This just in-“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” one of our favorite 80s films, is getting a spinoff! We all remember the valets who take Cameron’s (Alan Ruck) father’s car for a joyride, right? Well, we’re about to learn a whole lot more about them in “Sam & Victor’s Day Off.” “Cobra Kai” creators Jon Hurwtiz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald are producing for Paramount. Another dojo member Bill Posley (“Bitch Ass”) will be penning the screenplay. No word on possible cast or a director yet. This story is developing…

We are absolutely delighted to share the news that Emmy winning composer Bear McCreary’s score for Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is available now! “I’m trying to honor the legacy of what Howard Shore created, and to do so by using those epic colors, and crafting 15 new themes that can be added to the pantheon of memorable melodies that started with Shore’s films,” McCreary said. “I’m a huge fan of the J.R.R. Tolkien books, of the legendarium, the mythology and the Peter Jackson films. They were, in a way, at the nexus of…

Ok so this doesn’t REALLY count as a Rick Roll because we made it VERY CLEAR in the headline what you’ll be seeing/hearing. The one and only Rick Astley has recreated his iconic “Never Gonna Give You Up” music video for AAA Insurance, who have been using the tune in their ads for several years. It’s kind of awesome. Also, don’t forget someone took the time to update the original music video in 4K! Truly an important project.

Hope you’re ready to *snap snap*, because Netflix’s “Wednesday” series about the Addams Family is almost here! Yesterday, it was new images of the creepy and kooky cast of Tim Burton’s 8-episode show. Today, it’s a new teaser!And yes, looks like “Wednesday” is coming later this year in the fall.

I was a latecomer to AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” having throughly avoided “Breaking Bad” for my own personal life experience reasons. Someone who’s opinion I trusted implicitly told me to try “Saul,” that I would LOVE “Saul,” and they were not wrong. Two episodes in- I was in love. The cinematography, the writing, the CHARACTERS. This was a show I could (and did) fall hard and fast for. I mean how could you NOT just go head over heels for a scene like THIS? For someone like Rhea Seahorn? For Patrick Fabian (who has been posting some WONDERFUL bts photos),…

We are delighted to share the first look at Netflix’s upcoming “The Addams Family” series from Tim Burton, “Wednesday!” If you’ll recall, this is the first time Burton has ever done a television show. Jenna Ortega is set to play Wednesday Addams, who is a teenager in high school. Catherine Zeta-Jones is Mortitia, Luis Guzmán is Gomez, Isaac Ordonez is Pugsley. Colleen Atwood (“Edward Scissorhands,” “Sleepy Hollow,”” Sweeney Todd”) is doing the costumes, which is SO PERFECT. Danny Elfman is doing the score- also freaking perfect. You can read more about the show from Vanity Fair here. Including a tease…

As often happens with popular horror franchises, yet another chapter no one really expected is on the docket. According to the official social media accounts for the film “Saw,” another film is on the way from Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures.Director of “Saw: IV” and “Saw: The Final Chapter” Kevin Greutert is in the hot seat, according to Bloody Disgusting. “We have been listening to what the fans have been asking for and are hard at work planning a movie that Saw aficionados and horror fans alike will love,” producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules said. “And part of that is giving the reins…

The long-gestating “John Wick” prequel series “The Continential” is still happening. But, it’s moving homes. Originally being developed by Lionsgate for STARZ, the show is apparently going to bow on NBC Universal’s streaming service, Peacock. “The Continental” will star Colin Woodell as a young Winston Scott, the role played by Ian McShane in the “John Wick” franchise. With a story taking place in New York in 1975, the series will detail Winston’s rise of control of the assassin underworld’s most iconic hotel. Two other big pieces of news about the series are that it’ll only be 3 episodes, making it…

Imagine taking almost 50 years to apologize for something. We’re not talking spilling someone’s drink, or breaking a curio accidentally. We’re talking the Academy’s terrible treatment of Sasheen Littlefeather at the 1973 Oscars. Littlefeather, who is First Nation Apache/Yaqui/Ariz, was invited to the ceremony by honoree Marlon Brando. The “The Godfather” star did not attend the awards that night, but had Littlefeather accept the award on his behalf. Once she exited the stage, she was jeered and threatened by Academy members and others also in attendance. One story from the evening has western film star John Wayne “being physically restrained”…

We are delighted to share the first look at Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming anthology series for Netflix, “Cabinets of Curiosities.” “With CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, we set out to showcase the realities existing outside of our normal world: the anomalies and curiosities. We hand-picked and curated a group of stories and storytellers to deliver these tales, whether they come from outer space, supernatural lore, or simply within our minds,” del Toro said. “Just in time for Halloween, each of these eight tales is a fantastical peek inside the cabinet of delights existing underneath the reality we live in.” Episodes (in alphabetical…
