We are very sad to share the news of the passing of Dame Diana Rigg, celebrated actress of stage and screens big and small. She was a powerhouse always, and her costars from across the globe have already started sharing their memories of her. Rigg’s agent, Simon Beresford, confirmed the news this morning with a statement: “Diana Rigg died peacefully early this morning. She was at home with her family who have asked for privacy at this difficult time. Diana was a much loved and admired member of her profession, a force of nature who loved her work and her…

We are SO EXCITED to share this short first look at the coming “Wheel of Time” adaptation from Amazon Prime Video. Don’t get TOO excited, as it’s only a short glimpse of the Winespring Inn in Emond’s Field, BUT it probably means we’re not too far away from a teaser or a trailer. Showrunner Rafe Judkins shared the video to his personal Instagram account. “You want stories?” Thom Merrilin declaimed. “I have stories, and I will give them to you. I will make them come alive before your eyes.”WE ARE SO READY FOR “WHEEL OF TIME.”

[Please- wash your damn hands and wear your damn mask.] New York Comic Con is the next large-scale convention on the calendar, and this morning, NYCC released the first round of their virtual panels.

Blame whomever you like about the largely disappointing conclusion of the Skywalker Saga in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” Was it Kathleen Kennedy’s fault? JJ Abrams’? Or was the film a victim of it’s own hype? Personally, we’re gonna go with Abrams, who was brought in to complete the saga after Colin Trevorrow was fired from Episode IX. That’s not to say that Kennedy, head of LucasFilm, doesn’t shoulder some of the responsibility too, as she had final story say. But Abrams had to sell them on his idea, which it really sounds like he made up as he…

We’re not exactly sure how this came to be, but Ryan Reynolds SOMEHOW convinced Rick Moranis to return to acting. Kinda. Sorta. In a post Reynolds shared on Twitter, we see the two Canadians doing a commercial for Mint Mobile. Fans across Twitter immediately starting calling for Moranis to appear in “Deadpool 3.” We should be so lucky. This isn’t the first time Moranis, who retired from acting, has made a ‘comeback’ recently- he voiced his “Spaceballs” character Dark Helmet in an episode of “The Goldbergs” back in 2018. And, we know he’ll be involved in Disney+’s upcoming “Honey I…
