Space Sweepers and the History of Working Class People In Space

Netflix, New DVD releaseclass, history, people, space, sweepers, working

This week saw the release of Space Sweepers, Korea’s first big budget special effects space movie extravaganza. There are a lot of interesting things to say about this movie, but one of the things that makes it stand out is it’s an excellent portrayal of people in space who are skint. See, I hate to break it to you, but you’re probably never going into space. Unless you’re a highly trained technical specialist (well done!) or a billionaire (pay your taxes!), your best shot at seeing Earth from space within your lifetime is the development of realistic-yet-cheap VR headsets. And…

Ben Affleck Talks Working Again with Matt Damon in The Last Duel

New DVD releaseaffleck, again, damon, talks, working

The movie industry has changed a lot since Ben Affleck and Matt Damon first conquered it in 1997. Once two hungry actors who’d done a lot of supporting work up to that point, the pair became overnight stars and Hollywood golden boys thanks in large part to co-writing and co-starring in Good Will Hunting. It netted each an Oscar for screenwriting. The memories of those early breaks reemerged in a recent awards screening Q&A that Damon moderated with Affleck for the latter’s new film The Way Back. Clearly a personal passion project for Affleck, the sports drama about a high…

New DVD releaseworking

It’s always difficult to bid farewell to a beloved television ensemble, but especially so for the cast of The CW’s The 100. Many viewers have literally grown up alongside these characters, who started as juvenile delinquents and ended as adults who had lived several lifetimes. Even for older viewers, the characters and the actors behind them have become much beloved. In this case, we can happily say until we meet again, as many cast members have already lined up new projects. Some are jumping immediately into new TV series, while others are exploring film franchises. At least one actor who…

WWE: More Violent Approach is Working

New DVD releaseapproach, violent, working

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. That’s what WWE writers need to keep reminding themselves. The downward trend in WWE’s ratings and viewership have continued over the span of two decades, and the audience isn’t going to be built back up overnight. Let’s be honest, the days of six million people watching wrestling on a Monday night are long gone, and they’re never coming back. Television viewing habits and media options have changed to the point that no one, ever, is going to see those numbers for pro wrestling in our lifetimes. But despite the results not really showing in…

Happy Death Day 3 may be sidetracked by the pandemic, but director Christopher Landon is making it abundantly clear that it’s still on his docket, and he’s itching to get back to work. Thusly, Landon has revealed the film’s actual working title, its current status and a potentially game-changing plot detail. Happy Death Day to Us is the working title for the threequel, as returning franchise-spanning director Landon reveals in an interview with Empire. The film franchise, a horror genre hybrid of sorts that puts an irreverent self-parodying spin on the Groundhog Day-esque concept of time-looping, became a surprise hit…

In an interview with the MinnMaxShow, producer Zach Mumbach reveals new details about Amy Henning’s “Ragtag” Star Wars project and laments the project’s controversial cancellation. We had this leadership team come in from Vancouver… and not knocking them, they were in the same position I was in Army of Two. They were like ‘we need to ship this thing, let’s go, cut this, cut this, cut this’,” Mumbach says. “And I’m thinking, this is effing Amy Hennig, we have the chance to make the greatest Star Wars game ever made and a possible Game of the Year contender. This isn’t…

In a recent blog post, Remedy hinted that their next project could help further the idea of a shared universe in their video games. “For over 10 years, we’ve had a crazy dream,” says Sam Lake, Remedy’s creative director. “The idea that the tales told in some of our games would be connected to each other, a connected world of stories and events with shared characters and lore. Each game is a stand-alone experience, but each game is also a doorway into a larger universe with exciting opportunities for crossover events.” Obviously, that statement could be interpreted as a bit…

Famed horror mangaka Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Gyo, Tomie) made headlines during last weekend’s Comic-Con@Home for saying that Hideo Kojima had reached out to work on a new horror game together, but the artist has now walked back his statement, downplaying his meeting with the video game auteur. While Ito’s initial remarks made it sound like the mangaka and Kojima had a formal meeting about working together, the artist says it was much more casual than that. “I said casually that I received an offer from Mr. Kojima, but in reality, it was a remark made at a party where he…
