First Look: Images From Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Adventures Of Pinocchio’

Brilliant filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, whose latest film, Nightmare Alley, has just opened in theaters. The creative genius is not wasting any time and has already moved on to his next project, a stop animation musical adaptation of the 1883 novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio, written by Carlo Collodi. The film is co-directed by Mark Gustafson (“The PJs”) and del Toro, who has teamed up with The Jim Henson Company as well as Netflix Animation for the project. Everyone knows the tale of Pinocchio and everyone knows that story is already a dark one. Del Torro is known for his dark and rich films which makes him the perfect person to make this movie and I’m sure he will find a way to create an even darker side of the tale that centers on a puppet who wants to be a real boy. Del Toro had this to say: [Nightmare Alley and Pinocchio] do have parallels. Obviously, ‘Pinocchio’ has a

The new prequel series to “Game of Thrones,” “House of the Dragon” has fans excited, but they aren’t the only ones excited about the series, George R.R. Martin, whose novels “GOT” is based on, is psyched. Martin, who has seen the rough cut, has teased that fans won’t be disappointed this time, and after the pathetic finale of “GOT,” that says a lot. On Martin’s blog, he reminds fans that even though there are several Marvel series, a “Lord of the Rings” series and Netflix’s adaptation of Neill Gaiman’s “Sandman,” “House of the Dragon” is at the top of IMDb’s most anticipated pole. He also had this to say: “I am anticipating ‘House of the Dragon’ pretty eagerly myself, for what it’s worth. Okay, I am hardly objective. And I know a lot of what you will be seeing.

The Legal Battle Over 'Friday The 13th' Is Over

The Legal Battle Over ‘Friday The 13th’ Is Over

The legal battle over Friday the 13th has been a long one, but it looks like it may actually be over. Friday the 13th 3 actor and entertainment lawyer Larry Zerner has been keeping fans posted as the battle over the rights to the classic has raged between Sean Cunningham/Horror Inc. and writer Victor Miller. According to Zerner, Cunningham failed to file a petition and that the rights belong to Miller. https://twitter.com/Zernerlaw/status/1476345331352674308?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1476345331352674308%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbloody-disgusting.com%2Fmovie%2F3697450%2Fbreaking-friday-13th-case-allegedly-officially-victor-miller-owns-screenplay%2F https://twitter.com/Zernerlaw/status/1476345334565523457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1476345334565523457%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbloody-disgusting.com%2Fmovie%2F3697450%2Fbreaking-friday-13th-case-allegedly-officially-victor-miller-owns-screenplay%2F So, what does that mean for the classic and the franchise? According to Zerner, unless the two come to an arrangement, we won’t likely see Jason again for a while. But do we really need to? Do we really need another reboot or crappy sequel? Miller could allow a studio to make a remake or reboot but Cunningham can’t make another Jason Vorhees movie without Miller’s permission and after the legal battle, that’s probably not going to happen.
