‘Blade Runner 2’ adds Barkhad Abdi, “I’m the replicant now.”
Stole that “I’m the replicant now” from my own brother, Rendar, who pointed me in the direction of this news. You’re the best, Rendar!

Look: James Gunn is gifted a Play-Doh Groot from ‘GoTG Vol. 2’ Prop Master
Fuck, man. I need me some more Guardians of the Galaxy, seeing that the original is easily my fave flick of the MCU, and maybe one of my fave flicks of the past few years. What do I get to hold me over? Fucking nothing! But I’d settle for my own Play-Doh Groot.
‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ getting Criterion Collection with cover art by Becky Cloonan
Fuck! I love me some Becky Cloonan! Fuck! I love me some Pan’s Labyrinth. But, I don’t buy them physical iterations anymore, declaring a war on meat-space. If I did, though, I’d be all over this.
Warner Bros. reportedly wants Justin Lin to direct ‘Akira’ adaptation
Akira is the adaptation that will simply never die. Warner Bros. simply won’t let it! Now the company is eyeballing Justin Lin (Star Trek Beyond, Furious Franchise) to shepherd the anime into Hollywood live action.
‘Star Trek Beyond’ Trailer #3: Let’s Make Some Noise…With Rihanna
Yeah. I don’t know. I mean, I got myself a crush on Rihanna. I want to like Star Trek Beyond. The song itself ain’t bad (or great). The visuals of the trailer are pretty fun. But I’m not buying the synthesis of the two disparate parts.
John Boyega teases new project with ‘Attack the Block’ director Joe Cornish
Before John Boyega was Finn, he was Moses (Moses!, Moses! Moses!) in Attack The Block. In fact, the reason I was stoked for his casting in Force Awakens was due to Boyega’s performance in the aforementioned flick. This news, then? The news that Boyega is once again brainstorming with Block’s director? Tremendous.
Rumor: Marvel Studios and Fox considering a crossover of some sort
Torn, man. I sort of file this under “baseless rumor”, and I don’t want to post it. But I also sort it under “fun fanboy speculation”, you know? Throw some chum to those of us geek-sharks here at OL. So here we have it. Marvel Studios and Fox finally teaming up down the road? Makes a lot of sense. Too much sense.
Mark Millar reviving ‘Kick-Ass’ with black female lead; what could go wrong?!
When Mark Millar isn’t busy ripping off other people’s ideas with a lazy “What If?” twist, he’s usually being problematic in his portrayal of African Americans. When he’s not being problematic in his portrayal of African Americans these days, he’s usually doing something (at the very least) thinly veiled in misogyny. Usually he’s doing all three at the same time within a story’s run. So, you know, what could go wrong with Millar making Kick-Ass‘ new protagonist a black female?! Maybe, maybe the fact that Millar is just going to write the first issue of this new run is portentous of something actually promising. I’m not holding my breath, though.
