Zack Snyder Confirms Watchmen’s Batman Connection

New DVD releasebatman, confirms, connection, snyder, watchmen

Zack Snyder’s name remains prominently connected to the controversial topic of his recent lengthy redux of Justice League and its preceding DC Comics movies. However, the director took his first key genre step toward establishing that connection in 2009 with Watchmen, a DC comic-adapting movie that, despite its disconnect from the main DC Universe, bore a Batman-referencing scene that has long been the center of speculation. Interestingly enough, Snyder has just confirmed the premise of said speculation. In the process of promoting his recently-premiered Netflix gore-fest, Army of the Dead, Snyder takes viewers to “Snyder School” in an analytical video…

Shazam 2: Mark Strong’s Dr. Sivana Isn’t in the Movie, Confirms the Actor

New DVD releaseactor, confirms, movie, shazam, sivana, strong

When we last saw Shazam’s arch-nemesis Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong) during a mid-credits sequence at the end of 2019’s Shazam!, the mad scientist and Seven Deadly Sins host had been defeated by the title hero and was firmly ensconced at Rock Falls Penitentiary. It was in his cell that he was approached by the super-intelligent alien centipede — and fellow Shazam super-villain — Mister Mind, who offered to form an alliance with Sivana and promised that the Seven Realms would be theirs for the taking. While the sequel, now titled Shazam! Fury of the Gods, has been steadily ramping…

WB Confirms ‘No Ayer Cut’ of Suicide Squad After Justice League

New DVD releaseafter, confirms, justice, league, squad, suicide

A few months ago, we learned that Warner Bros. executives considered Zack Snyder’s Justice League to be a cul-de-sac. Which is to say, it’s a road to nowhere that will leave the DC Extended Universe exactly where it started. That opinion apparently is shared throughout WarnerMedia despite the apparent success of the newly released Snyder Cut. In fact, WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff is ready to stop now any possible rumors about director David Ayer getting to oversee his own cut of 2016’s Suicide Squad. “We won’t be developing David Ayer’s cut,” Sarnoff said flatly and directly when Variety broached the…

The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that Homelander’s son Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) is way more powerful than he is, which could ultimately lead to a showdown between father and son if Homelander gets too out of control, and goes some way to explain why Vought International have been so invested in keeping him safe. In a new interview with TV Guide, Kripke has been shedding some light on the current status of The Boys‘ central characters as the team behind the Amazon series get ready to film its third season. Once again, he reiterated that Homelander’s villainous Nazi girlfriend,…

Prison Break Season 6 Unlikely as Star Confirms Reasons for Leaving Show

New DVD releasebreak, confirms, leaving, prison, reasons, season, unlikely

Prison Break star Wentworth Miller has opened up about his decision to leave the popular drama series. In a new post on Instagram, the actor seemed confidently ‘done’ with playing straight characters, including his long running role as Prison Break’s Michael Scofield. Miller previously came out as gay back in August 2013 after penning a letter on GLAAD’s website about how “deeply troubled” he was by the Russian government’s treatment of LGBT citizens. Miller played the role of Scofield over five seasons on Fox from 2006 to 2017, which included a later revival. The show’s original set-up had his character…

Mindhunter is Likely Done at Netflix, David Fincher Confirms

Netflix, New DVD releaseconfirms, david, fincher, likely, mindhunter, netflix

All signs pointed to true crime drama Mindhunter being donezo at Netflix. The second season came and went last August with nary a world about a third season. Then Netflix went ahead and confirmed that the show was in a holding (not Holden) pattern with all the actors released from their contracts. Now, the most authoritative source of them all, director David Fincer, has confirmed what we pretty much already knew. There will be no more seasons of Mindhunter, at least not for the foreseeable future.  In an interview with Vulture to promote Fincher’s upcoming film Mank, the director broke…

Cobra Kai Season 4 has been officially ordered by Netflix! However, before we get ahead of ourselves on that front, there’s more immediate news to cover here, namely the just-dropped release date for Season 3.   Netflix has revealed that Cobra Kai Season 3 will premiere on the platform on January 8, 2021.

Tenet Will Be Theatrical Release But Other WB Movies May Not, CEO Confirms

Tenet will be released in theaters. Eventually. While hardly shocking news, there had been some speculation this week after Christopher Nolan’s Tenet abandoned its Aug. 12 release date (the third it’s had scheduled) over just what Warner Bros. has planned for the time-bending epic. But though WB’s previous announcement that the film would not enjoy a “traditional global day-and-date release” confirms the studio is intending to stagger its release around the world, AT&T CEO John Stankey is now making it clear that Tenet will have only a theatrical release… even if other delayed WB films may not. The news comes…

You can’t ever keep a good Deadite down for long. Bad ones too, we imagine. And they’re all so wickedly bad in the indestructibly groovy Evil Dead franchise. Hence just two years after Bruce Campbell hung up the chainsaw for good, he’s confirming that the movie franchise will nevertheless live on. While speaking with Empire, Campbell revealed the next Evil Dead movie is in active development with Lee Cronin, who directed A24’s The Hole in the Ground horror movie, taking over directorial duties. “We’re just getting off the phone with Lee Cronin, who is writing and directing the next Evil…

This article contains spoilers for 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home J.K. Simmons has revealed that he’s signed up to star in further Marvel-Sony Spider-Man movies as J. Jonah Jameson. The Oscar-winning actor famously reprised his role from Sam Raimi’s web-slinging trilogy in last summer’s MCU instalment, Spider-Man: Far From Home – albeit in a twisted new way, leaving hard copy behind and outing Peter Parker as Spider-Man on a live dailybugle.net stream during a mid-credits scene. Likely due to a combination of iron-clad NDAs and uncertainly around the current industry timeline, Simmons says that both he and fans of the…

Furiosa is set for a grandiose solo return to the big screen… just not Charlize Theron’s portrayal of the post-apocalyptic warrior woman who stole the show in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, according to franchise mastermind George Miller. In a bit of news that essentially verifies what previous reports have come to accept, Miller, in an interview with The New York Times, confirms that his mooted prequel movie centered on Fury Road standout character Furiosa is in the works, having settled a highly-publicized legal dispute with Warner Bros. However, said sequel will not see a role reprisal by Theron. Thus,…

The Scream franchise’s leading lady has revealed that she’s hoping to return for the fifth instalment. The new ‘reboot’ was announced in March, with THR noting that Ready or Not directors Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett were attached to the project. Campbell has inhabited the lead role of Sidney Prescott in all four of the late Wes Craven‘s Scream movies. The original 1996 movie saw the character hunted by a masked figure – Ghostface – as she dealt with lingering family trauma in a high school setting that she was increasingly out of touch with, and in 2011, it looked…

In an alternate reality, MGM and Orion’s Valley Girl remake would have (maybe?) set hearts and theaters ablaze in June with its romantic, musical tale of new love discovered on the wrong side of town, but in this one, they’ve had to settle for a VOD release in the midst of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has forced cinema chains around world to shut up shop. Consequently, Valley Girl‘s debut has now moved up a month to May, and a first trailer has arrived online to publicize the shift in plans.
