What’s This? Nightmare Before Christmas Is Getting A New Movie?!

Back in 1993, just in time for Halloween, Tim Burton‘s classic The Nightmare Before Christmas opened in theaters and became a classic. Directed by Henry Selick, the stop-animation film featured Fright Night’s Chris Sarandon as the voice of Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town. During the movie Jack discovers Christmas Town and decides to put his spin on the holiday, only to fail and realize that he belongs in Halloween Town with Sally. Since the movie achieved cult status, Disney has re-released it several times and even created a ride based on the movie at Disney Land. It’s a bit of a surprise it hasn’t gotten a spin-off or sequel yet, but something is coming according to Moviehole. Moviehole has a credible source that is reporting that Disney is “doing something with Nightmare Before Christmas – probably a sequel but a live-action adaptation is very possible.” Disney has been on a mission to turn their classic animated features into

‘The Dark Tower’ Series Begins Filming This Spring

It feels like every day we are reporting or giving an update on another Stephen King adaptation (not that we are complaining). Today we have an update on Amazon Studios’ upcoming series adaptation of King’s The Dark Tower. According to That Hashtag Show, the series is set to begin production this April in Croatia and will have a 13-episode first season. Casting is still being kept hush, hush at this point but it will be interesting to see who is cast in the roles of Roland and Walter. The 2017 movie starred Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, and while it had King’s support before the PG-13 release, after it opened in theaters he got very quiet. By the end of it, The Dark Tower only scored a mere 16 on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans were let down due to the amount of story that was left out due to time constraints and the way that everything was rushed to try to

First Details Of Jurassic World 3 Surface

We are headed back to a world where dinosaurs still walk the earth for the final installment of the Jurassic World trilogy with Colin Trevorrow back in the director’s chair. So what can we expect? If I could contextualize each film, I would say Jurassic World was an action adventure, Fallen Kingdom is kind of a horror-suspense film, and Jurassic World 3 will be a science thriller, in the same way, Jurassic Park Was.” Trevorrow said in a recent interview.” Franchise star Chris Pratt recently talked with MTV News about the third installment. I can’t say anything, but I can tell you when I heard the pitch, I was blown away. I can’t believe that we’re going to make the movie, and I can’t believe they found a way to deliver on the promise of the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Like, ‘Wait what?

Stephen King’s ‘Mile 81’ Getting An Adaptation

Stephen King adaptations just keep coming (not that we are complaining).
