Writer-Director Jordan Peele Speaks Out About The Social Commentary Of ‘Get Out’

Comedian turned writer-director, Jordan Peele is using his debut film ‘Get Out’ to open lines of communication about issues involving racism. In a new featurette (via Bloody-Disgusting) Peele explains why he made ‘Get Out’ and why the subject needs to be addressed. The film follows Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (Williams) who have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford). At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined. Daniel Kaluuy and Allison Williams star in the lead roles in the ‘Get Out’. Betty

Walking Dead Shirts Pulled From Stores Over Racism ??

Let’s face it, people are overly sensitive these days. There’s always something to bitch about. When it comes to ‘The Walking Dead’ there’s no shortage of what some people might find offensive, blood, guts, violence, sexual themes, and the list goes on. Back in October the Parent’s Television Council took up arms in an attempt to get the show removed from cable. Now, there’s new drama. Recently, a Methodist minister, Ian Lucraft and his wife wrote to Primark’s chief executive Paul Marchant, to demand that all official Walking Dead shirts with the “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe” quote be removed from stores. The reason? The couple says that the quote is racist. The source of their concern is that the song the line is taken from once went differently than the song most people know today. Now, people say “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe, catch a tiger by its toe…”. That’s not the original version. The song was once sang with that

Dracula Is Back For New Modern Series

Nick Wechsler and Joni Sighvatsson are teaming up to produce a new edgier, more political, adaption of ‘Dracula’ as a 10-episode series, Variety reports. Otto Geir Borg, whose film ‘Undercurrent’ won six Edda awards (Iceland’s version of an Oscar) will pen the series. The series, titled ‘Dracula Now’, is based on Valdimar Asmundsson’s reworking of ‘Dracula’ titled ‘Powers of Darkness‘, translated to English by Hans de Roos. The edition features a preface by Dacre Stoker, the great-grand nephew of Bram Stoker, and an afterword by horror scholar John E. Browning. In ‘Dracula Now’, the epic character will be a manipulative, seductive, megalomaniac who has come from Transylvania intent on conquering modern day Europe. Dracula Now will be an allegory of what’s happening today in the U.S., in the U.K. and in France,” said Sighvatsson, who is based in Los Angeles and heads up Scanbox with Thor Sigurjonsson and Chris Briggs. “It won’t be like a ‘Dracula’ spinoff because there’s no

So many people wanted to see Hellboy and his friends back for one more fight. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. At least we had the pleasure of knowing “Big Red”. Rest In Peace Hellboy…
