Link Tank Eragon Gets A Shot At Redemption With A Live Action Tv Series

“An Eragon live-action TV show is currently in development for Disney+. According to Variety, the upcoming Eragon series will adapt the popular fantasy novels, The Inheritance Cycle, by author Christopher Paolini. Eragon is the first novel in the series, forming a basis for the new show. Of course, it’s not the first time Eragon has been adapted. A live-action Eragon film debuted in 2006 but was critically panned. The film starred Ed Speleers as Eragon, Rachel Weisz as Saphira, Jeremy Irons as Brom, and John Malkovich as Galbatorix....

Link Tank The Stories Behind 11 Iconic Tv Show Theme Songs

“Whether it’s a wordy epic that chronicles the show’s backstory or an orchestral piece that lends itself to lyrical parody, a good theme song can augment a TV show’s popularity and even sometimes outlive it. But there’s no clear path to creating—or even just choosing—the perfect track.” Read more at Mental Floss.

Link Tank Ubisoft Is Turning An Assassin S Creed Expansion Into A Full Game

“Ubisoft Entertainment SA has turned an Assassin’s Creed expansion into a stand-alone game to help fill out its thin release schedule, according to people familiar with the project. The game, code-named Rift, was originally planned as an expansion for 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla but morphed into a full game late last year, said the people, speaking anonymously because they weren’t authorized to talk to the media.” Read more at Bloomberg Will Jurassic World: Dominion give fans of the franchise the conclusion they’ve always wanted?...

Link Tank When Will The Box Office Pick Back Up

“The late summer/early fall box office woes continue. Though the new releases opened well on their own terms in this post Labor Day weekend, they weren’t enough to keep this from becoming the year’s second worst grossing weekend. With an overall box office of $40.3 million, it comes in only ahead of the $34.9 million weekend of January 28-30, which didn’t have a single new wide release. If there’s a positive spin to put on the weekend, it’s that the newcomers overperformed slightly and the weekend fell less than expected, ‘only’ dropping 28% despite larger than usual drops on the holdovers thanks to inflated grosses last weekend with the National Cinema Day $3 ticket promotion last Saturday....

Lockwood Co A Netflix Ghost Show That Changes Everything About Our History

The world has been hit by an epidemic. An epidemic of ghosts. They started appearing in the late ‘60s; they are real, they will kill you if they touch you, and they are almost impossible to see—except, for some reason, to teenagers. This is the world of Lockwood & Co. As you can imagine, by the 2020s, this has led history down a very different path. “Society has changed completely....

Lost In Space Episode 10 Review Danger Will Robinson

Lost in Space Episode 10 In my review of Lost in Space season 1, based on the first five episodes screened for critics, I declared it the ultimate “above average” show. Those first five episodes never achieved greatness, nor did they strive for it. Instead Lost in Space presented a perfectly pleasant (if very expensive) above-average sci-fi entertainment option. After viewing the whole season, I stand by that initial impression. Lost in Space is an above average show....

Lucifer Season 4 Episode 9 Review Save Lucifer

Lucifer Season 4 Episode 9 “Just an end of the world prophecy being fulfilled.” The penultimate episode of Lucifer’s Netflix debut “Save Lucifer” sets into motion the events that may finally provide Lucifer the necessary insight into his own self-loathing and prevent him from going full on evil and changing life on Earth as we know it. Self-determination remains a major sticking point between Lucifer and his Father, and Eve’s blind devotion toward rekindling the love she believes Lucifer once held for her drives the overall arc in a direction none of them anticipate, producing potential world ending consequences....

Lucifer Season 5 Episode 12 Review Daniel Espinoza Naked And Afraid

Lucifer Season 5 Episode 12 “Sometimes it feels as if the entire universe is against me.” I’m going to say up front that I honestly don’t know what to make of this episode, and from the opening scenes, something just feels off in this chapter of Lucifer. At the moment, no one fears the power of the celestials more than Daniel Espinoza, and remembering past history, it’s understandable why he feels this way....

