Hunters Season 2 Confirmed by Amazon

Hunters Season 2 is set to continue the titular team’s Nazi-wasting ways. Amazon Studios officially made the order for a second season of the campy, alt-universe, ultraviolent crime thriller series, Hunters, stopping short of setting any production or Amazon Prime Video release windows, obviously due to the intrinsic uncertainty of the COVID era. However, the second season renewal announcement was posted with an accompanying teaser trailer bearing the era-appropriate imagery of a spinning Season 2 logo-brandishing vinyl record before building to the opening bass line of a show-familiar tune in Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer.” *record scratch* *freeze frame*You heard it…

He comes equipped with his trademark bow and various arrows that will allow him to effectively deal with different kinds of enemies. What’s especially interesting is how Hawkeye will be implemented in the game. Once you’ve…

There’s never a bad time for a trip to the Outer Banks. Thankfully Netflix agrees.  The streamer announced today that it has renewed its teen-oriented drama Outer Banks for season 2. The announcement came along with a nifty new poster.  “OBX” is, of course, a popular tourist nickname for Outer Banks, North Carolina. “2” is, of course, an Arabic numeral indicating that there are two of something.

It’s almost time to go another round with one of the most stubborn men in comics. Spawn creator and Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane is the subject of an incoming documentary called Todd McFarlane: Like Hell I Won’t, which is set to chronicle his decades-long career and abject refusal to hand over creative control, even as he takes hit after hit fighting the spoken and unspoken rules of several industries, and peppering his life with some occasionally debilitating litigation.

Dune Reshoots Confirmed by Rebecca Ferguson

Dune’s desert planet of Arrakis will soon resume its sandy cinematic spice wars. That’s because director Denis Villeneuve’s packed-cast remake movie of author Frank Herbert’s novel will once again roll cameras in Budapest, Hungary for reshoots; a notion that was reported back in June, but has just been confirmed. Rebecca Ferguson, who plays Lady Jessica in the film (the role played by Francesca Annis in director David Lynch’s 1984 version), has put the stamp of veracity on the reshoots, revealing that they are officially returning to Budapest, set to pick up additional shots. It’s a practice that is hardly out…

This 2,646 piece set will allow you to construct both a replica of the NES and a retro tube television that displays a Lego version of Super Mario Bros.

Batman Forever Confirmed to Have a Darker Extended Cut

Batman Forever has surprisingly entered the extended cut conversation recently fueled by HBO Max’s upcoming release of director Zack Snyder’s originally-envisioned version of 2017’s Justice League, a.k.a. The Snyder Cut. Yet, while the theatrical version of the 1995 third film in the Batman film series—unlike Justice League—did reflect the vision of its director, the recently-departed Joel Schumacher, it seems that a darker and much (much) longer version exists. Citing a source close to the movie, Variety has confirmed the existence of a mega-sized 170-minute cut of Schumacher’s Batman Forever, which starkly contrasts with the standard theatrical version we all know,…

Dead to Me Season 3 Confirmed

In a world craving consistency it’s nice to know that some things will never change. That’s right: Netflix has gone “three and out” with another one of its original series.

Dead to Me season 3 won’t mark the conclusion of Netflix’s relationship with creator and showrunner Liz Feldman, however. As part of the announcement, the streamer revealed that it has formed a multi-year partnership with Feldman to develop original series and other projects.  “Liz Feldman is…

But the other piece of this news may not land as well for fans of the DC Universe streaming service, as the show will leave DC Universe to air exclusively on the CW beginning with its second season. Under the current model, new episodes of Stargirl premiere on DC Universe on Mondays before airing (in lightly edited form) on The CW on Tuesday nights. Variety reports that Stargirl’s ratings on Tuesday nights are consistent…

Chicken Run 2 Confirmed at Netflix

Though Aaardman’s Chicken Run remains history’s highest-grossing stop-motion animation film, it’s managed to go two decades without producing a sequel. One was originally announced back in April of 2018, but it’s been all quiet on the Chicken Run 2 front since then. Today, that changed with confirmation that Netflix has acquired the sequel’s rights from Studiocanal and Pathé.

Scream 5: David Arquette Confirmed to Return

Spyglass Media Group, the company that acquired the Scream IP from its brand-tainted original home of The Weinstein Company, has officially announced Arquette’s return for his classic film franchise role of Dewey. The casting will continue a tradition that goes back to 1996’s original Scream, in which the character debuted as a boyish, diffident deputy during the initial Ghostface killings in the film’s small-town setting of Woodsboro, California, evolving over the…
