Endeavour Series 8 Promises 1971 Football Glitz, an IRA Threat and Morse Battling Inner Demons

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Morse’s plan to transfer to another force has either been scrapped or put on the back burner in series eight, which finds the detective in Oxford and the Castle Gate team tackling “the most challenging of cases so far,” according to the official press release. The three-part new series picks up at the start of 1971, just after series seven’s dramatic conclusion which saw Morse’s latest doomed lover take a bullet for him and die in his arms. He certainly can pick ‘em. The loss of the scheming Violetta Talenti, and the bad blood between Morse and Thursday have taken…

Thor: Love and Thunder – Chris Hemsworth Promises “Crazy Off the Wall” Movie With New Set Photo

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Well, this might just be the final Thor: Love and Thunder set photo story we publish. Not because you, our readers, haven’t devoured these and clamored for them every time we published ’em, but because there simply won’t be any more set photos to report. You see, folks, Thor: Love and Thunder has wrapped filming. “That’s a wrap on Thor Love and Thunder,” Hemsworth wrote on Instagram. “It’s also national don’t flex day so I thought this super relaxed photo was appropriate.

The Green Knight Trailer Promises Return to Wonderful Weirdness of Arthurian Legend

New DVD release, , , , , ,
There will always be King Arthur movies, just like there will always be big screen riffs on Robin Hood. Characters with such mythic pedigree—and so readily available in the public domain—make this almost a given. Nevertheless, the King Arthur movies of the last few decades have left something to be desired, no? Whether it’s Antoine Fuqua and Disney’s questionable choice to produce a King Arthur movie without any of the actual magic or fantasy that made those legends enduring, or Guy Ritchie’s bizarre attempt to turn Arthurian archetypes into another boys-will-be-boys gangster movie—but now with medieval chainmail!—Hollywood has lately tried…

Thundercats Movie Director Promises “The ‘80s Cartoon Brought to Life”

New DVD release, , , , ,
Thundercats are on the mov(i)e! After years of false starts and announcements that didn’t go anywhere, it seems that the beloved ‘80s cartoon has a giant sized champion behind it. Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla vs. Kong, is working on a Thundercats film that will be a hybrid live action/CGI movie. Wingard will direct the Thundercats movie and co-write the script with Simon Barrett. This raises a lot of questions about the film, especially considering the recent flux in Thundercats media. The original Thundercats was about as perfect an example of ‘80s action adventure cartoon series can be and the early…

Jupiter’s Legacy Teaser Promises Vengeance

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
Back in 2017, Netflix acquired the rights to Scottish comic writer Mark Millar’s Millarworld imprint.

Well, that will all change soon! Netflix has finally unveiled the first fruit of their Millarworld collaboration in the form of a release date and teaser for Jupiter’s Legacy. Jupiter’s Legacy is a Millar superhero comic from 2013. This adaptation will arrive on Netflix on May 7, 2021. Check out the first teaser below.  While…

Godzilla vs. Kong Trailer Promises Epic Final Battle, Hints at Larger History

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s the championship bout that we’ve all been waiting for…and apparently it’s happened before. No, we’re not talking about 1962’s Toho classic King Kong vs. Godzilla, which brought the big ape from Skull Island and the nuclear-powered dinosaur from the Sea of Japan into conflict for the first time onscreen. But as we find out in the first trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong — the fourth entry in the modern-day series of films known as the “Monsterverse” — these two gigantic icons of monster mythology have possibly met before…in the distant past. “The myths are real,” says Rebecca Hall, one…

New DVD release, , , ,

A new script is being penned by James Mangold (Logan), who has also been tapped to succeed Steven Spielberg in the director’s chair for Indiana Jones 5, Den of Geek had a chance to speak with producer Frank Marshall about the current state of development on the movie, starting with the screenplay, Ford’s status (he’s now edging toward…

Justice League: Zack Snyder Promises “A Solid Two and a Half Hours of Unseen Footage”

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Zack Snyder is almost finished editing what fans have devoutly named Justice League: The Snyder Cut. And he wants his devotees to know they have barely scratched the surface of the slow-motion glories he’s envisioned for the superhero epic. Speaking on Vero, Snyder’s social media platform of choice, the filmmaker said, “I’m excited for you guys to see the giant amount of movie that you have coming your way in 2021 on HBO Max. Don’t forget that it is probably a solid two and a half hours of unseen footage in this movie, I would imagine. Something like that. So…

Jason Blum Promises “Faithful” New Adaptation Of Stephen King’s Firestarter

New DVD release, , , , ,
Following the news that Zac Efron had been cast in Blumhouse Films’ new adaptation of the 1980 Stephen King novel Firestarter, we had a chance to speak with Blumhouse president Jason Blum about what to expect from the latest addition to the King cinematic canon. “It’s a relatively faithful version of the book,” says Blum, who is doing press this week for the upcoming Welcome to the Blumhouse series of genre movies. “We’re going to shoot it next year. I’ve got several things going with Stephen King, and he’s the ultimate icon to those of us like you and people…

