Times Flies: What Makes David Cronenberg's 'The Fly' The Greatest Remake Ever ?
It is nostalgia time again here at Movie Pilot, as from tiny maggots do mighty flies grow. We take a look back at what made 1986's The Fly such a masterpiece and re-visit David Cronenberg's winged horror. With the tagline "Be afraid, be very afraid", how many horror-tots of today would know that such an iconic phrase originated with The Fly? As a staple of any good DVD collection, The Fly has been parodied, sequelled and talked about being remade for the past 30 years. This is how one director's horror-opus can still create a 'buzz' three decades later!

'90s Nostalgia: 'Rugrats' And The Tragic Story Of Melinda Finster!
Time to dust off your old VHS tapes and regress to childhood, as we're about to revist Rugrats - that colourful Nickelodeon show where a group of talking toddlers try and make a Great Escape from their play-pen every week. A staple of '90s Saturday morning television, Rugrats ran for nine seasons, had three feature-length movies and even a spin-off (All Grown Up) with the babies as teenagers. You had Tommy the plucky leader, who was joined by his bossy cousin Angelica, as well as Phil and Lil, his daring sidekicks. Then you had Chuckie - the scaredy cat who never quite seemed to fit in. In reality, Chuckie's backstory was more tragic we first realised, resulting in a saga that has gone on since 1991.

Andrew Garfield Is Happy He's No Longer Spider-Man, and Gives Tom Holland His Blessing
On the movie front, things appear to be going very well for Spider-Man! He had a great cameo in #CaptainAmericaCivilWar, and his approaching film, #SpiderManHomecoming, looks more and more amazing with every bit of news that’s thrown our way. Speaking of amazing though, in all this excitement, it’s very easy to forget that some movies and plans have been left by the wayside. Indeed, the 10th June 2016 was once the release date of the concluding installment in Marc Webb’s Amazing Spider-Man series.

15 Best Dumbledore Quotes Proves He Is the Master of Sass
As we all know, the #HarryPotter series has a reputation for its sarcastic characters, particularly Professor McGonagall and Severus Snape (both brilliantly portrayed by Dame Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman respectively), but Albus Dumbledore’s risible remarks are often overlooked, in favor of his inspirational messages. Which is a shame really, since apart from his amusing love of knitting patterns and his snacking on confectionery (sherbert lemon, anyone?) Dumbledore tends to serve up some of the best and most sensational sass in the saga.

Fan Casting a Young Dumbledore: Which of These Seven Actors Should Play Him in the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Series?
Accio 18th November! I’m sure that that’s the spell which many #HarryPotter fans would use if they could. Everyone is looking forward to seeing the upcoming adventures of Newt Scamander’s (Eddie Redmayne) in 1920s America in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Everyone knows that it will focus upon Scamander and his story, but the soon-to-be-five-movie series is also set to star a pair of characters we've heard a lot about: Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore!

Why Harley Quinn Has to Be in 'Suicide Squad 2': Five Stories We Hope for
The Suicide Squad train came and went, and while for many people the film didn't live up to the hype, it has still made a significant amount of money for Warner Bros. with $640.1 million dollars before crawling to the finish line. So, it was no surprise when David Ayer let it slip that Suicide Squad 2 was in the planning stages.

Is a Major Spider-Man Character Set to Cameo in ‘Homecoming’?
Prior to Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man (Tom Holland)'s role was shrouded in secrecy; this trait has certainly been carried over onto the production of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Apart from a few scant details, we know relatively little about which stories are being adapted and which characters will show up.
