20 Things You Didn’t Know About Supernatural

Supernatural, now in it’s 11th season, has a huge following. And what’s not to love? The series follows brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester as they fight demons, vampires, and other supernatural beings to keep the world safe, with the help of a rouge angel named Castiel (Misha Collins) and Crowley, the King of Hell (Mark Sheppard). Here are 20 intereting facts about the beloved series. Supernatural made it TV debut on The WB on September 13, 2005. The series is mostly filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Jensen Ackles was originally cast as Sam, but when Jared Padalecki auditioned for the part, Ackles was recast as big brother Dean.

The Asylum Presents Independent’s Day ?

The Asylum, the leading source of mockbusters, has a made a bold move, making their own version of Independence Day/ Independence Day: Resurgence to capitalize on this summers release of the second installment of the blockbuster franchise. In fact, I would not be surprised if there is a lawsuit in The Asylum’s near future over Independents’ Day. The Asylum released the trailer, but there is no information to be found, even IMDb is clueless about the film, at least we assume there is a film. We are not sure who directed, who stars or when it will be released. All we can tell you is that in the movie aliens are attacking earth, a woman is president, there’s a bald guy who’s important to the story and there a big alien ships shooting lasers. Oh, and the white house is destroyed, which looks a lot like a scene out of Independence Day. We will let you know when we learn
