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.
This just in-with Paramount+’s “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” officially ending with season 5, we didn’t think there would be any big casting news. Considering the series wrapped filming last week, this is kind of surprising. Thomas Jane (“The Expanse,” “The Punisher”) has been cast as Leonard “Bones” McCoy, played by DeForest Kelley in the original series. Kai Murakami has been cast as Hikaru Sulu, portrayed by George Takei. This news is developing…

It was always going to come back to this,” returning directors Joe and Anthony Russo said about the teaser. The cast for “Avengers:…
We are so excited to share the first released trailer for Sir Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic, “The Odyssey.” Yes, a 5-minute clip has been running before IMAX showings of “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” but like all other Nolan theatrically released clips and trailers, that one will more than likely not be released to the public. Written around the 8th century BC, Homer’s “The Odyssey” is a timeless work of Greek literature. It centers around Odysseus (Matt Damon), king of Ithaca, as he embarks on a 10-year voyage home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he encounters several tests of…
We are so excited and delighted to not only share the news that iconic Scottish singer/songwriter/humanitarian Annie Lennox is behind the “Outlander” season 8 “Skye Boat Song” theme, but also to share the full opening credits with you! “For the eighth and final season, there was only one singer I hoped to work with to craft a satisfying conclusion to this musical arc: the legendary Annie Lennox,” Emmy winning composer Bear McCreary (“Battlestar Galactica,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”) said. “I was delighted that Annie recognized the depth of the series’ narrative and channeled that into her…
We are very sorry to share the news of the passing of Gil Gerard. He was probably most well-known for his role in the iconic series “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.” The news was shared by his wife, Janet Gerard. “Early this morning Gil – my soulmate – lost his fight with a rare and viciously aggressive form of cancer,” Jill shared on Facebook. “From the moment when we knew something was wrong to his death this morning was only days. No matter how many years I got to spend with him it would have ever been enough. Hold…

We are so very sorry to report the news that legendary director Rob Reiner, along with his wife Michelle, have passed away.The situation is one that we would describe as…ongoing, as well as horrific. Rob and his wife were found in their home, victims of a knife attack. Nick Reiner, Rob and Michelle’s son, was arrested by the LAPD, and charged with murder. Original reports indicated he was being held with a $4 million bail, but he is now being held without bail. “The investigation further revealed that Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Robert and Michele Reiner, was responsible…
We knew it was always possible, but it sounds like Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” will have some kind of trailer next week. Not only will there be a trailer, there could possibly be up to four different trailers. Various Hollywood sources indicate the teaser/trailer whatever it is will show before James Cameron’s “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” The same sources claim the 3 or 4 “Doomsday” trailers will show for the next four weeks, one new one per week. No word on the likelihood of this, but stranger things have happened. The cast for “Avengers: Doomsday” includes (but is not…
