They’ve Remade Anaconda in the Best Way Possible
I’d heard rumblings of this Anaconda remake and now we’ve got an actual trailer, which looks pretty cool. Basically, Paul Rudd and Jack Black will get meta as fans of the original Anaconda movie who want to make their own version, only to wind up battling a giant snake themselves. It’s true! Watch the trailer and see!
Fun stuff. I dig it. I like Paul Rudd and Jack Black. The premise is just funny enough to be clever, to a degree. It appears to be a real movie. So this one is definitely now on my radar. I wonder if one of those lead actors came up with the idea for this movie and then just pulled the necessary strings to get it made. Maybe Jack Black knows the right people from his work on the Jumanji sequels.
Anaconda is coming to theaters around Christmas time.

Can’t Wait for Wake Up Dead Man!
We got a new trailer yesterday for Wake Up Dead Man, the third Benoit Blanc mystery (or Knives Out mystery, if you will). Can’t wait! These movies are incredible and I hope Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig just keep making them forever.
I was able to see Glass Onion in one of my local theaters back when that first came out, and hopefully I’ll be able to do the same with Wake Up Dead Man. Netflix is fine, but the big screen is the big screen!
The movie looks spooky, which is a nice take. Might as well switch up the settings and styles and tones between movies. Not a fan of Blanc’s new hairstyle…but what do I know? I’m not the fashion maven that is Benoit Blanc. I’m sure it will be fine!
Wake Up Dead Man comes to selected theaters on Nov. 26 and then to Netflix on Dec. 12!

Keep an Eye on Shelby Oaks
In the past, I was a mediocre fan of YouTube movie critic Chris Stuckmann. Dude was an alright watch. Then he got to make his dream a reality and Kickstarted his own movie! I’ve used Kickstarter in the past to bring my own comics to life, and I chipped in a bit for the Kickstarter for Shelby Oaks. Since then, the movie has been picked up by a real distributor and real Hollywood people have stepped up to help make the movie happen.
We also now have a trailer!
Looks pretty good. I’m not a horror fan by trade, but I’d probably go and watch this if it was playing in one of my local theaters. I think I get access to a digital download due to my Kickstarter backing, but I haven’t really been paying attention to those updates and have completely forgotten what level I pledged at. I just wanted to help a creative dude from the internet achieve his dream – just like me!
Anyway, just wanted to share that trailer. You can probably learn more about Stuckmann’s journey on his YouTube page. And Shelby Oaks comes to theaters on Oct. 3!

6 Thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps (Review)
At long last, the new and fourth attempt at a Fantastic Four movie has arrived at our theaters, this time by the actual Marvel Studios. Did you know that I have never seen Fan4stic? It was apparently bad and I’ve never had enough curiosity to watch it. And I knew Marvel would get the rights back eventually.
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
Personally, I would have been fine had Marvel found a way to fit the Fantastic Four into the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe. I had my own idea once on how to make it work. But screw all of that because this retro, multiverse idea worked flawlessly! I loved the vibe, I loved the world, I loved the characters, I loved the movie!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entrySome of the Sweet Comic-Con Trailers
San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing this weekend and we’ve got a bunch of nifty trailers to share! Nothing as big as a new Marvel movie or DCU film, but we’ve got some TV shows and smaller flicks, so it all works out nicely, I think.
We do have one DC show, at least. Peacemaker season 2 starts next month and we got a newer, fuller trailer.
Obviously I can’t wait for season 2, so awesome there. Everything looks like it’s gonna be a ton of fun and we’ll see what sorts of shenanigans we get this time around. Me, personally, I don’t need an onscreen explanation for the differences in the DC movie universes, but we’ll see what happens.
Peacemaker returns to HBO Max on Aug. 21.
Next up is a trailer for Starfleet Academy, the next Star Trek show. It’s basically a boarding school show set in the Star Trek universe.
If I understand this probably — and I don’t fully — I think this takes place in the far, far future. Something about Star Trek: Discovery going into the future and I guess now they’ve established a new academy? I don’t know. I didn’t watch the last two seasons of Discovery. But maybe this will be a fun, clean slate start for a new show.
Starfleet Academy comes to Paramount+ early next year.
Speaking of spin-off TV shows, the second season of Gen V in the Boys universe is also on its way.
I like The Boys just fine and can’t wait for the final season. I also really enjoyed the first season of Gen V, so I’m definitely looking forward to a second season. There’s probably a very good chance that it’s going to be fun.
Gen V returns to Amazon on Sept. 17.
Lastly, but not leastly, is a trailer for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, because the world doesn’t stop.
I watched Spinal Tap many years ago, once I was an adult, and it was good, I’m sure. That they went and made a sequel before they all die? Fine by me! I did just watch and enjoy Happy Gilmore 2, so who am I to debate the existence of Spinal Tap II? Exactly!
Spinal Tap II is coming to theaters on Sept. 12.
