Stein’s Goosebumps books, of which there were many, the 2015 film based on his books was both exciting and worrisome as they regarded the Stein books as a very personal thing. They were pleasantly surprised when it became an unexpected critical and financial hit, sitting at 76 percent positive reviews on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes and taking in $150 million worldwide. While we still have some time before Halloween gets here the recently released international Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween trailer should help get you into the Halloween spirit. Check out the new trailer…

When God of War originally launched for the PlayStation 2 it was one of the first games I purchased (along with the original Assassins Creed). It had all the elements I loved. Greek Mythology, battles with huge monsters and multiple paths you could take. Not to mention excellent graphics and man that Kratos had a great look. The PlayStation 4 version was released back in April, and God of War enthusiasts are still plumbing its lore and its world for more secrets! This includes asking about things that might seem like mundane details. Recently, God of War Director Cory Barlog was asked…

It was confirmed by Heroic Hollywood editor-in-chief Umberto Gonzalez that Reeves has yet to finish the script and is not expected to deliver the script until after Labor Day. It was Reeves himself who previously stated that he hopes to begin production on the project in the spring or summer of 2019. Perhaps production itself could begin at the end of this year,…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2890″ img_size=”850×314″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Carlton Cuse is a busy, busy man. He is at the end of a nearly four-year journey to bring Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan best-selling novels to the small screen starring John Krasinski on Amazon, while he is also working on a film adaptation of the cult graphic novel Locke and Key with Netflix. And if that wasn’t enough, has recently signed a $20 million dollar contract with ABC to produce streaming content for them.

That may have fallen through but the Oscar-winner is getting his chance to play the hero again by voicing Peter Parker — or at least one version of him — in the upcoming animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. “There are multiple Spider-Men in different dimensions that are kind of colliding together,” says Cage of the movie. “My character’s Spider-Man Noir. He’s really Peter Parker from the ’30s. I tried to channel those noir films with Bogart, and have those kinds of…

Is Batman an atheist? It’s a question that many have asked over the years and DC Comics may have just answered it. When you consider the lives that heroes lead and the evil they have to face on a day to  day basis, it might be easy for one to wonder why more don’t lean that way. The question of how there could be a God that would allow such suffering and pain in the world could make anyone question their beliefs. As far as Batman is concerned, perhaps that question has been answered in the latest Batman. In Batman…

With the final season of Game of Thrones coming next year, it comes with a bittersweet feeling for many fans. While they are excited to see how the story concludes, they are at the very same time, extremely sad to have to say goodbye to so many of their favorite characters. As if we weren’t already anticipating having their emotions played like a violin, star Nathalie Emmanuel promised that the final season would be “heartbreaking.” “There are so many characters and stories that haven’t found their conclusion. So, this season is going to be incredibly satisfying for people. It is going…

Well now they they can add collaborating with musical legend Alan Menken to their list of been there, done that. It was previously announced in July 2017 that the “La La Land” and “The Greatest Showman” duo would be working with Menken on new songs for director Guy Ritchie’s upcoming live-action retelling of Disney’s 1992’s “Aladdin.
