James Gunn and co head of DC Studios Peter Safran are launching an all new cinematic universe, which means some big casting decisions are happening. We already know who will be carrying on the honor of Krypton in the upcoming “Superman: Legacy” film, and some of the other characters we’ll be seeing. But today’s news is about another member of that family. Milly Alcock, Emilia Jones, and Meg Donnelly have apparently been named to the shortlist for the part of Kara Zor-El, cousin of Kal-El, and carrier of the name….Supergirl. We do know the basics for the film, which is…

What was billed as a “new comedy special” from George Carlin has been making the rounds. If you were unaware, Carlin passed away in 2008. This ‘new’ special is the work of AI. Work that Carlin’s family gave zero permission for. We will not be linking to it. Kelly Carlin, George’s daughter, issued the following statement via X (formerly Twitter). She also confirmed that the family had NOT given permission for Dudesy to use her father’s likeness and voice for this….project.”My statement regarding the AI generated George Carlin special: My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very…

This just in-Paramount’s “Star Trek” franchise is set to boldly go with an all-new film from director Toby Haynes (“Andor”). Seth Grahame-Smith (author of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”) will be penning the script.At present, the plot is being kept VERY quiet. Early sources indicate this will be some kind of ‘origin story’ set well before JJ Abrams rebooted the franchise in 2009.Perhaps most interesting is that Haynes directed the “Black Mirror” episode which parodied the long-running science fiction program in s4’s “USS Callister.” This story is developing…

This is some pretty big zombie news, you guys. One of the projects we’ve really been looking forward to over the last several years is a third entry into the “28 Days Later” franchise. Obviously we already had “28 Weeks,” but what about “28 Years Later?!” It’s a project both writer Alex Garland (“Dredd,” “Ex Machnia”) and director Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting,” “Pistol”) have been toying with for sometime. The last five years in fact the pair have mentioned a renewed interest in actually making it. Turns out, we’re getting even MORE than that.According to industry sources, “28 Years Later” is…

It’s a great day for fans of David Lynch’s “Dune!” Who are we kidding- that’s every day! But seriously, one of the long-lost written works of Lynch, long-rumored to exist, has been unearthed. Max Evry, who recently published the WONDERFUL “A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune,” made the discovery of a partial script for a sequel film. Back in December of 1984, Frank Herbert told Prevue magazine he had a copy of a script for “Dune II,” and was advising Lynch on it. “Now that we speak the same ‘language,’ it’s much easier for both of us to make…

Yesterday, the big question about whether or not a new season of “The Mandalorian” was officially answered. While no, we AREN’T getting another season, we ARE getting a feature film, “The Mandalorian & Grogu!” Jon Favreau is directing. But buried in THAT news was a mention of another series we’ve been anxiously awaiting news of. A second season of “Ahsoka” is currently in development!!! (If you scroll down to the very bottom of yesterday’s press release on the Star Wars website, you’ll see the news!) While…that’s kind of it as far as news go, we do now have a new…

We are VERY interested in the newest tease from A24. It’s not their next big movie, but its for something near and dear to our hearts. Last year, the studio did a theatrical re-release of Talking Head’s iconic concert film directed by the late Jonathan Demme, “Stop Making Sense.” It was a 4K remaster, it was in IMAX, and it was amazing. To sort of coincide (albeit months later), we’re also getting A TRIBUTE ALBUM! A24 shared a tease of the first track from the album, from a little band called Paramore. The VERY short tease shows frontwoman Hayley Williams…
