We're Clover The Moon: Is J.J. Abrams's Next Cloverfield Film About Zombie Nazis?
Everywhere you turn nowadays you can't move for zombie movies, zombie TV shows, and Greg Nicotero filling your Instagram feed. While Resident Evil may be finally closing its doors (for now), every other week another slow-walking zombie film lands itself on the production slate. Well, gore-fans can rejoice because a very exciting zombie project is just on the horizon, but try not to get too "Cloverexcited."

Outrun Stories #32
It’s a mid-night sky but since the server towers went down it’s never really got dark. They’re still trying to figure that out, something to do with the amount of silicone dust that was released into the atmosphere. All I know is that I sleep all day, because when I wake up for the new-night, there’s a tyrian haze of deep purple that covers the sky when I step outside and look up.

3 Reasons Why 'Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith' is Amazingly Important to the Franchise and My Favorite
In 1988 I was first introduced to Star Wars thanks to my parents. It's a series that they had shared with me out of reluctance, but not because of the fighting, the magnificent battles, or even the ideology of the monk-like Jedi. It was rather a reluctance due to my obscene love for everything Dune and Top Gun.

Back To The Future(world): Where Could 'Westworld' Visit Next?
Fans of #HBO's #Westworld will know that the expansive world of Delos doesn't just revolve around Dolores and co.. Michael Crichton's 1973 film established that there are whole other theme park worlds, meaning that the wealthy aren't just confined to blowing the brains out of brothel madams in a great American Adventure. We had Romanworld, Medievalworld, Futureworld, and Spaworld for the discerning guest.

Har Har Binks: 'Scary Movie' Writers Developing Star Wars Parody Film
In a galaxy that is unfortunately not so far away, the team behind Scary Movie is developing yet another parody film, and this time it is the world of George Lucas coming under fire — get ready for helmet jokes galore. Director/writer duo Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer will direct a #StarWars parody under the title Star Worlds Episode XXXIVE=MC2: The Force Awakens The Last Jedi Who Went Rogue. Is nothing sacred anymore? Unsurprisingly the film will riff off the more recent adventures of the Skywalker clan and undoubtedly be littered with Jar Jar Binks cameos.

All Fetts Are Off: This Is How Close We Were To Josh Trank's Boba Fett Star Wars Story!
Crawling out of the Great Pit of Carkoon, and rising from the stomach of the Sarlaac, it's more of those #StarWars Boba Fett solo film rumors. Another shot to the heart comes with confirmation that Josh Trank's (now departed) Star Wars Story would have centered around the galaxy's most infamous bounty hunter. With the announcement of three Star Wars anthology films in 2015, rumors were rife that the upcoming #RogueOne would be joined by a #HanSolo coming of age adventure (tick) and a Boba Fett caper (cross).

A Director With 'Bite': Why David Fincher Is The One To Save 'World War Z 2' From The Apocalypse!
Don't be tooling up for another round with Brad Pitt and zombies just yet, fans, because Paramount Pictures has thrown a spanner in the works for the hotly anticipated World War Z sequel. With Paramount pulling the sequel from its 2017 schedule, and with no further release date, it looks like someone has administered an anti-virus to the project; however, with the film seemingly facing extinction, could there be a director in shining armor here to help? Following the first film's release in 2013, World War Z 2 has been "plagued" with problems, but don't get yourself in a pandemic just yet, reports are swirling that Se7en's #DavidFincher is "very creatively interested in directing the movie,” leaving the ball in #Paramount's court. Your serve, Hollywood!

These Violent Delights: What About Guest-On-Guest Violence In 'Westworld'?
The first rule of #Westworld Fight Club is, "you don't talk about Westworld Fight Club." Where the robo-romp of #HBO's latest addiction may be great for letting off some steam on the toaster or the TV, for those who feel like knocking seven bells of sh*t out of your fellow man, you had better find somewhere else to spend your family vacation. Delos has a strict policy on its guest-on-guest violence, but I hear Disneyland has a lax policy on underground beat em' ups.
