Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed! Last Updated: August 16, 2013

Much like their lead killers/sociopaths/monsters, horror films refuse to die. Strike it right with one franchise, and you’ve got a license to churn out sequels for years to come. One movie maniac that hasn’t been seen or heard from in a couple of years though, is ol’ hockey-face himself, Jason Voorhees. The Friday the 13th franchise has been in limbo …

Poor Hugh Jackman. The guy just can’t get a break.

Things aren’t looking too good right now for the most cowabunga of heroes right now. A few months after the class ten crap-storm over the double-whammy decision to drop the Teenage Mutant part of the equation and swop mutagenic ooze for the easier-to-explain aliens theory, and now, the film is being pushed back by six months. And the reason why? The …
