Green Book Leads Highly Competitive 2019 Golden Globes
The Golden Globes nominations were so packed with incredible storytelling this year that it was difficult to make predictions going into the big night. If you were torn among several categories on your ballot, that’s with the good reason. The awards show proved that on screens both large and small, it was anyone’s game. Award shows can get a little repetitive when a single title is making a sweep, but that was not the case this year.
HBO Reveals First Footage From Game of Thrones Final Season
What better time for HBO to drop the first official footage from Game of Thrones 8th and final season than during the Golden Globes? With a TV and film-loving audience planted on their couches as a captive audience, it’s a great opportunity for studios and networks to tease their upcoming projects (as Marvel did for Captain Marvel). Not only was HBO teasing the GoT, but we also got a peek at the first footage from Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen series.
Ruby Rose’s Batwoman Role Will Be Expanded in Spinoff Pilot Episode
Kate Kane was one of the most buzzed about TV characters of last year, even though she only had a few minutes of screen time and appeared on a series other than her own. Ruby Rose was announced in the role to much fanfare back in August, but the news was just that she would appear in the Arrow-verse crossover event “Elseworlds.” Unsurprisingly, Rose made a magnificent debut as Kane and Batwoman has officially snagged a standalone series.
Stranger Things 3 Announces a Summer Release
These poor kids. Haven’t they been through enough already? The Upside down, the Mind Flayer, the Demogorgons. That should be enough for any preteen years. Can the next season be called Awkward School Dances or Boring Summer Job? No? It’s still called Stranger Things? Fine, but please pick on someone other than Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) this time.
Your favorite supernatural teenage torture show dropped in on the New Year to announce its return.
Gelflings Come Alive Once More in New The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Images
CG technology has brought us a long way for entertainment and opened new worlds and allowed for new kinds of performance in recent years. However, there is a spirit to practical effects that is unmatched. It’s the knowledge that what you’re seeing on screen actually filled real space in the universe. Even though the stories are make-believe, those characters are real objects you can reach out and touch. Jim Henson was an indisputable pioneer of puppetry and one of the masters of fantasy.
The Mall is Where It’s At for Stranger Things 3 Episode Title Reveal
Brick and mortar stores may be giving way more each day to online purchases, but malls were once king. They went beyond shopping opportunities and were cultural centers of suburbs. Often in malls of the 1980s, you could see movies, play arcade games, get glamour shots, and apparently battle Demogorgons. Netflix has announced the season 3 lineup of Stranger Things and it appears to be focused on that oh so important haven of 1980s teendom.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter’s Tale Trailer is Equal Parts Cheery and Sinister
Are you sure you know exactly who is coming down your chimney this Christmas? If you live in Greendale, you might want to take some extra precautions. The Spellmans are preparing for a “bright solstice” this winter, but sinister forces may interrupt the celebrations. A new trailer for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter’s Tale reveals what the holiday season is like for witches.
We’ve been obsessed with the new Sabrina series since it dropped this fall and are totally in the mood for more.
Two Characters We Love Could Be Reuniting in Marvel Streaming Series
We may have reached the end of some of the Avengers’ stories, but that does not mean we have seen their whole story. Avengers: Infinity War was, needless to say, a shock. We came so far and fought so long alongside characters that were suddenly gone. Among the most devastating losses was Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) who was willing to sacrifice so much in vain. Luckily, that TV series on Disney+ starring the heroine has been confirmed and there may be more good news.
Creators of Blade Runner 2049 Animated Prequel Are Making a Full Series
If you loved the anime prequel to Blade Runner 2049, this one is for you. Adult Swim announced today they will air an entire animated series inspired by last year’s sequel to Blade Runner. Let the replicant mind games begin.
Remember when Denis Villeneuve released those three shorts to bridge the gap between Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049? The gorgeous, yet grisly Blade Runner: Black Out 2022 was a knockout and spellbinding to watch.
The Game of Thrones Cast Filmed a Reunion in Belfast
Game of Thrones has seen a lot of characters come and go. (Season 1 spoilers) We were sad to see Ned Stark (Sean Bean) and Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) bite the dust. However, all of our favorites are gone, but not forgotten. The final season is upon us this April, but the band all got back together. EW shared that a reunion special was filmed showing the, surely, emotional time that the cast all got back together.
