders,” and “Marvel’s Punisher” is as long and complicated as those character’s histories. All of the shows are now under one roof, and streaming home platform, Disney+. But the big news today is that Jon Bernthal (“The Walking Dead,” “The Bear”), who played Frank Castle aka Punisher in those shows, will be returning in a one-of special that…

This just in-highly venerated actor John Lithgow has confirmed a big piece of casting news. He will indeed be playing Hogwarts Headmaster Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore in HBO’s upcoming live-action “Harry Potter” series. “Well, it came as a total surprise to me. I just got the phone call up at the Sundance Film Festival for yet another film, and it was not an easy decision because it’s going to define me for the last chapter of my life, I’m afraid,” Lithgow told Screen Rant. “But I’m very excited. Some wonderful people are turning their attention back to ‘Harry…