Macross Sequels And Films To Be Released Worldwide By Big West And Harmony Gold

Premiering in 1982, Super Dimension Fortress Macross was the start of a massive anime franchise that’s continued to this day with numerous sequels and films. While the first Macross series came to the west as the first part of the Robotech series (and was released uncut later on), most of those sequels and films haven’t been released outside of Japan due to varying legal disagreements between rights holders Big West Co....

Malignant Where To Watch And Hbo Max Release Details

Malignant obviously comes at a very different, and more complicated time for movies, of course. With the Covid-19 pandemic still a serious problem around the world, theaters have struggled to get people back in theaters. The box office just hasn’t been the same, although there are glimmers of hope in releases like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which broke box office records on the long Labor Day weekend with $90 million worldwide, beating the opening weekends of other major blockbusters like F9: The Fast Saga and A Quiet Place Part II....

Malignant And A Quick History Of The Seattle Underground

It’s the setting of two of Malignant‘s best scenes, a forgotten city underneath modern-day Seattle. It’s one of the many locations where director James Wan‘s newest monster likes to hunt his prey. Appropriately enough, we first visit this real-world location during a tour guided by Serena May (Jean Louisa Kelly), who we’ll learn later is the key to unlocking Madison’s (Annabelle Wallis) past. Serena walks her audience through the Seattle of the past, an old market with cobblestone streets buried after a great fire....

Marvel Reveals What A Black Panther 2 With T Challa Would Have Been Like

That includes Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, who had co-written a sequel script with Joe Robert Cole that put T’Challa at the center. “The script we wrote before Chadwick passed was very much rooted in T’Challa’s perspective,” Coogler told The Hollywood Reporter. “It was a massive movie,” he admitted, “but also simultaneously a character study that delved deeply into his psyche and situation.” As described by Coogler, the script would be very much in line with the first film....

Meet The Filmmaking Collective Behind Devil S Due

Radio Silence – which consists of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez and Chad Villella – got their start making short films and putting them online, before breaking out with “10/31/98,” the final and perhaps scariest segment in the acclaimed horror anthology V/H/S, which was also done in the team’s preferred “found footage” style. That paved the way for the collective to direct Devil’s Due, which finds the foursome moving from the independent world into the leagues of the major studios (20th Century Fox in this case)....

It’s long been known that Michael Keaton is returning to the role of Batman and Bruce Wayne for The Flash and Batgirl movies. The reasoning, of course, is still murky. Miller’s Barry Allen will visit the world of Tim Burton’s Batman movies in The Flash and encounter Keaton’s older Dark Knight, but the reasons as to why he is then the Batman of the upcoming Batgirl movie, which seems to be set in the main DCEU timeline remains to be seen....

Midnight Mass It S Time To Talk About That Monstrous Twist

The version of Midnight Mass that Netflix advertised still would have made for a compelling horror series. An isolated, insular island community? Great. A young, charismatic preacher suddenly coming to town to shake things up? Perfect. That preacher proving capable of performing minor miracles? Love it, no notes! Of course, as viewers who have watched at least four episodes of the seven-episode series now know, Midnight Mass has one extra supernatural twist in mind that elevates an already interesting story to true mind-blowing status....

Moon Knight Who Are Khonshu S Female Avatars

When the first episode of Moon Knight hit, comic fans familiar with the character were a bit at a disadvantage. They already had an idea of what was going on, killing some of the drama that those uninitiated were experiencing. While the second episode explains the basics between Steven, Marc, and Khonshu, we also learn more about what makes their dynamic in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so different. Though Marc is the Avatar/Fist of Khonshu, we also know that Arthur Harrow was the previous Moon Knight and, if Marc is ever taken off the table, his estranged wife Layla will be the next one....

For Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the directing duo and executive producers who brought AvengerCon to life, the experience was exactly as much fun as you think it would be. They called it their favorite set ever. Distractingly so, though we can’t say we blame them. “We were like fanboys ourselves, you know, taking selfies, playing around with all the stuff,” Fallah says. “The producer had to come to us and say, ‘Hey, guys, come on, direct!...
