The Young Karl Marx Trailer Communism Gets The The Hot Young Makeover

‘The Young Karl Marx’ Trailer: Communism Gets The The Hot, Young Makeover By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 2, 2018 5:30 am EST First, it was a Young Pope, in the form of Jude Law. Then we received a Young Shakespeare, courtesy of TNT’s edgy series, Will. Then we were gifted Young Dumbledore, again in the form of Jude Law. I’m not suggesting that there is a cinematic universe of young, sexy versions of famous figures (the majority of them looking like Jude Law), but seeing the rollout of several film and TV projects centered around a “young” figure is a little funny....

Venom Will Be An R Rated Sci Fi Horror Movie

‘Venom’ Will Be An R-Rated Sci-Fi Horror Movie By Peter Sciretta/March 27, 2017 11:30 am EST My Entertainment World is claiming that the film will start shooting this fall, revealing that the project is in the genre of “Action/Horror/Sci-fi.” It’s a shame that Sony couldn’t (or maybe didn’t want to?) work out a deal with Disney to try to build their Spider-Man universe into something bigger, something that works within the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Daisy Ridley Thought Rey’s Parentage Was Revealed In ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ By Angie Han/Dec. 6, 2016 3:10 pm EST One of the big questions we had going into Star Wars: The Force Awakens was who, exactly, Rey could be related to… and one of the big questions we had coming out of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was still who, exactly, Rey could be related to. Although the character makes reference to a family that left her behind on Jakku, she doesn’t say who her parents are, and the film doesn’t spend much time dwelling on that aspect of her past....

It’s a fine metaphor for Sony’s long-gestating adaptation of the Uncharted video game series, which has been in development since 2009 and has burned through more writers, directors, and release dates than I care to include in this sentence....
