Marvel’s Netflix Plans for IRON FIST and THE PUNISHER Might Be Changing

Posted on by

There are some rumors flying around online regarding Marvel’s Iron Fist. The rumor originated at a site called Peel The Orange, and at first they reported that the series Iron Fist will be canceled and replaced with a Punisher series. The Punisher is such a popular character that it makes complete sense for Marvel to push that series into development if it works within the universe. Continue reading →

George Miller Offers Up Some New MAD MAX Sequel News

Posted on by


There has been talk of more Mad Max sequels since before Fury Road was released, and it’s good to hear that director George Miller is still developing them. There’s still no word on if Charlize Theron will officially reprise her role as Furiosa as previously rumored. The sequel was original supposed to be called Mad Max: The Wasteland, but it looks like that might not actually be the case. In an interview with Deadline, the director says: Continue reading →

Believe It or Not, Greatest American Hero Will Be Walking on Air Once Again

Greatest American Hero

In the 80’s  super heroes really only existed in the comics books  but there was hope in this show!  The idea was an instant hit! and such an original idea! The classic ’80s TV hit The Greatest American Hero is apparently returning to television thanks to Fox, Deadline reports. In case you weren’t aware, the show focuses on a run of the mill teacher who inherits a super-powered red suit from aliens but loses the instructions on how to use it. He ends up discovering the powers built into the suit mostly through slapstick goofball trial and error. It’s (hopefully going to be) a nice, lighter side to the grimdark gritty superhero stuff we’ve been seeing a lot of lately.

Behind the revival are some names that you might recognize: Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the duo behind The LEGO Movie, are slated to produce, and Rick Famuyiwa, Dope director/writer, is set to write. Continue reading →

Mark Wahlberg Partners

Dimension Films has dated “The Six Billion Dollar Man” starring Mark Wahlberg for Dec 22, 2017.

“Wild Tales” helmer Damián Szifron wrote the screenplay and is going to direct.

Production is set to start September 2016. Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Bob Weinstein are producing the film.

“The Six Million Dollar Man” is based on the classic television series from the 1970s and the novel “Cyborg” by Martin Caidin. The story follows military officer Steve Austin, who becomes part of a top secret government program after a horrific accident leaves him near death. With the help of cutting edge technology, Steve is brought back to life with extraordinary abilities, making him the world’s first truly bionic man.

“I’m thrilled to assemble ‘The Six Billion Dollar Man’ for the big screen with the likes of Bob Weinstein and Damián Szifron,” said Wahlberg. “We look forward to creating a Steve Austin for the 21st century.”

Overseeing production for TWC-Dimension are Matthew Signer, EVP of Production and Creative Affairs, and Keith Levine, SVP of Production and Development.

“Writing the screenplay was such a fantastic ride and embarking on this journey with Mark, Bob and Stephen to take this story to a whole new level is simply spectacular,” said Szifron. “Growing up, these kind of films left an indelible mark on me and now it feels so good to be making one.”

Steven Spielberg Can’t Wait to Work With Harrison Ford Again on INDIANA JONES 5

Posted on by

We all know that Indiana Jones 5 is gong to happen one day. Disney plans on making it, Harrison Ford will be back to star in it, and director Steven Spielberg can’t wait to work with him again in the franchise.

Like many of you, I didn’t care for 2008’s The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and I’d like to think that it never happened. I believe there’s still room for another classic Indiana Jones adventure, and I hope this next one will be it. Continue reading →

Marvel Announces HAUNTED MANSION Comic Book

Posted on by

Over the weekend, Marvel announced that they will be a releasing a new Disney Kingdoms comic book that focuses on The Haunted Mansion. Guillermo del Toro has slowly been developing a feature film adaptation of the classic Disneyland attraction for years. I know that film project isn’t dead yet. For some reason, though, they are just taking their sweet time with it.

The Haunted Mansion comic will be a horror-comedy that, obviously, focuses on the haunted mansion and all of the ghosts who inhabit its walls. Three of these ghosts are teased, and those are, of course, the hitchhiking ghosts.

There’s no official information on the plot or when the comic will be released, but it’s expected to launch sometime early next year. As a huge fan of The Haunted Mansion I’m excited to see what they plan on doing with this comic.
