4 hours ago
Director Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead remake was one of the more well received reboots in recent memory, and it did not have fans breaking the Internet, demanding his head. Even though the thriller didn't get a proper sequel due to original star Bruce Campbell and director Sam Raimi taking the franchise to the small screen with Starz' equally well-recieved Ash Vs The Evil Dead, Fede hasn't given up on the horror genre yet.

Fantastic Four 2 May Still Happen
6 hours ago
Several months before 20th Century Fox's Fantastic Four hit theaters, the studio announced plans for The Fantastic Four 2, setting a 2017 release date for the sequel. Unfortunately for the studio, Fantastic Four was a colossal bomb, taking in just $11.3 million in its opening weekend last August, en route to a disappointing $56.1 million domestic gross. The movie fared a bit better internationally, with a worldwide total of $167.9 million, but it still wasn't the big hit that the studio envisioned. Shortly after the release, rumors swirled that the sequel was canceled, and in November, the studio pulled the movie from its 2017 release schedule. As it turns out, though, the sequel may still happen.
There were other reports last year that the studio was pulling Fantastic Four 2 in favor of Deadpool 2, which is now certainly happening, after Deadpool took in $762.1 million worldwide. The last we heard about Fantastic Four 2 was in January, when star Michael B. »

Across five movies featuring The Predator, the elusive hunter has changed up his look ever so slightly. But for the most part, he has always been recognizable as the deadly killing machine first seen in the 1987 classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He also co-wrote Monster Squad with Fred Dekker, who is back to help Black with this new Predator reboot, which is confirmed to be a direct sequel to all of the previous movies.

12 May 2016 5:08 PM, PDT
Is now a good time for Space Jam 2? Director of the 1996 original Joe Pytka sure doesn't think so. Not because audiences aren't hungry for it.

LeBron James was officially confirmed to be taking over for Michael Jordan last week in a sequel to Space Jam that will pair the pro basketball player up with the Looney Tunes All-Stars. The original movie earned $90 million at the domestic box office when it was released in November 1996.
