We are very sad to report the news that Netflix has opted not to go forward with any additional seasons of “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.” This isn’t necessarily a cancellation, as the incredible series had not been officially ordered for additional seasons. Lisa Henson, CEO & President The Jim Henson Company (and also Executive Producer on “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance”) said: “We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of ‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.’ We know fans are eager to learn how this chapter of ‘The Dark Crystal’ saga concludes and…

It’s kind of like “Highlander,” with two giants of science fiction- Mark Hamill and Sir Patrick Steward. We’ve always wanted to see the two duke it out with baseball bats in a giant abandoned warehouse….but this isn’t really what we were expecting.Released just a few minutes ago, this Uber Eats ad has Hamill and Stewart facing off over how to pronounce the word tomato, and also a confusing turn of phrase (for Hamill). Hamill is armed with a baseball bat, Stewart carries a cricket bat. It’s absolutely adorable and the perfect thing to start this week of right.

Leave it to Disney+ and Marvel Studios to drop a trailer on a Sunday night while we’re cooking dinner! But, we’re happy to report there’s a brand new trailer for the upcoming series “Wanda Vision,” all about everyone’s favorite Avengers odd couple. You can see the trailer here. Clearly, the series reunites Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda, and Paul Bettany as android Vision.

We WISH we were making this up, but this is completely a real thing that happened in the city of Detroit. Some say he was just a good ol boy never meaning no harm. This person, no idea if it was a male or female driver, decided to reenact a fairly notable scene from the classic film “Blues Brothers” by attempting to jump his car over an opening draw bridge. Unconfirmed if he was wearing sunglasses, but it *was* dark. But- this is completely a REAL THING THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.Watch the video here. The real MVP is the drawbridge operator,…

At long last, fans can pre-order the brand new Funimation Ultra HD 4K remaster of Katsuhiro Otomo’s seminal piece of anime, “AKIRA.” We’re not sure what all will be on this 4K yet, but we’ll let you know what we find out. This new “AKIRA” remaster is available to pre order on Amazon now, and is expected to start shipping on December 22nd, 2020.

We’re not going to be seeing the fairly important Spacing Guild navigators in the upcoming Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures release of “Dune.” We’re a little taken aback by this declaration from artist, conceptual designer and Denis Villeneuve collaborator, Carlos Huante. Huante worked with Villeneuve on “Arrival,” and apparently did some early concept work for the sandworms in “Dune.” During a recent chat with Who’s Nick, he revealed that he isn’t sure if his work will be featured at all in the film.And, that Villeneuve will NOT have the Navigators as part of “Dune.” Here’s what Huante said about it: “Trust…

The full line of McFarlane Toys “Dune” figures is available for pre-order now, but where the hell is Chani?!

You may have noticed that we here at Nerdbot are just a weeeee bit obsessed with Frank Herbert’s seminal work of science fiction, “Dune.” It’s like our “Star Wars,” although we DO really, really, love the ‘Wars (and “Star Trek” too). So many incredible things are coming out in conjunction with the new film from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, including toys, comics, new editions of the original book saga, a NEW book saga, and games…. Like Dire Wolf Digital’s upcoming Dune: Imperium! Dire Wolf Digital, Gale Force 9, and Genuine Entertainment have combined forces to produce DUNE: IMPERIUM, the…

This may be one of the single-greatest LEGO “Star Wars” sets ever released- Mos Eisley Cantina! For every collector from across the galaxy far, far away, this 3,187 piece has something for everyone.BUT, sadly, it’s currently sold out on LEGO’s official website. No word on if a restock is gonna happen. “This place can be a little rough.” In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi™, the Mos Eisley Cantina™ may be filled with danger, but it’s also an epic build that takes fans back to one of the classic moments in the Star Wars™ saga. Introduced in Star Wars: A New Hope, the Cantina is…

We are pleased to report that the Marvel Studios Disney+ live action series all about Kamala Khan, aka “Ms. Marvel” is getting closer to beginning filming! Obviously we still don’t know will be playing the title role, but there was some pretty big news today. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, directors of “Bad Boys For Life,” as well as Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (first Pakistani filmmaker to win an Oscar), and Meera Menon (“The Walking Dead,” “Marvel’s The Punisher,” and “Titans”) were all confirmed to be directing episodes of the series. The Hollywood Reporter broke this news today during their weekly Friday Heat Blog,…
