Though there’s a certain fascination toWarCraft,Duncan Jones' adaptation of the beloved Blizzard title, it did not, under any circumstances, turn the tide on video game adaptations. Now, all eyes are onJustin Kurzel’s adaptation ofAssassin’s Creed, another popular title, to break the curse once and for all. Considering Kurzel did such good work withThe Snowtown Murders, and worked so well withAssassin’s CreedstarMichael Fassbenderin last year’s Macbeth, there’s plenty of good faith that this one will at least come out better thanWarCraft, but we won’t know until December 21st arrives and the film hits theaters nationwide....

On May 8th, film fans said goodbye to actorFred Ward, who passed away at the age of 79. A veteran of the small and big screen for fifty years, Ward was a dependable, yet often underrated actor. His gritty look and gruff voice made him appear like a cowboy straight out of a Sergio Leone western (he was actually part Cherokee), and even though he first did appear in a few small Italian films early in his career, it was his roles stateside that we will remember forever....

The news came straight from the show’s superhero and villain asCharlie CoxandVincent D’Onofriotook the stage at Disney’s Upfront presentation to advertisers earlier this afternoon, not to rough each other up, but to deliver the exciting announcement....

Sadly,Paul Feig’sGhostbustersremake was not a big hit at the U.S. box office. It made a decent amount of money ($229 million worldwide), but not enough to warrant a sequel, especially when you look at how much it cost. That being said, it’s still a good movie, and it’s a shame that the economics didn’t work out so that a follow-up could break free of celebrating the original and finally tell its own story....

In anticipation of the release ofMankon December 4th, this week, Collider will be presenting original essays and features diving into the work of David Fincher. Hollywood doesn’t tend to give commercial directors the credit they deserve. Historically, the Herculean task of selling a product to millions of people through a 30-second ad shot on a relative shoestring budget with a skeleton crew is undervalued. Some creatives, however, rise to the top of the commercial industry....

WhenFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themwas first announced, we expected to hear or see some references to the originalHarry Potterfilms. The trailers even dropped the name Albus Dumbledore a number of times, as well as the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, who was referenced inThe Deathly Hallows. With four more sequels on the way, we know that Grindelwald will be making a physical appearance, and now Dumbledore himself has been confirmed to appear down the line, as well....

Hallelujah! The gorgeous ladies of wrestling, a.k.a.GLOW, will be returning for a second season, as announced by Netflix today. Though it took me a few episodes to really get intoGLOW, it was worth the wait – the show really found its rhythm once the women came together and developed their in-ring personas. The way the show also played its redemption narrative through hero and heel archetypes was pretty perfectly executed, and left plenty of room for more stories from this fantastic cast to explore in a new season....

The report also notes that one title being bandied about isSon of Kong, a sentence that fills me with sincere Lovecraftian dread. For those blessedly unaware,Son of Kongis the sequel to the original 1933King Kongthat arrived a mere nine months after its predecessor....
