“Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler has written a beautiful letter about the sudden and heartbreaking passing of Chadwick Boseman. The letter was released earlier this morning, and can be read below. “Before sharing my thoughts on the passing of the great Chadwick Boseman, I first offer my condolences to his family who meant so very much to him. To his wife, Simone, especially.I inherited Marvel and the Russo Brothers’ casting choice of T’Challa. It is something that I will forever be grateful for. The first time I saw Chad’s performance as T’Challa, it was in an unfinished cut of CAPTAIN…

We’re still in a state of disbelief and shock after last night’s heartbreaking news about the passing of “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman. If you didn’t see our coverage about it, you can see that here. We updated it throughout the evening as additional Marvel Studios and notable personalities shared their grief with the fans across the world. One that we missed last night came from Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, who had this to say about Boseman: “Chadwick’s passing is absolutely devastating. He was our T’Challa, our Black Panther, and our dear friend. Each time he stepped on set,…

We are so heartbroken to report that Chadwick Boseman, star of Marvel Studios “Black Panther,” has lost his battle with colon cancer. This has come as an understandable shock, as the actor had kept his diagnosis (and subsequent treatment) a secret for many years. His family released a statement, saying: “It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of…

This is one of those things we saw bubbling this past year….William Shatner, Captain James Tiberius Kirk himself, has been pondering via his always lively Twitter account about the legitimacy and usefulness of the newest branch of the United States of America’s military- Space Force. Not to be confused for the Netflix comedy series of the same name (that actually has a trademark claim that predates the USA’s) starring Steve Carrell and John Malkovich, Space Force leaves many of us wondering what the hell. Shatner, never a man to mix words, decided to take his quandaries all the way to…

Season 2 of “His Dark Materials” just got another pretty gorgeous teaser from HBO and HBO Max, which ALSO shares that the show will return sometime in November 2020. Based on Phillip Pullman’s bestselling trilogy, “His Dark Materials” season 2 looks to adapt novel The Subtle Knife.

While we’re still DESPERATELY trying to forget the absolutely horrible 11th season of FOX’s mainstay supernatural drama series “The X-Files,” we’re now also scratching our heads as to why someone is developing an animated spinoff of said show. Seriously. Did….did you guys not SEE that travesty that was season 11? It was unforgivable. HOWEVER- this animated series will have Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko (Netflix’s Paradise PD) will pen the pilot. The pair will also serve as executive producers alongside Carter (WHO IS NOT WRITING OR SHOWRUNNING, THANK GODS) and Gabe Rotter. Animation studio Bento Box will handle the art. Reportedly, it’ll…

If you know anything about us, it’s that we’ve been anxiously anticipating Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming “Dune” adaptation for Warner Bros. Pictures since the day it was announced.One of our absolute favorite science fiction franchises out there, (seriously, it’s my personal equivalent of Star Wars, and I freaking love Star Wars too) this is one of those titles we’re REALLY hoping gets the love and respect it so richly deserves. Anyhow, here are the three amazing EMPIRE Magazine covers for their September issue which you can order here. The new issue of Empire is a major world-exclusive, going on set of Villeneuve’s ambitious…

Hell has indeed frozen over, and “The New Mutants” has actually released in theaters (kinda). The most surprising part? IT. DOESN’T. SUCK.

Even though we’re not getting to have our in-person events this year, some of the notable conventions are still providing their exclusives. San Diego Comic Con did their At Home online releases (and so did the various high ranking companies like Hasbro and Mattel), and now we know what Star Wars Celebration has to offer! The official Celebration online store is open now for browsing, but not for purchasing yet. That’ll happen on August 28th for Celebration ticket holders at noon EST, and then on August 31st at noon for the public. Some highlights that we REALLY really want include:…

This just in from our friends at Netflix- we ARE getting a live action television series based on Capcom’s “Resident Evil” franchise! Confirmed this morning officially, we first reported on this possibility back in January of 2019 with Constantin Film at the helm of a possible film reboot. This isn’t that.Apparently the series will have a 8-episode first season. Directly from the official Netflix “Resident Evil” press release: Building on one of the most popular, best selling survival horror video games of all time, Resident Evil will tell a brand new story across two timelines:In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters…
