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.

Whisper in Elegy
Preface {TJ} "RUN!" It was the night of the blood moon, the forest was black and foggy. I can hear her breathing as she ran and I can smell her sweet blood. Her bloodcurdling screams, the fear in her eyes, and the chills that ran down her spine. Her long black hair, dark brown eyes that looked into my very own soul, and lovely skin. Skin that I want to rip apart and drink the blood from her very flesh. I've been awaiting for this night and now the time has come to free the inner monster within me; pale skin, eyes black as the night, long sharp black nails, fangs, and black wings of a demon. As the leaves crunched beneath her feet, I continued to fly low to become close to her to grab her. To my surprise she ran pretty fast for a human because as I had gotten close to tearing my claws through her skin, she'd manage to get further away from me. I had to think quick and fast. The longer this charade had gone on, the more angrier and bloodthirsty I became. She took one sudden look back at me as she ran, and when she did I saw the tears in her eyes.

Derma
“But does it jibe with it?” A confused look crossed Nicole Zecca’s face. “I think that if we rejigger the lenses and affix the sensors just right.…” said Billie Graff. She stood at about five feet three inches and possessed a skin the color of the cliffs of Dover. Her hair cascaded down her back in flaxen locks. Her grey-blue eyes penetrated with a sense of discovery. Nicole’s auburn hair was cropped and swooped around her head like a tiara. She was buxom and stood about five feet seven inches. Her tan skin looked like Himalayan pink salt. She took the skin from this particular project on which they worked, that looked like an opaque, skin-tight bodysuit with points of flexible graphene that served as sensors. It also came equipped with two cameras, a microphone, and the capacity to signal authorities in case of an emergency. The two inventors toiled, and toyed with the skin. A skin that could be attached to any man or woman who wanted to protect themselves from harassment and possible assault, is what they worked on through worrisome days and doubtful nights. They had tested on various heights, weights, and skin colors.
