Little Women Remixed: So Many Beginnings & the Potential of Adaptation

New DVD releaseadaptation, beginnings, little, potential, remixed, women

Little Women, Louisa May Alcott’s semi-autobiographical 19th century novel about four sisters growing up in Civil War-era New England has become one of the most-adapted American classics. But few retellings have done as much with the potential of adaptation as Bethany C. Morrow’s. In novel So Many Beginnings, out on September 7th, Morrow answers a question many readers have had over the years: What if Little Women was written from the African American perspective? The answer is a rich narrative of growing up in challenging times with the promise of a better future ahead that still speaks to what generations…

New DVD releasepotential, ragnarok

While the recent confirmation that God of War: Ragnarok won’t be released until at least 2022 shouldn’t surprise anybody, the news that the PlayStation Studios team may release the game for both PS4 and PS5 has come as quite a shock to those who expected the much-anticipated sequel to be one of Sony’s biggest next-gen system sellers. “You can’t build a community of over 110 million PS4 owners and then just walk away from it, right? I think that’d be bad news for fans of PS4, and frankly not very good business,” said the Head of PlayStation Studios, Hermen Hulst,…

New DVD releasefirefly, funhouse, match, potential, return

For the first in a long time, there was no John Cena at Wrestlemania. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and his busy schedule filming the Peacemaker series for HBO Max, Cena was unable to partake in the WWE’s Showcase of the Immortals, sitting out Wrestlemania 37. Cena has appeared in 15 Wrestlemania matches, headlining the show five times and squaring off against legendary superstars like Shawn Michales, Triple H, Batista, The Undertaker, and The Rock. However, Cena’s last appearance on the Grandest Stage of Them All may have just been his very best. The COVID-19 pandemic caused 2020’s Wrestlemania 36 to…

How Black Mirror Embraced Its Horror Potential with Playtest

Netflix, New DVD releaseblack, embraced, horror, mirror, playtest, potential

Monster specialist Grant Walker of award-winning VFX studio Framestore was excited when he received an offer to work on an episode of sci-fi anthology Black Mirror’s third season. But the nature of the job, for an episode called “Playtest”, proved to be an unexpected one. “I thought: ‘they want to make monsters for Black Mirror? I don’t get it,’” Walker says. Through two seasons and six episodes on Channel 4, the monsters of Black Mirror were largely metaphorical and unseen, signals and dispatches from mobile devices in a dubiously fictional world. Then the show was picked up by Netflix, which…

Doctor Who: How Will the Audio Series Mine the Potential of the Eccleston Era?

New DVD releaseaudio, doctor, eccleston, potential, series

The fact that Christopher Eccleston is doing more Doctor Who for Big Finish productions, is exciting stuff. Considering Eccleston had a mixed time on Doctor Who – loving the character and the response of the younger audience especially, but playing the part while ill and disagreeing with the production team – it is also unexpected. Having appeared at a few conventions and bumping into some of his successors recently, Eccleston seems more at peace with his legacy. It was a difficult time for him personally, but what an impact he has had on Doctor Who. As mentioned here, casting an…

New Mutants: Plans for Potential Trilogy Revealed

New DVD releasemutants, plans, potential, revealed, trilogy

Despite being named after one X-Men spinoff team, the New Mutants movie is more like an x-factor. We don’t know how it’s going to be (despite the insistence that it’s coming at the end of August). We don’t know when it’s actually going to get released. We don’t know what Marvel superhero reality it’s going to take place in. We aren’t 100% sure if it’s going to be in theaters at all or just get thrown onto Disney+ or Hulu. We don’t even know if its potential success will even matter due to the bizarre nature of its existence. On…

The Wrath of Khan Producer Hints at New Potential Star Trek Movie

New DVD releasehints, movie, potential, producer, wrath

Den of Geek recently had the opportunity to speak at length with Robert Sallin, producer of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982). The film is Sallin’s sole feature film production credit, but it’s a huge one, as the picture — which pitted Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise against their old nemesis Khan and ended with the death of Mr. Spock — is still held as the gold standard of Star Trek movies. Hired by executive producer Harve Bennett — who in turn was recruited by Paramount to save the franchise after 1979’s Star Trek: The…
