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.
Ah yes, the week of CinemaCon. A collection of studios and exhibitors parading their upcoming features. There has been “Highlander” news, “TWISTERS” teases, “SAW XI,” and more. Like the official confirmation from Blumhouse that a sequel for “Five Nights at Freddy’s” is on the way. The film is eyeing a reported 2025 release. Obviously, not a lot is known about the sequel yet, but we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
More breaking news from CinemaCon-original “Heroes” series creator Tim Kring is working on rebooting the fan-favorite series with “Heroes: Eclipsed.”It’s reportedly set years after the events of the original series.

CinemaCon is going full-swing in Las Vegas this week. With that comes loads of news, trailers, and pullquotes from some of our favorite actors and filmmakers. Things like….confirmation that Chad Stahelski’s “Highlander” reboot is starting to pick up some immortal steam. We know Henry Cavill will star in the flick, but what hasn’t been known for sure is what the plot will be. A straight remake of the Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery starring original film? Maybe something closer to the Adrian Paul tv series? Or even “Highlander: The Raven,” which starred Elizabeth Gracen. [Stop laughing! “The Raven” is a pretty cool product of it’s time!] The answer is…
Following a Warner Bros. Pictures panel at CinemaCon in Las Vegas today, the first trailer for the upcoming “Joker” sequel has been released. Director Todd Phillips returns to helm “Joker: Foile à Deux,.” Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix also returns as the Clown Prince of Crime. This time, he’s joined by Lady Gaga, who will be playing the one and only Dr. Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn. In the first film, Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) is an aspiring comedian battling some serious mental health issues. We watch as he slowly slides down the rabbit hole of becoming one of DC Comics’ most notorious villains, The…
In another bit of HBO shelving something news, sounds like yet another one of those “Game of Thrones” spinoffs is NOT happening now. First revealed back in June of 2022, a Jon Snow-centric spinoff series titled “SNOW” was pretty much confirmed by author George RR Martin. Likewise, series star Kit Harrington seemed pretty sure this was a done deal. But, as time has moved forward and “House of the Dragon” is all the rage, it sounds like maybe “SNOW” isn’t happening. “Currently, it’s off the table, because we all couldn’t find the right story to tell that we were all…
Hey there, Vaultdweller. Looks like you could use a spot of good news today. How about if we told you Prime Video has moved up the release of their “Fallout” series? A full DAY early! The news was announced by the official Prime Video social medias, using a familiar face. “Fallout” is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an…
At long last, we finally know who will lead HBO’s next “Game of Thrones” spinoff series. Titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,” this show will center on the tales of Ser Duncan the Tall and Aegon V Targaryen, otherwise known as Dunk and Egg. Fans of both the books and show will no doubt recall how often the pair are mentioned. This is actually one of the spinoffs we’re really looking forward to. (The other being the Nymeria-centric show, which we’ll probably never get. The HUMAN Nymeria. Although one about Ayra’s giant she-direwolf would be pretty…
Today marks a very special day for “Star Trek” fans. According to series lore, April 5th 2063 marks the day humans first achieved warp flight, and in doing so, caught the attention of Vulcans, who came to Earth to see the ‘primitive people’ who had done this great thing. So I guess we could also say it’s from this meeting one of Starfleet / the Federation’s most stringent rules comes from- The Prime Directive. That rule prohibits Starfleet / Federation members from interfering with the natural development of alien civilizations. Specifically, if a planet or people are pre-warp technology, you…
We knew director Denis Villeneuve wanted to make a third “Dune” film. In fact, he’s been talking about actively working on the script for his version of “Dune Messiah” for years. With the success of “Dune Part Two,” it was only a matter of time before Legendary Pictures confirmed it was definitely in development. That’s what we’re hearing now. Buried in coverage of Villeneuve’s possible next film project- “Nuclear War: A Scenario” – the usual suspects dropped the Lisan al Giab news. Before we dive into “Messiah,” let’s look at what this other project is. Based on a Pulitzer Prize…
We have some sad news for bargain shoppers. The 99 Cents Only retail chain of deep discount stores is closing all their locations.
