The CW Is Planning A Charmed Prequel Series

Television audiences should prepare themselves to be bewitched once more, as The CW is reportedly bringing a long-gestating Charmed prequel to its schedule at an as-yet undisclosed point in the future. While the original series featured a contemporary setting, the prequel show will be set in 1976, and will possibly dispense with the familial connections between the main characters, in favour of a ‘found family’ situation.

Mark Gatiss Promises More Action Than Ever In Sherlock Finale

With perhaps the exception of those that love Twin Peaks, it's very possible that Sherlock fans are the most patient fans in history. Season 3 of the drama, created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, ended way back February 2014. Since then, audiences have had only a 2016 Christmas special – titled The Abominable Bride – to keep them going. Understandably, anticipation was high when the fourth season of the show finally arrived on screens on January 1st, 2017.

Ryan Reynolds Discusses The Future Of Deadpool

It cannot be denied that one of the most glorious cinematic success stories of 2016 was the triumphant release of Deadpool. Having been handed its green-light by 20th Century Fox on the basis of fan reaction to test footage, the movie ran an unprecedented marketing campaign, and became a giant, R-rated hit – thanks to a relatively low budget of $58 million, and a massive $783 million international box office haul. And that was without the lucrative marketplace of China, in which it was banned.

Rumour: Twin Peaks May Feature At The Sundance Film Festival

Clandestine marketing strategies can be something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, all publicity is good publicity – even when it is simply rumours and hearsay; but, the air soon leaks from a speculation bubble – and the popular regard of projects can eventually be damaged by over-exposure allowed to run rampant by studio and network officials. This is especially applicable to the most highly anticipated titles ahead of their respective releases, and the new series of Twin Peaks certainly falls into that category.

A Bad Moms Christmas Takes The Franchise Into The Holiday Season

Whichever way you slice it, Bad Moms was a commercial success when it was released in theatres in August 2016. That being the case, it is unsurprising that those behind it would seek to maximise on the opportunity, and build a franchise – especially when you have the excellent comedic chemistry between lead actresses Mila Kunis, Kathryn Hahn, and Kristen Bell at the heart of your project. So, we have the prospect of A Bad Moms Christmas, now set for November 3rd, 2017 – with the three leads returning, along with writers-directors, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore.

The Cruel Intentions TV Pilot Has Been Shelved

The end of the year is typically a time for reflection on the wins and losses of the previous 12 months, but as news breaks of the shelving of the planned Cruel Intentions TV pilot, it is not entirely clear which category that project would have fallen into. It seems that the show never made it beyond the ‘in contention’ stage, and instead fell through the cracks in the shuffle of cast options and attempts to find an appropriate home for it in the schedule. We now know that NBC officially passed on it in October, and that Sony TV has been trying to find a new home for it ever since.

Tomb Raider Movie Is About To Head Into Production

Say what you will about Hollywood – it still remains an industry that never gives up. Even in the face of repeated abject failure, movie executives continue to believe that the cinematic adaptation of video games is the holy grail of film production. The assumption that, if someone can just find the right combination of gaming source material, star and filmmaker, then that person will have solved a decades-old mystery, is a myth that simply refuses to die. Hence, we have anticipation for Tomb Raider.

Denis Villeneuve Talks CGI And The Rating Of Blade Runner 2049

When Warner Bros announced plans for a sequel to the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner, fans of that film were understandably concerned that the legacy of their beloved sci-fi classic might be sullied by a toothless follow-up, geared toward a new, younger generation of audiences. The intervening three decades have seen the stratospheric rise of the studio tent-pole, and the increased emphasis on the breaking of box-office records. Historically, this has been made possible by making films that appeal to as wide a demographic as possible, with necessarily less restrictive film ratings – but we can now rest easy that this will not be the case for Blade Runner 2049.
