Right In The Crown Jewels: Ryan Murphy Announces Royal Family Theme For 'Feud' Season 2
You had better start minding your Ps and Qs because Ryan Murphy's Feud is planning on taking a trip to the land of afternoon tea, corgis, and red phone boxes. We haven't even seen Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange lock horns as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, but the master of the anthology #RyanMurphy is already queuing up a second season of #Feud.

Tron Your Marks, Get Set, Go: Joseph Kosinski Says 'Tron 3' Isn't Dead Yet
Apart from a ride named after the film at Shanghai Disneyland, 2010's Tron: Legacy wasn't exactly the neon-filled finance-spinner that director Joseph Kosinski had expected. As one of #Disney's forgotten franchises, has anyone actually noticed that we haven't had a third #Tron film? Now, seven years later, and with still no sign of a sequel, Kosinski has offered an update on whether we will be going back into the arcade machine, or if we have run out of quarters.

'R' You Ready: James Mangold Talks About How He Made 'Logan' R-Rated
If it ain't broke don't fix it, but it if it's broke, burn it down and start again. In 2013 James Mangold was set the impossible task of scooping up the charred remains of Weapon-X from Gavin Hood's X-Men Origins: Wolverine and crafting some sort of sequel. Sending #Wolverine on a violent vacation to Japan, Mangold excelled in turning The Wolverine into something of its own entity rather than trying to salvage what was left after Origins. Even though Mangold wasn't happy with the finished product, The Wolverine was a much improved title, so when it came to directing a third chapter in #HughJackman's solo films, Mangold was clearly the right choice.

Don't Close The Book Just Yet: Why 'The Final Chapter' Won't Be The End Of The Resident Evil Franchise
Well, the T-Virus may have been given the flu shot while the evil schemes of the Umbrella Corporation go out to pasture, but the story from #ResidentEvil feels far from over. Scooping up a big gooey handful of brains and over $1.15 billion at the box office, #SonyPictures would be mad to let 2017's Resident Evil: The Final Chapter film be the "final" nail in the coffin.

The (Foot) Claws Come Out For X-23 In Latest 'Logan' TV Spot!
The anticipation is at fever-pitch, and while some of you might rather claw your eyes out than see another TV spot for James Mangold's upcoming Logan, the latest one could be one of the most X-citing yet. In and amongst shots of #HughJackman looking old and Patrick Stewart looking older, it looks like the new addition of Dafne Keen as Laura Kinney, a.k.a. X-23, can insert some new blood into the film.

Get Out (Again): As The Best Horror Of 2017, Will 'Get Out' Get A Sequel?
There's nothing like a bit of casual slavery to remind us just how relevant racial matters can be, while even the realms of horror films and slashers are no exception to the rules. Knocking at the door of 2017's white privilege comes #JordanPeele's Get Out, an eerie Stepford Wives for us millennials. The world of the Armitage Estate brings #Universal's film to life in Peele's directorial debut, which will surely kick start an illustrious film career for the 38-year-old.

'Logan' Soundtrack Reveals X-Tremely Interesting Spoilers
As James Mangold's Logan comes clawing onto our screens, the comic book universe is at fever pitch as #Fox prepares to show the MCU and DECEU exactly how to make a #superhero film. The third in the #Wolverine trilogy, #Logan brings #HughJackman back as the titular bub, while Dafne Keen premieres as Laura Kinney, a.k.a. X-23, the cloned daughter of Wolverine. The film looks to be a family road trip with Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier along for the ride, closing the trilogy as a perfect swansong to the past 17 years of Jackman as Logan. Promising to be Jackman's final time popping out his claws, many are left speculating whether Mangold would do the unthinkable and kill off the gruff Canadian?

If The Price Is Right: Katie Price To Appear In 'Sharknado 5'
Just when you thought it was safe to back into the water, along comes Katie Price to launch her acting career. As strange cameos go, the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen in Scary Movie 5, Michael Jackson in Men in Black II, and Quentin Tarantino in any of his films are all up there. Well, the latest casting for #Sharknado might just top that. Spinning onto our screens in a flurry of teeth and fins for a fifth film (yes, they made it to five), Sharknado 5: Earth O is presumably aiming to bring in an audience of masturbating teens by adding glamour model #KatiePrice to its cast.

A Flip Of The Coin: Billy Dee Williams Plays Two-Face (Again) In 'The LEGO Batman Movie'!
They say that patience is a virtue, and one man knows that more than many. It may have taken Billy Dee Williams 27 years for the pay off, but the 79-year-old actor will finally get to return to the role of Harvey Dent/Two-Face in upcoming The LEGO Batman Movie. He is the sadly forgotten Harvey Dent from Tim Burton's first Batflick in 1989, but rightly slots in among Aaron Eckhart and Tommy Lee Jones as the infamous rogue.

Meet The Prey Of Predator In First Image From Shane Black's 'The Predator'
Set your laser targeting for February 2018 because upcoming film The Predator has officially entered production. We will be smearing on mud and disappearing into the swamp for the sixth #Predator film, which unites Iron Man 3 director Shane Black with a cast that included Logan's Boyd Holbrook and The Newsroom's Olivia Munn. Sadly, it looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be back as Dutch, however, there is a new cast of casualties ripe for the hunting.

The Story Of The Lost Spider-Man Film And John Malkovich's Vulture
Is it a bird, is it a plane? Well, a bit of both — it's a jetpack-powered vulture. While Michael Keaton is currently soaring high as the villainous Vulture the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer, the road to Vulture taking flight has been a long fall from the nest. Homecoming may be the character's first live-action outing, but some may remember that we nearly had a very different Spideyverse, with someone else tipped to plume his feathers as Vulture — John freakin' Malkovich!

We Were Hoping Alpha Would Look A Little Beta In First 'Power Rangers' Concept Art
Do you remember those gooey aliens from the '90s we all thought if you rubbed their heads together, or incubated them in slime, they would reproduce? Well, looking at Dean Israelite's reboot of the Power Rangers franchise, it seems that is the look they were going for when creating shiny sidekick Alpha 5.
