Given all the comprehensively reported behind the scenes drama, the fact that Justice League is coherent seems like a minor miracle. Not only is it coherent, it’s actually fun in places. Zack Snyder’s film (a reported 15-20% of which is Joss Whedon’s) doesn’t leave you on the same high as Wonder Woman and it’s certainly
Wonder Woman 2 is years away, but a bit of tactical planning that has recently occurred means we’re going to get to see it a little bit earlier than we previously thought. The film was originally supposed to premiere on 13 December 2019, but that would have put it in competition with Star Wars: Episode 9.
Marvel has form when it comes to excellent casting choices. From Robert Downey Jr through to Krysten Ritter, they’ve hit the nail on the head more often than not. However, getting Jon Bernthal to play The Punisher is simply a masterstroke. His performance isn’t just compelling, it elevates everything around him. It made the first
One of the highest profile cases in the continuing uncovering of sexual abuse in Hollywood has been filmmaker and mega-producer Brett Ratner, who was the subject of an extensive LA Times report that included detailed claims from women alleging a pattern of abusive behaviour going back decades. Ratner and his home studio Warner Bros subsequently parted
There was very upsetting news from the Arrowverse over the weekend, as it was revealed that Andrew Kreisberg, showrunner on The Flash and executive producer on Supergirl, Arrow and Legends Of Tomorrow, has been suspended from his duties by The CW and Warner Bros due to allegations of sexual harassment. Variety reported on Friday that Kreisberg,
Netflix’s TV series based on Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s comic Umbrella Academy has found its first star: the excellent Ellen Page. Variety reports that the star of Juno, Hard Candy, Whip It and Inception will star as Vanya in the show, with the pilot written by The Exorcist’s Jeremy Slater. Steve Blackman, who’s worked on such
Few filmmakers have been as consistently fascinating and yet hard to define as Michael Almereyda. He’s dabbled in horror with the David Lynch-produced vampire movie Nadja and baffling Irish mummy film The Eternal, he’s updated Shakespeare with Ethan Hawke in Hamlet and Cymbeline and he’s brought the strangeness of real-life figures like Stanley Milgram to
The Shape Of Water stars Sally Hawkins, Doug Jones, Michael Shannon, Octavia Spencer, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg, Nick Searcy, Lauren Lee Smith, David Hewlett and John Kapelos. Read the synopsis for The Shape Of Water here: An other-worldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1963. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where
Rian Johnson maybe not be helming Star Wars: Episode 9 that honour is going to JJ Abrams), but he’s not leaving the universe forever. It sounds as though Disney liked the director’s work on upcoming instalment The Last Jedi so much that it’s giving Johnson his own Star Wars trilogy to play around with. His longtime producer Ram Bergman will also
With Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape Of Water earning rave reviews around the world, it’s the perfect time to revisit one of the filmmaker’s early masterpieces: Spanish Civil War-set ghost story The Devil’s Backbone. Helpfully, there’s a beautiful new making of and art book from authors Matt Zoller Seitz and Simon Abrams, and we have
A new trailer has arrived for upcoming Canadian monster comedy Another Wolfcop, which sees Officer Lou Garou back for more gore, boozing and ice hockey. “Alcoholic werewolf cop Lou Garou springs into action when an eccentric businessman with evil intentions seduces Woodhaven’s residents with a new brewery and hockey team in this outrageous horror-comedy sequel.”
Originally published and released as part of the quarterly comics hamper ShortBox, Rosemary Valero-O’Connell’s What Is Left is a perfect example of the mini-comic format. Compact and expansive, full of feeling and imagination, the book wrings mystery and meaning out of an intriguing sci-fi premise. In an unspecified future, spaceships are powered by a Memory
A new poster has arrived for David Ayer’s upcoming Netflix movie Bright and, we have to be honest, this definitely feels like they’re playing it safe. The film, written by Max Landis, stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton as mismatched buddy cops, the latter of whom is an Orc. It’s set in a version of
Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has made no secret of his desire to make a Metal Gear Solid movie, and his planned adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s iconic videogame has taken another step towards becoming a reality. Variety reports that Jurassic World co-writer Derek Connolly has been brought on to pen the script. Connolly also worked on
Finally, some news about The Boys! Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke were reported to be working on a TV series based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s filthy, brutal and hilarious anti-superhero comic last year, and it looks like the future’s looking bright for kicking the shit out of misbehaving caped
It’s been a rough few months for Universal’s Dark Universe franchise. The Mummy, planned as a tentpole release and the beginning of a whole shared universe saga, disappointed at the box office and was reviled by critics. Then, Bill Condon’s Bride Of Frankenstein, which was in pre-production with Angelina Jolie being heavily rumoured for the
Dwayne Johnson has been attached to play Black Adam for so long that we kind of keep forgetting that it’s actually a thing he’s doing. However, a new rumour has surfaced that suggests that we might be seeing the character earlier than anticipated. The Wrap has fired a rumour into the internet that Johnson may in fact be

If you’re an American Tranformers fan, you’ve probably been digging Hasbro Studios and Machinima’s web series Transformers Titans Return. If you’re from anywhere else in the world, you likely haven’t been able to see it. Anyway, enjoy this new
Now that we’ve had IT: Part One, the big question is: who’ll be playing the grown-up versions of the Losers’ Club in the sequel? Jessica Chastain is one of the biggest “no-brainers” when it comes to our wishlist. She’s awesome, she’s worked with the Muschiettis before on Mama, and she’s got red hair (admittedly, the last
Wentworth Miller’s been part of the Arrowverse for a good long while now. He first appeared as Leonard Snart on The Flash back in 2014, then he was a series regular on the first season of Legends Of Tomorrow, and then he was given a deal that allowed the character to hop between series. However,

Bad news, everyone: Jack Black might not be returning to reprise his role of R. L. Stein in Goosebumps 2. If, like us, you were pleasantly surprised by how good the first Goosebumps film was, this news is a real blow. Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but we’re still biting our nails. The news comes after the announcement that Goosebumps
If you always thought that the Lord Of The Rings films could have done with being a little bit longer, you might be pleased to know that we could be getting the next best thing: a Lord Of The Rings TV series.

The first trailer has arrived for Starz’ upcoming series Counterpart, starring JK Simmons, and not only does it give us two performances from the amazing actor, it also looks like it could offer the alternate-dimensional mind-bending we’ve been missing since Fringe. Looks pretty good, right? Starz is so confident that they’ve made two seasons at once.
We’re huge fans of Jordan Peele, from his comedy work on Key And Peele and Keanu to his incredible directorial debut horror Get Out, so we’re very excited to hear that he’s working on a new version of The Twilight Zone. THR reports that Peele and CBS All Access are “readying a new take on the
Norwegian director Joachim Trier veers away from his dramatic arthouse roots with a supernatural horror about a young woman struggling with her repressed sexuality. His complex character work seen in his previous films such as Oslo, August 31st and Louder Than Bombs is still apparent and so too is the great care he takes in
Today we learned of the death of beloved director Paddy Russell. Born in 1928, Russell trained as an actress and worked as a stage manager before making the move to television. She worked as a production assistant for director Rudolph Cartier on Nigel Kneale’s adaptation of Orwell’s 1984 starring Peter Cushing, and his groundbreaking Quatermass
Seth MacFarlane’s new sci-fi comedy show The Orville hasn’t started airing in the UK yet, but it looks like at least several people in the US are enjoying it: Fox has gone ahead and given the series a Season 2. The news comes just seven episodes into the 13-episode first season, so it must be doing something right.
