The CW’s TV adaptation ofThe Lost Boyshas filled in the roles of the Frog Sisters. While the upcoming series seems like it will have a lot in common with the original 1987 movie, there will clearly be some key differences as well. One of the biggest changes comes from trading in the Frog Brothers for Frog Sisters, with the characters now named Liza and Cassie. It’s now been confirmed that Liza will be played by Cheyenne Haynes, who has appeared in shows likeCamping,Just Add Magic, andShameless....

The VelociPastorat first glance appears to be one of those fun and over-the-top monster movies that audiences love to watch simply for its ridiculousness, like (Sharknado}. While the movie itself is certainly ridiculous and over-the-top,The Velocipastorultimately forgets the most important element that madeSharknadosuch a huge hit: the fun. The Velocipastoris filled to the brim with horrible and amaetur-ish cinematography, even worse editing and bland acting. Even most student films have better cinematography and editing, makingThe Velocipastorlook like a movie with no budget made by a high-schooler that has never touched a camera before in his life, which has us scratching our heads as to where the $35,000 budget actually went....

The U.K. is undergoing a second national lockdown that will begin this week. As a result,movie theatersin the country will once again be shut down for nearly a month. It serves as yet another blow to the exhibition business that has taken a beating in 2020. And it is a business that can only take so many more punches before it is down for the count. As announced byPrime Minister Boris Johnsonover the weekend, all non-essential businesses will be closing as of November 5....

Westworldhas wasted absolutely no time in getting very strange, possibly confusing and perhaps fantastic in its second season. That all depends on what you want from the show, but it at the very least has is hooks in enough for viewers to want its various mysterious solved, even if they may become increasingly hard to follow. While we can’t predict that, what we know for sure is that the latest episodeReuniondelivered on the promise of its name while further complicating the show’s timeline, among other things....

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’box office tale hasn’tquite lived up to the franchise’s expectationsof a successful film. The movie initially showed promise, as seen by its strong $61 million domestic opening weekend revenues, but this was quickly eclipsed by a sharp decrease in subsequent weeks. With a worldwide total of $436.6 million as a result of this downward trajectory, the movie became theleast successful entryin the illustrious live-actionTransformersseries. This underwhelming performance has had an impact on the franchise, generating important concerns about its future course....

To say that theStar Warsfranchise is a successful one would be an understatement, as few franchises in film history have been as adorned with critical praise and as significant on the development of popular culture. More so than anything, it’s the characters of the galaxy far, far away that are why it’s been so successful for such a long period of time. Even those that have never seen a frame of any of the films or television shows are likely familiar with characters like C-3PO, Chewbacca, and Darth Vader....

Veteran screenwriterDavid Koepphas shared a hilarious plot for continuing theMission: Impossiblefranchise. Though the spyactionuniverse officiallycame to its conclusionwithMission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, there’s a chance that it could continue. Koepp, a co-writer on the 1996 original by Brian De Palma, weighed in on the future of the series and provided an outline that could continue (or not) Ethan Hunt’s adventures.

It was a beautiful validation for comic book fans everywhere when the Marvel Cinematic Universe grew so unstoppable that some of the trippiest and hardest-to-adapt characters were finally able to star in their own franchises, with A-list actors to boot. None have been weirder thanDoctor Strange. And now, It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Benedict Cumberbatch in the role of the Sorcerer Supreme, who Steve Ditko and Stan Lee introduced in the pages of Strange Tales back in the summer of 1963....

Like it or not, the Snyderverse is gone and the (underwhelmingly named)DC Universeis here, led by DC Studio’s co-CEOs Peter Safran and James Gunn. While theofficialstart of the Safran-Gunn era is not slated to begin until July 2025 (with the release ofSuperman: Legacy),2023’s summer blockbuster,The Flash,looks toreset the old DC Extended Universeinto the new DCU. Not much is known about the in-universe location of the pre-Safran-Gunn DC movies still to be released post-The Flash (that is a handful to take in),such asBlue BeetleandAquaman 2, butrumors revolving around the two projectssuggest that they will indeed be stories told within the new DCU....

It may be time to really start worrying about theHan Solo: A Star Wars Story. Sure, alarms have been sounded in the past week. But this sounds seriously bad. Perhaps irreversible. ManyStar Warsfans were, at the very least, probably pretty unsure when directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired just weeks before production on the movie was set to finish. However, with Ron Howard coming in and with five weeks of reshoots scheduled to take place after principal photography wraps, it feels like this ship could be turned in the right direction....

This photo comes just a few days after images surfaced of afight between Wasp and Ghost, the new character played by Hannah John-Kamen, although no details about how that fight started has been revealed. Unfortunately, we don’t have any story details to go along with this image, but it’s perhaps the best close-up look we’ve gotten of the costume....
