Shocking no one, Paramount Pictures is apparently fast-tracking a fourth “Sonic The Hedgehog” live-action film. This comes after the third installment in the franchise outgrossed Disney’s live-action “The Lion King” prequel, “Mufasa,” to the tune of $60 million to $50 million. What’s surprising is that “Sonic The Hedgehog 3” has garnered better reviews that both it’s predecessors combined. All three films have been directed by Jeff Fowler, with Ben Schwartz voicing Sonic, and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik.

This just in-HBO has ordered a second season of “Dune: Prophecy!” This is great news, not just because I personally love the Frank Herbert-created universe, but because “Prophecy” is the prime example of how to adapt high-level genre material. “We’re so thrilled and grateful for their support, for our partners at Legendary, and most of all that we get to keep working with these incredible people in front of and behind the camera and get to keep telling this story,” showrunner Allison Schapker said about the renewal. “Prophecy” stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams,Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina,…

We’ll take “movie pitches that excite us for $4,000,” because we’re SUPER into the description for an upcoming DC Studios film. While perhaps not one of the top-tier Rogue’s Gallery members of Batman’s villains, Clayface is a notable character. Clayface was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, and first appeared in Detective Comics #40 (June 1940). Basil Karlo was a B-list actor who began a life of crime using the identity of a villain that he had portrayed in a horror film, and took a lot of inspiration from Lon Chenny’s Phantom of the Opera. While the character has appeared sporadically in Batman media (games, animated series,…

There are a lot of hopes and dreams riding on James Gunn’s next film. After making the more permeant jump from Marvel Studios to co-head of the newly launched DC Studios, Gunn will be tackling perhaps the most iconic comic character of them all- “Superman.” Apparently, this won’t be another origin story. “We just start in the middle of the action,” Gunn told Gizmodo. “Superman already exists. Lois and Clark already know each other. Lex hates Superman’s guts from the beginning, although they don’t know each other personally. So we start right in the middle of the action.” The film…

Leave it to Disney to make fun of their own releases. This seems to be the theme for all the teasers and posters we’re getting for the upcoming live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch.” This morning, it was a good-natured joke at the expense of “Mufasa: The Lion King.” Dean Fleischer Camp (“Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”) directs. Newcomer Maia Kealoha will bring Lilo to life in the film. Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Chris Sanders, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis also star. “Lilo & Stitch” is set to hit theaters May 23rd, 2025.

It is that time of year when the National Film Registry names it’s list of cinematic entries worthy of being enshrined for all generations to come. What’s kind of fun about this list is that it annually showcases not only achiements in the art of filmmaking, but cultural touchstones as well. For 2024, 25 films were named, and they most CERTAINLY run the gamut of movies. Things like “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke,” “Spy Kids,” and “The Social Network” are just some of titles this year. Here’s the list:…

We enjoy the darker side of futuristic television and film, and Apple TV+’s “Silo” is on that list. Based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling book trilogy and starring Rebecca Ferguson (“Dune,” “Mission: Impossible”), it is the story of the last ten thousand people on Earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. But no one knows when or why the silo was built, and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper…
