The Running Man is Getting a Remake

 


I'm happy to announce that The Running Man is getting a remake. Edgar Wright, the dude who helped to direct Shaun of the Dead is going to be behind this project! This is big news, and I know there is going to be so much potential with this one!

The concept of a game show set in the future with people being forced to participate in games that will get them killed sounds like it's right up Edgar Wright's alley with filmmaking. 

I wanted more of the game show in the original film, and while I thought it was hilarious how Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character kept throwing out pun after pun throughout the film, I’m curious how a gory game show would be like.

And I'm happy to hear that Glen Powell is going to be the main star. I loved him in that movie, Hitman, so he definitely has the acting range for a role like this!

Pearl is a Wicked and Horrific Start to a Memorable Horror Trilogy

Image
  Credit to  Halloween Horror: Pearl (2022) — 3 Brothers Film Have you ever been so impressed by and scared of a character at the same time? Mia Goth pulls off such a likable character with terrifying tendencies of murder and mayhem. Pearl  is actually a prequel to one of my favorite horror films,  X , and is the middle chapter in a trilogy. This trilogy was directed by Ti West, and it featured Mia Goth playing two different characters, as both the antagonist and the protagonist in this trilogy. The prequel starts off Mia as the villain, Pearl. Unlike the protagonist, Maxine, that has her dreams come true, Pearl isn’t exactly given the same happy ending. If it hadn’t been for her killer self, maybe she would have had a chance in the ‘star world.’ Instead, we are given a total downfall of Pearl embracing her monstrous side, killing anyone that stands in her way. Pearl is determined to leave the farm and start a new life elsewhere, but her present life consumes her. I’...

Are We Horror Fans Finally Getting an R.L. Stine Fear Street Movie?

Image
  Credit to Netflix Announces ‘Fear Street 1988: Prom Queen’ for 2025 Release [Poster] — Bloody Disgusting While R.L. Stine is known for creating the iconic Goosebumps series for children, he also created a horror series for young adults, known as the Fear Street novels.  I felt that this series was extremely underrated, and I always wondered if there would ever be a movie on any of these horror novels one day.  We did get a trilogy of Fear Street on Netflix, but I’ll be referring to his standalone horror novels for this article. We are getting a film based on one of his books, Prom Queen, that will be releasing sometime this year.  This story is a pretty simple slasher tale. Several candidates have been selected for prom queen, and the students are getting killed one by one, in order for the killer to obtain the title of prom queen.  This idea already sounds absolutely insane, because how the hell would someone be that desperate to be picked as prom queen i...

Image
  Credit to Rotten Tomatoes  I went to the movies last night to go watch the film,  Babygirl . The movie surprised me in many ways, and I was left speechless multiple times. Like what the heck did I just watch?? Before the movie began, like in any theater, I was watching several trailers. I watched three horror movie trailers that caught my attention: 1. Companion is going to be released on January 31st.  Credit to Bloody Disgusting Even though I now have an idea what the movie is going to be about, not enough was shown for me to fully understand just what the hell was going on.  I won’t spoil anything here, because I know that this film is going to be a complete surprise to everyone. The premise is already so original! 2. Death of a Unicorn is going to be released sometime this year.  Credit to A24 The trailer showed enough for me to become invested, and I died of laughter in several scenes. The cast also looks really awesome, and the monster that will be...
