I’m going to make no bones about it, I’m a huge Stephen King fans and The Shining is one of my favourite films. Oddly enough, when I say The Shining, I mean Stanley Kubrick’s version, and not Stephen King’s remake, which is rather boring if you ask me.

The book is incredible and very chilling, and in 2013, King followed it up with a sequel, called Doctor Sleep, and it was both a terror and a pleasure to read.

Doctor Sleep sees Dan Torrance as a grown-up and things aren’t going particularly well for him to begin with. He suffers from alcoholism, just like his father before him, and he’s a long way from the gifted child we knew in The Shining.

However, he does manage to get his life back together and ends up becoming an orderly at an old people’s home where his gift (which he calls The Shining) comes in handy when helping people cross over.

Things take a bit of a turn when his power puts him in touch with a young called Abra who shares the same ability and they communicate telepathically.

It’s a really interesting book, and casting Ewan McGregor as Dan is a masterstroke. This trailer shows that director Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) really knows his stuff, and especially his Stephen King.

The trailer does make it look like this film is going to be a sequel to Kubrick’s The Shining, despite King having made it perfectly clear that he’s not a fan of the movie. They have reused shots from the original movie such as the iconic bloody lifts scene and Danny cycling around the Overlook Hotel.

It certainly seems like Doctor Sleep will be one to watch in what promises to be another good year of Stephen King big screen adaptations with It: Chapter 2 also coming out later this year.

The film also stars Rebecca Ferguson and Kyliegh Curran in her feature film debut. The cast includes Carl Lumbly, Zahn McClarnon, Emily Alyn Lind, Bruce Greenwood, Jocelin Donahue, Alex Essoe, and Cliff Curtis.

Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the games of E3 and Keanu Reeves’ cameo appearance during Microsoft’s conference promoting it certainly helped things.

However, there was a bit of controversy surrounding it afterwards, and it was all to do with the way the game portrayed a transgender character during one of its ads.

Many people took offence to the way the ad fetishized and even dehumanized trans people. However, CD Projekt Red has since come out and revealed that they would be addressing the issue as soon as possible and added that they never intend to offend people.

To begin with, CD Projekt Red’s Art Director Kasia Redesiuk told Polygon that the ad was meant to be a satire, and Kasia went on to add that they wanted to create more acceptance for trans people as well as those with non-binary genders.

CD Projekt Red’s Quest Director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, then told Gamasutra that Cyberpunk 2077’s character creation tool would give players as many options as possible, including non-binary options.

“One of the things we want to do in the final game (which we couldn’t show in the demo yet, because as you mentioned it’s a work in progress) is to give the players as many options of customization in the beginning of the game as we can,” he told Gamasutra.

“For example, we want to do this thing where, as you create your character, after you choose the body type, you can, for example, use physical traits as you build your face that could be assigned to a man or a woman.”

Tomaszkiewicz then added: “The idea is to mix all of those [options] up, to give them to the players, as they would like to build it,” he explained.

“Same goes for the voice. We wanted to separate this out, so the players can choose it freely.”

“We are paying a lot of attention to it, we do not want anyone to feel like we are neglecting this, or treating it wrongly,” he finished.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be available to play on Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Microsoft Windows on April 16, 2020.

Is there a huge Hollywood franchise that Samuel L. Jackson hasn’t starred in? He’s Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is already a pretty big deal, but before that he starred as Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels.

Those are without question two of Hollywood’s biggest franchises ever, and Jackson has been in both of them. However, Windu’s ending in the Star Wars movies was a bit of an anti-climax.

He was supposedly the strongest Jedi ever, and he ended up being thrown out of a window by Emperor Palpatine after Anakin Skywalker had chopped off his hand, and then it was all over for poor old Windu.

However, Jackson’s since been adamant that the Jedi Knight is still out there and that Anakin and Palpatine never got the better of him, which would make sense. The current theory is that Windu went into hiding after having had his backside thoroughly handed to him.

The actor has now revealed during a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that he’d love to play the role again in the future.

“I’d really love to give one more run at Mace Windu in Star Wars,” he said.

There had been rumours that Mace Windu was going to get his own spinoff show a few years back. This rumour came after director A.J. Edwards (The Better Angels) revealed he was in talks with Lucasfilm about directing a Star Wars movie.

He then went on to reveal that this spinoff movie would focus on Mace Windu, but all’s gone quiet on that front ever since Disney and Lucasfilm decided to cool it with the Star Wars spinoff movies.

That said, the fact that Jackson is still interested in tackling the role means there might be the possibility of seeing a Mace Windu movie or even a TV show appear on Disney + which wouldn’t be a bad place for something like that.

