One year ago, it was announced that the Netflix streaming service had renewed the serial killer thriller series You for a fifth season, which will also be the final one. While executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter said that You was always intended to be a “five season journey”, showrunner Sera Gamble decided not to guide the journey to its conclusion. Although she remains attached as an executive producer, she has passed showrunner duties over to fellow executive producers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo. Thankfully, Foley and Lo are no strangers to You. They have been working on the series since season 1 and season 2, respectively. Now You season 5 is gearing up for production, and Deadline reports that Madeline Brewer – whose credits include The Handmaid’s Tale, Orange Is the New Black, and the horror film Cam – has joined the cast.
Based on a series of novels by Caroline Kepnes (take a look at her work HERE), You was developed by Gamble and Berlanti. The show centers on Joe Goldberg, a man who will do just about anything when love is at stake.
Penn Badgley plays Joe Goldberg. According to Deadline, Brewer is taking on the series regular role of Bronte, an enigmatic and free-spirited playwright who comes to work for Joe Goldberg at his bookstore. As the two connect over literature and loss, she stokes in him a nostalgia for his former self, causing him to question everything his life has become.
Deadline doesn’t mention her, but given the way that season 4 ended, it’s probably a good bet that season 4’s Charlotte Ritchie will continue to have a prominent role in this final season. Ritchie plays heiress Kate Galvin, who ended up in a relationship with Joe.
Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s VP of Scripted Series, had this to say: “You became an instant sensation on Netflix with a resounding cultural impact that has grown season over season. We’re excited — and a bit terrified — to see how it all ends for Joe Goldberg, but one thing is for sure: You are in for an unforgettable ending.“
Coming to us from Warner Bros. Television, You also counts Gina Girolamo and Leslie Morgenstein among its executive producers.

No matter how many different iterations of Batman there have been over the years, some folks still see colorful words explode across their memory of the caped crusader: BANG! POW! CRASH! For as dark as the adventures of Batman have progressively become, there’s no forgetting the brief era when the universe of “Batman” was a cartoonish, campy riot filled with tongue-in-cheek dialogue, scenery-chewing performances, and some very snug costumes. Comic books aside, it’s hard to believe that, for years, the TV show was essentially what people thought of when they pictured Gotham’s secretive hero, until 1989, when Tim Burton forever altered the way we view the Dark Knight.
The 60s TV show ran for three seasons on ABC. Still, the world got an extra dose of Batman soon after the first season concluded with Batman: The Movie, essentially a super-sized episode that brought four of Batman’s most famous foes together in one zany, candy-coated package. It contains some of the weirdest, wildest moments you’ll find in a movie about the Caped Crusader, so slip into your favorite spandex suit as we tell you WTF Happened to the very first “Batman” movie.
Batman’s origins go all the way back to 1939 when the character first appeared in issue number 27 of “Detective Comics.” Batman’s first stint in front of the camera came in 1943, with a 15-chapter serial series that played successfully in theaters. It was subsequently re-released in 1965 to considerable enthusiasm, which kickstarted the idea of reviving the character for a brand new series, this time made for television. Assigned to help bring it to life was producer William Dozier, once a film producer who’d turned his attention to the exciting and relatively new world of television in the mid-50s. Dozier reportedly was not excited by the prospect of doing a Batman TV show but soon realized the potential popularity of the title. He figured if he could make it appeal to both children and adults, he’d give ABC the hit show they were desperately seeking.
The series was to be infused with what Dozier called “the pop art technique of the exaggerated cliche,” which was another way of saying it would be campy. He thought doing a straight adaptation of the comics would not work, so he sought to deliberately “over-do” it to appeal to a larger audience. Incidentally, Dozier took on the role as the show’s infamous narrator, teasing the next week’s villains and urging you to tune in during the same Bat-time on the same Bat-channel.
Initially, a Batman movie was going to be shot before the TV series, sort of a larger-than-life pilot to introduce audiences to the vivid new world of the character. But ABC’s ratings were in the toilet at the time, and they sped up production on the TV series in order to get it on the boob tube as quickly as possible. Premiering in January of 1966, the show was an instant success, airing two times a week to the delight of millions of Americans.
The idea of doing a movie returned, this time to help sell the film to an even larger audience, particularly in international markets. Intriguingly, color television wasn’t widespread across the globe until the late 60s, so the movie would be the first chance many people overseas would get to see Batman in all its colorful glory. Additionally, Batman merchandise was selling very well at the time thanks to the success of the series; hence the producers saw an opportunity to really strike while the iron was hot.
