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.
We still can’t believe this film is happening. A sequel to Ridley Scott’s incredible historic epic, “Gladiator.” True, there’s no Russell Crowe or Joaquin Phoenix this time around, but there *is* Connie Nielsen! The sequel stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, and Fred Hechinger. If you didn’t see the incredible first-look photos, you can check those out here. “Gladiator II” hits theaters November 22nd. Check out the trailer now:
Seems like Marvel Studios is at long last releasing the Agatha Harkness spinoff series. The character was first introduced to the MCU during “WandaVision,” brought to life by the scenery-chewing amazing performance of Kathryn Hahn. This morning, Disney+ and Marvel Studios confirmed the spinoff series “Agatha All Along” will indeed release this fall, and also shared a poster: Hahn returns as Agatha. Broadway great Patti LuPone, Aubrey Plaza, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, and Debra Jo Rupp also star.It hits Disney+ September 18th. Check out the teaser now:
This just in-it looks like yet another anticipated series isn’t going forward. A series based in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” universe covering Arkham Asylum is reportedly dead at MAX. (HOWEVER, additional claims have said it was simply going to be “set in the DCU,” not specifically Reeves’ universe.)Originally announced in 2022, Antonio Campos was going to serve as showrunner and head writer for the project, which was being developed for HBO’s streaming service, MAX. As of today, according to Variety, the series is no longer happening with Campos. Now, this could very well mean it gets shopped elsewhere, or that…
“You’re gonna need a bigger LEGO boat.” “Jaws.” One of the greatest movies ever made (fight me).

Feast your eyes on the new official set, due out August 1st- It’s got Quint, Chief Brody, and Hooper! Looks like it’s priced at $159.99, and is not currently available yet. We’ll let you know when orders are live.
We are DELIGHTED to share a brand new image from the upcoming “The Lord of the Rings” anime film, “The War of the Rohirrim.” This project is one near and dear to our hearts, and we cannot wait to see it in theaters. The story is set 183 years before the events chronicled in Sir Peter Jackson’s original trilogy of films. Directed by Kenji Kamiyama (“Blade Runner: Black Lotus“), the film will detail the story of Helm Hammerhand (Brian Cox), the ancient king of Rohan. We’ll meet his daughter, Hèra (Gaia Wise), who is every bit a Tolkien heroine, in their battle against the…
This is one of those times we really wish we could be like ‘other outlets’ and share set photos. The reasons we DON’T do that are numerous and annoying, so we won’t bore you with that. But, there is something revealed this week that’s rather heartwarming. In set photos taken on James Gunn’s upcoming “Superman” from for DC Studios, a certain person was was seen.Will Reeve, son of the late Christopher and Dana Reeve, was spotted along with Gunn. While there has been no confirmation of Will’s involvement, internet sleuths and fans seem pretty convinced it’s him. [These photos are…
We REALLY don’t want to come across as mean, but, the official teaser for the next chapter in the “Hellboy” film saga is here. And….it looks like a fanfilm? Thats not to say it’s BAD, but, it has a rather home-grown feel we’re not sure works with this particular franchise. Brian Taylor directs from a script by “Hellboy” creator Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden. It stars Jack Kesy as Big Red himself, Jefferson White (Yellowstone) as Tom Ferrel, Leah McNamara as Effie Kolb, Joseph Marcell as Reverend Watts, Hannah Margetson as Cora Fisher, and Martin Bassindale as the Crooked Man. It…
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED by the idea of Ridley Scott directing a sequel to “Gladiator?” We sure are, but also still kinda scratching our heads. The original film is perfection- it’s perhaps Scott’s most perfect film. (That’s not to say that “Alien” and “Blade Runner” aren’t the pinnacle of filmmaking, and genre-defining at that. But “Gladiator” is something more….crowd-pleasing from the get-go.) That’s what brings us to this slew of first-look photos of the upcoming epic “Gladiator II,” from photographer Aidan Monaghan for Paramount Pictures. In a special spread from Vanity Fair, we get our first glimpse at Pedro Pascal…
While promoting his next great American Western film, Kevin Costner has embarked on quite a press tour. Costner will not be returning to hit television series “Yellowstone,” but his “Horizon: An American Saga” film is currently in theaters.Apparently as part of the tour, Costner has been sampling his favorite treat across various cities. Namely, banana milkshakes. Don’t get us wrong, we too deeply love these creamy treats. But it just seems like a weird flex, ya know? You can watch the video here. “Horizon: An American Saga” is currently in theaters now. Costner stars alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena…
