When Naughty Dog and Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Uncharted game series first made it’s appearance on our gaming screens in 2007, it was a natural for future film development. Much like Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, Nathan Drake, the Indiana Jones-like hero is finally making the leap from the video game console to the big screen.  Finally, after a long time in development, the film will be directed by Dan Trachtenberg  with Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers star Tom Holland as the title character. Now, That Hashtag Show reveals some new details, including the apparent short list to play Drake’s mentor, Victor “Sully” Sullivan. It…

With Marvel’s comprehensive plans to rule the Superhero Cinematic Universe (Although with DC’s run of high quality films they might have something to say about that), they have started to delve deep into the Marvel immense stockpile of characters that my not be universally known by everyone. Whether it be the Eternals, Shang-Chi or even discussions of Nova, the Marvel brain-trust is trying to broaden their horizons and expand their audience by re-introducing or re-inventing Marvel’s past. With that in mind, Deadline in a recent piece comparing the similarities between Deathstroke, Deadshot, Bloodshot and Deathlok, stated that there is a…

When it was announced that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D was renewed for Season Six, and later Season Seven, that was about all anyone knew. Eventually more details emerged, including that the Son of Coul himself, Clark Gregg would be directing the premier episode. However, Gregg was not the only guest director they decided to enlist as Lou Diamond Phillips of LaBamba fame was also brought aboard to direct a yet to be named episode. This is not Phillip’s first rodeo as he has directed episodes of Longmire, in which he also starred, The Twilight Zone and recently, Fear of the…

When Elvis was taking over the entertainment world, the one constant in his early career was his manager “Colonel” Tom Parker. It was through his vigilance that his intitial Sun records deal was signed and eventually his huge deal with RCA records. After that Elvis became a cultural Phenomenon appearing on TV, Movies, and breaking attendance records everywhere he went. And always, in the background, making things happen was Tom Parker. Variety has revealed that Tom Hanks is in negotiations with the Warner Bros. to play the iconic manager in Baz Luhrmann’s yet unnamed Elvis biopic. Luhrmann will direct the movie and he…

So when it was announced that a sequel was in the works for 1992’s Basketball/Looney Toons Opus Space Jam (Hey, there’s not that many Basketball/Looney Toons movies…So that makes it an Opus!), it only made sense to use the current day version of the greatest basketball in the land, Lebron James in the “His Airness” Michael Jordan role. Other than that however, the roles involved were pretty much unclear. Recently, That Hashtag Show obtained character breakdowns and plot details for Space Jam 2. Here are the Character breakdowns as reported by them: Dom (Supporting; 11-14; Black) Male or female, athletic and…

Its been building to this for over a year. The series final of perhaps the Greatest series on Television. Fans have been theorizing, discussing, and usually lamenting that the end is near. When it is all said and done, and the Ice Clears, we will know how it all ended for Game of Thrones. Some of us will be happy, some will be sad, some might even be mad, depending on how it ends up. But just when you are able to decompress after the show’s final episode, HBO will release a documentary directed by Jeanie Finlay, which will talk…

If there was ever a film that capture the imaginations of children and adults alike, it was Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride. Based on the book by William Goldman, it told the tale inside a tale of a young man (Fred Savage) who is home sick and is read a book by his Grandfather (Peter Falk). This book is The Princess Bride. While initially fearing that the book is nothing but a “kissing” book, the Grandson soon learns it is full of sword fights, near escapes, six-fingered men, Shrieking Eels, Rodents of Unusual Size, revenge, Giants, and yes…true love (or…

Next in our series of possible television and film inclusions comes a character who’s alter-ego has been around as long as Spider-Man has. In fact, his original character helped establish how the young Peter Parker was perceived in high school. That character is Eugene “Flash” Thompson, school bully and general pain in the ass to “puny” Peter Parker. A lot of things have changed for “Flash” since then. Recently, he was known as Agent Venom and then as Anti-Venom. How did this come about? How did the former High School QB and thorn in Pete’s backside become a host for…

Let me start out with, I have watched Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice many times. Whenever it comes on, I’ll stop and watch it. So I like the film for the most part. But there has always been two parts that I have struggled with. One being the “infamous” Martha scene. Anyone who has seen the film knows what I’m talking about. Recently, at The Director’s Cuts” panel at Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design on Sunday, Snyder addressed this much talked about scene and how they came about their reasoning for it. It’s funny, because we, [screenwriter] Chris Terrio…
