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.

This just in-we are delighted to share the news that Matt Frewer will be returning as a pretty iconic character. Max Headroom, cyberpunk icon from the mid 80s, will be making a comeback on AMC. Not only that, but Frewer will be reprising the role. Christopher Cantwell, co-creator one of my personal favorite series “Halt and Catch Fire,” is penning the project, and will act as showrunner. Other notable names attached include Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah’s SpectreVision and All3Media producing. No word on when we may see the project, but we’ll let you know what we hear about this and…

This just in-it would appear there is a real reason for the ongoing delay for the next “Tomb Raider” film. According to reports, MGM Studios has lost the battle for ownership rights to the franchise. The rights have reverted to Graham King and GK Films. Earlier this week, rumors of bidding wars from streaming services and other studios were rampant, and now we know why. It’s also worth noting Square Enix, who was the video game publisher for the Tomb Raider titles, also recently sold their stake in the franchise.This also means any possible sequels starring Alicia Vikander are unlikely.Amazon…

It’s currently scheduled to hit theaters March 17th,…

A bit of background before we dive into a new trailer for an upcoming STARZ historical drama series. Several years ago, David S. Goyer brought a series about a young Leonardo Da Vinci to the cable network. It wasn’t JUST about Leo, although he was the main focal point. The show touched on the Medici family, one of the most influential and powerful families in European history. Sure, it was silly at times, but something about it was pretty great. The thing it was missing though was more of the Medici story. That’s where the next STARZ drama comes in-…

Dozens of documentaries get made about prominent musicians and personalities. What makes this new David Bowie docu so special? Well, this is the first time his family has approved it. Supermodel and beauty icon Iman (who just happens to be Bowie’s widow) had spoken about the family’s hesitance to grant approval previously. “We always ask each other, ‘Would he do it?’ He wouldn’t,” she told Variety. What makes this time different? Director Brett Morgen, actually. Morgen previously helmed high profile documentaries “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck” and “Jane.” So it’s somewhat easier to understand the families’ choice. Morgen was able to use Bowie’s master recordings,…
