TRAILER: ‘The Conjuring’ Prequel Reveals Origins of ‘Annabelle’
July 17th, 2014 Kevin Blumeyer In most circles, Annabelle has been referred to as a spin-off ever since it was announced shortly after The Conjuring became one of last summer’s massive box-office successes. Today, we’re given our first extended look at Annabelle, with a trailer that more or less confirms the film is actually a prequel to The Conjuring. I […]

‘The Conjuring’ Gets A Spinoff-Prequel About Annabelle (The Doll)
November 9th, 2013 James Shotwell [minor spoilers ahead] One of my favorite aspects of The Conjuring was how director James Wan showed audiences the room where the Warrens kept all the items they believed to have been used or possessed by evil spirits without giving them too much back story on any particular object. There seemed to be hundreds of […]

SyFy Has Officially Greenlit ‘Sharknado 2’
July 17th, 2013 James Shotwell Okay, internet. Let’s all take a deep breath and calm down. You won. Though the debut of Sharknado was not a ratings juggernaut, the wild social media response to SyFy’s latest has been so great the cable network has officially greenlit plans to make Sharknado 2 a reality. According to reports, the latest installment of […]
LucasFilm Dates “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith” 3D Release, World Sighs
August 27th, 2012 Tyler Osborne Well, this was expected but it doesn’t make me any less sad. LucasFilm announced a while ago that they would be rereleasing their Star Wars movies in 3D again to enhance the movie going experience (for those who aren’t as cynical or frankly ignorant, this means they just want to enhance their wallets). Sadly, Lucasfilm […]

COULD BE GOOD: “Jackie Brown” Prequel Confirmed
February 2nd, 2012 James Shotwell There are countless blog posts scattered across the internet hating on the fact that nearly every film that finds a sliver of success in the mainstream winds up with a shitastic sequel/prequel, but this one may be different. Variety is reporting that a prequel to Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown, entitled Switch, is scheduled to begin […]

MOVIE TRAILER: Prometheus
December 21st, 2011 Jacob Tender What a week for trailers! In the past several days, we’ve seen trailers for The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and now Ridley Scott’s ALIEN related project, Prometheus. As a huge fan of the Alien series originally pioneered by Scott in 1979, the first whiff of an Alien prequel had me suppressing […]

Get Ready, A “Pinocchio” Prequel Is On The Way
October 17th, 2011 James Shotwell I don’t know how many people saw the box office report this weekend, but Real Steel is once again number one and Fox’s prequel/remake of The Thing failed miserably. You’d think studios would start to realize the hype of remakes, prequels, and sequels is starting to die down, but as you’ll soon learn that seems […]

June 23rd, 2011 James Shotwell Can you believe it has been ten years since Wet Hot American Summer was released? The camp-y comedy from director and comedy mastermind David Wain premiered at Sundance 2001 and later opened domestically to almost no audience (grossing only $300,000 theatrically). However, thanks to DVD sales, film geeks throwing theme parties, and torrents helped by […]
