Just yesterday, the powers that be at Mattel held a virtual analyst meeting, and shared some pretty great teases of a new yet familiar line coming from the toy giant. “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” is getting a brand-new animated series at Netflix, and that means new designs for the classic characters are coming, too!These new designs are apparently NOT related to Kevin Smith’s upcoming “Masters of the Universe: Revelations,” which is also coming to Netflix (you can read more about that here), but an entirely other CGI animated series for the streaming giant, more centered towards kids.Check…

We’re gonna say it again, but the very idea to have a M.O.D.O.K. cartoon series is freaking awesome, and we’re really excited that Patton Oswalt is voicing him. Sure, it’s not quite as awesome as say, a “Howard The Duck” series from Kevin Smith, but we have pretty high hopes for the Hulu animated series. “Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.” just released a new teaser, as well as an official premiere date!It’ll be 10 episodes, and also stars Melissa Fumero, Aimee Garcia, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ben Schwartz, Beck Bennett, Jon Daly, and Sam Richardson. Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt co-created, co-wrote and executive produce the…

We are very sad to report that two of Lady Gaga’s French bulldogs have been stolen by assailants who shot the dog walker last night in Hollywood. The reports varied initially, but thanks to LAPD, we have a better idea of what happened.The dog walker, who has yet to be identified, was out walking three of Gaga’s French Bulldogs- Koji, Gustav, and Ms. Asia- in Hollywood around 10pm on Wednesday night. The dog walker was approached by a man with a gun (possibly two, no one seems to know) and shot. Koji and Gustav were both taken, but Ms. Asia…

As much as we make fun of Zack Snyder’s dark and brooding style sometimes, we are actually looking forward to his upcoming zombie flick for Netflix, “Army of the Dead.” Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted. The film stars Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Raúl Castillo, Michael Cassidy, and Garret Dillahunt. Zack Snyder penned the story, as well as writing the script with Shay Hatten and Joby Harold. Snyder…