In March 1966, Batman The Movie was officially announced in Variety. It was stated that a large portion of the main cast and the bulk of the TV show’s production team would return. What wasn’t known publicly at the time was that the film almost didn’t feature Batman and Robin actors Adam West and Burt Ward. According to a 20th Century Fox memo leaked many years later, the late Adam West was asking for a salary of $150,000, a very large sum indeed for the time. If the studio didn’t agree to that demand, West would accept $100,000, understanding that he would be given a star vehicle the next year at a salary of $125,000. Apparently, Burt Ward was making a similar demand for a substantial raise to star in the film.
Fox balked at this and was prepared to move forward without West or Ward in the roles they made popular. The internal memo revealed they were going to start auditioning new actors immediately in order to stay on schedule… However, deals with the two were met and the dynamic duo went back to the Batcave. West was allegedly paid $100,000, while Ward received $35,000. West did get one of his specific requests met, however: the actor wanted the movie to feature more Bruce Wayne, as the majority of his face was obviously concealed during the TV series. The producers agreed, leading to a handful of extended sequences in the movie featuring Bruce Wayne sans his famous costume.
At the studio’s request, the story was to feature four of the show’s most popular villains; so it went that Burgess Meredith reprised his iconic Penguin, Frank Gorshin came back as the Riddler, Cesar Romero returned as The Joker and Julie Newmar was set to play Catwoman once again.
Principal photography was slated to begin in April of 1966. Still, it was delayed when it became apparent Julie Newmar was not going to be able to fulfill her obligation to the part of Catwoman. The reason why has been debated over the years: Some say it was thanks to a conflict in her schedule, as she was just about to start work on another project, while it’s also been suggested that she had sustained an injury and was unable to perform the physicality needed for the role. Either way, Newmar was replaced with former Miss America Lee Meriwether, and production was pushed back approximately two weeks. Meriwether had only appeared in one movie prior to Batman but was a regular fixture on television. According to the actress, the catsuit was very uncomfortable to wear, so much so that she’d get third-degree burns on her shoulders when outside in the heat. Meeeouch.
The Batman: The Movie script was evidently written in ten days by Lorenzo Semple Jr., who’d written several episodes for the series. Shooting would take place over the course of about 30 days in Los Angeles. The budget for Batman was estimated to be some twenty times the cost of a single episode, indicating the studio’s faith in the project. The larger budget allowed for some cool new Bat-toys to be introduced to the world, such as the Bat-copter and the Bat-boat. The latter was an original creation by a company called Glastron Industries, which was based in Texas. As a thanks to their work on the film, the studio held the world premiere of the film at the company’s headquarters in Austin. The helicopter, however, was an already-functioning vehicle which the studio leased for $750 a day.
One of the film’s most memorable sequences is an absolutely hilarious bit where Batman tries in vain to dispose of a bomb. The sequence goes on for an amusingly long stretch of time, about three minutes, but according to West, shooting it took somewhere in the neighborhood of five hours. West mused that it was fortunate he was in good shape at the time, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to run around like that all day.
A much scarier incident happened during filming in a water tank on Fox’s ranch in Malibu, when Batman and Robin are infiltrating the Penguin’s submarine. One of the stuntmen playing a henchman of the Penguin’s dove into the water and hit his head on a pole just underneath the water’s surface. He was knocked unconscious and apparently went unnoticed for a brief amount of time; thankfully, when he was retrieved, he was brought to the hospital and ended up okay.
The film’s most infamous sequence involves a rubber shark and, naturally, some shark repellent to get rid of it. While apparently no qualms were raised about this ridiculous-looking effect during production, evidently, producers weren’t happy with the final result of this scene because of the sound effects of Batman punching the shark – because of course, that’s what’s silly about this scene, the sound effects. Adam West reminded them that the shark looked incredibly fake; hence, the sound effects didn’t really matter. After all, this was “Batman.”
One thing Adam West and Burt Ward had to be thankful for was that they only had to focus on one script for the entirety of the shoot. What do we mean by that? On the series, sometimes they would be shooting sequences for multiple episodes on the same day – meaning if they were shooting in a particular location that would pop up in a handful of episodes, shooting material for two or three different episodes that same day would be more efficient. This of course, would lead to some confusion for West and Ward, who sometimes didn’t know which episode they were working on at any given time. This wasn’t a very common phenomenon, but it would happen occasionally out of necessity. Clearly, it wasn’t an issue on the movie set.
