New Line Moving Foward With Mortal Kombat Sequel With “Exorcist” Series Creator

It’s time to FIGHT one more time as news comes today via Deadline that New Line Cinema is moving forward with the anticipated sequel to the absolute carnage of entertainment that is MORTAL KOMBAT!

Accomplished screenwriter Jeremy Slater has been hired to pen the script for the Mortal Kombat sequel. Notable works of Slater include writing the screenplays for various successful series’ including Umbrella Academy, Marvel’s Moon Night, Death Note, and Fox’s SUPER underrated Exorcist series who he also helped to co-create beyond the screenplay- speaking of which I’m still pretty salty about that cancellation.

Details surrounding the plot of Mortal Kombat 2 are still under wraps, but the conclusion of the first film, which was released both in theaters and on HBO Max early last year, teased that there would be more to come in the future- with the biggest hint of MK legend alumni Johnny Cage coming into play. Although, I think we can assume the majority of the cast from the first film will make a return.

Welp. I’m pretty excited about this. What say you? Stay tuned as more details unfold!

“Chucky” Series Renewed For Season 2!

If you would have told me that in 2021 we would have a successful TV series based on Child’s Play, I definitely would have said that’s a great thought, but never gonna happen. And yet here we are and I couldn’t be more excited that the original creators and cast brought forth a truly fresh look, feel, and a fantastic story to the franchise many of us hold dear to our Damballa hearts. To boot, the series has been renewed for a second season to premiere in 2022!

Across all platforms, “Chucky” has reached 9.5 million viewers in its first season, and is a monumental reach for the “Good Guy” himself conquering the small screen as opposed to dominating box offices.

“We’re thrilled to start pulling the strings on a second season of puppet mayhem with ‘Chucky,’” said executive producer Don Mancini. “Many thanks to our partners at USA, SYFY and UCP for their incredible support and guidance bringing ‘Chucky’ to the small screen, bigger than ever. And to the fans, Chucky sends his still-undying thanks and a message: ‘This isn’t over, not by a long shot. You better watch your backs in 2022!”

The season finale of “Chucky” airs Tuesday, Nov 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on USA and SYFY. Season 1 of “Chucky” is available to stream on Peacock starting Dec. 1, 2021.

WATCH NOW: The Making of Rocky VS Drago, Rocky IV Director’s Cut

Ever wondered what a free film lesson would look like from one of the biggest Hollywood actors’/writer/directors’ in the game? Filmed by Sly himself on his phone and uploaded here via his official shop, Sly Stallone Shop (which is super badass by the way) we now marvel in Sly’s approach to one of the biggest franchise sequels of all time- ROCKY IV: THE MAKING OF ROCKY VS DRAGO.

This making-of documentary that is totally free on YouTube, gives Rocky fans an hour and thirty-three minutes of phenomenal life advice, his passion for the project, and exclusive clips from the upcoming one-day Fathom Event release of the film to be followed by an Amazon release the next day.

I truly can’t say enough great things not only about this series of movies but this installment, in particular, that is especially loved by collectively everyone. Rocky IV has always been a different beast apart from its predecessors with a slew of God’s greatest gift of montages shoved into a 90-minute film about world politics, tragedy, and a theme of change for the better; and it is just a damn beautiful thing.

With the absence of SICO THE ROBOT and the addition of Mickey in flashbacks (more or less taken from ROCKY V) taking place in this new cut, what I’m personally most looking forward to is a more dignified, albeit still sad, end to Apollo Creed with a much longer fight sequence between him and Drago. Also, more lines for the villainous steroid-pumping Russian boxer; who had more lines in the original teaser trailer than in the entire film. So that’s rather exciting!
