Fans were crushed when TV’s “Constantine” was canceled by NBC back in 2015 (we still hold out hope that a network will revive it). But the good news is that the animated “Constantine” series will soon premiere on The CW’s Seed streaming service. Matt Ryan will reprise the role of the iconic comic book character Constantine for the animated series which is said to be darker than the live-action version that we loved so much. The character will be closer to its Hellblazer roots. Ryan will also appear in the upcoming “Legends of Tomorrow” episode “Necromancing the Stone” as Constantine on March 24th. He’ll also appear in the series’ finale, comicbook.com reports. Don’t miss “Constantine”, arriving on CW Seed on March 24, 2018. Here’s a first look at the new series.

With the lackluster departure of Carl, the main focus of AMC’s top-rated show The Walking Dead, fans are now worried about if their favorites are even safe anymore! All that Chandler Riggs was doing was going to college and the writers lamely killed him off slamming the door in Riggs’ face preventing him from returning to the show. Well, now it seems two more favorites are going next. It’s been said before that contract negotiations are not going well with Lauren Cohan (Maggie) that’s leaving her future in the series in limbo. The biggest shocker of who may be leaving next is Danai Gurira who plays the sword-wielding Michonne. Forbs has reported or have made a convincing argument, that Gurira may end up leaving The Walking Dead soon. The reason why she’ll end up leaving will inevitably be because she’ll want to move on to other work as the offers for spots in movies will be rolling in now after

Many games in recent times have been given an HD reboot to be compatible with more recent gamming consoles, Resident Evil (Biohazard) has been given a complete makeover with an all new HD game called Resident Evil (Biohazard) HD Remaster that’s available on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One. This would be the game’s second makeover so I thought why stop with this game? There are some horror games in the past that I think are due for an “HD Remaster” makeover too. So here are a few games that I feel deserve a reboot into the HD age in no particular order. Alone in the Dark (PC, 1992) There is a game by the same title that was made in 2008 that’s part of the long game series, I’m talking about the original game that you played on DOS in the 90’s (real 90’s kids know this!) the game is actually considered the first survival horror game to be

Netflix has announced two new cast members for their dark “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” series adaption of the graphic novel, Variety reports. Unlike the ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ that aired from ’96 to 2003, this series will be a dark drama. Sabrina finds herself wrestling with her duel-nature, half witch, half human while trying to find her way she will fight the evil force that threatens her and her family. Chance Perdomo is set to play Ambrose Spellman, Sabrina’s warlock cousin from London. Ambrose has been put on house arrest by the Witches Council and is stuck in the funeral home where he lives with the Spellman women. ‘Doctor Who’ actress Michelle Gomez has been cast as Mary Wardell, Sabrina’s favorite teacher and mentor. When Mary is possessed by the devil’s handmaiden, Madam Satan, Ms. Wardell is changed into a cunning manipulator always tempting to lure Sabrina down a dark path. Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) will play Sabrina Spellman in

AMC’s zombie series The Walking Dead will be returning February 25th where the remaining fan base can see what happens to Carl and hopefully the conclusion of the war between Rick and Negan, the longest confrontation of the show. This confrontation may also be possibly the reason why last season’s rating was low. After the heartbreaking mid-season end that’s leaving many fans confused about the fate of Carl who was bitten by a walker (honestly I think fans will be disappointed since Chandler Riggs has since cut his hair and is attending college.). With many “what ifs” being put out on the internet trying to woo fans back to the series that seems to be running in circles and no longer progressing, it appears yesterday the show’s writers have reached desperation to attract fans. They will have a fully nude walker. Right now many people are leaning closer to the computer screen saying “go on…” while many others are collectively

Notice I left out any reference to “ownership.” Grammar Nazis love to focus on the improper use of “You’re” and “Your” and “They’re and There.” I suggest they look into the misuse of certain pronouns. Fans of any medium don’t seem to understand “Us” and “Them” or “We” and “They.” A sports example: The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 52.

The giant prehistoric Megalodon is everywhere these days. Author Steve Alten’s franchise is not only getting a new novel titled Meg: Generations, a comic, but also the film adaptation of Alten’s first book titled The Meg from director Jon Turtletaub. Alten himself has just confirmed that the trailer for The Meg will be swimming in sometime in March, followed by its theatrical release this summer. In the film, “A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is

We’ve been talking about Todd McFarlane’s upcoming Spawn movie for a while now, but news has now come that the film has made a giant leap towards actually happening. While talking with ComicBook.com, the character’s creator, McFarlane, revealed that casting has begun! We just officially the other day had our first casting meeting, and so what that means for anyone listening today is with the final script we’re going to start sending that into Hollywood to actually go pick up the cast members,” MacFarlane stated. He continued, “So what you do during those first couple of meetings is go through all the characters and then sort of throw some names and bat some names around for people you think might fit it. More specifically, are there actors or characters you’ve seen in other movies that you think fall into that pool, because all of that gives the casting director a picture so that they can go ‘oh, okay, I know

Back in December, we reported that a new Netflix series adaption of the comic ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ was on its way. Today we can report that lead role of Sabrina has been cast. Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) will play Sabrina Spellman in the dark, upcoming series that is already greenlit for two seasons. Shipka’s character has been described as: “An empowered young woman, half-human, half-witch, Sabrina is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High. Intelligent, compassionate and brave to the point of recklessness, Sabrina is all that stands between us and the forces of darkness that threaten our world.” The series is from the team behind ‘Riverdale’, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television. Aquirre-Sacasa penned the script for the pilot which Lee Toland Krieger directed. Unlike the ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ that aired from ’96 to 2003, this series will be