It was announced last week that Lucifer would be ending after season 5, just one year after it was saved by Netflix.

The show was originally aired on FOX, and then it was rather abruptly cancelled by the network.

Yet, fans then took to the Internet (Twitter mostly) and demanded that the show be saved since many people felt it had been cancelled prematurely.

This was when Netflix swooped in to save the day and the show. Lucifer, which stars British actor Tom Ellis as the lead, then got 10 extra episodes for season four.

Fans seemed to be quite happy with the show’s new home, but Netflix then announced that they were renewing the show for a fifth season, but that it would be the show’s last.

It all seemed to be very amicable, with the show’s executive producers revealing that it gave them time to finish the story they wanted to tell.

Lucifer fans aren’t happy about the cancellation

“We’re thrilled that Lucifer fans around the world have embraced this series on Netflix, and we can’t wait to give them the big finish they’ve all been waiting for,” Netflix said in a statement.

The series’ executive producers also had something to say about the news of Lucifer’s final season airing on Netflix.

“We are so incredibly thankful to Netflix for resurrecting our show last season, and now letting us finish the story of Lucifer on our terms,” series executive producers Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson said.

“Most importantly, we want to thank the fans for their incredible passion and support. The best is yet to come!!”

However, fans don’t seem to be too happy with this news, and many of them have taken to Twitter to complain about Lucifer coming to an end.

One fan wrote: “What makes me so angry is that I don’t understand WHY. Don’t we deserve just that honesty, after all we’ve been through?”

Another one added: “Is it the writers’ decision or @Netflix? I desire to know, as much as I desire #LuciferSeason6.”

A third fan shared a similar sentiment, writing: “Let’s join Lucifer In praying for a #LuciferSeason6 there has to be some way to make @netflix or @warnerbrostv give this amazing show the extra seasons it truly deserves. Better the devil you know… #SaveLucifer.”

Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring fanart, Lily ! What makes me so angry is that I don’t understand WHY. Don’t we deserve just that honesty, after all we’ve been through? Is it the writers’ decision or @Netflix? I desire to know, as much as I desire #LuciferSeason6

— LuciferAddicted (@IrinaClaussen) June 8, 2019

Could the fans save the show from cancellation a second time? Could Lucifer be resurrected a second time, or does Netflix’s cancellation spell the end for the show? I think this could be it for Lucifer, unfortunately, even if he is the Devil.

Lucifer stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Scarlett Estevez and Kevin Alejandro.

Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic, Dune, is coming to the big screen next year and Denis Villeneuve is directing it. The film will star the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård and Dave Bautista.

However, it looks like Warner Bros. are also keen to bring Dune to the small screen as well and it’s now been revealed they’re looking to make a TV spin-off of the movie.

Yet, this TV spin-off series will be female-led and will be called Dune: The Sisterhood and it will be coming to WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service.

This news comes from Variety who reported that the spin-off series will serve as a companion series to the upcoming Dune movie.

It’ll portray the events of Frank Herbert’s novels through the eyes of the Bene Gesserit which is a rather mysterious clan of women.

Sting in Dune

It’s also been revealed that director Denis Villeneuve, who also directed the likes of Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival, will helm the series’ pilot episode.

He’ll then serve as an executive producer on the show, and he revealed in a statement: “The Bene Gesserit have always been fascinating to me.”

He continued: “Focusing a series around that powerful order of women seemed not only relevant and inspiring but a dynamic setting for the television series.”

People, myself included, have been looking forward to watching the first season of DC Universe’s upcoming TV series, Swamp Thing, yet the anticipation has been muted slightly when it was revealed that Warner Bros. had decided to pull the plug on James Wan’s show, meaning that they’ll only air the first season.

This means this upcoming season will also be the show’s last, and there hasn’t really been an explanation behind the rather abrupt cancellation.

Executive producer, James Wan, is especially confused by the whole debacle and took to Instagram to reveal his frustrations behind the cancellation.

Wan wrote in an Instagram post: “Don’t really know or understand why #Swampthing was cancelled, but I can tell you this — all the cast and crew, and producing/writing team poured their hearts into this.

“Really proud of everyone’s hard work. Go watch episode 2, and immortalize these 10 episodes. Swampy deserves it.”

A post shared by James Wan (@creepypuppet) on Jun 8, 2019 at 6:09pm PDT

Swamp Thing’s cancellation came after it was revealed that Warner Bros. had cut the season short. It was originally intended to be thirteen episodes long, but they decided to only air ten of them, which really makes no sense at all.

The only possible explanation is that executives at the studio weren’t best pleased with what they saw and decided to cut their losses before it’s too late.