The Craft: Legacy Trailer Promises Blumhouse Fun and Release Date

New DVD release, , , , ,
For alternative kids of a certain age, 1996’s The Craft was more than a touchstone horror movie; it was an aspirational tale of independence. Maybe even more than the original’s director Andrew Fleming and writer Peter Filardi fully realized, a movie about four female friends using their witching powers to rise above (or is that levitate over?) the rigors of high school life and literally walk on water was intoxicating to Gen-Xers and older millennials who liked to paint it black. It appears that the quite on-the-nose legacy sequel of The Craft: Legacy is picking up on those witchy vibes…

Xbox Series X May Be Sold Out After Pre-orders But Microsoft Promises More Stock at Launch

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It seems like only yesterday that we were ruminating on what went wrong with PS5 pre-orders, and here we are again. The Xbox Series X and Series S pre-orders didn’t quite go as planned for Microsoft, even after suggesting things would go much more smoothly than they did for Sony. The sudden rush of customers to retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop led to sites crashing and many people being left without a pre-order as stores sold out of the next-gen consoles within minutes. Target wouldn’t let some people actually add a console to their carts. Even The…

Rebecca Remake Trailer Promises Haunting Thriller

New DVD release, , , , ,
Every romance has a beginning, and every romance has an end… sometimes the story of each can be a killer. Such are the intimations at the heart of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, which is being handsomely brought back to the screen by director Ben Wheatley in a new Netflix production. With Lily James and Armie Hammer stepping into the roles of a newlywed couple with more secrets than kisses, and Kristin Scott Thomas taking on the role of the most menacing housekeeper eveer, there is a lot to take in with the film’s first trailer. Based on the 1938 Gothic…

Aquaman 2: James Wan Promises More Serious Tone, New Worlds

New DVD release, , , ,
The sequel always has to go darker, right? After a new hope, the empire needs to strike back. It’s true from The Temple of Doom scaring the PG out of Raiders of the Lost Ark to The Dark Knight snuffing the ray of hope presented in Batman Begins. And it appears to be true in some form with Aquaman 2, judging by what director James Wan teased at DC FanDome. Speaking at a panel that consisted of Wan and frequent collaborator Patrick Wilson chatting among themselves, the pair traded little scraps of on-set memories before teasing what to expect from…

MacGruber Teaser Promises Greatness in 2021

New DVD release, , ,
During the height of the Hellenistic period, poets and travelers wrote of the Seven Wonders of the World, works of human achievement and craft so immense that they astonished all tourists who beheld their gaze. However, it would be thousands of years before the list was completed—for that’s how many millennia passed before Will Forte’s MacGruber walked the earth. Sure, the pyramids are nice and all, but when MacGruber is the Eighth Wonder of the World, who needs the Pyramids and other seven? Such self-evident greatness is visible in the new teaser trailer for MacGruber, a television series from Peacock…

Judas and the Black Messiah Trailer Promises Revolution

New DVD release, , , , ,
During the late 1960s, Fred Hampton was one of the biggest voices in the American Black Panther Party where he preached revolutionary socialism and founded the Rainbow Coalition. He was also shot repeatedly in the head at point blank range by members of the Chicago Police Department in 1969. In 2021, director Shaka King looks to tell Hampton’s story, and that of the man who betrayed him, in visceral detail. That at least appears to be the compelling setup of Judas and the Black Messiah, a new film which just dropped the riveting trailer below. As a film produced by…

J.K. Simmons Promises More J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man and MCU Movies

New DVD release, , , , ,
Arguably more than any actor who’s donned a pair of superhero tights, J.K. Simmons has provided the most irreplaceable performance in a comic book movie. Even Marvel Studios—which made no qualms about rebooting Spider-Man for the second time in less than five years—seemed to concede this point when they cast J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Appearing balder than how he looked in the Sam Raimi directed Spider-Man movies from the 2000s, but still with the same miniature mustache, Simmons enjoyed the best end credits teaser since Samuel L. Jackson showed up sporting an eyepatch…

Train to Busan: Peninsula Trailer Promises Apocalyptic Mayhem

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When Train to Busan premiered at the Cannes Film Festival as part of its midnight selection, it delighted and surprised as a South Korean zombie movie that kept things kinetic yet simultaneously claustrophobic on a train. The movie went on to be a darling among aficionados of action and chiller hybrids. Let’s just say its anticipated sequel, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, is aiming to broaden the scope a bit. Set four years later and in a post-apocalyptic hellscape where all of South Korea has been abandoned as a wasteland for the walking dead, Peninsula has turned a whole nation…
