Remember the days when it seemed impossible to get aNeil Gaimanadaptation off the ground? For years,American Godsgot passed around with dwindling hope it would ever get made, and theSandmanmovie is still hitting snags — the most recent beingJoseph Gordon-Levitt’sdeparture. Now that Gaiman’s fantasy epic iscoming to Starz, another title from the author’s massive library is heading to television. Amazon Studios announced today thatGood Omens, written by Gaiman andTerry Pratchett, will be developed into a six-episode hourlong comedy miniseries, which will kick off on Amazon Prime sometime in 2018....

As a longtime fan ofBob Odenkirk, I’m happy to report his new action movie,Nobody, kicks all kinds of ass. Unlike some movies where clever editing is often used to hide the fact that the main actor had to sit most of the action out, Odenkirk trained for two years to do all the fight scenes himself. So when you see him taking bad guys apart during a brutal and bloody bus fight, it really is Odenkirk doing the stunt work....

ThoughRiverdaleSeason 2 upped its game to include stories involving a serial killer, the mafia, and multiple local biker gangs, it often felt haphazard and confusing – and deeply unsatisfying....

Rule of thumb for IMDb: it’s very reliable for films that have been released; it’s very dubious for films that haven’t. While it would be nice if they were a little more rigorous when it came to listing upcoming projects, sometimes you have to go straight to the source to get some clarity. Steve Weintraub did just that when he sat down at 21 Laps Entertainment with the three folks that run the companyShawn Levy(Founder & Principal),Dan Levine(President) andDan Cohen(SVP) and put them in a “lightning round” asking about the status of 44 projects Levy has listed on his IMDb page....

New images fromMatt Reeves’The Batmanfilm have just been released ahead of the film’s March release, giving us a look at some of Gotham’s famous caped crusader’s most anticipated villains. The new images show an aesthetic that breaks from previous Batman iterations, combining the camp ofTim Burton’s vision andChristopher Nolan’s grittyThe Dark Knightseries while proving to be distinct from either film adaptation of the DC comic series. The first image shows a much more militant Riddler, wearing a full face mask and army jacket with a chalked on question mark, the only hint at the villain’s identity, a much more subtle take than Burton’s Riddler, played byJim Carrey, certainly, this is a departure from the spandex get-up that still haunt many millennial’s nightmares....

One of the storylines that most upset fans comes in Season 9, when the series’ central romantic couple Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) go through some pretty serious marital struggles.