Batman The Movie came out in August of ’66, mere months after production had started. As mentioned, the premiere was held in Austin, Texas, where several of the actors actually showed up in costume.
The film didn’t do exceptionally well in the States, but it broke even with around $4 million in gross. One theory for this was that the audience didn’t want to pay for something they were already watching on television. However, the film played better in international territories, where the “Batman” series wasn’t quite well known. At the very least, the brand was expanding.
Even though it wasn’t a box office hit, a sequel to it was tentatively planned by the studio; it would’ve come out between seasons two and three, just as the first movie came out between seasons one and two. But as season two aired, the ratings for the show began to sag. Batman fatigue was settling in. This led to the decision to scrap the Batman Movie sequel, which would have focused on the introduction of Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, who was ultimately brought into the third and final season of the series.
But as we’re well aware, that was far from the end of Batman. Thanks to persevering on the comic book page for decades, Batman returned to big-screen life in 1989 and hasn’t looked back. Having appeared in over a dozen movies in both live-action and animated form, Batman is still probably the most famous superhero in the world. Whether he’s gleefully dancing the Batusi or busting heads in a neo-noir hellscape, the Caped Crusader keeps coming back again and again, and neither a bomb nor a bullet nor a shark can hope to stop him. Holy longevity, Batman!
Larry David’s popular HBO sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm is closing the book this season and the final year of the show has been in full swing. This year would also, unfortunately, see the passing of one of the show’s stars and close friend of Larry David, Richard Lewis. As the show makes its final run, it would continue to bring on guest appearances of certain actors to play over-the-top versions of themselves. David would previously have hilarious clashes with famous guest stars like Shaquille O’Neal, Michael J. Fox and the Seinfeld cast. This year brought in Full House star Lori Loughlin as she pokes fun at her college admissions scandal from 2019 (which would also involve Felicity Huffman).
Loughlin uses Larry as a sponsor to enter a country club as she loves to play golf, and hilariously, Loughlin hasn’t learned a thing from her experiences as she keeps cheating. Curb writer Jeff Schaffer explained how the guest spot came about to The Hollywood Reporter, saying, “This was an idea that we loved from a writer namedTeddy Bressman. But it’s not going to be funny with some sort of thinly veiled surrogate. It only works if we get Lori. So we called her manager up, who loved it, and who then talked to Lori, and she said: ‘I’m in, I’m totally game.’ And she was. She was so great. Everything we threw at her, she was game to do. She makes the episode. I’m so glad she wanted to do it.”
Schaffer and David would brainstorm the plot with Loughlin in mind. However, whenever they write episodes with special guest stars, they would do so before even approaching them about it. Schaffer admits that this time, their approach was different, “We had a lot of ideas we wanted to do, but we asked Lori first. We pitched the general concept of: ‘You get into the club, and then we find out how ultra-competitive you are, and how you’re willing to bend the rules or break them.’ And then once she agreed, we really started hammering out the details of the script. This time, we finally learned our lesson. We didn’t want to go write the entire episode, and then have to throw it away.”
Last night’s Academy Awards was a big night for a lot of people. Most notably, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer would make a surprising sweep after award shows from earlier in the year presented a closer head-to-head competition. The epic biopic brought in a lot of firsts. Robert Downey Jr. would get his first Oscar win after past nominations including the likes of Chaplin and Tropic Thunder. Cillian Murphy took home the Best Actor trophy while Nolan would get his first for Best Directing and finally, Al Pacino would hilariously announce Oppenheimer in a premature manner as Best Picture.
Oppenheimer would not be the only World War II/atomic bomb-themed film to hit it big last night. The most famous Kaiju in the world, Godzilla, made history as Godzilla Minus One would be the first in the famous Japanese series that would be recognized by the Academy Awards. Godzilla Minus One made a smaller theatrical run in America, where audiences got to see some of the stunning visual effects that the famous “man-in-a-suit” movies have evolved into. ScreenRant reveals that the Oscar win would illicit reactions from filmmakers like John Carpenter and Guillermo del Toro as they took to their social media after the announcement.
Cult horror icon John Carpenter would post, “Incredible! GODZILLA MINUS ONE wins an Academy Award for special effects. In my lifetime. Fantastic!”
Incredible! GODZILLA MINUS ONE wins an Academy Award for special effects. In my lifetime. Fantastic!
