There are few actors who could’ve brought characters like Indiana Jones and Han Solo to the big screen with such charm, wit, and heart as the one and only Harrison Ford. Sorta the patron saint of the everyman actor who happens to have the face of a Hollywood star, the masterful comedic timing of a Vaudeville great, and finger of doom- Ford has been a force to be reckoned with in his near 60-year career. Lucasfilm and Disney+ sure know what they’ve got here in their leading man, so it’s only natural a new, feature-length (yay!) documentary all about the…

Thanks to Vanity Fair, we have our first look at Prime Video’s upcoming live-action “Fallout” series. Based on the highly popular franchise from Bethesda, this looks to be AMAZING. HBO’s “Westworld” co-creators/showrunners Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan developed the series. Ella Purnell plays Lucy, a vault dweller, and Kyle MacLachlan plays her father, vault overseer Hank.  “Lucy is charming and plucky and strong,” Jonathan Nolan said. “And then you see she’s confronted with the reality of, hey, maybe the supposedly virtuous things you grew up with are not necessarily that virtuous. If they are virtuous, they’re couched in a circumstantial virtuousness. It’s a luxury…

Perhaps the greatest film ever told about rock n roll is getting an official sequel. We’re talking of course about the 1984 rockumentary about Britain’s loudest band, Spinal Tap. From director Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner), the classic spoof-but-with-actual-music tells the tale of David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), Nigel Tuffnel (Christopher Guest), Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), and a rotating cast of drummers who meet untimely ends.Guest stars include a very young (now SAG-AFTRA President) Fran Drechser, Paul Shaffer, Angelia Houston, Billy Crystal, Ed Begly Jr., and the late Fred Willard. In May of 2022, an honest-to-goodness sequel was announced, with the…

This just in-Noah Hawley’s upcoming “Alien” series for FX just got a pretty serious casting edition. Timothy Olyphant, who we love most for his time in “Deadwood” and obviously “Justified,” has reportedly joined the show. We’re not sure who he’ll be playing yet- terrestrial Colonial Marine, representative of ‘The Company,’ maybe even a synth! UPDATE- Some outlets *are* saying Olyphant will play an android character named Kirsh.He joins already confirmed cast members Alex Lawther (“The End of the F*cking World“) , Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror“), Essie Davis (“The Babadook,” “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries)”,  Adarsh Gourav (“The White Tiger“), and Sydney Chandler.This story is developing…

Mason Alexander Park, who played Desire in season 1 of Netflix’s “The Sandman,” has some pretty great news for fans! As we know, the show, based on the graphic novel by Neil Gaiman, was late in getting the renewal, despite overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and fans alike. It spent weeks in the top 10 for the streaming service, and it really seemed like a no-brainer for additional seasons. It took until November last year for Netflix to officially announce a season 2 pickup. But, its been a while since we’ve heard anything concrete about the show, despite Gaiman’s near…

The Coen Brothers’ single-handedly made the White Russian adult beverage mainstream with their iconic 1998 film, “The Big Lebowski.” Bathrobes, bowling, rugs really tying the room together- these things and more became cultural touchstones for fans of the film. If you’ve ever wanted to own a piece of the flick, your chance is coming next month. To celebrate the 25 anniversary, a special auction event featuring over 250 items from storyboards, costumes, and more, all celebrating “The Big Lebowski” is coming to Julien’s Auctions in Hollywood, CA. A portion of the proceeds from each lot will go to Share Our Strength’s…

Highly anticipated animated comedy “Hazbin Hotel” has an official premiere date! Vivienne Medrano created the original YouTube series, and this version is produced by A24, and Bento Box Entertainment.The series blends adult humor, unforgettable characters, and catchy musical numbers creating a wholly original and unique world. “Hazbin Hotel” follows Charlie, the princess of Hell, as she pursues her seemingly impossible goal of rehabilitating demons to peacefully reduce overpopulation in her kingdom. After a yearly extermination imposed by angels, she opens a hotel in the hopes that patrons will be “checking out” into Heaven. While most of Hell mocks her goal,…

Raise your hand if you forgot Karl Urban is FINALLY playing Johnny Cage, because we sure did! The “Judge Dredd” star posted an update from the set of “Mortal Kombat 2,” featuring several of his co-stars hanging out. News of Urban’s inclusion in the film came back in June of this year, from project producer Todd Garner. The update from Urban today is that production is moving right along, with filming continuing. It’s interesting to note we don’t get to SEE him in the photo, which could possibly be to hide his hair/costume. Mechad Brooks (“Supergirl”) plays Jax Briggs, Damon…
