A few months ago, a teaser trailer of sorts appeared online for a Knight Rider project called Knight Rider Heroes. We know something is brewing, we just don’t exactly know what it is. One thing is for sure, David Hasselhoff wants a revival series, and he talks about what he’d like to see happen during an interview with Variety. Continue reading
Netflix releases trailer for “Voltron: Legendary Defender”
Netflix and DreamWorks Animation have revealed the first Voltron trailer, which you can watch in the player below. In the series, the five heroes get their own lion bots and become “the last line of defense for Arus and other planets against an evil alien force led by King Zarkon.”
“We’re trying to keep as much of that classic feel to it as we can, because ultimately we have huge amounts of nostalgia for (the original) show,” co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery told USA Today. Continue reading
This is the Headline for Garry Shandling’s Obituary
Garry Shandling, the comedian whose TV shows “The Larry Sanders Show” and “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” parodied talk shows and sitcoms with reflexive, absurdist comedy, has died. He was 66.
Los Angeles Police Department Officer Rosario Herrera confirmed his death Thursday afternoon. The cause of death was not given.
Shandling became a hero to a generation of comedians for his self-aware comedy and groundbreaking shows. Continue reading
Marvel TV Developing Captain Britain Series?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s movie and television branches alike are in the midst of some serious expansion. In addition to the slate of Phase 3 films and new TV series in development like “Luke Cage” and “Marvel’s Most Wanted”, Marvel continues to mine its vast character stores for interesting new series. One of the challenges of bringing Marvel-branded entertainment to television, though, is finding characters who will appeal to TV audiences without being major properties – since most of their big names like Thor and Iron Man are already engaged in the MCU.
Enter smaller yet popular properties like the Inhumans (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) and the Defenders (“Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones”). Even their upcoming sitcom “Damage Control” could contain cameos from existing characters and introduce second- and third-stringers to the otherwise powerless superhero cleanup crew. As we’ve already seen a number of smaller run Marvel characters on TV, the possibility of Brian Braddock’s Captain Britain doesn’t sound entirely far-fetched. Continue reading
Director Shane Black Hypes ‘The Predator’ As An Expensive “Spectacle”!
After the 1990 film Predator 2, Twentieth Century Fox lost focus on both their Predator and Alien franchises, releasing the underwhelming Alien vs. Predator, it’s even cheaper R-rated sequel, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, and then the Robert Rodriguez-produced reboot/sequel Predators.
Thanks to Marvel and their cinematic universe, every studio executive is shifting focus. There’s all sorts of eventized franchises afoot, whether it’s X-Men, Planet of the Apes or Ridley Scott’s new Alien trilogy.
Fox was quick to adapt, being one of the first studios to start spending money on respectable reboots. And while some failed (Fantastic Four), others have flourished. Prometheus, for example, has opened up the door for a mega-sized Predator follow-up, which is being directed by Shane Black. Continue reading

Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Another Terminator Movie is Coming. Doesn’t Say How, or When.
Terminator franchise star and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger told Channel Nine’s Weekend Today this weekend that even with poor critical and box office reception for Terminator: Genisys last year, the franchise is expected to return for another installment.”I am looking forward to it, absolutely,” Schwarzenegger said, giving nothing in the way of specifics in an interview! Continue reading Disney Has Reacquired Rights For The Black Cauldron. Will they get it right the Second Time?
Variety says Disney has reacquired the rights to The Chronicles of Prydain, which were the original books by Lloyd Alexander that The Black Cauldron was a part of. Another little fun fact about this film: it was the first Disney movie to feature computer animation! Now, in what seems like either a massive act of hubris, or one of potential adaptational atonement, Disney has an eye on developing a new feature based on the author’s high fantasy world of noble swineherds, oracular pigs, and references to Welsh mythology. Continue reading
