Last month, we reported that Dimension Films had yanked Halloween 3D from its release slate, leaving many to wonder if this horror sequel would ever get made. Now, Platinum Dunes is in talks to produce the project, which will no longer be filmed or released in 3D. Platinum Dunes is currently seeking writers and a director for Halloween 3, which likely means that director Patrick Lussier and writer Todd Farmer, who have long been attached to the 3D project, are no longer involved....

Over 20 years have gone by since the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the movie that kicked off one of the most popular franchises in the history of cinema. Still, the saga remains popular to this day, attracting new fans who appreciate the films thanks to their parents or other relatives. The worldwide success of Harry Potter can be attributed to many reasons, starting with J. K. Rowling’s story and the wonderful and complex wizarding worlds she created in her novels....

We’re all very well aware that despite starting as a franchise for children, Harry Potter kept getting darker and darker with each new released movie. And we can definitely give our thanks for that to the dark side of Voldemort and his blindly devoted followers called the Death Eaters. All of them share the same tattooed sign on their wrists, depicting a snake sliding through a skull head. Once properly pressed onto, they get involuntarily called upon by the Lord himself....

It is a fitting conclusion, filled with darkness and triumph, that will have Potter fans rejoicing....

Fans of Masters of the Universe still haven’t gotten the new live-action movie that they have been promised for the last decade. Still, in the last year, Netflix has released two very different TV series based on the 80s franchise, with Kevin Smith creating a new continuation of the story from the original Masters of The Universe cartoon and Mattel Television developing a brand new iteration called He-Man and the Masters of The Universe that looked to capture a younger audience....

Undeniably one of the greatest and most compelling comedic performers of all time, Jim Carrey has amassed a brilliant repertoire of iconic portrayals. The Canadian-American actor and stand-up comedian first gained recognition in 1990, when he was cast on the sketch comedy television series In Living Color; 30 years later, he is a household name. Carrey’s breakthrough year was without a doubt in 1994, in which the funnyman headlined three beloved motion pictures: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber....

Weddings should be a cause for celebration. Two people have chosen to spend their lives with one another and gathered their friends and family to profess their love to the world. However, in the Game of Thrones universe, weddings seldom feature the raucous festivities they ought to. One need only say the phrase “Red Wedding,” and fans of the series will be sent into a tizzy. The petulant King Joffrey Lannister was poisoned at his wedding, though this likely caused more viewers to celebrate than mourn....

After the success of the Mission: Impossible television series that ended in the ’70s, the movie franchise started with the release of the first Mission: Impossible in 1996. In the 26-year span of the franchise so far, these movies have seen many different cast members, directors, and writers. Even with the different directors’ approaches to some of the films, they still remained consistent in delivering the action-packed movies their fans wanted....

Xena (Lucy Lawless), a fictional character co-created by Robert Tapert and John Schulian, first appeared in the 1995 – 1999 television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys as a secondary character. She was later cast in the 1995 – 2001 television series Xena: Warrior Princess, set in a fantasy version of Ancient Greece. The show narrates the adventures of a warrior princess named Xena and her companion Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor) as they travel the land fighting evil and injustice....

The Good The extras, the film and the packaging combine to make this more than a double dip. The Bad How can the “ultimate experience” not have a commentary track?Iron Man is the story of Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). When this weapons dealer/playboy is wounded on a routine visit to Afghanistan, he survives only to find that he has shrapnel in his chest and captors who want him to build them a weapon of mass destruction....

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia took a classic scene from Seinfeld and expertly recreated it. Frank is George, Dee is Elaine, Mac and Dennis are both Jerry, and Charlie is Kramer in the awesome scene, which is from the episode entitled The Contest, from the fourth season of Seinfeld. The episode is all about masturbation, but never ever mentions the word. Instead, the cast uses a number of euphemisms, which strangely enough, earned Larry David an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing in a Comedy Series....

Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise has undergone one of the biggest and most elaborate changes of any Marvel Cinematic Universe character so far. Having started out as an adult, the character’s sacrifice in the first Guardians movie saw him reborn as “Baby Groot,” and now, as the series heads into its third film, Groot is a young adult. No matter what his age, though, one thing that never changes is his single, all-encompassing line of “I Am Groot," spoken with aplomb by Vin Diesel....

CLICK HERE for more on the third adventure of The Creeper. “The financing is just coming together, so perhaps we will be in preproduction shortly. We have been saying this for a year now, but that’s really about all I can with any certainty....

Jeff Bridges is in talks with Paramount to star in Joel and Ethan Coen’s remake of True Grit, eyeing the role that John Wayne scored an Oscar for in the 1969 original. According to Variety, Bridges last worked with the Coens when he turned in a heralded performance as Jeffrey “the Dude” Lebowski in the 1998 cult fave The Big Lebowski. The picture, which also reunites the Coens with their No Country for Old Men producing partner Scott Rudin, has been redrafted by the brothers to be more faithful to the Charles Portis novel on which the original film was based....

In another strand of the multiverse right around now, we could have been seeing Ben Affleck’s Batman taking the lead in a solo movie and discovering how Zack Snyder’s DCEU plan evolved with the likes of Deathstroke and Joker playing a big role in the franchise. However, circumstances dictated otherwise and a number of plans fell apart thanks to the disjointed affair that Warner Bros. Justice League became, including the big future plans for Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke which it looks like are now dead in the water, as not even the actor believes that he will return to the role...

Fans of Johnny Depp are showing their support for the actor by pushing for his newest film, Minamata, to officially get some Oscar recognition this year. Recently, the full list of nominees for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony was released, and though it had very strong reviews, Minamata was not included in the list. Given the quality of the film along with Depp’s acclaimed performance, many fans labeled this to be a snub....

One of the biggest questions swirling around the Roseanne revival on ABC has finally been answered, with Johnny Galecki confirmed to return as David Healy. The news was confirmed by executive producer Whitney Cummings, who sent out an Instagram image that revealed Johnny Galecki’s chair on set, which was tagged with the actor’s official Instagram handle. ABC president Channing Dungey confirmed in August that Johnny Galecki was in talks to return, but nothing had been official at that time, but it seems his deal has in fact been sealed....

Madonna is directing the project herself and handpicked the star to play her in the role....

The fall releases saved 2007 from being another crap year at the movies (insert 2006 here). We were inundated with brilliant films late in the year. Most notably was the Coen Brothers No Country For Old Men. This film kick-started a slew of great films that pretty much culminated with the release of There Will Be Blood on December 26th. I see 2007 as the year of the established directors. Filmmakers who had done great work previously surpassed themselves with their latest releases, especially Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) and Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood)....
