Why Black Lightning’s Jennifer Pierce Twist Works

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Black Lightning review contains major spoilers for Season 4. Jennifer Pierce flew into the ionosphere and absorbed so much energy, she exploded. This is how “The Book of Reconstruction: Chapter Four” ends, with particles that used to be Jen dispersing into space. For one week we sat with the possibility that Jen could be dead. And with China Anne McClain having announced an early departure, it didn’t seem out of the realm of possibility that Jen wouldn’t return in any form. But, in “The Book of Ruin: Chapter One,” Jefferson is able to absorb the particles that make up…

Henry Cavill Teases New Secret Project in the Works

New DVD release, , , , ,
Henry Cavill has set tongues wagging this week by giving his fans a blurry look at a potential “secret project” on the way. The Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League actor posted an intriguing image on his personal Instagram account that gave us a peek behind the scenes of The Witcher, which is currently gearing up to deliver its second season on Netflix, but made sure we caught a glimpse of what he was reading to pass the time. Cavill snapped a selfie in the mirror while hair and makeup fitted his Geralt of…

Yellowstone Prequel Y: 1883 in the Works at Paramount+

New DVD release, , ,
Yellowstone Caldera, the enormous crater in the center of Yellowstone National Park, was formed by a cataclysmic volcanic eruption 640,000 years ago. Suffice it to say, Yellowstone has a lot of history. For its next TV effort, ViacomCBS streaming service Paramount+ is going to capture a small slice of it…roughly 639,900 years after that eruption.  Paramount+ has ordered a Yellowstone prequel series from creator Taylor Sheridan called Y: 1883. As the date in the title suggests, the show will follow the Dutton family during the pioneer era as “they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the…

Star Trek: Picard Works Best as a Binge

New DVD release, ,
This Star Trek: Picard article contains spoilers for Season 1, and spoilers for Stranger Things Season 2. When Stranger Things Season 2 hit Netflix in 2017, I learned to hate the binge-model. Before I could catch my breath, I was already aware that it would take the entire season for Eleven to reunite with the boys, and I felt heartbroken. I didn’t mind the spoilers, I was just more frustrated that there wasn’t time to process all the twists and turns. From that point on (and maybe before) I rebelled, sometimes loudly, against the Netflix binge-model. For the most part,…

Supernatural Series Finale: Why Dean’s Fate Works

New DVD release, , ,
This Supernatural article contains MAJOR spoilers for the series finale. A lot of fans were hoping that Supernatural would end the way its penultimate episode ended, with Sam and Dean literally driving off into the sunset in the Impala, to new and unknown adventures. When it comes time to re-watch the series (a hefty undertaking, considering there are 15 seasons of it!) no doubt many will choose to stop there; the episode even has a series finale-style montage of moments from across its 15 years to go with that classic conclusion. But Supernatural didn’t end with “Inherit The Earth.” In…

An Introduction to the Works of Rebecca Roanhorse

New DVD release, , ,
Rebecca Roanhorse launched into high visibility in SFF with her short story “Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience” in 2017, and her works have continued to wow readers of all ages (she writes fiction for adults, middle grade, and young adults). Her prose is gorgeous, and she takes a hard right turn from more traditional, European-influenced fantasy in her epic new novel, Black Sun. Along with her original works, Roanhorse has also written several Star Wars stories, and is a contributor to Marvel’s new comic anthology Indigenous Voices. If you’re interested in the future of SFF, you can bet your…

Is Virtua Fighter 6 in the Works at Sega?

New DVD release, ,
The fighting game genre has been strong and saturated in the past few years. So many classics from the ’90s have been reintroduced to modern consoles that it’s easier to make a list of titles that haven’t been remastered, remade, repackaged, or updated in some way. Without counting Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, which have been absorbed into King of Fighters, then Darkstalkers, and Virtua Fighter remain the only two major fighting game franchises to not receive some kind of modern version. But now Sega says we might be getting something for Virtua Fighter. We’re not sure what it…

RoboCop TV Prequel Series in the Works at MGM

New DVD release, , ,
A RoboCop prequel focusing on the life of a young Dick Jones is in the works at MGM, according to MovieHole.  In a recent interview, original screenwriter Ed Neumeier had a special message for all the kids watching at home, and it wasn’t “stay out of trouble.” RoboCop is coming to TV. “I’m working at MGM on it,” Neumeier told MovieHole. “With any luck, if MGM is willing, if we can find the partners, if we can get this pilot made, if we can convince a bunch of people.” The spinoff TV show will feature the president of Omni Consumer…

The X-Files Animated Comedy In the Works at Fox

New DVD release, , ,
The X-Files has always been a cartoon at heart. Dana Scully’s hair has always been a little too red. Fox “Spooky” Mulder’s unimaginative suit and tie was a caricature of federal officer wear. It’s fitting that Fox is developing an animated comedy spinoff of The X-Files which will be executive produced by the series creator Chris Carter, according to Variety. The spinoff will be called The X-Files: Albuquerque. Fox hasn’t quite committed to the script or presentation yet. The spinoff will not revolve around the characters David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson brought to life. It will revolve around an office…

