Over 20 years after Uwe Boll turned the video game The House of the Dead into a horror movie, Deadline reports that Paul W.S Anderson is making a House of the Dead movie of his own.
Paul W.S Anderson will write and direct the new adaptation of Sega’s zombie game, which debuted back in 1997 and spawned a franchise as well as a remake in 2022. That original game, along with Resident Evil, is credited for kickstarting the zombie resurgence of the time.
Deadline recaps, “In the arcade game, players take on the role of Ams agents, a government agency tasked with thwarting the conspiracies of organizations that threaten the world. The title comes from the bureau they work for, because their life expectancies are brief.”
“I’ve loved the video game since the nineties,” Anderson tells Deadline. “Back then I was a big player of video games in arcades, which...

Exclusive: Paul W.S. Anderson will write and direct The House of the Dead, an action-packed feature based on the legacy Sega franchise.
Anderson will produce alongside his partner Jeremy Bolt, Sega’s Toru Nakahara will produce along with Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Dan Jevons. Timothy I. Stevenson will be executive producer.
Anderson and Bolt have brought several game franchises to the screen successfully, including Mortal Kombat, the Resident Evil franchise, and most recently Monster Hunter.
The House of the Dead debuted in 1996 as an “on-rails shooter” game, fast-paced action/horror with a groundbreaking zombie premise. That included the innovation of giving its undead villains the ability to run, something that inspired films from Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake and Marc Forster-directed World War Z.

Hugh Jackman created one of his most fan-favorite films when he collaborated with director Darren Aronofsky for The Fountain. Aronofsky is primarily known for his psychological tales incorporating surreal and unsettling facets. Despite not being a critical or commercial success like his other films, The Fountain later earned a cult classic tag.

Just like most Darren Aronofsky films, The Fountain also had an unconventional story. The 2006 flick starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz featured three versions of the duo woven by love across time and space. Some critics argued that at times, the film’s concept was too bizarre to grasp and the conclusion fell too hard despite an interesting story.

Dragon Ball Daima, the anime project with which Akira Toriyama was associated, has quickly gone on to become one of the most popular Shonen series in no time. Initially, the series received a mixed bag of emotions when it was first announced. However, the creators’ sudden passing earlier this year made Daima heavily anticipated because the series was his last project.

However, when the series was released, all the doubts surrounding the series were cleared in an instant. The franchise went back to its roots and featured action similar to the original series, Dragon Ball. Interestingly, that’s not the reason behind its infectious fame, but the series specializes in showcasing several Star Wars references, making it a show with massive potential.

The Dceu had a very unique look as far as cinematic universe go. Zack Snyder managed to craft a great universe that managed to not only be as dark and gritty as DC is expected to be but also managed to excite audiences for what’s to come….until it didn’t.

As soon as Zack Snyder exited the universe, the vision that the director had for the films fell apart immediately. WB onboarded Joss Whedon in hopes of recapturing the success of the Avengers, only for the film to crash and burn. However, one particular scene from the film has become notorious, one where Wonder Woman tries to stop a resurrected Kal El from retaliating against the League.

Movies from the DC Universe as of late may not have been some of its best ones to date, resulting in either critically panned, or brutally underrated projects that performed terribly badly at the box office. But this wasn’t always the case, as this superhero universe is also credited with giving fans some of the best and most comically accurate films of all time.
Now that James Gunn is soon about to launch his revamped version of the respective super-verse with a full-blown rebooted cast, it seems like the perfect time to go down memory lane and reminisce all those masterpieces that DC gave us over the years – since we probably won’t be seeing all those iterations of the superheroes that we grew up watching return anytime soon.
That said, here’s a list of the 10 highest-rated movies from this super-verse, ranked according to their respective ratings on IMDb.

He was one of the Bad News Bears, he earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in the film Little Children, he played Rorschach in Zack Snyder‘s take on Watchmen. He worked with Steven Spielberg on Lincoln and with Martin Scorsese on Shutter Island. He has dealt with Dollman, the Maniac Cop, and the remake RoboCop, and he played Freddy Krueger in a poorly-received remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. And now, Deadline reports that Haley is set to star in the game show-themed slasher movie I’m Your Host.

Gerard Butler’s portrayal of King Leonidas in Zack Snyder’s 300 continues to be one of the most memorable performances of his career. The role required him to undergo a punishing training regimen designed to bring Spartan warriors to life.

Ever since his big debut as Superman in Zack Snyder’s DC Extended Universe, Henry Cavill has captivated the world (or rather women!) with his incredibly charming manners, Greek-God-like looks, and stunning blue eyes. Hence, understandably his love life is the talk of town, sometimes more so than his actual profession.

