“Prenatal Robin” Coming To ‘Gotham’ While Harley Quinn Sits The Season Out By Angie Han/Nov. 19, 2014 4:30 pm EST Fox’s Gotham is practically drowning in future supervillains, so it’s nice to hear there’s a future superhero on the way. Though he probably won’t be of much help to Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne right now, seeing as he hasn’t even been born yet. Showrunner Bruce Heller revealed that a “prenatal Robin” storyline is in the works for Gotham....
‘Punk’d’ Co-Creator Bringing Celebrity Pranks To The Big Screen By Germain Lussier/June 8, 2015 2:00 pm EST When the MTV show Jackass made the transition from TV to movies, few people understood why. Then they saw why. With a bigger budget than the show, but still considerably smaller than most movies, the show was able to go way beyond what people saw on TV at a relatively cheap price. The result was massive box office success and multiple sequels and spin-offs....

Are These The Teams In ‘Captain America: Civil War’? By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 8, 2015 2:00 pm EST Now that Phase Two is complete, fans of the Marvel cinematic universe have their eyes set on Phase Three, which kicks off with Captain America: Civil War next March. And this particular sequel is even more exciting than most, because our favorite superheroes will be fighting each other this time. However, we haven’t really heard much about who will take what side when Captain America and Iron Man come to blows over something called the Sokovia Accords, which seems to be some kind of form of the Superhero Registration Act from the comics, or at least a type of government oversight for the Avengers....

Fan Art: Benedict Cumberbatch As Doctor Strange, Gal Gadot With Improved Wonder Woman Armor By Germain Lussier/Jan. 7, 2015 5:00 am EST Until films like Doctor Strange go in front of cameras, we rarely get to see what the actors look like in costume. That’s where the fan community comes in. They’re always more than willing to grab an image of a famous actor, and others of their newly attention-getting role to put them together, giving us an idea what we might see on the big screen in the future....
By Russ Fischer/May 27, 2015 5:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Variety reports that John Davis and Davis Entertainment are producing, with Ira Napoliello and Matt Reilly overseeing the remake at Fox. This new film is once again based on Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s comics, but we don’t know how faithful this one will be. I hesitate to say they couldn’t be much less faithful than the 2003 film, but that might be misinterpreted as a dare....

MTV Gives Series Order To ‘Scream’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 28, 2014 5:00 pm EST Teen Wolf has guaranteed company in the film-to-TV crowd on MTV. The cable company has given a series order to Scream, the show based on Wes Craven’s defining horror series.

Quentin Tarantino’s Rule? No Cell Phones On The Set By Jack Giroux/Dec. 25, 2015 9:00 am EST We all know how annoying it is when a cell phone goes off during the middle of a movie.
