As stated in my Daddy Diary post, I’ve been on paternity leave for quite a while. When not taking care of my now three children and sleeping, I actually decided to catch up on a few films I may have missed. One such film is the latest in Nicholas Cage’s freakout quota, MOM AND DAD. MOM AND DAD premiered in select theaters this past January 19th, with it becoming available for streaming on February 20th. It stars Nicholas Cage (as Brent Ryan) and Selma Blair (as Kendall Ryan)

FOX ANIMATED SHOWS TO GET FEATURE FILMS Despite Disney’s buyout of FOX, FOX will still fight for some of its properties to develop under FOX’s creative control. The properties under what used to be called FOX’s “Animation Domination” will reportedly develop feature films that will end up releasing under Disney’s brand. For those who are unfamiliar, “Animation Domination” consisted of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad!, Bob’s Burgers and The Cleveland Show, all airing on

TWO ORIGINAL RANGERS WILLING TO PRODUCE REUNION MOVIE With the rights to Power Rangers now owned by Hasbro, the company itself has admitted to wanting a new series of films starring the iconic heroes. Now David Yost and Amy Jo Johnson have admitted to not only wanting a reunion film, but already having part of it ready. Johnson has gone on record stating she would direct the film with Yost producing. When asked at conventions, Yost admitted to having a reunion film already wr

NEW TRAILER FOR THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS MOVIE HAS DROPPED Japan will always be ahead of the West when it comes to continuing anime plot lines. Japan already has a stage play adaptation of The Seven Deadly Sins and possibly a complete second season. Meanwhile, in the states, the first season of the anime is getting buried in viewers Netflix queue as fans await news of the second season dub import. A new trailer for the film titled The Seven Deadly Sins: Prisoners of the Sky has

FORMATION OF THE X-FORCE SHOWN IN NEWEST TRAILER After intense re-shoots (which turned out to be unnecessary) and plenty of  parody trailers, the first real trailer for Deadpool 2 is finally out. While we already knew that Cable was going to play the antagonist to Deadpool, we now have the reason why. Cable has come back from the future to kill a young mutant boy played by Julian Dennison. Dennison may or may not be the character Thunderbird. In the comics, Thunderbird is Ind

THOR: RAGNAROK STARS REUNITE FOR MEN IN BLACK SPIN-OFF FILM It’s now official that Chris Hemsworth will star in the untitled Men In Black spin-off film coming in 2019. Joining him will be his Thor: Ragnarok co-star Tessa Thompson. The upcoming film is being marketed as less of a reboot and more of an expansion to the universe, similar to Jurassic World. Essentially new characters will be introduced into a world that already has decent depth to it. Another example would be the

ICONIC DUO TO RETURN IN STOP-MOTION FILM WENDELL AND WILD Jordan Peele has been on a roll with his multiple productions getting green-lit and his winning an Oscar for best screenplay with Get Out is apparently just the start. While Get Out and his upcoming projects fall under the horror/thriller genre, Peele will be returning to comedy in the film Wendell and Wild. Joining him will be his best friend Keegan-Michael Key. Key and Peele will co-star as the titular characters of

CAGE TO PLAY SUPERMAN IN TEEN TITANS GO TO THE MOVIES FILM Despite the numerous roles Nicolas Cage plays (due to his somewhat questionable spending) there is one role that has always eluded him; the man of steel Superman. Cage was originally slated to star as the hero in the cancelled Tim Burton film Superman Lives (he even did a costume test for the film), but the film was never picked up after it ended up falling through. Now 20 years later, Cage will finally live his dream

JUDE LAW DEBUTS AS YOUNG DUMBLEDORE IN FANTASTIC BEASTS 2 TRAILER Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them not only turned out to be a great prelude to the Harry Potter universe, but it created its own (albeit better) story-line involving dark magic than the cult sensation did with Voldemort. While a teaser was expected by Warner Bros., a lot more information was revealed than possibly originally intended. Jude Law as a young Dumbledore is not only charming but apparently even

SERIES CREATOR WROTE A PREQUEL FILM FOR THE SERIES The Sopranos is a modern classic and a staple to study in the history of television, even with the infamous ending. Now series creator David Chase has decided to revisit the mafia world with a fully developed film to serve as a prequel. The film is called The Many Saints of Newark, and was bought from Chase by New Line Cinema. The film takes place shortly after the real-life Newark riots in the 1960’s. The Newark riots took p