Back in 2018, Netflix and the C.S. Lewis Company reached a multi-year deal to adapt all seven Chronicles of Narnia books as movies. Then, in 2022, it was revealed that Greta Gerwig — the director behind mega-blockbuster Barbie — had signed on to helm at least two of those films. But other than that, we don't know much more about the upcoming Narnia reboot.
Netflix has not been in any rush to push out a new string of Narnia films. The streamer has plenty of family-friendly fantasy movies and shows in its catalog to pass the time, such as Damsel and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Narnia movies are still in the early days of development, and nobody has been cast yet. Several names are being rumored, such as Louis Partridge and Saoirse Ronan.
As for right now, before production has even started, Greta Gerwig is reportedly still figuring out the logistics of how to release the movies.

A famous, homicidal clown once said that he thought his life was a tragedy, but then he realized it was a comedy ... and we're starting to think he was onto something. Joaquin Phoenix's two "Joker" movies stand alone as some of the weirdest and most unusual comic book movies of the last several decades, not least of all because of how audiences have responded to both of director Todd Phillips' efforts. 2019's "Joker" beat all expectations and became one of the most successful R-rated movies of all time. Five years later, though, the sequel "Joker: Folie à Deux" fared significantly worse, demolished by weeks of negative word of mouth (/Film's review by Bill Bria being a notable exception) before ending up rejected by most audiences once it hit theaters worldwide.

Supernatural is a series that possesses a lot of personality. Although, at first glance, it is a horror show about the paranormal, over the years, it almost turned into a painful, traumatizing sitcom. At the very center of the series are its lively, depressed protagonists.

In the world of film and TV, most people tend to think of the director as the one in charge of everything. While they play a huge role, it’s super important to remember that the screenwriter is also a key player in creating the project. Sometimes, the same person fills both roles, but often the director is just the director, and the writer is someone else entirely.

Zack Snyder was seen as a visionary from the beginning, but when Watchmen was released, that perception kind of changed. The movie didn’t resonate with the general audience, and many laid the blame on the director. However, it turns out that Snyder wasn’t responsible for the issues with the production at all. He merely directed the filming and had no role in developing the plot.

The movie stars David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, with Rachel Brosnahan taking on the role of Lois Lane—the leading lady we all know and love. Plus, we'll get our first look at House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, making her big-screen Dcu debut. And let's not forget Nathan Fillion stepping in as Guy Gardner, giving us a Green Lantern with some serious personality. This new lineup already has so much potential, and we’re just getting started.

James Gunn’s Dcu has a lot to live up to. Not only do fans expect that the Dcu will outdo what Zack Snyder tried to do with the Dceu, but fans, myself included, hope that it is able to launch a cinematic universe that could rival, if not outdo the Marvel Cineamtic Universe. However, odd ideas in the DC Universe that I think could set it apart from other superhero universes.

Given that bold new takes on famous characters have been doing so well in recent years, whether they be copyright-friendly parodies or alternate universe, there is a potent case to be made for James Gunn to include at least one of the three times when The Joker wore Batman’s costume.

With the recent (extremely disappointing) release of "Joker: Folie a Deux," there is nothing standing between the old DC and the new DC Universe, which kicks off later this year when the animated "Creature Commandos" arrives on Max. Then DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran's plans kick into high gear next summer when Gunn's new "Superman" movie hits theaters. What are those plans, exactly? An ever-growing list of movies and TV shows has already been confirmed, and put simply, the DC Universe is getting a reboot. Unfortunately, there is still some confusion for the time being.
The easiest thing would be for Warner Bros. and DC Studios to say "we're starting over completely fresh. Nothing from the former Dceu counts, but everything going forward does." Unfortunately, it's not so simple. Certain projects that were in the works before are going to be ushered in as part of the future.

When Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez tied the knot back in July 2022, they automatically became one of the most obvious power couples in Hollywood. One a former Batman, the other a multi-talented Queen of Dance, the two were seen by many to be obvious soulmates.
After all, even after calling off an engagement way back in 2004, they eventually found their way back to each other in April 2021. This was despite the fact that Affleck had married twice during their time apart, with Lopez also walking down the aisle with longtime friend Marc Anthony.

