Goldberg (The Goldbergs), Brian Volk-Weiss (The Toys That Made Us) and Hans Rodionoff (Damage Control) for this pulse-pounding journey back to Hadley’s Hope and the twisted escape of a man who should have died. On art duties is Guiu Villanova, known for providing intergalactic excellence on titles like Cosmic Ghost Rider and Eternals. The saga will further explore the nature of the man who infamously betrayed Ripley and the lengths he’s willing to go to get his hands on the deadliest species in the galaxy…

Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender Trailer Drops

Netflix Avatar The Last Airbender Live Action Series
Second time's a charm!! ..Sorry to remind you of that last one. At the very least, the collective lust of the internet for Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai has proven Netflix has chosen the right path!

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world. With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope. But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang (Gordon Cormier), a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar. Alongside his newfound friends Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio), siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu) determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task. They’ll need the help of the many allies and colorful characters they meet along the way.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Movie Toys Hitting Now!

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire Fright Features Trevor Spengler 5 inch figure
The extended warmth could only last for so long, and now the chill is enough to shock a body awake instantly. The snow has fallen... the ice is creeping in a slightly supernatural way... Who you gonna call?? 

For Ghostbusters Fans (like meeee!!), it's time to celebrate the oncoming film FROZEN EMPIRE, and now that we are in the 2-month countdown, the official toys have begun hitting retailer shelves. As is the custom, and to not spoil the movie, the initial drop will contain pretty basic things we've seen in the trailers. Once the movie drops, all bets are off! Crossing my fingers for some new ghosts (ie; non-cartoony versions of the Pukey, Bonesey, and Possessor ghosts you can meet below!), and that Hasbro will finally take the iconic license beyond the newest film and the classic toy line and push into Animated Real Ghostbusters territory while inviting visionary artists to come up with some original creatures to add to the shelf top battles. A man can dream!

'The Muppet Movie’ Added to the 2024 Slate of Fathom’s Big Screen Classics

The Muppet Movie Presented by Fathom Events
Fathom Events’ Big Screen Classics announces the addition of “The Muppet Movie” to the 2024 film series line-up.  The beloved movie returns to celebrate its 45th anniversary in theaters nationwide on Sunday, June 2 at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm local time, and Monday, June 3 at 7:00 pm local time.

Following massive global success with the television hit “The Muppet Show,” which at its height aired in more than 100 countries around the world, Muppets creator Jim Henson took a huge creative risk to have the characters star in their first motion picture. The result, “The Muppet Movie,” directed by James Frawley, proved to be an enormous box-office hit. The film also charmed critics and received an Academy Award® nomination for “The Rainbow Connection,” the film’s iconic theme song with music and lyrics by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher.

The film stars Kermit (performed by Henson), Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear (performed by Frank Oz), Gonzo (performed by Dave Goelz) and his chicken Camilla (performed by Jerry Nelson), Scooter (performed by Richard Hunt), and Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as they embark on a road trip to Hollywood where fame and fortune beckons, driven only by hope, dreams and a wisecracking bear.
