Kevin Spacey may have been found not guilty in his 2023 sex offense trial, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be easily creeping back into the public consciousness…at least not the way he wants. Even with that verdict, there are still new accusations being made against the two-time Oscar winner, with the most recent triggering Spacey to launch into a rant on social media.

Ahead of next week’s airing of the two-part docuseries Spacey Unmasked, Kevin Spacey took to X to blast Channel 4 for what he’s suggesting is a hit piece. “Over the last week, I have repeatedly requested that @Channel4 afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters. Channel 4 has refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in 7 days to new, anonymized and non-specific allegations is a “fair opportunity” for me to refute any allegations made against me. I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided “documentary” about me in their desperate attempt for ratings. There’s a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4.”

Kevin Spacey went on to make the point that he has defended himself time and time again, despite the aforementioned verdict, which found him cleared of counts of sexual assault, forcing others into sexual situations with consent and more. “Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny and I have been exonerated.”

While we have yet to see Spacey Unmasked – which will also air on Max on May 6th and 7th – we expect it to be a hit with viewers. Not only are documentaries riding their prime, but the topics it will cover – not to mention it focusing on a once-prominent celebrity – are ripe for ratings. Even still, Channel 4 hopefully considered the sort of target Kevin Spacey would put on it, as just this week Dan Schneider filed a lawsuit against the makers of Quiet on Set, who he says falsely painted him as a “child predator.”

Kevin Spacey has a few projects lined up but gone are the days where audiences truly look forward to his next performance. So is this how the actor will get his publicity from now on?

45 years ago, writer/director Don Coscarelli delivered one of the best horror films ever made: Phantasm, a film which spawned three sequels that Coscarelli wrote and directed himself, then a fourth that he wrote with director David Hartman. Earlier this year, we learned that Coscarelli would be celebrating the 45th anniversary of Phantasm by expanding the franchise with a book called Phiction: Tales from the World of Phantasm, which was initially only available as a limited edition hardcover. Now paperback and Kindle editions of Phiction are available as well, and you can pick up a copy on Amazon!

With a page count of 171, Phiction contains the following six stories:

· In Life and Death in the ‘Nam, we explore the origin story of our favorite ice cream vendor hero Reggie and his first encounter with the supernatural forces of evil in the jungles of the Vietnam war. It’s a two-fisted tale of a young man enduring the horrors of war and at the same time facing down the horrors of the unknown.

· In Behind the Mortuary Door, we learn the secrets of the embalming trade from one of the most memorable characters from the original film.

· In He Was Home Alone, we revisit the young boy Tim, prior to the events from Phantasm III, and how, using only his wits and guile, he survives against unspeakable horrors.

· In Tobe, we follow the trail of one of Phantasm’s forgotten characters as he witnesses the key events of that film from an entirely different perspective.

· In The Rocky Road, we track the events of one of the Phantasm saga’s fan-favorite characters, the nunchuck-wielding Rocky as she’s mustered out of the armed services and travels the backroads of the rural South in the early 90’s. In a desperate search to find her family she encounters love, vengeance and horror, frequently reacting in the only way she knows how, with her fists and her feet.

· And finally in Escape From New York, we join another Phantasm fan-favorite character, the diminutive Chunk from Phantasm Ravager as he attempts to flee his home in the big city from the horror of an oncoming apocalypse. Along the way he bonds with some unexpected allies on a thrilling quest for survival.

I’m a big fan of the Phantasm franchise, so I’m excited to know that Coscarelli has written a batch of stories set in the world of the films and willing definitely be putting in an order so I can check out Phiction. Are you a Phantasm phan, and will you be picking up a copy of Phiction? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

As the year sees a slower run of movies after delays from the strikes, movies like the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy are getting get re-released into theaters. This allows audiences to experience beloved films again on the big screen to commemorate the studio’s legacy in cinema. A smaller movie that will be seeing a new opportunity for exposure is 1998’s Run Lola Run. Deadline has revealed that the time-bending, German action film from Tom Tykwer will be celebrating its 25th anniversary with a return to theaters exhibiting a brand new 4K restoration.

The synopsis per Deadline reads,
“In Run Lola Run, Lola (Franka Potente) answers a call from her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), a small-time courier for a big-time gangster. He has a problem: His boss is coming to pick up 100,000 Deutsche Marks in twenty minutes, and he doesn’t have the money. With Manni’s life on the line, Lola runs through the streets of Berlin to reach him and somehow pick up 100,000 marks along the way, making split-second decisions and encountering acquaintances, family, and strangers. As the clock ticks down, the tiniest choices become life-altering (or life-ending), and the fine line between fate and fortune begins to blur. “

The film’s star, Franka Potente, would parlay this film into a career in American productions that include The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, Conjuring 2 and such television series as FX’s The Bridge and American Horror Story. Run Lola Run would win seven German Film Awards, a BAFTA nomination for Best non-English Film, and the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award. The film would amass $7 million at the domestic box office and it became one of the highest-grossing foreign language films stateside with $22M worldwide. The film also stars Moritz Bleibtreu, Herbert Knaup, Joachim Król, and Nina Petri. The director, Tom Tykwer, also wrote the screenplay for the film.
