We understand that the holidays are going to be EXTREMELY different this year. This is something we accepted months ago, and have been trying to make the best of it by planning to shop small, and support some of our creative friends with their wares and offerings. Nerdbot has been putting together several different gift guides which you’ll see roll out in the next few days. They’ll cover different areas, like gifts for kids, gamers, and so forth. This particular list is one compiled of items that will make even the most difficult to shop for nerd a breeze, and…

We knew it was a rather likely thing, but HBO has just OFFICIALLY greenlit a live-action tv series based on the extremely popular (for good reason!) video game franchise from Naughty Dog- “The Last of Us.”What we know about the series so far is that Craig Mazin (creator of hit HBO limited series “Chernobyl”) will write and executive produce, along with the writer and creative director of “The Last of Us” video games, Neil Druckmann. Executive Vice President of HBO Programming Francesca Orsi said of the news: “Craig and Neil are visionaries in a league of their own. With them at…

This just in (and hasn’t been confirmed yet)- but it would appear that maybe, just maybe, Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux have possibly been tapped to write the script for “Deadpool 3.”You’d probably know The Molyneux Sisters best for their writing and executive producing on long-running animated Fox favorite “Bob’s Burgers.”There are still a LOT of unknowns about a possible 3 Ryan Reynolds-starring “Deadpool” film, especially after the full Walt Disney acquisition of 20th Century Fox and their subsidiaries. But, the fandom is there and vocal, so it’s only a matter of time, really. Story is obviously developing, and we’ll let…

If there’s one actor we adore in pretty much every single thing she does, it’s Katee Sackhoff. Most fans first became aware of her during the reimagined “Battlestar Galactica” series where she played Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, pilot and general badass. She’s appeared in numerous tv series and films, and voiced characters across video games, and animated series. In fact, the character Sackhoff voiced in season 4 of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” cartoon, Bo-Katan Kryze, is now a part of the live-action galaxy far, far away as of last week’s Bryce Dallas Howard-directed episode of “The Mandalorian” on Disney+. We…

We are sorry to share the news that “Black Lightning,” part of the DC Comics’ based Berlanti-verse on The CW will be coming to an end. The silver lining here is that the upcoming 4th season will still air, but as the final season. This news comes as a surprise, as earlier this week, The CW announced a “Black Lightning” spinoff series starring Jordan Calloway, about his character “Painkiller.” A planted episode, which will launch the character’s spinoff, is coming in the 4th season. “Black Lightning” executive producer and showrunner Salim Akil will be writing, directing and ep’ing “Painkiller.” You…

Director’s cuts- you know we love em (sometimes). Perhaps the second-most anticipated director’s cut (behind only what, probably the Snyder Cut? Maybe Lynch’s 4-hour Dune?) just got a trailer, and we’re beyond curious to see where Francis Ford Coppola’s new cut of “The Godfather Part III” is gonna land. “Part III” was, by all accounts, a serious let down for fans of the incredible “The Godfather” epic saga from director Coppola, who co-wrote with Mario Puzo (author of the source novel). If you” recall, the actual intended title for the film was “The Death of Michael Corleone,” which Paramount Pictures outright rejected. The first…

We are absolutely delighted to share the Netflix casting news that horror icon Robert Englund, whom most of you will know better by his cinema alter ego Freddy Kruger, is one of eight new faces coming to Hawkins for “Stranger Things” season 4!The fourth season will continue to be produced by the show’s creators The Duffer Brothers, along with Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, and Iain Paterson This is a rundown of who everyone coming to season 4 will be playing: Englund will be playing Victor Creel- a disturbed and intimidating man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a…

We are SO DELIGHTED to share the news that AppleTV+ series “For All Mankind” will be returning for its second season pretty soon after the new year. The alternative space history series asks the question what if the Russians made it to the moon first, and what if the USA never left the space race? One of our most suggested series for space buffs, the fact that “Battlestar Galactica’s” Ronald D. Moore is one of the driving forces behind said series should let you know immediately how good it is.“In the alternate history, we wanted to recapture that feeling where…

We are very pleased to report that IO Interactive, the studio behind the massively successful Hitman games, is bringing another legendary gun-wielding character to a video game near you.

It’s been a long, strange road for “Chaos Walking,” the aptly titled film adaptation of Patrick Ness’s 2008 novel ‘The Knife of Never Letting Go.’
