If it wasn't for COVID-19, we'd be enjoying new episodes of Titans right now. Sadly, however, the show was a victim of unlucky timing, with the shoot scheduled to begin as the virus hit and lockdowns got underway. All plans were quickly put on ice and production was delayed until the fall. Now, though, Titans is officially back before the cameras, with cinematographer Boris Mojsovski sharing a photo (see below) of himself with Nightwing actor Brenton Thwaites from the set and calling him "one of my favorite movie stars."
It's now been almost a decade since the last Final Destination and despite a couple of ups and downs along the way, it remains one of my favorite horror franchises, featuring some hilarious, imaginative and downright disturbing on-screen deaths. Between 2000 and 2011, the series saw five movies that scored a cumulative box office total of $664 million, with Final Destination 5 impressing critics and racking up a decent profit.
In retrospect, Star Wars' First Order weren't the most original villains. The Force Awakens rightly took some criticism in 2015 for repeating the basic structure of A New Hope, including bringing back the Empire in a slightly remixed form. Over the subsequent films (and in various other media), we learned about their philosophy, organization and goals, culminating in the reveal that Emperor Palpatine hadn't died after all and was secretly puppeteering the First Order from behind the curtain.
Time really flies sometimes. For example, it's been six whole years since Chadwick Boseman was introduced as Black Panther at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood. Boseman made his debut in the MCU in Captain America: Civil War, so Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr announced his casting and brought him on stage to rapturous applause. With the conflict of Civil War looming, Downey Jr asked him if he was "drifting one way or the other" between him and Evans. He replied:
One of the common themes of the Hulk is the uneasy relationship between the big green guy and Bruce Banner. The Hulk is extremely useful when there's a gigantic flying monster or mischievous Norse god to smash, but it can't be fun knowing that stubbing your toe could result in you wiping out a city block. As such, the MCU Banner is usually wary of his destructive, angry alter ego.
'Tis the season for scares and with audiences around the world hungry for frights in advance of Halloween, Warner Bros. has put together a very cool supercut showcasing "The Greatest Horror Villains Of All Time." Of course, this should more accurately be described as "The Greatest Horror Villains Of All Time (that we own the rights to)," but the studio proves that they've certainly got a fantastic stable of supernatural, murderous and terrifying monsters.
