#GamingNEWS Alone in the Dark - Official Extended Gameplay Trailer

 New gameplay trailer for the shaping up-nicely reboot of Alone in the Dark! And I can't wait for it!!

It looks super good!!!

#FightingNEWS Mortal Kombat 1 - Official Announcement Trailer

 Following the recent modern trilogy of Mortal Kombat games which introduced a lot of time travel shenanigans and retconning stuff, we ended the last game with SPOILER ALERT Liu Kang resurrected as a Fire & Ice God and Raiden stripped of his immortality. 

Now we're going back in time for an alternate Mortal Kombat 1 (again..). At least it does look really good.

Check it out!

I actually really wanna check out the plot goes on.. but I feel like we're stuck in MK 1-3 era forever these last few games.. I kinda want to see the villains and characters of the 3D era of MK games at some point return as well..

#CartoonNEWS Velma | Official Trailer | HBO Max

 The rather... "unique" Scooby-Doo spinoff Velma is almost here. Here's a first proper official trailer to showcase the concept:

Aside from whatever you might think, I kinda like Velma's (and only Velma's) design. Bring in the fanart, peeps!

Honestly the actual only complaint I have about all this is... there's no Scooby-Doo! Why make a Scooby-Doo show without Scooby-Doo? This could have been easily tweaked into any other vintage teen team mystery solvers, like for example "The Archies"!

#HorrorNEWS Evil Dead Rise – Official Trailer (Red Band)

The second Evil Dead reboot (or spinoff? side-quel?) is here. Here's the Red Band Trailer to check out all the gore and horror coming our way:

They say it's a new installement in the Evil Dead universe, but from the visuals, the tone and the design of the book this actually looks more like a second entry in the Evil Dead remake series.

Just let the Kandarian demons be Kandarian demons and not just mindless Hollywood monsters...

Can't wait!

#HorrorNEWS Hellraiser | Official Trailer | Hulu

 The Hellraiser "soft reboot" is actually looking pretty great. Faithful to the original 4 films and Clive Barker's work. And I dunno, maybe I'm easily sold on that following the last few awful Hellraiser cheap sequels...

 

The puzzle box looks fantastic and expanded upon. The classic theme is back.

I really dig this, plus I like to see return some classic and obscure Cenobites mythos. Wait and see..

#MovieNEWS Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer #1 (2022) | Movieclips Trailers

So there's gonna be another TCM film. And yes, it is yet another reboot.. I dunno how to take this in. I loved the two first films, for different reasons, but I'm kind of tired of this series. Is this what's awaiting to happen to all other long-running film franchises?? 

Anyways, here's the trailer:

Coming directly to streaming, made by a no-name director and random film studio.. Release Date: February 18, 2022

#HorrorNEWS Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Trailer - Nightmare (2021) | Movieclips Trailers

The upcoming Resident Evil film reboot is looking pretty nice, so far. It actually seems to stick closer to the games this time (a mashup of the storylines of RE1 and RE2 it seems). But, I dunno, it's coming from the exact same production studios as the previous Paul Anderson films, so... wait and see!

The movie's coming on November 24.

#MovieNEWS HOME SWEET HOME ALONE Trailer (2021)

 And to end on a completely different note,

Now that Disney acquired the Home Alone franchise (with the 20th Century Fox bid), they quickly rushed a new sixth (6th???) film to cash in Xmas time:

I still wish they'd gone with the rumored Macaulay Culkin-return sequel.. Sigh..

#DCnews THE BATMAN – Main Trailer

Wow! I wasn't expecting this today!

Looking actually pretty dope!

#DeletedScenes Crash-N-Burn Proof of concept 2014 (Big Red Button)

 Add this one to the pile of canceled Crash Bandicoot sequels. There's a few scrapped Activision Crash games. A sequel/reboot by Traveller's Tales after Twinsanity. Another reboot by Radical. And now we got this proof of concept by Sonic Boom-developpers Big Red Button.

In fact a lot of elements here, including the scenery, reminds me of the final product that was Sonic Boom. Did they roll out some elements from one pitch to a publisher into another pitch for another publisher? Who knows.

Check out "Crash-N-Burn":

#CartoonNEWS Animaniacs (Official) Trailer | A Hulu Original

 And after the little preview clip/teaser, here's the first proper official trailer for the new Animaniacs 2020 cartoon series coming to Hulu soon...

It's starting to look a bit better. I can get used to that.

Can 2020 be saved??? Wait and see...

#HorrorNEWS Candyman - Official Trailer [HD]

The first trailer for the Candyman soft-reboot/sequel is here! The long-awaited Jordan Peele-produced (and co-written!) take on the series! I like the fact we even get Tony Todd's voice at the end. So I suppose this will be a more "spiritual" less slasher take on Candyman. I can dig it. Check it out!



The film's expected for June 12.

#MovieNEWS The Invisible Man - Official Trailer [HD]

Remember Universal's grand plans for a Dark Universe?

Ah. Good times. Good times indeed.