The Opening Scene of Nightflyers is a Nightmare in Space
There is plenty to worry about in outer space. Temperatures that will instantly freeze the human body, a lack of breathable atmosphere, and giant flying rock formations. Being a space traveler is difficult enough without a homicidal madman on the loose, but that is what the crew faces in the first five minutes of Nightflyers.
The new series sent shockwaves through SDCC when the footage was released.
Black Lightning Star Cress Williams on TV’s Most Human Superhero
The CW has been delivering the superhero goods on the small screen for years now, but things have gotten really interesting since 2014. That was the year the network began airing a yearly crossover event that involved many of the stars from their live-action series. The event, called the “Arrowverse,” connects the superheroes from Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl, while including folks like Superman, John Constantine and more.
Going Deep With ABC’s A Million Little Things‘ Rising Star Christina Ochoa
A few short years ago, A Million Little Things star Christina Ochoa was driving for Uber in Los Angeles, wondering whether or not she should go back to Spain. The grand-niece of the 1959 Noble Prize winner Severo Ochoa (a physician and biochemist who secured the prize for his work on the synthesis of RNA) and the daughter of acclaimed Spanish sculptor Victor Ochoa, Ochoa has many other passions. She has a deep,
Ruby Rose Reveals a Peek at Batwoman’s Personality on “Elseworlds”
We are nearing the Batwoman reveal on the CW and EW has the first action shot of Ruby Rose. She may be a newcomer to the DC empire, but Rose looks confident, collected, and cool. Just because this is her first time in the cape doesn’t mean it’s her character’s. Rose told EW that Kate Kane has suited up before and is completely comfortable in the role of Gotham’s defender.
When The Flash,
David Harbour Promises Stranger Things Won’t Leave Fans Hanging
Halloween may have felt cold and lonely this year without any Stranger Things to turn to. The spooky series is in a hiatus until season 3 drops next year. However, some things are worth the wait. David Harbour told CNET that good things are to come.
As soon as Stranger Things dropped on Netflix, it became an instant phenomenon. The freakishly talented cast,
A New George R.R. Martin Project May Land on Hulu
George R.R. Martin is gradually taking over our TV and we are completely fine with that. First came that little show based on Martin’s series A Song of Ice and Fire. Game of Thrones I think it is called? Next came the outer space saga Nightflyers. Game of Thrones will embark on a final season in April, but a prequel is looming starring Naomi Watts.
Pedro Pascal Joins The Mandalorian in Leading Role
Just over a month after Jon Favreau teased a brand-new Star Wars character, we now have a familiar face (although the character still has no proper name.) Variety confirms that Pedro Pascal will star in The Mandalorian on new streaming site Disney+.
Although Boba Fett has become one of the most popular characters in Star Wars canon,
Honoring the Mastermind of the MCU, Stan Lee
Stan Lee, the man with an entire universe in his mind, has died at 95.
Lee revolutionized the comics industry by giving his superheroes flawed characteristics where they had previously been invincible and unflappable. Starting with the Fantastic Four, he developed an entire interconnected series of characters that developed into the wildly successful MCU. Working with the legendary Jack Kirby, Lee created the original Avengers Hulk, Thor and Iron Man as well as the X-Men and Black Panther.
Jeremy Irons’ Intriguing Role in HBO’s Watchmen Revealed
HBO’s Watchmen is one of the more interesting TV series currently in development. Based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons iconic graphic novel, Watchmen offers a ton of potential for the canny creator (including the brilliant conceit and all those wonderfully weird characters), but just as many pitfalls. For one, there are few other comic-book narratives that are called “masterpieces” as Watchmen credibly is.
The Breaking Bad Universe is Expanding With a Mystery Project
Vince Gilligan is back to work in New Mexico. Exactly what that means isn’t clear, but it is very, very exciting. The Albuquerque Journal sniffed out a new feature-length project by the Breaking Bad creator taking place where the series was filmed. The local paper connected some dots that give us a picture of a new project that is related to AMC’s meth-lab mega-hit.
The New Mexico Film Office director Nick Maniatis announced,
