Anime production company Production I.G announced the acquisition of the original rights to the FLCL OVA, which made its debut back in 2000. Recognizing the international popularity of the six-episode anime—directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (Gunbuster 2), with I.G, Gainax, and King Records making up the production committee—and the exposure it got from its English-dubbed broadcast, The August 28th announcement notes the six-episode series’ international popularity and the exposure from its dubbed broadcast, before indicating I.G’s plans to take advantage of the acquired rights, with the possibility of a remake mentioned. Production I.G hinted at future plans.
One of those plans includes the possibility of a FLCL remake. We’ll have to wait and see if they actually go through with it, but the power is now in I.G’s hands, so we could see more FLCL in some form down the line. Continue reading

Vincent Cassel To Play The Villain in BOURNE 5
Matt Damon recently offered up some details about the upcoming Bourne 5, in which he’ll return to reprise his role as Jason Bourne/David Webb under the direction of Paul Greengrass. We still don’t know a ton about what the movie will be about, but since filming is set to begin extremely soon, it was inevitable that we’d start to hear more about who will be joining Damon in the cast.We already know that Ex Machina star Alicia Vikander is playing one of the female leads, Julia Stiles is returning as Nicky Parsons, and Tommy Lee Jones has joined up too, reportedly as a high level CIA officer. Viggo Mortensen was at one point rumored to be the film’s villain, but now Variety is reporting that Vincent Cassel has signed on in the role of an assassin trying to track and kill Bourne.
Cassel is the latest in a line of baddies that includes Clive Owen, Karl Urban, and Edgar Ramirez in the original trilogy, and he has a perfect mixture of European style and physicality that should make him a great addition to this franchise.
Bourne 5 hits theaters on July 29th, 2016.
Tons of Famous Movie Characters Meet at Hell’s Club in This Magnificent Mashup
Editor Antonio Maria De Silva has created something magical with Hell’s Club, a mashup that features tons of characters across movie history interacting in the same fictional club. This is a Twilight Zone-style place where Ewan McGregor’s young version of Obi-Wan Kenobi can walk in and make eye contact with Ewan McGregor’s character from Trainspotting, or Tom Cruise in Collateral can catch the eye of Tom Cruise from Cocktail behind the bar. It’s a place where John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever can bust a move on the dance floor while John Travolta from Pulp Fiction watches from above, and where Blade fights The Terminator for no reason whatsoever. It doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense, but it’s pretty awesome! I don’t normally post this kind of thing, but I feel it’s a must-watch, so here we go!
