"Ghostbusters: Afterlife" Sequel Scores A Holiday Release Date

“Ghostbusters: Afterlife” Sequel Scores A Holiday Release Date

Earlier this year fans finally got a new sequel from the Ghostbusters franchise worth watching, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which was a vast improvement over the 2016 sequel that was hated by both viewers and critics alike. In the final moments of Afterlife it was teased that a sequel might be on its way, and well, it is and the premiere date has just been announced for the movie rumored to be set in New York. At the moment the cast remains unconfirmed but we wouldn’t be surprised if many or all of the cast of Ghostbusters: Afterlife return including Paul Rudd (Antman), Mckenna Grace (Captain Marvel), Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things”), and Carrie Coon (Gone Girl). Afterlife was directed by Jason Reitman, who co-wrote the script along with Gil Kenan. Afterlife centered on a single mom (Carrie Coon) and her two kids (Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace) as they move to their grandfather’s farm and discover their family’s ties to the Ghostbusters.

True Crime Inspired Series “Black Bird” Lands On Apple TV+ This Week

This week, Apple TV+’s highly-anticipated limited series “Black Bird,” a gritty, suspenseful psychological thriller, will make its premiere.

Sci-Fi Horror 'Dark Cloud' Is Out Now On Demand (Trailer)

Sci-Fi Horror ‘Dark Cloud’ Is Out Now On Demand (Trailer)

From director Jay Ness comes a terrifying sci-fi tale, Dark Cloud, out now On Demand from Black Mandala and Giant Pictures. The film highlights how technology far surpasses the human mind. An accident, rehabilitation and a beautiful woman who is part of an experiment in which she must face a smart home. Alexys Gabrielle, Brittany Benjamin, Emily Atack and Hugo Armstrong (Ted Bundy, “Fear the Walking Dead”), star in Dark Cloud, in which the most harmless and apparently practical for the human being, turns into a real nightmare. A shocking story that might become reality in the very near future and which among other things shows us how little by little we are disconnecting from reality. More oppressive than a “Black Mirror” episode. DARK CLOUD, written by John J. Kaiser, and produced by Jay Ness, Nicolás Onetti, Michael Kraetzer, Jeremy Wanek, Black Mandala, CutJaw Film Company, and Nocturnal Robo,t is now available On Demand in the US, Canada, the UK,
