In The Great Emmy Snubbery of 2013, Tatiana Maslany inexplicably didn’t get an Emmy nomination for her insanely good work playing 6 – or was it 7? I lost count – distinctly different characters, all clones of each other, on BBC America’s Orphan Black. She did get a Golden Globe nod, but the fact that the Emmy’s just left her out …
Let’s face facts: Every great movie is eventually going to be remade. Hell, even the bad ones are going into reboot territory. Top of that list?

While I enjoyed Constantine as a standalone movie, as an adaptation it was rather un-magical. So many elements had been changed (hey, lets get Keanu to play this hard British bastard, only he’s no longer British!) that for most ardent fans of the Hellblazer comics, it felt like a voodoo powered slap in the face. That’s all set to change with …
