‘Suspiria’ TV Series In Development; ‘Django’ Also Coming To Small Screen By Russ Fischer/April 8, 2015 10:00 am EST The Suspiria film remake may be dead, but that doesn’t mean you can keep a coven of witches down. There’s now a Suspiria TV series in development out of Europe, with original writer/director Dario Argento on board as “artistic consultant.” But you’re probably not expecting precisely this plan for the TV version of Argento’s film about a dance student who discovers a horrifying supernatural secret at the heart of her new school....

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2’ Finds A Bebop In Gary Anthony Williams By Angie Han/May 15, 2015 9:05 am EST Deadline reported the news. It sounds like we’ll get an origin story of sorts for the classic Turtles villain. We’ll first see him in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 as “a punk street thug member of a ragtag gang of misfits who acts as if he’s intellectually superior, but isn’t.” Eventually, we presume, he’ll be mutated into the horrifying warthog-human combination that we know and love today....

Expect An ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ Trailer Around Christmas By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 22, 2015 9:00 am EST But hopefully we’ll learn a little more about IDR this winter as director Roland Emmerich recently revealed in an interview that the Independence Day 2 trailer release will be right around Christmas. But that’s not all the director had to say about the sequel. There were rumblings of an Independence Day: Resurgence teaser playing around July 4th with Terminator: Genisys this past summer, but it wasn’t anything that had footage from the movie, mostly because it was still in the middle of production....

Is The Hulk In ‘Captain America: Civil War’? By Angie Han/May 15, 2015 6:00 am EST Although it’s billed as a Captain America movie, Civil War at this point has a cast big enough to rival any Avengers team-up. Still, not every character in the MCU made it in, and one name that was conspicuously absent was Mark Ruffalo. Or so we thought. A recent post by Ruffalo suggests the Hulk may be joining his Avengers teammates for Captain America: Civil War after all....

See Groot’s Origin Story In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Animated Series Short By Angie Han/Aug. 10, 2015 3:30 pm EST Groot was the breakout favorite from last summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy, but for a variety of reasons — including the film’s running time, its narrative scope, and the fact that Groot is only capable of saying the words “I am Groot” — we never really got to dig into his backstory....

Some of these we covered in our list of Jurassic World Easter eggs over the summer, but there’s a lot more visual evidence now that a hard copy of the movie can be used to show them....
