Way back in November 2008, we reported that Max Allan Collins, who wrote the graphic novel that the fantastic 2002 film Road To Perdition was based on, had written a screenplay for a film entitled Road to Purgatory, which he would also direct. At the time, Collins was also set to direct the film, which is based off his graphic novel sequel to Road To Perdition. I recently got to speak with Collins, who was promoting the Road to Perdition Blu-ray release that will hit the high-def shelves tomorrow, August 3, and I also asked him about the status of this film sequel, which seems to be moving forward....

Laura Kinney was the product of Weapon X’s 22 failed genetic experiments that attempted to recreate a being with Logan “Wolverine” Howlett’s death-defying genetic mutation. She was effectively a manufactured result of the government operation’s intention of introducing mutated genes into non-mutant humans. Kinney was born to her surrogate mother Sarah, who contributed her own DNA in order for Laura to exist. Upon succession of the experiment, Laura was viewed more as a weapon than a human being as she was sent on a globe-trotting mission as an assassin, following Dr....

ABC’s freshman comedy series The Neighbors has brought on director Michael Bay to guest star in an upcoming episode as himself. The move seems appropriate, since the filmmaker’s Transformers franchise and this show both revolve around aliens, albeit in much different ways. The director will pop up during a scene where Debbie Weaver (Jami Gertz) heads to a night club for an adult’s night out. Ironically, Michael Bay was mentioned by name in an earlier episode, where the Zabvronian couple Jackie (Toks Olagundoye) and Larry (Simon Templeman) seemed to hint that the filmmaker had some sort of connection to their alien race....

While the loss was mainly due to the streamer shutting shop in Russia, Netflix had previously forecasted that it would add 2....

According to The Argus, Patrick Stewart and screenwriter John Logan are teaming up to make a new theatrical version of The Merchant of Venice. I guess Al Pacino’s take just wasn’t good enough for them. The two are currently working on a theatrical performance of Macbeth together.

While The CW is best known for its Arrowverse shows and other teen dramas such as Riverdale, executive producer Greg Berlanti, who has been behind many of these projects and more for the last decade, seems to have come up against a formidable foe in trying to get the Powerpuff Girls off the ground....
