In the wild west of the Internet, it’s difficult to know what information to trust. Some anecdotes have waffled back and forth between “this is true” and “this is just a myth” — one that comes to mind is the story that Donkey Kong got his name from Shigeru Miyamoto
The website Giant Freakin Robot claimed today they have an inside source who has revealed to them a live-action remake of Titan AE is being considered by Disney/Fox. Details were light because “we were unable to learn whose hands the project is currently in,” they say. Take this one with
In the summer of 1991, Fox put out a rather misleading teaser announcing Alien 3. The narration suggested the third movie would be about the creatures reaching Earth…a logical progression of the story, but not what they went with. Instead, the draft described in the teaser was thrown out and
Dark Horse Comics has been publishing material related to the Alien and Predator movies for nearly its entire existence. They took a chance on an Aliens book in 1988 and it took off, paving the way for countless expanded universe stories, and acquired Predator in 1989. It was Dark Horse
At this point, twenty seasons of The Simpsons have been released on DVD — two thirds of the current library, roughly. At the pace they’re going, 20th Century Fox and its parent company The Walt Disney Company should get to our current season by the time Fox broadcasts the 47th.

The promotional campaign for Fox Searchlight’s Ready Or Not is in gear, and 30-second trailers for the film have begun airing in prime time….ads that are somewhat misleading. The TV spots cut the comedic elements out entirely and give the impression that this is a REALLY SERIOUS FLICK about a
FLASH! AAAA-OOOOOH! Remember that? Queen’s cheesy anthem to the 1980 feature film may be the only Flash Gordon-themed piece of work that has survived in the public consciousness. It’s been a long, long time since Flash’s heyday in the 1930s, when he and fellow competitor Buck Rogers (Buck came first)
We estimate that 99% of all websites that write about the release of the Red Band trailer for Ready or Not, the new horror-comedy from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillette, will be making some kind of “ready or not, here it comes” comment in the headline. We also did
The future is inevitable: Linda Hamilton will return as Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate, the first robot-uprising sequel since T2 to have original director James Cameron at the helm. Because Cameron (for the most part) knows what he’s doing, this film will ignore every bad Terminator sequel and consider
Free League is producing an Alien roleplaying game! Preorders will open May 25, the official 40th anniversary of the original 1979 film. It’ll come with a meaty 300-plus page Core Rulebook, gorgeous backdrop artwork, cards and dice. Rules for two separate modes, an ongoing Campaign Mode and a one-session Cinematic
