This trailer for ORPHAN BLACK Season 2 is just going to start shooting people
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 …
Inside The Writer's Studio – Remaking Titanic
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? Fresh rumours that Titanic will go headfirst into iceberg territory once again. James Cameron’s classic film and the number one reason for bleeding ears thanks to that godawful Celine Dion song will most likely …
Evan Goldberg talks PREACHER TV series; says they will stay as true to the comic as they can
When I was a child, I remember some parents declaring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as evil and praying for all us kids who watched it. So if a fun cartoon about some pizza-loving amphibious reptiles had them running for the church pews back then, I can’t even imagine what a proper, true to form adaptation of controversial comic Preacher will do. But …
This trailer for THE DEVIL'S KNOT is here to help
By now, the West Memphis Three story has been thoroughly milked by the movie industry, with four films telling the same story. So what the hell, let’s add a fifth movie to that pile. The Devil’s Knot tells the same tale, but this time, from the perspective of the parents who lost their children in a shocking 1993 murder in …

You are all going to infect each other with this teaser trailer for THE NORMAL HEART
One of the sadder stats associated with living in Africa, is that very few of us have not been affected by HIV-AIDS in some form or another. It’s an unfortunate reality we have come to live with. Back in 1980’s America though, the reality was much different as denialists labelled it a bogeyman epidemic blamed on the homosexual community. Tackling …
David S. Goyer talks CONSTANTINE; says they start shooting this week, expect more characters from the comic
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 …
