Could HBO’s Rome Movie Still Happen?

New DVD releasecould, happen, movie, still

HBO’s Rome ran for only 22 episodes. Divided over two seasons, the show premiered in 2005 and concluded in 2007. Yet despite its brevity, the original HBO epic left an indelible legacy—and some unfinished business. Reports of a possible Rome movie continuing the narrative of the series sprung up shortly after its finale aired in March 2007. By itself that episode seemed to offer plenty of finality, with the character of Octavian (Simon Woods) assuming the title of “First Citizen of Rome” (emperor), and Atia (Polly Walker) taking pride in her son’s triumph, even as she quietly mourned the death…

Mortal Kombat 11 Klassic Skin Pack Proves the Movie Still Rules

New DVD releaseklassic, kombat, mortal, movie, proves, rules, still

One of Mortal Kombat 11’s initial creative blunders ended up being one of its greater strengths in the long run. As a bit of stunt casting, NetherRealm decided to replace Mortal Kombat X’s Tricia Helfer with MMA and WWE star Ronda Rousey as the voice of series mainstay Sonya Blade. Considering the excess of dialogue in the game’s story mode and countless pre-fight exchanges, Rousey’s questionable delivery turned a lot of people off on the character. It’s no wonder the studio didn’t bother giving Sonya any lines when Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath added a second story mode campaign. Belgian DJ…

In Star Trek: Discovery’s New Future, Franchise History Still Matters

New DVD releasediscovery, franchise, future, history, matters, still

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for “Forget Me Not.” For back-to-back Star Trek projects, director Hanelle Culpepper has been given scripts that require filming on recreated versions of Trek sets that were last seen in the 1990s, more than 20 years ago. First, Culpepper filmed the Picard premiere’s opening scene on The Next Generation‘s iconic Ten Forward. And, now, in Discovery Season 3, Culpepper got the chance to shoot in the Trill Caves of Mak’ala, first and last seen on Deep Space Nine. Interestingly, in both Culpepper’s Picard episode “Remembrance” and in Discovery’s “Forget Me Not,” memories, dreams,…

Dog Soldiers 2 Could Still Happen, New Details Revealed

New DVD releasecould, details, happen, revealed, soldiers, still

Dog Soldiers is one of the most beloved werewolf movies of all time, and perhaps the only truly classic example of that particular horror subgenre produced this century. But despite a cult following, some subtle worldbuilding, and a raucous ending (punctuated by a fun detail revealed as the credits roll), 18 years later, there’s still no sign of a sequel. But that might be about to change. Neil Marshall and Kevin McKidd have had conversations about bringing Dog Soldiers 2 to life, and Sean Pertwee has revealed details about what the other two films in the a proposed Dog Soldiers…

Michael Keaton appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week to talk about his work in The Trial of the Chicago 7 as well as plans for him to reprise his role as Batman in Andy Muschietti’s in-development The Flash movie. While Keaton declined to say much about donning the cape and cowl once again to mentor Ezra Miller’s young Barry Allen in the DCEU film — beyond confirming that he’s “having discussions” with Warner Bros. — he did sound off on another very important topic. Since The Flash is set to feature not just one Batman from the franchise’s…

During a Tokyo Game Show presentation, Capcom producer Tsuyoshi Kanda noted that the team is looking into a way to bring Resident Evil Village to current-gen consoles as well as next-gen platforms. “While Resident Evil Village is being developed specifically for next-generation consoles and PC, we’re looking into delivering the experience on Xbox One and PS4 as well,” Kanda says. “We’re looking into it, but we can’t make any promises. However, we will do our best in creating a top-tier survival horror experience on current generation consoles.” This news comes as quite a shock. Not only was Resident Evil 8…

The news that Xbox had purchased ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, and all of its properties shook the games industry this morning and seemed to completely change the next-gen landscape. The $7.5 billion purchase has not only increased the number of studios under Xbox’s banner to 23 but also given Microsoft ownership over some of the biggest game franchises ever created.  The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and the upcoming Starfield — they all belong to Xbox now. With the approaching release of the Xbox Series X and Series S and the start of another next-gen console war with Sony, the…

Why Dune is Still Timely in 2020

New DVD releasestill, timely

When Frank Herbert’s novel Dune was published in 1965, it was heralded for its deft blend of science fiction and non-scientific elements to tell a story that reflected on humanity’s ability (or lack thereof) to evolve, its relationship with its environment and the politics of how empires rise and fall. Some 55 years later, the themes of the book are even more relevant to the world today. We face shortages of water and literally exploding climate change. More and more power is steadily concentrated in the hands of the few, authoritarian governments and partisan hatred seem to be rising everywhere…

Madden 21’s The Yard Isn’t NFL Blitz But It’s Still Important for Arcade Football

