If you're a movie fan but have no interest in sports, the Super Bowl is still extremely exciting (and if you like both, what a weekend). That's because movie studios often use the annual event to showcase their newest releases, but in recent years, a couple have decided against spending millions of dollars on thirty-second commercials. And honestly, can you really blame them?
Sir Ridley Scott's Alien has been widely hailed as a masterpiece, but many fans prefer James Cameron's action-packed sequel Aliens. Regardless of which side of the fence you land on, there's no denying that the franchise has struggled since then thanks to the disappointing third and fourth instalments and the mixed response to so-called prequel Prometheus.
Alien star John Hurt has passed away today at the age of 77. He had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in 2015, but at this time we're unsure if that was the cause of death. The British film legend was a beloved, Academy Award-nominated actor with an incredibly accomplished career spanning six decades.
Stranger Things took everyone by surprise when it debuted on Netflix last year. A hit with critics and viewers alike, it took no time at all for the series to receive a second season, and something everyone could agree on was that the future looked bright for breakout star Mille Bobby Brown.
We haven't got long now until The Walking Dead makes its return to AMC, and in hopes of drumming up some excitement for what's so far been a mediocre season, the cast and crew have been doing the press rounds and dropping a few hints as to what we should expect.
Kingsman: The Secret Service was a critical and commercial hit back in 2014, so the news of a sequel was welcomed by all. With an all-star cast that includes names like Channing Tatum, Halle Berry and Julianne Moore, Kingsman: The Golden Circle has all the makings of being even bigger and better than its predecessor, especially with breakout star Taron Egerton set to return.
When H.R. Wells arrived from Earth-19, it was quickly established that he had something to hide. It didn't end up being anything too sinister though, as we discovered that he was an author rather than a scientist, but next week's episode of The Flash looks set to see him answer for his crimes.
The CW's DC TV shows are now back for the second halves of their respective seasons, and executive producer Marc Guggenheim has been teasing some big things to come for each of them in the next couple of months. For starters, we now know that the villainous Black Flash will return in Legends of Tomorrow.
John Wick took in $86 million back when it premiered in 2014. It was hardly a number to stop the presses, but the film quickly became a cult classic of sorts and found itself with a rabid fanbase eager to see more of the titular hitman. As such, John Wick: Chapter 2 was born, with Lionsgate hoping to capitalize on the popularity of the original.
It was earlier today that we learned Bryan Singer will take the helm of the pilot episode of Fox's upcoming family drama set in the world of the X-Men, but now showrunner and writer Matt Nix has shed some light on the possibility of fan-favourite characters from the comic books (and presumably film franchise) showing up in the series.
