Star Wars: Rogue One Reshoot Director Is Writing Cassian Andor Disney+ Show 16 Oct, 2019 Tony Gilroy is returning to Star Wars after his involvement in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story's reshoots to write and direct episodes of the Cassian Andor Disney+ show. As the second movie from Lucasfilm under Disney's leadership, Rogue One's difficulties through production are well chronicled. The movie went through extensive reshoots late in the game to reshape most of the third act. These were handled by Tony Gilroy primarily, with original director Gareth Edwards still involved. All of the turmoil was worth it in the end though, as Rogue One was well-received and made over $1 billion worldwide. The clear success of the movie complicated the massive success of the standalone adventure, which ended with all of its main cast members dying. However, Lucasfilm has found other avenues to expand some of their stories and that will soon transfer to Disney+. Diego Luna is set to reprise hi

Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Dolittle Movie Gets Name Change & Poster 13 Oct, 2019

Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Dolittle Movie Gets Name Change & Poster 13 Oct, 2019 Robert Downey Jr.'s new take on Doctor Dolittle gets its first poster, and changes titles from The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle to simply Dolittle. The titular physician first made his debut in the 1920 book The Story of Doctor Dolittle, and would go on to appear in 14 further works of children's literature. What makes Dr. John Dolittle different from most medical professionals is of course his ability to converse with animals, a power that enables both his understanding of them and the reverse. Dr. Dolittle's adventures have been adapted for multiple forms of media, although the most famous tend to be his appearances in live-action film. Rex Harrison starred in 1967's initial Doctor Dolittle film, a musical. Best known to modern audiences are the late-1990s Dr. Dolittle comedies starring Eddie Murphy, which while rated PG-13, sometimes skirted the line of what qualifies as family-f

Crisis on Infinite Earths May Include Tom Ellis as Lucifer 13 Oct, 2019 The already sprawling cast of the upcoming Arrowverse crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths, just got devilishly more so - with Lucifer star Tom Ellis reportedly joining the action. The annual crossover has become a staple of the DC/CW shared-universe. This year's event will ambitiously attempt to adapt Marv Wolfman's seminal 1985 storyline and is set to air across five hours. The saga will see the heroes of Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman unite to combat the multiverse-destroying threat of the Anti-Monitor. They will also be joined in that endeavor, for the first time, by the cast of Black Lightning and many more. The impending adventure was more recently seeded in The Flash's season 6 premiere. Ellis, meanwhile, debuted as the titular fallen angel back in 2016. Despite initially mixed reviews, critical reception warmed across the show's initial three seasons. Unfo

Jay & Silent Bob Reboot Clip is a Perfect Batman V Superman Parody 15 Sep, 2019 Jason Mewes made an appearance at the 2019 Saturn Awards to debut a new sneak peek at Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. Mewes debuted as one-half of the titular duo in 1994's ultra-low-budget comedy, Clerks. He later reprised the role in such other cult classics as Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Mallrats. The less vocal of the two is played by Kevin Smith. Smith also served as the writer and director of each aforementioned installment. They would later headline their own movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, in 2001 before returning to cameos for Clerks 2. In the years since, Smith has further cultivated his already-passionate following with various podcasts and stand-up specials, while simultaneously producing passion projects like Tusk and Yoga Hosers. He also made the move to television, directing episodes of both The Flash and Supergirl. Following a near-fatal heart attack, however, the popular writer/

The Batman Fan Trailer Envisions Ben Affleck's Lost DCEU Movie 15 Sep, 2019 While Ben Affleck may be out of the Batman role, that hasn't stopped a fan from creating a trailer for his DCEU solo movie that could've been. As has happened with many superhero and villain castings over the years, the announcement that Affleck would be donning the cape and cowl for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was met with much derision from fans, only to see many of those same fans be converted after seeing the actor onscreen. While Affleck's three appearances as Batman - in BVS, a cameo in Suicide Squad, and Justice League - were hampered by the decidedly mixed reaction to all three of those films, many DC devotees still came away with the belief that Affleck was the right man for the role, and just needed a better script to be part of. It looked like he might finally get that in his planned Batman solo film, which he was originally set to star in, write, and direct. Needless to s

Iron Man Reportedly Returning To MCU For Black Widow Movie 15 Sep, 2019 A new report suggests Robert Downey Jr. is returning as Tony Stark/Iron Man for Black Widow. The first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4, Black Widow is actually set after the events of Captain America: Civil War but before Avengers: Infinity War, making it a prequel rather than a continuation of the post-Endgame story. Starring Scarlett Johansson in the title role, Black Widow will also include David Harbour suiting up at Russia's version of Captain America, Red Guardian, as well as Rachel Weisz and Florence Pugh as other Black Widow agents. The main villain of the film is Taskmaster, a character who is a formidable foe thanks to his "photogenic reflexes" that allow him to quickly observe and copy any person's fighting style. Up until now, there had been little to no mention of what allies Natasha Romanoff may have in the film, but according to one report, Black Widow may se

Supernatural Final Season Trailer: Welcome To The End 14 Sep, 2019 The end is truly nigh in the first official trailer for Supernatural season 15. The show first debuted on The WB back in 2005. Despite never being a huge winner in the ratings, Supernatural cultivated a passionate following that saw it survive the network's transition into The CW. That fan following only grew with each passing season, affording the show consistent renewals and its place as one of The CW's staple offerings amid its ever-expanding comic book universe. Earlier this year, however, it was announced that the 15th season would also be the last. Starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, Supernatural tells the story of Sam and Dean Winchester. As per the family business, the two brothers traverse America, saving people and hunting things. Over the years, they have faced everything from wendigo and vampires to demons and rogue angels. Their unconventional family has fluctuated over the years, with o