Netflix has established itself as a benchmark for original streaming content, and with that has come a specific set of requirements for the cameras used to capture its 4K Originals. The company maintains an exclusive list of ‘Netflix Approved’ cameras, a collection of high-resolution, large-sensor cinema cameras. But in an era where even smartphones can produce stunning cinematic imagery, is Netflix’s approval process still relevant? Moreover, Netflix has frequently used unapproved cameras for its own content, raising the question: Do ‘Netflix Approved’ cameras truly matter, or is the approval system outdated in today’s world of versatile camera technology?

James Gunn is in the process of creating a brand-new cinematic universe called the Dcu, designed to replace Zack Snyder’s troubled Dceu, which has experienced both significant successes and notable failures over the years.
The Dcu officially launches with the release of Creature Commandos this December; however, both Peter Safran and Gunn have emphasized that Superman, slated for a 2025 release, is considered the true beginning of the Dcu.
Peacemaker season 2 is currently in production, along with Lanterns, a True Detective-style series that will focus on three prominent Green Lanterns: Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan.

The Dcu officially launches with the release of Creature Commandos this December; however, both Peter Safran and Gunn have emphasized that Superman, slated for a 2025 release, is considered the true beginning of the Dcu.
Peacemaker season 2 is currently in production, along with Lanterns, a True Detective-style series that will focus on three prominent Green Lanterns: Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan.

Amy Adams first played Lois Lane in 2013's Man of Steel. Later, she appeared in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. However, as with every other cast member, her role in the latter was drastically altered (we did at least get to see what was originally planned for her in Zack Snyder's Justice League).
Talking to Variety about her role in Nightbitch, Adams confirmed she was never under the impression that the plan was for her to return as Lois after 2017's Justice League.
We know Snyder had ambitious plans for the character as she was set to be a central figure in his sequels, eventually having a child with Bruce Wayne. Warner Bros. must have also considered bringing her back into the fold for the Man of Steel sequel it started developing when Henry Cavill returned to the Dceu, but if so, Adams wasn't made aware.

After rising to prominence in the 2000s, Gerard Butler cemented himself as one of the leading men in Hollywood, thanks to the success of Zack Snyder’s 300 and P.S. I Love You. While the former was a much more intense movie in comparison to the 2006 rom-com, behind the scenes, things went south within the first two days of P.S. I Love You‘s filming.

While the actor confessed that he had a blast working with Swank, Butler revealed that he almost accidentally ended up killing her on the set.

Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike famously collaborated for the 2014 feature Gone Girl, playing a tumultuous and destructive couple. While filming, Affleck was also preparing for his other role as Batman in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. For Pike, the results definitely showed.

Many scenes in David Fincher’s mystery thriller would become iconic. One of the most talked-about moments in the movie involved Pike and her co-star Affleck in the shower together. Affleck showed more skin than his onscreen love interest in the picture, a take the filmmaker knew was coming. Fincher warned Affleck about the scene beforehand.
“It’s ironic because David said to me from the beginning, this is a warts and all movie. It can have no vanity,” Affleck once told MTV...

In the mythology of comic book superheroes, Batman and Superman have been the two most enduring figures on the glossy pages. When it comes to the silver screen, however, the story is entirely different. While some deify the versions portrayed by Zack Snyder, others ridicule them for being darker, more psychologically complex, and morally grey heroes who are otherwise meant to be the beacon of hope and a self-made avenger of the oppressed.

The zombie movie isn't dead, but it certainly feels like its been shuffling on its last legs for the last few years. George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" didn't quite create the zombie movie, but it more or less solidified the ideas and tropes we now associate with it. There were many zombie movies in the years following the 1968 release of "Night of the Living Dead," some of them directed by Romero himself. But at some point, zombie horror became ubiquitous and overdone. If I had to pinpoint the start of this oversaturation, it was probably the combination of Danny Boyle's low-fi zombie flick "28 Days Later" in 2002, Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead" remake and Edgar Wright's comedy "Shaun of the Dead," both released in 2004, and the 2010 premiere of "The Walking Dead." In the wake of these particular titles, it suddenly felt like zombies were everywhere.

Superman director James Gunn has taken to social media to share his reaction to an AI trailer for the Dcu reboot that's been doing the rounds, and his three emoji response says it all.
The fake teaser - which, believe it or not, has actually fooled a few people online - was shown on the French 2 news channel over the weekend. It begins with a snippet from an interview about the Super/Man Christopher Reeve documentary, before showing a couple of laughably unconvincing shots of the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnaham).
The trailer also uses footage from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, and whoever created it didn't even bother to alter Henry Cavill's face to make him look a bit more like his successor as our next big-screen Superman.

