The critics haven’t been especially kind to 3 From Hell, the new horror sequel from cult director Rob Zombie. WGTC’s own Matt Donato, for instance, panned the film as “an ugly example of too much wicked style over zero intended substance,” but just like any other release from this divisive director, Zombie’s long-awaited follow up to 2005’s The Devil’s Rejects still has its defenders. Filmmaker and podcaster Kevin Smith, for instance, attended the movie’s recent premiere, and came away more than satisfied.
Right now, Lucasfilm is keeping fairly quiet on Leia’s role in the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but if a recent pair of leaks has it right, then this year’s release could offer some key insight into the journey of Carrie Fisher’s character between the Original and Sequel Trilogies. Be warned that potential spoilers lie ahead.
It’s only a couple of months now until Disney Plus goes live in North America, but already, the service has been tested in the Netherlands, giving us an early glimpse of the content lined up for the much hyped streaming platform.
With the upcoming 3 From Hell, Rob Zombie continues the saga of Captain Spaulding, Baby and Otis that began with 2003’s House of 1000 Corpses and continued with 2005’s The Devil’s Rejects. But as the series moves into its third installment, you may’ve noticed that one sinister character from the first film has been completely left behind.
The upcoming ninth installment in the popular Saw series recently wrapped filming, and as director Darren Lynn Bousman looks back on the footage he shot over the past couple of months, the filmmaker singles out one particular scene as a disturbing highlight.
It’s one of the most famous on-screen blunders in the history of cinema: During one of the Death Star scenes of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, a Stormtrooper can be seen bumping his head against the door as he enters the security control center. Not only is the moment an amusing little Easter egg that still finds frequent circulation in GIF form more than four decades later. But the fact that the actor’s head is covered by a helmet ensures that the incident carries an intriguing element of mystery.
Seeing how the previously planned Boba Fett movie is no longer on the agenda, upcoming Star Wars show The Mandalorian might be the closest we’ll ever get to witnessing the legendary bounty hunter in another live-action adventure. But when actor Pedro Pascal was first briefed by showrunner Jon Favreau on the highly anticipated Disney Plus series, the star was momentarily under the impression that Boba and the show’s similarly dressed title character were actually one and the same.
In the last couple of months, Marvel Studios has dropped a series of official announcements covering the next three years of superhero cinema, leading up to the release of Black Panther 2 in May of 2022. That being said, since it’s well established that Kevin Feige and his team love to play the long game with their story arcs and release schedules, we can surely take it as a given that the production house already has ideas brewing for Marvel’s Phase 5 and beyond, which likely means plans for the MCU’s next Big Bad.
A few days ago, an article from Deadline on the recent Saturn Awards casually broke the news that Robert Downey Jr. will be seen once more in the role of Iron Man in next year’s Black Widow movie. Naturally, the claim quickly sent the internet into speculation mode, and it wasn’t long before the fans on social media started suggesting the return of every Marvel theorist’s favorite go-to: Skrulls.
With the exception of the Avengers films, no Marvel Studios series has so far made it beyond movie number three. And while Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder is set to break that pattern when it arrives in theaters two years from now, the highly anticipated fourquel is expected to bring some big changes to the saga, including a passing of the torch from Chris Hemsworth to Natalie Portman.
