With the final season of Game of Thrones starting this Sunday, you might forget that this whole thing started with the series of Fire and Ice books written by George R.R. Martin. Starting with A Game of Thrones, which was followed by A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. However, there was supposed to be a sixth book. The ever-elusive, seemingly never coming, The Winds of Winter. Recently, in conjunction with the upcoming climatic Season premier for HBO’s celebrated series, Martin was asked if he had an update on when “Winter…

It has been said many times that the cast and crew of Game of Thrones were like a family. As such, the opinions of how the cast felt about how their characters were being written was important to the show’s Creators, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. So when it came time for the final season’s scripts to be read by the cast, Weiss and Benioff waited to hear from each of the cast to hear how they felt about their conclusion to the series. One by one, they eventually heard from every cast member except one: Kit Harrington. His silence…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19452″ img_size=”800×449″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]We are less than a week away from one of the most anticipated and for some, dreaded moment that has been over a year in the making. The premier of the final season of Game of Thrones. As we settle in for the final six episodes, it has been a time for retrospect of the previous Seven Seasons and what fans might not have known during its record setting run. For example, did you know that the character of Lyanna Mormont was only supposed to appear in one scene? You remember Lyanna? The Lady of House Mormont…

During our search through the GVN files, we have talked about characters that have either been rumored or placed on a wish list by fans who hope to see these characters in either the DCEU or the MCU. But let’s talk about a group that is pretty much set to join the MCU as part of its next phase of Marvel’s Master plan. Let’s discuss a bit of history with the Eternals. The Eternals were created by Jack Kirby and they first appeared in Eternals Issue#1 which was released in July of 1976. The origins of the Eternals starts with…

With the impending Avengers: End Game, this will mark the fourth film that the Brothers Russo have directed for Marvel Studios. Each one more successful than the last. With the insane amount of work that has been involved in this climax of the Infinity Saga, you could forgive the Russo’s for not thinking too much about their future endeavors. Although, if Avengers: End Game turns the kind of business expected, they can pretty much write their own ticket to whatever job they could want. Recently, MTV News interviewed the Russos at this past week’s CinemaCon and asked them if they would…

With Warner Brothers/ DC films Shazam! off to a “super” start on its opening weekend, talk of a sequel has already been discussed by the studio and fans alike. In a recent discussion with Collider, Shazam! Producer Peter Safran explained why it might be necessary to start production on a sequel sooner rather than later. The reason stems with the young cast that portray Billy Batson’s Foster family. They’re going to look like Zach does today. So we’ve got to move quickly with the sequel, for sure. The actors who play Billy and his foster brothers and sisters — Asher…

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=hdZiTQlzk4k You may remember that when the Hellboy project was being discussed there were mentions of the Lobster Johnson character being part of the story. At the time it was being rumored that Thomas Hayden Church would be playing the character. This was mainly due to an early listing on IMDb. Now the folks at Lionsgate have released an all-new clip (via JoBlo) where the classic Hellboy character makes his live-action debut. In the clip ( as seen above), Lobster Johnson can be seen burning his signature claw mark in the head of Rasputin. Remember this is an R-rated clip and is…

As the excitement for the release of Avengers: End Game increases and the Marvel Promotional Train starts to pick up speed, many fans have started watching past Marvel films to prepare. Now the Bros. Russo have made their first suggestion for which film to watch in advance of the conclusion of the Infinity War saga and the end of Marvel’s Phase Three. They suggest that you start with Captain America: The First Avenger. This origin story tells about Steve Rogers journey from skinny draft reject to Super Soldier and America’s first line of defense against The Red Skull and Hydra. With…

When it comes to marketing, presentation is important. At least that is what I seem to remember from my old graphic design class. With that in mind, the CW has apparently released their new logo for their upcoming Lost Boys reboot. You remember the Lost Boys, right? It was Joel Schumacher’s 1987 film that combined comedy and horror while trying to make Vampires cool. It starred Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, (all the Corey’s), Jamie Gertz and Dianne Wiest. The CW has made itself a niche by taking older projects like the Lost Boys and trying to…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14030″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]So I have come full circle. My very first post on this site back in July of last year was about Shazam! and my initial misgivings about Zachary Levi as the titular character. I said then that once I understood the premise under which they were working, I could see the casting. Fast forward eight months (time goes fast in posting time) and I went to see the early Fandango premier of Shazam! given the opportunity. Since the film does not hit all the theaters until April 5th, I will refrain from ruining the major plot and…
