While The New Mutants is finally set to grace theaters in just about a month, one wonders in just what shape it will arrive.

Hey, remember The New Mutants? You’re forgiven if you don’t. We’ve only been reporting on the movie adaptation of the Marvel Comics property since, oh, 2012.

A lot has happened since then, so here’s a brief recap: Josh … Continue reading ‘New Mutants’: A New Trailer Is Arriving in January!!

The Globes are somehow the second most popular film awards ceremony of the year next to the Oscars, despite the fact that they’re largely kind of a joke.

The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone’s X-Men spinoff The New Mutants has certainly proven a headache for 20th Century Fox, and it’s one the studio has since passed on to Disney following the studio’s acquisition by the Mouse House earlier this year.

The 2018 Primetime Emmy Nominations have arrived! And they are, well, somewhat expected. Game of Thrones leads the pack with 22 total nominations, but that’s a bit misleading as a show this huge obviously scored a ton of technical nominations.

I’ve grown kind of numb to behind-the-scenes drama. I’ve seen movies that had no leaked drama turn out to be terrible and movies with lots of behind-the-scenes drama turn out to be good.

That’s why I wasn’t really moved when we reported last week that 50% of The New … Continue reading ‘New Mutants’ Reshoots to Bring Film Back to Straight Horror!!!
