My favourite genre of movie is science-fiction, without a doubt. Better than that is science-fiction time-travel which plays with your mind.

One of the world’s biggest directors is teaming with one of the world’s biggest rock stars to bring you a show about the 1970s music industry on the channel known for unfiltered, uncensored content – and they’re doing it with the writer and executive producer of The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire.

While the word “reshoot” is sometimes a warning klaxon that something on a movie needs to be fixed (or made worse – here’s looking at you, 47 Ronin), additional shooting has become par for the course when it comes to Marvel. The comic book film studio regularly has their flicks go back in front of the camera, usually to either …
I’ve been keen on a Suicide Squad movie ever since Warner Bros announced that David Ayers would be directing that film. It’s a property which has the potential to be the DC answer to Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy. A darker, but different, take on the usual goody two shoes capes and masks action that the Justice League represent. Since …
