Well, it always was too good to be true. While I usually try to avoid posting gossip and backroom dealings on this site, this info seems pretty solid, and it marks a major shift in the current studio system. After five films, including two solo...
Last year, David Gordon Green’s Halloween reboot/sequel took Hollywood by storm. By returning the series to its grounded, emotionally rich roots, the film made $255 million worldwide and becoming the highest grossing slasher, as well as the...
It’s been a few years since Ryan Murphy chose to spite Fox, the network that gave him a career and proceeded to screw him over, by signing with Netflix. Fans have eagerly awaited the newest project from the man who gave us Nip/Tuck, Glee...