Well, they were pretty far in their production when they scrapped it all, so we still have the 3rd.. or 2nd film is it? (Do we count Dracula Untold? Part of me would say yes, since they reshot and added that whole modern-day epilogue..) Anyways one last non-Dark Universe Dark Universe Universal Monsters reboot arriving on the big screen soon.

It's a tale as old as time, in fact it's The Invisible Man! Here's the twist this time, it's gonna be more grounded. More scienc-y. Modern-day. With an horror take on The Invisible Man, science gone wrong, Invisible guy turns bad, creepy, stalkery and murdery....

...so Hollow Man?

Anyways, here is the trailer:



Looks about what you'd expect from a modern generic Inivisble Man remake.

To cut down losses after the flob of The Mummy Universal had Blumhouse Productions produce this film and do any rewrites/edits as they wanted to cut down costs.

I feel like this whole Dark Universe Universal Monsters reboot super-franchise concept would have had more chance to be decent by being allowed to actually being horror films AND setting them in their original time period of the 1930s-40s instead...

#MovieNEWS CHARLIE'S ANGELS - Official Trailer (HD)

Did we really need a CHARLIE'S ANGELS reboot movie? I'm not so sure. But there's a lot of talent attached to it, including Elizabeth Banks directing the whole thing. Here she is with a little message before the trailer:

#MovieNEWS Terminator: Dark Fate - Official Teaser Trailer (2019) - Paramount Pictures

Okay... New Terminator film.. I don't even know what to say, and I'm a long-time fan of the series, just look at all the Terminator reviews I've done on this very blog over the year..

Except, that it looks a bit bland, generic and unfinished?

Still, James Cameron is back producing and even more hands on the franchise than past installments and we even have Tim Miller (Deadpool 1) directing it.



They might call it yet another reboot, ignoring T3-Salvation-Genisys, but it a series based around time travel and rewriting history. Of course it never fits perfectly, but I still see this Terminator 6 coming off past films easily, both visually and thematically. It almost feels like another take on T3, with Genisys (gosh, I hate that title..) ideas. You even had the old aged-up "pop" Arnie T-800! Like taking Sarah Connor off the timeline in Genisys created this new split timeline where John Connor's not the necessary leader to save the future..! And the boring new evolved shapeshifting Terminator seems like a mix of the T-X (only it can split off the exoskeleton and liquid metal part) and the woman Terminator protecting them seems like a reverse Marcus (Salvation) or Connor Terminator (Genisys)...

Anyways, lore aside, it does look a bit bland, generic and unfinished... Same ol', same ol'.

Terminator: Dark Fate opens November 1.

#DisneyNEWS Official Teaser: Disney's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil - In Theaters October 18!

So apparently they're making a second Maleficient film?



This is getting so far off the original animated film. And not in an original creative way, just much of the same gritty angsty cliché way.

I'm also so tired of these sort of slowed-down edgy music-trailers.

#MOVIEnews CHILD'S PLAY Official Trailer #2 - (2019)

Listen, I'm a huge fan of Mark Hamill voicework, I mean Skips from Regular Show is everything to me moreso than the Joker himself. But even Hamill talent and the presence of the always lovely Aubrey Plaza can't save this Don Mancini-less Chucky reboot, not to be confused with the actual continuation of the original series on an unrelated SyFy tv series.

Check it out:



This just reeks of "what's hot now", like Terminator Genisys. An all-controlling killer app. Really? Just make it a standalone original horror film! But since they knew that premise would stand on its own legs, hence the Child's Play reboot...

The film will hit theaters on June 21.

#MovieNEWS DOOM: ANNIHILATION (2019) Exclusive Trailer "We Call it Hell" HD

The new Doom movie went from bad to worse. That's right this supposedly better reboot is looking way too similar to the previous awful The Rock Doom movie AND it went from a theatrical release to a direct-to-video. Expect the worse:



And this time it doesn't have the fun presence of a Karl Urban or Dwayne Johnson to save it....

Yikes...

#MovieNEWS Hellboy (2019 Movie) New Trailer “Red Band” – David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane

Alright, this new "red band" trailer for the upcoming Hellboy movie reboot looks far better.



My only fear is that they seem to be adapting way too many different plot points from the comics, Hellboy's origins (as seen in the previous films), his BPRD adventures, and much more fans might recognize. There's some great panel and cover recreations in this new trailer.

#HorrorNEWS CHILD'S PLAY Official Trailer (2019)

Here's the reboot nobody asked for, even the original creator and his original stars are bashing it before release (because it might compromise his plans for a Chucky TV series continuation..), but don't worry Orion Pictures only got rights to the visuals and the Child's Play name and story.

And by story, I mean the tale of a AI killer robot-doll that will end up using the cloud to control a swarm of robot-Chucky dolls... Doesn't... sound... very Chucky.. at all... Why not simply rename this something else? Oh, yeah, just to use the familiar brand brand to sell some studio execs' nephew's unused script. Sigh...




Aside from Aubrey Plaza (playing a mom now! How time has passed...), nothing is really making me want to see this bore-fest. I feel like I've seen the entire boring film, aside from missing (CGi) jump scares (probably).

This... thing will be released on June 21.