Sphere Series in the Works at HBO from Westworld Producer

New DVD release, , , ,
Sphere may not rank amongst elite properties sprung from the deep creative well of Michael Crichton, but the property, defined by the late author’s novel and subsequent adaptation movie, is getting revived as a peak television offering from HBO, which, of course, already happens to house a prominent Crichton adaptation series in Westworld. HBO revealed that it is developing a Sphere series, for which it has appointed Denise Thé to serve as showrunner, writer and executive producer, bringing recent experience as an executive producer from this past spring’s third season run of Westworld. The series will adapt Crichton’s 1987 novel,…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Dateline: Townsville USA, right smack dab in the middle of the Arrowverse. A Powerpuff Girls live-action series is in development at The CW according to Variety. But it isn’t being prepared in Professor Utonium’s lab. The new take on The Powerpuff Girls comes from the desk of Greg Berlanti, the mastermind behind The CW’s Arrowverse. Berlanti Productions will be working with Warner Bros. TV. The script will be written by Heather Reigner (Veronica Mars), and screenwriter Diablo Cody, who wrote the book for Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill. A spoonful of sugar may wash that medicine down, but will they bring…

Planes, Trains & Automobiles Remake in the Works with Will Smith and Kevin Hart

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s a classic setup. Two guys who could not be more diametrically opposed must share the same odyssey of holiday travel—by any vehicle necessary—no matter how hard one of them tries to get out of it. Yet perhaps what makes Planes, Trains & Automobiles a classic is the surprising amount of warmth and empathy writer-director John Hughes injected into the formula of the 1987 original movie. It’s a delicate balancing act, and one Paramount Pictures looks determined to replicate in a Planes, Trains & Automobiles remake starring Will Smith and Kevin Hart. As announced via Deadline Monday afternoon, Paramount is…

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Dramatic Reboot Series in the Works

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is set to once again make the television landscape into its kingdom. However, it will do so in a tonally-divergent fashion from the classic 1990-1996 sitcom. The reboot will be based on the 2019 viral short, Bel-Air (which you can view below), by Morgan Cooper. The short was a parody trailer that put a contemporary dramatic twist on the intended comedic premise of the original sitcom, and famously gained the attention of star Will Smith, who referred to it as “an idea that’s brilliant.” Now, said idea will yield the patronage of megastar Smith, whose…

Tron 3 Back in the Works with Director Garth Davis

New DVD release, , ,
Tron 3 is about to emerge from its imprisonment in the proverbial Grid of Disney’s backlog, as evidenced by the Mouse House’s appointment of a director. Garth Davis is now set to direct the long-gestating untitled third film in the Tron franchise, reports Deadline. Davis, an emerging talent known for indie dramas, most recently directed the 2018 Rooney Mara-starring Biblical epic, Mary Magdalene, and the Oscar-nominated 2016 Dev Patel-starring biographical piece, Lion, along with television runs with Top of the Lake (for which he shared an Emmy nod,) and Love My Way. While the status of the script is not…

Fletch Reboot Movie in the Works with Jon Hamm Set to Star

New DVD release, , ,
Jon Hamm is set to make a new advertising pitch, one that will see him taking on the deadpan, stumble-bumming 1980s-era comedy mantle of Chevy Chase with a reboot of Fletch. Miramax has announced its development of a new Fletch movie, which will see star Hamm co-produce with the studio. The film will be a reboot of the franchise launched by 1985 hit detective comedy Fletch and continued with 1989’s Fletch Lives, which starred Chevy Chase as Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher, an eccentric-but-tenacious L.A. Times reporter who gets scoops the dangerous way while donning an absurd variety of disguises. Like the…

New DVD release, , , ,
Literature’s goodest boy is coming back.  Deadline reports that Universal and Mattel are developing a live-action film based on ‘90s PBS children’s series Wishbone. Oscar-winning Green Book producer Peter Farrelly is shepherding the project. Roy Parker (whose script, This House is Not for Sale, was highlighted by the 2019 Blacklist) will write the screenplay.

Atomic Blonde Sequel in the Works for Netflix with Charlize Theron

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Atomic Blonde 2 is, in a surprise reveal, a thing that’s happening… on Netflix, no less. Charlize Theron, whose Netflix sci-fi action thriller, The Old Guard, just arrived on July 10, has revealed plans in an interview with Total Film to field another action offering for the streaming giant. However, rather than immediately following up that film, said offering will be a sequel to Atomic Blonde, the stylish Theron-headlined 2017 late-Cold-War spy thriller. Indeed, while there’s no news to cite for The Old Guard 2, Theron does reveal that she successfully pitched the once-mooted Atomic Blonde sequel—having also served as…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animated Movie in the Works with Seth Rogen’s Point Grey

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Nickelodeon-owned Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise is set for yet another—to briefly borrow its parlance—totally tubular radical reboot, which is now set to launch in the form of a new theatrical animated feature film. This time, according to Deadline, the fighting foursome will star in a CGI-conjured cinematic offering that will see Nickelodeon team with Point Grey Pictures, the shingle of Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver, with Paramount set to distribute globally. Ramsey Naito, EVP, Animation Production and Development, will oversee the project on Nickelodeon’s behalf, with Josh Fagen similarly tasked for Point Grey. Set as director…

Labyrinth Sequel in the Works, Doctor Strange’s Scott Derrickson to Direct

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Jim Henson’s 1986 classic fantasy film, Labyrinth, has achieved something that its initial box office performance would never in a million years justify: a sequel. TriStar Pictures is set to take moviegoers back to the world of fairies, goblins and baby-napping glam-rockers who put on random musical numbers within the confines of enormously ominous oubliettes, with a sequel to Labyrinth now officially in the works, according to Deadline. Additionally, the studio has already found a creative team to tackle the project, tapping a director who’s put in work exploring appropriately labyrinthine fantastical worlds in Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson. He’ll…
