Many fantastic fantasy stories are still waiting to be made into movies. The growing ‘romantasy’ genre offers a lot of potential for exciting films, and well-known authors like Brandon Sanderson have major books that haven’t been adapted yet. While many of these stories are now being developed as TV series instead of films, we’ve already seen some great fantasy adaptations succeed on the big screen.

The most disappointing mecha anime often suffer from weak writing, and this is largely because the genre is so focused on technical details. When these details aren’t explained well, or the plot doesn’t make sense, the anime can become confusing and feel unfinished, or even just plain bad.

The new movie Predator: Badlands takes place on a faraway planet, offering a fresh setting and detailed world.

Ryan Reynolds isn’t revisiting Clint Eastwood’s films Every Which Way But Loose or Any Which Way You Can as previously thought. Instead, he’s focusing on a remake of Eastwood’s 1974 movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, which also starred Jeff Bridges. Reynolds’ production company, Maximum Effort, is partnering with Amazon-MGM for the project. Reynolds is writing the script alongside Enzo Mileti and Scott Wilson (known for their work on Fargo) and is also considering starring in the film. This remake will be the first feature film directed by Shane Reid, the editor of Deadpool & Wolverine.

Moving away from horror, the film felt like a live-action Tex Avery cartoon, bursting with surreal visuals, slapstick comedy, and unexpected musical numbers.
