Premiere Of ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ Canceled

The Jeepers Creepers franchise has been a source of controversy from the start. While the franchise has a lot of fans there are also a lot of people willing to forgo watching the movie due to writer-director Victor Salva’s past which includes a stint in prison for the molestation of a boy. Jeepers Creepers 3 is now approaching its September release. The upcoming premiere at the famous Chinese Theater has now been canceled. Promoter and organizer Kory Davis held a news conference Monday after receiving threats of protest. Someone contacted the theater saying that protests would not only be held the night of the premiere, but every day leading up to the screening. With the theater’s reputation being at stake they canceled the event. This is not the first time Jeepers Creepers 3 has been in trouble. Besides their trouble when the movie tried to film in Canada before ending up in Louisianna, there has been a petition circulating (you

Amid whitewashing controversy of his casting as asian comic book character Major Ben Daimo, Ed Skrein has departed the upcoming R rated reboot Hellboy reboot. Ben Daimo Ed Skrein Hollywood has had a rough history with the casting of white actors in non-white roles, and while I like Skrein as an actor (most notably in The Transporter reboot and Deadpool) I can applaud his decision to step down. Although I wouldn’t put it past Hollywood to cast another white actor in his stead. Seriously, guys, there’s plenty of Asian badasses out there who would rock the part. Not that was ever likely to see it….

‘It’ Projected To Smash September Box Office Records

After becoming the most viewed trailer in a single day with over 197 Million(!) hits, it’s perhaps not surprising that IT looks to be a huge box office hit. The Dark Tower flopping led to some fears about another major Stephen King project’s prospects, but it now seems those fears were unfounded with IT projected to bring in over $50 Million on its opening weekend. For a year that’s been very light on theatrical horror (other than the stellar Get Out and The Belko Experiment) IT is a welcome presence. The hype machine for this film has been going into overtime, and with only a few weeks left until release it’s reached a fever pitch. Quality wise, rather the film will float above its detractors to critical praise, or crash to the ground like a balloons popped by a critics needle remains to be seen. But even if it disappoints King fans,this film is going to make a lot of

‘Stranger Things’ Ending With Season 4

Nothing lasts forever, and that includes are favorite television shows. And sadly, it’s confirmed that the nostalgic hit ‘Stranger Things’ will be ending with season four. But before your grief turns you upside down, it’s good to realize that were still waiting on Season 2 to come out this Halloween, meaning we’ve got years of Hawkin’s A.V. Club adventures to follow. Notably none of this news is coming from Netflix, but from series creators The Duffer Brothers in an interview with Vulture. Why just four seasons?
