You won’t believe this, but Frank Darabont – who worked with Stephen King on The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile – was actually asked to direct The Dark Tower movie! I read an interview with him on IndieWire, and he said he turned it down. Apparently, Stephen King himself called him and asked if he’d be interested, and Darabont just didn’t feel it was the right project for him at the time.
If you enjoy fighting zombies in video games, here’s a list of some great options that aren’t part of the Resident Evil series.
I remember watching the very first Christmas episode of King of the Hill when it aired on December 21st, 1997. It was only the show’s second season, and the episode, titled “The Unbearable Blindness of Laying,” introduced us to Hank’s mom, Tilly. It was a pretty shocking episode, actually – Hank accidentally walked in on his mother with her boyfriend and, as a result of the trauma, temporarily went blind. It definitely left a lasting impression!
Cyclops and Jean Grey have been a central couple in the X-Men since the 1960s, but many fans feel this relationship ultimately held Cyclops back. This became especially clear during the critically acclaimed New X-Men series in the early 2000s. Writer Grant Morrison focused on developing Scott Summers, and a key part of that was his relationship with Emma Frost. Emma and Scott were together for twelve years (2004-2016), and it’s time to admit that Emma Frost was his best partner. I’m no longer willing to downplay that fact.
Initially, The War Between the Land and the Sea seems like a sci-fi love story – a bit like Romeo and Juliet – about a conflict between humans and Homo Aqua, an intelligent species that evolved on Earth long before us. Human pollution is harming Homo Aqua’s home, leading them to seek peace talks. However, the show isn’t truly focused on the negotiators (played by Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw); it’s actually about a well-established, 30-year-old character undergoing a transformation into a villain.
While Wise Guys didn’t quite hit the mark, Carlito’s Way and Scarface, both featuring Al Pacino, are considered classics of the gangster film genre. Though Tony Montana’s story in Scarface is iconic, Brian De Palma’s strongest gangster film is actually The Untouchables, which is now available to watch for free on Tubi with just a few ads.
According to a new report from Nexus Point News, season 2 of Creature Commandos will introduce several new characters to the DC universe, including the powerful hero Captain Atom. While it’s unclear if Captain Atom will only appear in one episode or throughout the season, the series will feature the Nathaniel Adam version of the character.
The event also showcased a unique illustration created by Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, and Yuji Iwasaki, the artist behind the recent sequel manga, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. The artwork features characters from both the original series and the sequel facing off against each other. On one side are Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, and Satoru Gojo, with Ryomen Sukuna looming behind them. The other side shows Tsurugi Okkotsu, Yuka Okkotsu, Maru, Cross, and Usami, while Dabura confronts the King of Curses. The illustration was revealed at the event and then shared on the series’ official social media accounts.
