How a Batman 1989 Deleted Scene Cost Sean Young the Co-Starring Role

New DVD release, , , ,
1989’s Batman is widely regarded as a time-tested, transformative entry for the comic book movie genre, and its $411.5 million worldwide gross ($872.8 million adjusted for inflation) certainly shook an unsuspecting film industry to its core. However, for actress Sean Young, who was initially set to co-star in the film as Vicki Vale opposite Michael Keaton’s Caped Crusader, it represents a point in which misfortune pulled her away from a prospective mainstream breakthrough. Not only did a pre-production accident force her off the film, but the scene for which she was preparing ended up getting cut from the movie! Director…

Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role as Nick Fury for a new Disney+ Marvel TV series according to Variety. No details are currently available other than the fact that he’ll the popular MCU super spy is indeed the headliner of the show and that Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot) will write and executive produce the series.

Tesla Trailer Teases Subversive Biopic Starring Ethan Hawke

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Ethan Hawke headlines the biopic, Tesla, having transformed himself—mustache and all—into the once-overlooked, retroactively-revered early 20th century inventor, Nikola Tesla. The indie offering, directed and written by Michael Almereyda (Marjorie Prime, Experimenter), premiered this past January at the Sundance Film Festival, and will make its general release via IFC Films. Tesla might initially seem like a historical biopic that’s quickly revisiting a topical well, focused on the electrical engineering achievements of Tesla (who’s been portrayed in myriad film and television stints,) in his famous involvement in the electricity rivalry between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. After all, an impressively-cast movie…

Netflix Lands Enola Holmes Movie Starring Millie Bobby Brown

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Netflix is keeping Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown in its streaming stable for a new kind of starring vehicle in Enola Holmes. An adaptation of the Edgar Award-nominated young adult novel series of author Nancy Springer, the film will see the teen actress trading all things psychokinetic and Eggos for sleuthing in Victorian England, bearing a surname that obviously carries significant weight in the detective trade. The streaming giant has acquired the global rights (sans China,) to Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries novels from Legendary Entertainment. The film, which adapts the first book, The Case of the Missing Marquess…

Why Bloodshot is Vin Diesel’s First Starring Superhero Role

New DVD release, , , ,
With a number of successful film series on his resume – the Fast and Furious movies, the Riddick trilogy and even a couple of xXx entries — Vin Diesel is practically a franchise unto himself. Yet, his voice work as Groot in four Marvel Cinematic Universe movies aside, Diesel has somewhat surprisingly never played a lead superhero in a movie ripped right out of the pages of a comic book. Until now. Diesel stars in Bloodshot, an action thriller based on the Valiant Comics title about a technologically enhanced super soldier who struggles to remember his past life and keep…

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Johnny and Friends

Max SchindlerNew DVD release, , , , ,
Like The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series (6 DVD Set Collector's Edition), previously reviewed right here, Time-Life's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Johnny and Friends is a remarkable set of complete Tonight Show episodes from the Nineteen Seventies-‘90s, rather than a clip display of highlights, so entire in reality that these 28 full shows consist of all of the unique (community) commercials, that are sometimes captivating all by means of themselves. It's every other fantastic, nicely selected set, and although I've barely cracked its monstrous content material, I'm having a grand vintage time watching these shows.…

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series (6 DVD Set)

Max SchindlerNew DVD release, , , , ,
DVD Talk Collector Series We have no idea why Time-Life chose to send us a screener of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series (6 DVD Set Collector's Edition). It appears to be a very slight repackaging of a set they released three years ago, but this reviewer is nonetheless more than happy to sing its praises. After Carson left the program in 1992, excerpts have turned up on places like YouTube, and there have been DVD clip show releases. This, however, is altogether different, a boxed set of 12 complete shows (along with some bonus clips) running…
