Concept Art For Vincenzo Natali’s Unmade Neuromancer, It, And Predator Movies By Peter Sciretta/June 3, 2015 7:00 am EST I’m always fascinated with the stories of movies that never were (like Darren Aronofsky’s vision of Batman).

The Walking Dead remains a juggernaut for the network, no matter how cranky viewers get about certain unresolved cliffhangers....

There’s No Movement On ‘Fast And Furious 8’ Yet By Germain Lussier/April 8, 2015 9:15 am EST On its opening weekend, Furious 7 grossed $392 million worldwide. That’s a jaw-dropping gross for a franchise that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Many figured an announcement of an eighth installment in the franchise would happen almost immediately.

Tim Meadows Joins The Lonely Island Movie ‘Conner4real’ By Russ Fischer/May 19, 2015 4:00 pm EST The Lonely Island movie — which the crew itself has jokingly referred to as the Top Secret Untitled Lonely Island Movie — is top secret no more.

The three members of the group (Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, and Andy Samberg) will appear, with Samberg playing a rapper whose career tanks, leading him to reform the boy band that gave him his first big break....
