At long last, the first official images of Jamie Clayton as the Hellpriest, aka Pinhead, have been released. The upcoming “Hellraiser” film does have original creator Clive Barker on board as a producer, with David Bruckner directing. “Clive’s been very involved,” says Bruckner. “Clive came on before the shoot, when we were in prep, and was really just a wonderful resource for me. He was really generous with his time, and very welcoming of the idea that this was a new group of artists, and that they were going to run with this and land in different places with it.…

Despite years of naysayers continually trying to trash Rian Johnson’s MASTERFUL entry into the galaxy far, far away, the filmmaker remains hopeful his “Star Wars” trilogy will happen. It’s not so much a matter of Lucasfilm not being interested (as SOME outlets have tried to ‘report’), but more a busy schedule on both sides.Johnson has a new film due out this year- “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,”- as well as a tv series in the works. Also, the “Star Wars” universe hasn’t exactly been without projects, either. Some little releases like “The Mandalorian,” “Book of Boba Fett,” “Obi Wan…

We are….not sure if scared or delighted…to share the first official trailer for the “Winnie the Pooh” inspired horror film, “Blood and Honey.” The classic children’s tales written by A. A. Milne entered the public domain recently. So, you know- we’re gonna get some weird uses of the property.Check out the first trailer now. We’ll let you know what we hear about a possible release date.

A bit of a he-said-he-shot conundrum has recently come to light concerning a million-dollar auction item. Han Solo’s DL-44 blaster, used by Harrison Ford in the iconic “Star Wars” films, recently sold at auction for a very high price tag. But, it may not be what the buyer thinks it is. According to experts, this particular item, which was listed by Rock Island Auction Company (RIAC) as “the sole surviving example” of the prop, is NOT a hero item, minus one part. In a press release written after the blaster sold for a whopping $1.057 million this past weekend, RIAC…

This just in, HBO Max has renewed their popular animated series “Harley Quinn” for a 4th season. One big change though- a new showrunner is stepping up. Sarah Peters, who has written on the series across three seasons, is taking over from Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker. “We are ecstatic that HBO Max wants the story of Harley and Ivy to continue,” Halpern and Schumacker said in a statement. “And we are equally thrilled that this next season will be in great hands with Sarah Peters as our showrunner and Ceci Aranovich overseeing animation production, as they have both greatly…

We are delighted to share the news that Sir Ben Kingsley’s delightful Marvel Studios character Trevor Slattery in Disney+’s upcoming “Wonder Man” series. Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) is developing the property, taking its cues from the Marvel Comics title of the same name.Kingsley first debuted as Trevor Slattery in “Iron Man 3,” as a bait-and-switch for The Mandarin, iconic villain. He returned in his own short, “Hail to the King,” and again in Cretton’s “Shang-Chi.”Still no word on other casting for the series yet, but it’ll be great to see Trevor (and hopefully…

This is one of those rumors we’re seeing pop up all over the place right now. Back in 2021, Megan was rumored to be playing a MCU version of herself in “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” but it was never really confirmed. In a recent interview with The Cut (New York paywall, sorry), reporter Ashley C. Ford alludes Megan is in an upcoming episode of the Disney+ series. Guess we’ll find out on an upcoming Wednesday? You can catch the first two episodes of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” on Disney+ now. New episodes drop each week.

We can absolutely appreciate a good deepfake around here- especially if it’s well done. Okay fine, even when it’s NOT well done. Sometimes the use of this particular technology begs us to ask why- DEAR GODS, WHY. Like this one that’s been making the rounds again. May we present “Pretty Woman,” but starring Willem Dafoe instead of Julia Roberts. Dafoe is one of those actors who is capable of pretty much anything. Creepy? Check. Suave? Check. Something of a scientist? Double check. But, did you EVER think you’d see him…singing Prince in the bathtub? Yeah, only in our strangest fever…

We do want to say that while this isn’t concrete yet, it does seem likely Marvel Studios’ “Fantastic Four” has found it’s director. Most recently Jon Watts, who directed the trio of “Spider-Man” films starring Tom Holland, was in the hot seat. But, considering he *did* just complete a fairly sizable trilogy for Marvel Studios, he decided to turn down the project. During SDCC 2022, Kevin Feige revealed the “Fantastic Four” was going to kick off Phase Six of the MCU, along with a release date. But no information about casting or a director has been confirmed. This is likely…
