We’ll keep you updated.

What a crazy ride it’s been for Marvel Television Studios’ key series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Launching the secondary storytelling arm of Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson at the helm was a brilliant decision, and one we’re sad to see coming to an end. Originally announced back in October of 2012, the tv offshoot of the “Avengers” films has enjoyed 7 wonderful seasons on ABC, which culminates in the series finale that airs tonight, Wednesday August 12th, 2020. We wanted to share some of the images, videos and memories the cast and…

We say “finally,” and that’s because way back in 2018 during a San Diego Comic Con panel about of all things “The Orville,” we were privy to a bit of information about a revisit of “Clive Barker’s Books of Blood.” At the time, the information came DIRECTLY from Brannon Braga, who was kind enough to tell us (well, namely me due to our previous interviews) that a brand new project was coming from the dripping bloody pages of Clive Barker.It was a news tip I handed to my then-outlet Bleeding Cool, and we were the first to report on it.…

Coming as no surprise, New York Comic Con is the latest of the annual pop culture gatherings to scrap their in-person event for a virtual experience. Announced just a little bit ago, the convention that invades New York’s Javits Convention Center has officially made the call to cancel this year’s in-person event.

We had a feeling this was coming, something about the current state of things made it inevitable. Today we can report that a reboot of 90s sitcom (although it did have some absolutely beautiful moments of drama and truth) “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” is getting a reboot. Yes, Will Smith is attached, but at this point it’s behind the scenes as an executive producer. Perhaps you’ll recall the dramatic parody trailer “Bel-Air” from Morgan Cooper that made waves last year (if not, click here to watch it). It reimagined the Fresh Prince in a VERY different light- something more…

We want to start by saying writing reports like these is never easy, especially when we personally know some of those effected. Earlier today, WarnerMedia started to roll out a massive wave of layoffs across multiple portions of their vast entertainment empire including tv, films, and DC Comics. It is believed these layoffs come from both the current state of Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general as the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic continues raging, as well as WarnerMedia “restructuring.”In the first round of pink slips, some big names and heavy hitters within the company were included, like Warner Bros. CFO…
