What’s Going On In The World

  2. Peter Stormare Gives Update on ‘Constantine 2’: The sequel announced nearly 3 years ago has reportedly hit a roadblock with Keanu Reeves unhappy with current scripts that are more action heavy than the original movies tone.

  3. “Chronicle” Update Coming June 24 to ‘Phasmophobia’: Phasmophobia is getting a major update with Junes’ Chronicle. It’s overhauling it’s evidence collection which is… important? I don’t know I’ve never played it.

Trailers

  • Frankenstein: Unsurprisingly, Del Toro is putting together what looks to be a gorgeous retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic tale. And with that Netflix logo, you just know watching it in a theater will be nigh impossible.