FIRST TRAILER FOR LIVE-ACTION WINNIE THE POOH FILM RELEASED Being an adult is hard, especially today and it seems like Disney knows how to address not only our issues, but the next generation of children entering adulthood. When the live-action film for Winnie The Pooh was announced (called Christopher Robin) the following synopsis was given: The young boy who embarked on countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has

RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED FOR FILM THAT SEEMED LIKE A JOKE (SO IT’S REAL) It looks like the CollegeHumor parody of Dora The Explorer will not be the only adaptation of the iconic pre-school kid show. During the fall of last year it was announced that Dora The Explorer would be getting a live-action adaptation. The stranger news was the choice of director. The Transformers lord and master Michael Bay was in talks to produce the film with Nick Stoller directing it. That plan by Pa

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG FILM RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED Apparently any video game can be interpreted as a film. Paramount Pictures newest project is a film adaptation of everyone’s favorite blue speed demon, Sonic the Hedgehog. While the character started off great in his video games, the franchise eventually got stale and almost beyond saving. The only real lifeline Sonic has is the plethora of animated series based on his character. They honestly hold up decently, despite their age

RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET: WRECK-IT RALPH 2 ALLOWS RALPH TO END TROLLING Wreck-It Ralph is one of the token films of a company to address the geekdom in the company’s demographic, yet the film touched more hearts than it planned on. Originally announced last year at the D23 conference, the first poster and trailer for the film has been released. On top of that we now know when the film will drop too. The official synopsis: “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 leaves L

CHRIS TUCKER CONFIRMS THAT HE AND JACKIE CHAN WILL RETURN Last we checked, the Rush Hour franchise ended with Rush Hour 3 in 2007, to lackluster reviews. Dedicated fans hoped that another film would appear to correct the mistakes of the third film, but when asked about it, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker could only say that agreements still needed to be made. Well now, not only has Chris Tucker confirmed that the final script has been agreed on by both actors, but the film is al

FIRST TRAILER FOR LIVE-ACTION BLEACH FILM RELEASED Bleach is the latest anime/manga series to get a live adaptation film and the first trailer has dropped. Along with the release date of July 20th, we get a close-up of Sota Fukushi as Ichigo and visit his transformation into a substitute Soul Reaper. Based on the trailer (it’s only 30 seconds long) it appears that the film will directly pull from the anime. The exact scene of Ichigo getting stabbed by Rukia to receive her pow

SHARKNADO 6 WILL FEATURE TIME TRAVEL (WHY?) The Sharknado franchise is one of those things that is so bad it’s good. It’s apparently so bad that the SYFY channel made a sixth film. SYFY also revealed the synopsis of the film and confirmed the starring roles: All is lost, or is it? Fin unlocks the time-traveling power of the SHARKNADOS in order to save the world and resurrect his family. In his quest, Fin fights Nazis, dinosaurs, knights and even takes a ride on Noah’s Ark. Th

KARATE KID SEQUEL COBRA KAI DROPS NEW TRAILER It’s all about sequels set far into the future or reboots in Hollywood these days and The Karate Kid will now have both done to it. The Karate Kid already went through its reboot phase when Jaden Smith took the helm as student next to Jackie Chan’s master, so the next step for the franchise will be a future sequel. The first trailer for the new entry in the franchise, Cobra Kai, was released today and answers most fan questions ab

LEBRON’S SPRINGHILL ENTERTAINMENT TO PRODUCE HOUSE PARTY REBOOT Although King James won’t end his NBA career anytime soon, he will become more active as a film and TV producer. After playing himself in the 2015 film Trainwreck, he announced he would be in charge of the sequel to Space Jam: Space Jam 2. His newest project has been revealed as a reboot to the original House Party film. The only details available about the film are that James will produce the film with his produ

THE SPAWN REBOOT NEEDS ITS STAR The creator of Spawn, Todd McFarlane recently revealed that he is searching for his new titular character. While Marvel is busy with their extended universe, McFarlane decided that he would reboot his iconic supernatural character on his own terms. The first thing he needs though, is his star. McFarlane’s announcement came after he met with the director of the original film Mark Dippe following various casting calls. What McFarlane calls a coin
