‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Featurette CeIebrates IMAX & Michael Bay’s Collaborative History!!! Check It Out!!

Whatever anyone might say about the substance of Michael Bay‘s films, the man is undeniably an auteur of sorts. His films have a very specific look that has influenced hundreds of filmmakers, especially in the action and science-fiction genres.

‘Westworld’ Renewed for Season 2 by HBO!!!

It’s not a huge surprise that HBO has renewed its ambitious drama series Westworld for Season 2. The show has captured the imaginations of fans by not letting us know the details of its game yet, as its story is peeled back layer by layer with every new episode. In many ways it’s reminiscent of True Detective‘s first season, where the show’s mythology started to overtake its story … Continue reading ‘Westworld’ Renewed for Season 2 by HBO!!!

HBO is gearing up for the premieres of its hugely anticipated series Westworld by dropping some more teasers and featurettes, though still keeping things pretty close to the vest.

‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Tackling Nazis, Mini-Dinobots, and King Arthur!!

As if a story based on giant sentient machine lifeforms who can morph into a variety of Earth-based vehicles and transform in order to engage in unending combat wasn’t insane enough, it seems that the writers of Transformers: The Last Knight have decided to include two more genre favorites: Nazis and dinosaurs. Now, granted, Transformers: Age of Extinction did manage to sneak the fan-favorite Dinobots into the script, though … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Tackling Nazis, Mini-Dinobots, and King Arthur!!

‘Westworld’ Showrunners Have a Plan in Place for 5+ Seasons!!!

HBO’s new series Westworld is poised to be the heir apparent to Game of Thrones once that epic story comes to a close.

‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Introduces an Unlikely Hero!!

Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise has certainly had some colorful characters over the years, though not all of them have been well received by moviegoing audiences.

HBO’s planned series adaptation of Michael Crichton’s 1973 film Westworld has been in various stages of development since at least the summer of 2013. The project really started to heat up when its excellent cast–one that includes Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, and James Marsden–started to firm up, and it was then confirmed that the show would feature “genital-to-genital touching.” That’s quite the tagline. Unfortunately, production was then halted earlier this year, complicating the planned 2016 … Continue reading ‘Westworld’ Confirmed to Debut on HBO This Fall!!
