Five Nights at Freddy’s director Emma Tammi opened up about Josh Hutcherson’s casting in the upcoming supernatural thriller movie. In an interview with EW, Tammi shared that The Hunger Games vet had already been an early favorite during the early stages of the “intensive” casting process for the lead role in Blumhouse’s long-awaited film adaptation of the hit horror video game. "We went through an intensive process for this role, because he really anchors the whole film," she recalled. "I talked to Josh early on, and we just kept coming back to him.” The role of the security night guard ultimately went to Hutcherson, who Tammi praised for having "such a grasp for the character and gave Mike a real lived-in feeling, which was what the character needed. I'm excited for people to see Josh in a slightly new light." Tammi dir...

Fans and critics have shared opinions of the Underworld franchise, and Rotten Tomatoes is no exception. The Underworld series is made up of action-horror films revolving around the ongoing war between vampires and werewolves, each trying to destroy the other. Amidst this conflict, the love story between Selene, a powerful vampire, and Michael, a hybrid being, is a recurring theme. Throughout the series, figures on both sides prove to have hidden agendas. At times, it's hard to tell who is an ally and who is an enemy. One group may be on the brink of extinction, but this might just be what they want the enemies to think. Eventually, even humans learn of the secret war. The Underworld franchise, made up of at least five films and an animated short, has an interesting history. There have even been planned canceled crossovers with I, Frankenstein, Blade, and Resident Evil. Thanks to its fan base, an Underworld reboot had also been planned for the small screen. This is in addition to th...

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown embraces Supergirl's powers and joins James Gunn's DCU in stunning new fan art.

The creator credits for Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have been omitted from the opening title card ahead of the Season 7 premiere. Adult Swim released the new opening sequence for Rick and Morty Season 7 without the "created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon" credit seen in the previous six installments. The change comes after Adult Swim officially severed ties with Rick and Morty co-creator Roiland following allegations and charges of domestic abuse. While Roiland and Harmon's names have been removed from the title card, it doesn't mean they won't receive any credit at all. A similar approach was taken when Solar Opposites Season 4 was released. The title card no longer displayed Roiland and Mike McMahan's creator credits, but the duo was still credited within each episode. Although the domestic abuse charges against Roiland were dropped, a new report alleges that the Rick and Morty creator used his fame to pursue young fans. Eleven unnamed women and nonbinar...

Critics of Star Trek: Picard say the show focused too heavily on the Borg, but The Complete Series home release highlights why each story was crucial. The triumphant final season of Star Trek: Picard is finally available for fans to own on DVD or Blu-ray, but The Complete Series feels more "complete" than the disparate stories may suggest. Each season was a unique narrative and visual experience more akin to a movie series than a television show. While the journey Jean-Luc Picard takes is the obvious focus of the show, watching the complete series highlights why each season needed to include the Borg. Beyond being Picard's greatest enemy, it tells an important story about how Gene Roddenberry's ideal future dealt with the aftermath of such a destructive force. In the first season, the Borg are mostly a memory thanks to the events of the series finale of Star Trek: Voyager. The return of Seven of Nine, as well as another ex-Borg named Hugh from The Next Generation, hig...

A veteran member of the X-Men has such impressive adaptability and skill with his powers that he could easily qualify as an Omega-Level Mutant.

Sylvester Stallone addressed the possibility of starring in another Rambo movie, and it doesn't seem likely. John Rambo's days of combat are likely behind him, as Sylvester Stallone recognizes that he's getting too old to convincingly play the action-heavy role. In years past, Rambo has served as one of pop culture's most popular characters, going back to the release of the original film, First Blood, in 1982. Stallone would return as the enemy soldier slayer 1985's Rambo: First Blood Part II and 1988's Rambo III.

In the latest Comic Book Legends Revealed, see how close Bernie Wrightson came to becoming the original artist on Conan the Barbarian Welcome to the 910th installment of Comic Book Legends Revealed, a column where we examine three comic book myths, rumors and legends and confirm or debunk them. This time, in our second legend, we look into whether Bernie Wrightson had a real chance to become the original artist on Marvel's Conan the Barbarian series. The late, great Bernie Wrightson (number #33 in our recent fan voting of the greatest comic book artists of all-time) grew up as a fan of EC Comics' horror comics, as reprinted in the early 1960s, but one of the greatest earliest influences that Wrightson had was artist Frank Frazetta. In a 1982 interview in the Comics Journal with Gary Groth, Wrightson explained: GROTH: Did you study certain other artists, or was it just practice, practice, practice? WRIGHTSON: Oh, yeah, I think any other artist I ever looked at I studied to one e...

Aquaman 2 gives Black Manta a powerful new weapon, and the upgrade may be best on some of the King of Atlantis' comics from the New 52 reboot. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is Aquaman's next cinematic adventure, with Jason Momoa's take on Arthur Curry forced to defend his new underwater kingdom against an old enemy. It's also the last entry in the DC Extended Universe, which was somewhat known for its divergences from the comic books. Despite these changes to the source material, it seems that the next Aquaman is going all in on one of the hero's best comic books runs ever. Geoff Johns' run on Aquaman revolutionized the character, putting him back in the limelight and giving him the mainstream success needed to do away with his laughable reputation from beforehand. It heavily informed the first DCEU movie focused on the King of Atlantis, and that's seemingly going to be the case again. This can notably be seen in the movie's teasers, which showcase a fami...

Tokusatsu is usually reserved for live-action and not anime, though that may change with two popular manga, one of which is getting an anime. Anime is one of Japan's biggest cultural exports, but it's not the only form of media that the country is known for. Though some aren't as aware of the actual term, "tokusatsu" has also left Japan and gone to other countries in other forms. Known for brightly colored heroes and monsters of varying sizes, this genre showcases the Japanese take on superheroes. Strangely enough, however, it's not very common to see tokusatsu anime. That may finally change with two manga franchises, one of which is soon to receive an anime adaptation. Incorporating elements of current trends in both superhero fiction and anime/manga, Go! Go! Loser Ranger and The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World are some of the most blatant takes on animated tokusatsu in modern times. Given how successful one in particular has become, it may ...