New DVD releasearcade, blitz, football, important, madden, still

The Madden franchise and I go way back. I poured a lot of fifth-grade free time into Madden NFL 97 for the Super NES, and I can still hear that edition’s chiptune menu music in my head when I think about the series. But, I have to be honest. For all the Madden games I’ve owned over the years — give or take 15, by my count — I’d trade them all for a high-quality arcade-style football experience.  Quality is highly subjective when we’re talking about a video game. For you, quality arcade football might be EA Sports BIG’s NFL…

Wonder Woman 1984: Patty Jenkins Still Committed to Coming to Movie Theaters

There was a lot to enjoy during the Wonder Woman 1984 DC FanDome panel. While the event itself was nothing short of a lovefest between the talent and fans, it was genuinely exciting when Kristen Wiig got to virtually meet her childhood idol Lynda Carter during the festivities. And the new Wonder Woman 1984 trailer is a definite showstopper too, complete with the reveal of Wiig’s villainous Cheetah. And yet, perhaps the most compelling moment in the whole conversation occurred at the very top when director Patty Jenkins reconfirmed she is determined to see Wonder Woman 1984 open in movie…

UFC 4 Review: Best of the Series, But Still No Champion

New DVD releasechampion, review, series, still

Here’s a brief summation of my Career mode experience in EA Sports UFC 4 over the past week: My fictional fighter, Cullogan Ogle, began his career with a kickboxing background. He stormed through the amateur scene and first few professional fights in the UFC, tenderizing opponents’ thighs with a brutal array of leg kicks, lead leg side kicks, and nasty oblique kicks. But along the way, behind the scenes, Ogle spent much of his training camps working on grappling. He drilled armbars, kimuras, and d’Arce chokes, steadily leveling them up to become more effective. Ogle got so good at them,…

After all these years of Christopher Nolan bending time to his will in movie after movie, a Nolan film must now bend to the times instead. In news that hardly comes as a surprise, we can now confirm Tenet has been delayed in definitely from its Aug. 12 release date. The reluctant move by Warner Bros. comes after months of hand-wringing about the fate of Nolan’s original blockbuster event in which John David Washington appears to unravel a conspiracy involving a kind of time travel. The movie was originally slated to have already premiered on July 17, and proved to…

Three weeks after being banned from Twitch, Guy Beahm, who is better known as the uber-popular streamer Dr DisRespect, is finally speaking out about his suspension. Unfortunately, the reasons behind the Twitch ban, the most high-profile suspension of a streamer ever by the service, remain unknown. In his first interview since the ban, Beahm explained that he still doesn’t know why he was kicked off Twitch. “I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety,” Beahm told TheWashington Post. “You know, my wife and I both, this is our livelihood.

‘When somebody decides to call a character Brock Blennerhassett,’ says Michael Smiley, ‘you think, well, that hasn’t just come off the top of your head, there must be something going on there!’ What’s going on with Blennerhassett, his lead role in new darkly comic Victorian drama Dead Still, is strange, timely and layered, says Smiley. Dead Still, available in the UK now to stream on Acorn TV, is ‘a dark, funny, proper period drama set in Dublin in Victorian times’ Smiley explains. His character Blennerhassett is part of the Anglo-Irish landed gentry who’s broken away to work in the experimental…

Gladiator 2 Still a Priority for Ridley Scott

While speaking with Douglas Wick about Gladiator during its 20th anniversary, the producer said the first answer to any question should be having Ridley Scott in the meeting. Apparently that holds true for the long-gestating Gladiator 2 as well, which Wick confirmed is still very much alive. “Yes, we’re working on it, and we’ve just all vowed that we’ll only proceed if we get something great on paper,” Wick tells me about the possible sequel. “We’re too respectful of the first movie to ever do anything cynical.” The idea of a Gladiator 2 has been floating around since almost the…

Bride of Frankenstein Remake Still Happening at Universal

New DVD releasebride, frankenstein, happening, remake, still, universal

Bride of Frankenstein was long set for a major remake movie treatment from Universal as part of the “Dark Universe,” a continuity-unified Marvel-esque movie franchise for which the exorbitantly-produced Tom Cruise-headlined 2017 remake of The Mummy was designed as the kick off. Of course, that movie flopped spectacularly, derailing the Dark Universe plans, leaving Bride at the proverbial pre-production altar. However, said Bride remake may still have a chance to scream on the big screen. David Koepp, a veteran screenwriter who previously took a turn—as did several other scribes—on a rewrite of Universal’s Dark-Universe-intended Bride of Frankenstein script, divulged that…

The tale follows a young boy who has to go and live with his uncle after his father dies, and charts how he deals with spiritual growth, poverty, and the overall human experience.