In the 70-year history of the Godzilla series, no film from the Toho franchise had been previously honored by the Academy. Granted, in the years since the 1954 original classic, the majority of the films have leaned on the B-movie, monster mash-type of schlock cinema. However, the last two entries that were standalone reboots, 2016’s Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One, have been recognized by fans and general audiences as two of the most poignant and prestigious installments in a long time. Ironically, both were big winners at the Japanese Academy Awards as they themselves went on to Oppenheimer-esque success.

DeWanda Wise, who can currently be seen on the big screen in the Blumhouse horror movie Imaginary, joined Universal’s Jurassic Park / Jurassic World franchise with the most recent film, Jurassic World Dominion, where she took on the role of former US Air Force pilot Kayla Watts. Now a new entry in the franchise is on the fast track to production, but during an interview with Collider, Wise revealed that she doesn’t expect to be in the new film.
When asked if she’ll be returning for the new Jurassic film, Wise said, “I’m gonna be honest with you, and I don’t think so. And that makes me sad.“
We don’t know what the new movie is going to be about, but Wise went on to say that the Jurassic movie she would like to see would be set between the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion so it could show scenes of people’s first encounters with the dinosaurs that are now running loose in the world.
All we know about the new Jurassic sequel at this point is that Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One) will be directing the film from a screenplay by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, who returns to the franchise for the first time since The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The film is aiming for a July 2, 2025 theatrical release.
Deadline recently revealed that at least some of the filming will be taking place at Sky Studios Elstree in the UK. Cameras are expected to start rolling sometime this summer.
Previous reports have said that the new film isn’t going to star any of the leads from previous movies, so Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern are out, along with Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. And apparently we won’t be seeing DeWanda Wise this time around, either.

Cursed was a very fitting title for the 2005 werewolf movie that reteamed Scream director Wes Craven with screenwriter Kevin Williamson, because studio meddling ensured that the project – which had a promising start – ended up being a mess that bombed at the box office. The journey to the screen began in the year 2000, when Williamson wrote a script about a New York-based serial killer who discovers he’s a werewolf. Dimension decided to have Sean Hood and Tony Gayton do rewrites, turning Cursed into the story of a late night TV associate producer who gets attacked by a werewolf after a car crash on Mulholland Drive. Days before Craven was set to go into production on Pulse, a remake of the Japanese horror film Kairo, Dimension pulled him off that project (it ended up being the feature directorial debut of music video director Jim Sonzero) and threw him onto Cursed, which they had on the fast track. 54 days into filming, with just the ending left to shoot, Dimension shut down the project and decided to do a complete rewrite of the script. Only 12 minutes that Craven shot during those first weeks of filming ended up in the finished film. To hear all about the troubles of Cursed (watch it HERE) and what didn’t make it to the screen,, check out the video embedded above – the new episode of the WTF Happened to This Unmade Horror Movie series!
Cursed has the following synopsis: A werewolf loose in Los Angeles changes the lives of three young adults who, after being mauled by the beast, learn that the only way to break the curse put upon them is to kill the one who started it all!
The film stars Christina Ricci, Jesse Eisenberg, Joshua Jackson, Judy Greer, Milo Ventimiglia, Kristina Anapau, Portia de Rossi, Shannon Elizabeth, Mya, Michael Rosenbaum, and Derek Mears.
The WTF Happened to This Unmade Horror Movie series (formerly known as The Horror Movie That Almost Was) focuses on the various horror projects that could never seem to get things off the ground, be it for budgetary concerns, creative differences, or just an ever evolving Hollywood landscape. We dive into every aspect and see just how close these films had come to cameras rolling.
This episode was Written, Narrated, and Edited by Tyler Nichols, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

On April 5th, 20th Century Studios will be giving a theatrical release to The First Omen, which serves as a prequel to the 1976 horror classic The Omen (watch it HERE). The film stars Nell Tiger Free of the Apple TV+ series Servant, and with its release date just a few weeks away, a new promo / TV spot has been unveiled. If you want to see a 30 second preview of what The First Omen has in store for us, check out the video embedded above.
The First Omen was directed by Arkasha Stevenson, based on characters created by David Seltzer. Here’s the synopsis: When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.
Free is joined in the cast by Tawfeek Barhom (Mary Magdalene), Sonia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman), Ralph Ineson (The Northman), and Bill Nighy (Living).
The film was produced by David S. Goyer and Keith Levine, with Tim Smith serving as executive producer with Whitney Brown and Gracie Wheelan. The First Omen has earned an R rating for violent content, grisly/disturbing images, and brief graphic nudity.
