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.

Disney+ has announced plans for a sequel to 1993’s spoopy Halloween hit “Hocus Pocus,” with Adam Shankman (“Hairspray”) on board to direct. This of course was cause for GREAT excitement for fans of the feature film. Since then, we haven’t really heard anything new about it, other than Jen D’Angelo (“Workaholics” writer and co-producer) penning the script. The story will reportedly follow the witches as they try to acclimate to the 20th Century.They then discover — to their horror — that Halloween has become a holiday.The question arose about the possibility of the original cast returning, namely the three Sanderson…

It still seems like an odd film to develop a sequel for, but “Gladiator 2” is still being worked on, apparently. Sir Ridley Scott has been adamant that it would work, and that it’s something he wants to see happen. A sequel to the Oscar-winning Roman warrior film is something Scott has been trying to do for sometime, but it somehow couldn’t quite find its footing. There was that time in 2017 when music icon Nick Cave revealed his plans for a sequel, and Scott commented on that idea saying: “You know I can bring him back, I know how to bring him…

Filmmaker David Ayer is not afraid to defend his Warner Bros. Pictures movie “Suicide Squad.” We can’t really blame him, honestly, as the more he talks about it, the more it seems like the studio never trusted his vision for it.If you’ll recall in May of 2020, DC Comics fans were presented with the realization that yes, the much-rumored Snyder Cut of “Justice League” is a thing, and yes, we’d be seeing it eventually on HBO Max. This started all the conversations again about other director’s cuts seeing the light of day. Enter David Ayer, and his cut of “Suicide…

Remember when Amazon purchased a very substantial set of literary IP to develop into series and such? We remember, and we remember that one title in particular had our interest- Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower.” If you’ll recall back in 2016, HBO was reportedly working on a series based on the books, that wouldn’t have a damn thing to do with the Sony 2017 feature film starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. That project got scrapped. In February of 2018, Amazon picked up the rights for The Dark Tower, Wheel of Time, Ringworld, Lazarus, Snow Crash, and a little thing called “Lord of…
