Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
Denis Villeneuve gives insight into the painful experience of not working closely with frequent collaborator, editor Joe Walker on completing “Dune.”
Earlier today, FX released the first look at the upcoming 4th season of series “Fargo” from Noah Hawley. With three seasons of amazing stories behind the spin off / continuation of The Cohen Brothers Oscar-winning film of the same name. Season 4 of “Fargo” has some big names joining, like Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman, Timothy Olyphant, and Ben Whishaw. We’re certainly interested in what’s in store for this period-piece edition of the show, which is set in Kansas City, Missouri in the 1950’s. You can see the first tease for the show here, or scroll down for the video. While there still isn’t…
This just in across our desks on a Friday night, but it sounds like Donald Trump is keen to outright BAN social media video platform TikTok from the United States of America. Earlier today, Microsoft announced interest in purchasing the China-based company. Trump said in response to this news: “We’re looking at TikTok, we may be banning TikTok. We may be doing some other things. There’s a couple of options. But a lot of things are happening, so we’ll see what happens. But we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to TikTok.”This is the newest update on…
This just in- sounds like Netflix is looking to begin a feature film adaptation of Ubisoft title “Beyond Good & Evil.” It’ll be a hybrid live-action and cgi flick for the streaming giant, and we know who’s directing.According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” helmer Rob Letterman will be tackling the project. The game, which Ubisoft originally released back in 2003, is described as: [Beyond Good and Evil] takes place in the 25th century on a remote mining planet that is under alien attack. The military rulers that promised to defend the population may be in league with the invaders.…
Just in case you forgot- yes, we’re still getting a Disney+ tv show prequel series all about Gaston from the live-action “Beauty and the Beast” 2017 live-action film. This means that yes, Luke Evans is on board to return as Gaston, and Josh Gad will also return as LeFou. In a recent chat with Variety, newly minted EGOT status composer (and Disney legend) Alan Menken revealed the title for the show! “I’m excited about the projects I’m doing. I’m working on ‘Disenchanted’ and a new ‘Beauty and the Beast’ prequel, ‘The Little Town.’” If you know your “Beauty and the…
We are thrilled to report that Kevin Smith is currently hard at work on a brand new animated project based on the classic hero, “The Green Hornet.”
We’re still really hopeful that someday, we’ll get an actual Judge Dredd tv series from Rebellion. They even bought a damn studio facility in order to sort of jumpstart the process, and have Netflix onboard with a continuation of Pete Travis’s 2012 “Dredd” film starring Karl Urban. While we’re still not sure what exactly the already-kinda-sorta announced “Mega-City One” show would be about, we do know that Rebellion is still hell-bent on making it happen. On a recent stop by the V2A (hi guys love you!) Emergency Broadcast System live-show, Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley gave a bit of an update…