We first heard that a prequel to The Omen was in development way back in 2016. At that time, Antonio Campos (The Devil All the Time) was in talks to direct First Omen from a script by Ben Jacoby (Bleed). Later The Conjuring writers Chad and Carey Hayes came on board to work on the script, and they were followed by author Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl). The film ended up in the hands of Arkasha Stevenson – who has previously directed episodes of the genre shows Channel Zero, Legion, and Brand New CherryFlavor. Stevenson rewrote the script with her writing partner Tim Smith, then Firestarter‘s Keith Thomas worked on it as well.
The Omen (1976) was followed by Damien: Omen II in 1978, Omen III: The Final Conflict in 1981, Omen IV: The Awakening in 1991, and a 2006 remake. So this is the sixth entry in the film franchise.

Do you really, do you really wanna taste it? Yes, we do! But where will that taste — that is, season two of Peacemaker — land in the DC Universe timeline? That was one of the biggest questions when it was announced that the DCU would be replacing the DCEU. But James Gunn has stepped in to clear up any confusion…even if it still might be a little unclear just how it will all eventually come together.
James Gunn took to Threads — as he has grown quite fond of — to address where season two of Peacemaker sits in the evolving DC Universe, writing that it “will take place after the events in Superman.” It’s absolutely also worth noting that Gunn said that season one — which was released in 2022 and so part of the DCEU — is not canon in the DCU. Got it? Good, moving on!
The topic of Waller — the spin-off of both Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad based on the DC character Amanda Waller played by Viola Davis — was also brought up. And so where does that take place within the DC Universe? According to Gunn, “Everything in Waller will take place after Peacemaker.” So to break it down, Gunn’s 2025 Superman will take place before the next season of The Peacemaker will take place before Waller. See? That’s not too confusing!
The DC Universe has a lot of potential, at least compared to the works that came before it in the DCEU. Unlike that timeline, the DC Universe will have more than one television series, with Peacemaker and Waller being joined by Creature Commandos, Lanterns and a series centering on Arkham Asylum. Movie-wise, the DC Universe has much to hopefully be excited about, with Superman within the same timeline as The Brave and the Bold, The Authority, Swamp Thing, and more.
Peacemaker’s debut season not falling into the canon of the brand reboot may not sit well with its fanbase but it does also open up a lot of potential that DC truly needs to capitalize on to regain the faith of its followers. Let’s just hope we’re not being thrown an invisible bone.
How do you feel about season one of Peacemaker not being canon? What overall place do you see the series and character having in the DC Universe? Share your thoughts below!
Say it once. Say it twice. Three times a charm. Michael Keaton got to have a hilarious moment at last night’s Oscars with the Batman villains confronting him, and his week looks to be getting better for him as his most anticipated sequel is about to burst from its grave. Keaton recently said in an interview that he has seen Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, in which he reunites with Tim Burton, and he would surprisingly be moved by how it came out. Keaton stated, “It is really good. And beautiful. Beautiful, you know, physically. You know what I mean? The other one was so fun and exciting visually. It’s all that, but really kind of beautiful and interestingly emotional here and there. I wasn’t ready for that, you know. Yeah, it’s great.”
World of Reel has now unveiled that the movie has been test screening in California and a trailer may be crossing over into our world fairly soon. The screenings have garnered fairly positive reactions and some plot details have now surfaced. According to World of Reel, the plot synopsis reads, “After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return to the small Vermont town of Winter River. Paranormal empath, Lydia Deetz, begins to see the lecherous demon Beetlejuice, who haunted her as a teenager. His plans to finally marry Lydia are given extra urgency when his dead wife comes to life and begins to stalk the Afterlife hunting for him. Meanwhile, Lydia’s teenage daughter embarks on a romance with a local teen.”
More details from the screening confirm that Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin do not make cameos in the film (however, the movie does have some surprising cameos from other notable actors) and do not expect Willem Dafoe to have a significant amount of screen time. Some of the standout comments refer to the practical visuals. Tim Burton has said before that he’s gone back to basics with special effects and that he approached the sequel like he did with the original one. According to World of Reel, there have been “great things” said “about the visuals. Burton uses a lot of practical effects in this film, and it’s said to be visually beautiful to look at. Also, unlike the original, Michael Keaton’s titular character is the good guy this time around as he helps Lydia (Winona Ryder) find her Daughter and her boyfriend who somehow ended up getting trapped in the afterlife.”
