Keanu Reevesis writing a comic book featuring a main character that looks exactly like Keanu Reeves, and I absolutely cannot wait to buy it. BRZRKRis about an immortal man who has been wandering the earth for centuries getting recruited by the U.S. government to go on top secret missions. It’s a hyper-violent action epic starring an indestructible rage machine clearly modeled after Reeves himself, and it looks like a ton of good pulpy fun....

Recently,KingsmanstarTaron Egertonwascaught between two dueling production schedules: 20th Century Fox’sKingsman 2and Lionsgate’sRobin Hood: Origins. Egerton’s breakout movie role came inKingsman: The Secret Service, theMatthew Vaughn-directed adaptation ofMark MillarandDave Gibbon’s"The Secret Service" comic book, and after banking more than $412 million at the global box office, it became clear that the studio would be moving ahead on a sequel with Egerton returning in the role of Eggsy.

Mandyfans are finally getting the follow-up they have been dreaming of. According toThe Hollywood Reporter, visionary directorPanos Cosmatosis set to direct a vampire thriller starringKristen StewartandOscar Isaac. In 2018, theNicolas Cagehorror feature grabbed audiences by the nerve-endings as one desperate man searches for his girlfriend, the titular lead of the story.

Cosmatos’ most recent foray behind the camera had him directing an episode ofGuillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, but viewers are no doubt excited for another full-length adventure from the director....

Did you see DC’s big-screenShazam!adaptation? It’s pretty delightful, right? At least when,as our own Matt Goldberg pointed out, it’s not being shockingly dark. How did such intense horror imagery sneak its way into a family-friendly, four-quadrant superhero flick? Because it was directed byDavid F. Sandberg, who broke out with horror hits likeLights OutandAnnabelle: Creationbefore getting scooped up by DC. Now, Sandberg will be combining these two impulses – comic books and horror – into one Netflix package....

One of the bigger surprises out of Disney Studio’s massive D23 presentation wasOnward, the Pixar film I knew almost nothing about going in that completely won me over after eight minutes of footage. (And 10 seconds of Tom Hollandcrushing my soul.) Written and directed byDan Scanlon, the film takes place in a fantasyland Los Angeles that’s lost most of its magic. A pair of elf brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt), embark on a quest sparked by an artifact left behind by their late father....

The logline for the show is fairly simple: it chronicles how the infamous Pam and Tommy sex tape was stolen and released online.

The latest DVD release of Cartoon Network’s rebooted seriesThe Powerpuff Girlsputs the modern version’s special “The Last Donnycorn” front and center. Unfortunately, this 22-minute story featuring Donny the Unicorn is the weakest effort of this 12-episode release, a decision which masks some gems from the Emmy-nominated series. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup remain as cute and combat-ready as ever as they fight to protect Townsville from the forces of evil and try to have a normal childhood despite their superpowers....

We’ve already seen somecute/cringey postersfeaturing starRobert Downey Jr.along with his computer-generated animal pals, which followed on the heels of thefilm’s first trailer.