However, the Swamp Thing trailer made the show seem very interesting indeed, and it just seems a shame to lose a show before it had even properly begun.

Anyway, Wan seems to be proud of what he and his team have made, and so they should. I for one will be watching the show with keen interest.

That said, it will prove to be rather difficult to watch over here as it won’t be broadcast in the UK as DC Universe is still no available outside of the US.

It’s been revealed that Netflix has renewed Lucifer for its fifth season, but sadly it’ll be the show’s last.

Lucifer was previously on FOX, yet they cancelled it a year ago, but fan pressure persuaded Netflix to swoop in and save the show.

A similar fate happened to Brooklyn Nine-Nine which was saved by CBS, not Netflix.

This meant that season four of the procedural crime drama with a sadistic twist aired on Netflix, and they’ve recently announced that there will be a fifth season.

The show, which stars Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, has proven to be incredibly popular with fans and the first three season can be currently viewers on Amazon Prime Video here in the UK.

The show is based off a comic by non-other than legend Neil Gaiman, who has another celestial-based show airing on Amazon Prime in Good Omens.

Lucifer season 5 is happening!

Netflix recently released a statement, via Deadline, explaining their decision, and it’s been revealed that the show’s creators and writers will get to finish the story they wanted to tell.

“We’re thrilled that Lucifer fans around the world have embraced this series on Netflix, and we can’t wait to give them the big finish they’ve all been waiting for,” Netflix said in a statement.

The series’ executive producers also had something to say about the news of Lucifer’s final season airing on Netflix.

“Most importantly, we want to thank the fans for their incredible passion and support. The best is yet to come!!”

Back when the show was cancelled, it was the number one trending topic on social media and Netflix didn’t take too long to pick up the series.

Season four has proven to be one of the show’s very best yet and fans will be excited to see how it’ll all end when season five airs sometime next year.

Lucifer stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Scarlett Estevez and Kevin Alejandro.

Say what you will, it’s been a very good time to be a Star Wars fan over the last few years. Not only have we been given a new Star Wars trilogy, but Disney also handed us some Star Wars spinoff movies, just for fun and a few extra quid.

Those spinoff movies may not have been an overriding success, and some fans didn’t like what Rian Johnson did with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but they’ve still all be a damn sight better than the prequels (sorry prequel apologists, but those films were terrible, there’s no getting around that fact).

Star Wars directors

However, once this current trilogy comes to an end with The Rise Of Skywalker, Disney will be thinking about their future Star Wars movies, and things aren’t looking entirely clear as far as those movies are concerned.

Rian Johnson is reportedly working on a new trilogy, as are Game of Thrones creators, David Benioff and D.B Weiss, but people aren’t too happy with that idea after the final season of the popular HBO show.

This means that there could be room for other directors and creators to get their hands on the Star Wars property and do something interesting with it.

So, with that in mind, I decided to come up with a list of five directors I feel would make excellent movies set in a galaxy far, far away.

5. Alfonso Cuaron

When you look at the films Cuaron has made, you can’t help but marvel at how talented and versatile the man in. Children Of Men, Gravity, Roma, and before that he proved what a talent he was with Y Tu Mamá También. He also showed that he’s perfectly capable of directing a big Hollywood blockbuster which also happens to be part of one of the biggest movie franchises around when he did Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. That film also happened to be one of the best films in the Potter franchise. Personally, I consider it to be the best, but that’s just my own opinion.

Cuaron would make a visually stunning Star Wars movie and one which would also make you think. He’s great at delivering spectacle and getting actors to deliver their best performances. And with Roma, he proved that he’s also a pretty good director of photography, despite not being qualified for the job.

4. Taika Waititi

What can you say about Taika Waititi that hasn’t already been said? The guy is a great actor, writer, director, he’s rather dashing and incredibly funny. He’s the whole package. It’s already known that he’s on Lucasfilm President’s list of potential Star Wars directors, and they’d be lucky to have him.

He started off by directing a lot of shorts, and then made Eagle vs Shark, which led him onto directing episodes of the HBO comedy series, Flight of the Conchords. He’s since made What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt For The Wilderpeople and, of course, Thor: Ragnarok. He’s currently working on a film called Jojo Rabbit which sounds absolutely bonkers and features Waititi as the voice of an imaginary friend called Adolf Hitler. He’s also in line to direct the Akira movie and is directing an episode of the Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.

It’s no stretch to think that he could be promoted to directing a Star Wars picture, and the film he would make would certainly be worth watching.

3. The Wachowski Sisters

I honestly can’t think of two more ambitious directors working in Hollywood today. They changed the modern blockbuster forever when they released The Matrix, and they have carried on pushing the boundaries on cinema and television. Cloud Atlas is a movie that anyone interested in science fiction should watch. It may not be brilliant, but it was an impossible film to make, and they did it.

They only ever make what they want to make, and that’s resulted in some of the most ambitious and bizarre films you’ll ever see. The Matrix, Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending are all mad in their own ways and some may be better than others, but they all have flare and are all worth watching. Yes, even Jupiter Ascending.

However, some of their best work, in my opinion, was done in their Netflix series Sense8 which was cancelled unfairly and far too soon in my view. They would make a bonkers, but incredibly important Star Wars film if they were given the chance, and I genuinely think the franchise would be better for it.

2. The Russo Brothers

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and now Avengers: Endgame. That’s a CV that any director would be very proud of. Anthony and Joe Russo pulled off the impossible with all of these movies and completely changed the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I highly doubt that it would be where it is today without them.

They’ve shown that they can handle practically anything that’s thrown at them. Given the fact that before The Winter Soldier they had just done episodes of Community, what they’ve achieved is even more impressive.

The last two Avengers movies, in particular, demonstrated that they have an ability to bring together a huge cast of stars and make it work, and that’s not easy. I’d be very interested to see what they could do with a property like Star Wars. Imagine the results in the Russo Brothers were given the keys to the Millennium Falcon? It really would be something to write home about, at least, I think so.

1. Denis Villeneuve

Image via Getty

Is there anything that Denis Villeneuve can’t do? That’s a genuine question because when it comes to filmmaking I actually believe that the man’s a genius. Just look at all the incredible films he’s made in a relatively short career. Incendies, Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049. They’re all brilliant. He’s now working on what will be arguably the biggest film of his career in Dune, which is a retelling of Frank Herbert’s novel.

Blade Runner 2049 was a perfect film, as was Arrival, and he demonstrated his unique ability to get the best out of actors in films like Prisoners and Sicario. There isn’t a more exciting filmmaker working in Hollywood today and I’m sure that Katheleen Kennedy has been dying to get him involved in the Star Wars franchise somehow. Apart from Christopher Nolan (yes, he’s not on this list. I happen to think he’d do a better Bond film than Star Wars one), I cannot think of anyone as exciting as Villeneuve working in film today.

Sonic The Hedgehog’s first trailer came out a few weeks back and it safe to say that it didn’t go down very well with fans.

The character design was, let’s call it, odd, and fans thought it looked really off and were desperate for the studio to change it.

The film’s director, Jeff Fowler, then took to Twitter to tell fans that they have been heard and they’ll change the character design.

“Thank you for the support. And the criticism,” he wrote.

He added: “The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes.

“It’s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be…”

Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be… #sonicmovie #gottafixfast

— Jeff Fowler (@fowltown) May 2, 2019

This is the first time that I can remember fan pressure actually resulting in the creators changing the movie before release.

The Sonic The Hedgehog trailer went down so badly that a very devoted fan decided to take it upon him or herself to change it and add in the cartoon version of the character.

The crazy thing is that the trailer is much much better than the original one, and all the fan did was swap out the old, bizarre looking Sonic with the cartoon one.

Marvel Studios is now one of the biggest, if not the biggest, studios in Hollywood today, but it could have all be so very different.

Before Marvel made Iron Man they were in some dire straights, having to sell off their comic book properties to other studios for rock bottom dollar just to stay afloat.

That’s how the X-Men and The Fantastic Four ended up with 20th Century Fox and how Sony got Spider-Man. This meant that in order to start what is now the biggest movie franchise around, Marvel had to dig deeper into their comic book properties.

Before Iron Man was made, he was a B-list character, as was Captain America, which is crazy to think now.

Another one of those Marvel characters was Moon Knight, yet he never got a big screen makeover, yet it looks like the wait might soon be coming to an end.

According to Screen Rant, Moon Knight will be featuring in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) very soon, most possibly in Marvel’s Phase Four of movies.

It’s not clear whether he’ll get his own movie. What’s more likely is that he’ll be introduced in another film and will probably get a standalone movie in Phase Five.

Moon Knight could be in the MCU

There was talk that Moon Knight get his own Netflix series, yet with Disney + on the horizon, it’s more likely that he could show up in one of the many Marvel TV shows they’re planning.

What is certain is that Marvel’s President, Kevin Feige, is planning to bring him to the big screen, but it’s just not certain when that’ll happen.

“Yes,” Feige replied when Screen Rant asked him whether the character will be part of the MCU in the near future.

He continued: “Does that mean five years from now, 10 years from now, 15 years from now? There are stacks of character cards that we have in our, in our development offices, which we look at. Which we pull for him, which we discussed.”