The MCU, despite experiencing a few less successful and even failed projects, remains a stable and coherent narrative universe that continues to move forward. Whether you enjoy these films or feel fatigued by them, you have to admit that the MCU’s consistency is impressive.
In contrast, the DC Comics universe has struggled. The Dceu was created as a response to the MCU, but it ultimately fell short. While there were some individual successes, Zack Snyder never managed to weave everything into a cohesive story. Combined with a series of poor decisions, the Dceu failed as expected.
Warner Bros. has since brought in James Gunn and Peter Safran to turn things around. They are now working on building the Dcu, which aims to be DC’s answer to the MCU. But what about the relationship between the Dceu and the Dcu? We know Gunn is starting fresh, but there’s more to consider…...

What Do We Know About the upcoming Dcu original series Lanterns? More thank you may think. The Max original series will be the first live-action project on television from James Gunn’s rebooted DC cinematic universe. With casting announcements, rumors, and more, we know a lot of what is to come. So, let’s jump in and discuss Lanterns.
We will see multiple Green Lanterns.
While we met several members of the Green Lantern Corps in the Ryan Reynolds-led feature film, this new series is intentionally plural, as we will meet more than just Hal Jordan. According to James Gunn, Lanterns will center on Jon Stewart, who briefly appeared in Zack Snyder’s Justice League in a non-speaking role. We also know that James Gunn’s longtime friend and collaborator Nathan Fillion is portraying Lanterns hero Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman movie and will potentially appear.

Whether you like these films and the stories they are telling or not, whether you’re fatigued or not, there’s one thing you have to admit – the MCU’s coherence is admirable.
The same thing cannot be said about the DC Comics universe. The Dceu was established as a reaction to the MCU, but it failed to deliver. There were some good individual outings, but Zack Snyder never managed to connect everything into a proper story, and combined with all the numerous bad decisions, the Dceu failed. As expected.
Warner Bros. then brought in James Gunn and Peter Safran to fix things, and the two of them are now working on building the Dcu, which is supposed to be DC’s answer to the MCU.

Wonder Woman is one of the greatest superheroes the world has ever known. A warrior from Paradise Island, a.k.a. Themyscira, she fights for people's rights and always chooses love over hate; inspiring such hope across the world ever since her introduction into DC Comics in 1941.
We've seen multiple live-action versions of the character over the years, most notably Lynda Carter's in the 1975 Wonder Woman TV series, and Gal Gadot's in the DC Extended Universe movies. It was thought that the latter would continue playing the hero for many more years to come as the Dceu was just getting started, but her future was called into question when DC Studios took over the helm as Wonder Woman 3 was cancelled.
Now, DC Studios co-chairman and CEO James Gunn has seemingly confirmed on social media that the Amazonian warrior will be recast in the new DC Universe franchise.

Ben Affleck donned the grumpy face of Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice alongside Henry Cavill back in 2016. His version was inspired by Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy.

Nolan’s version of The Dark Knight was based on the comic books created by veteran comic book artist Frank Miller. To top it all off, Frank Miller’s inspiration for a dark Batman was the goofy TV show Batman from 1966. Yeah… it’s like Inception. Batception, if you will.
How Frank Miller Was Inspired By Adam West For The Dark Knight Returns
Back in 1966, veteran actor Adam West starred in a show titled Batman. The show depicted a goofy Batman and Robin (played by Burt Ward) and received great ratings. However, back then, comedy was selling and fans actually liked it.

While we all know author Alan Moore will never like adaptations of his beloved works, if he acknowledges their existence at all, I think if he were to give them a go, he’d be most impressed by the new animated Watchmen films, based on his classic superhero graphic novel.
Brandon Vietti's Watchmen: Chapter I was released in August to great critical acclaim. The film was a perfect adaptation of the first half of the much-loved graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Even more faithful, perhaps, than Zack Snyder’s popular live-action adaptation in 2009. In addition, the animation (which is very reminiscent of Telltale games) perfectly suits the story; the team were able to absolutely nail the signature aesthetic of the graphic novel. It really is a feast for the eyes!
But of course, Chapter I only covered the first half of the source material. By the end of the film,...

Apparently, she isn’t the only disgruntled creative in the Netflix stable either. Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig are said to be unhappy that Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery met largely the same fate that Gerwig’s Narnia films face, while their next film in the series, Wake Up Dead Man, will likely do the same.

The Penguin is a spin-off series set in the same continuity as Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Since its premiere, the series has garnered critical acclaim, primarily for its writing and the lead cast’s performances. Despite blowing away viewers right out of the gate, the quality has only improved with each passing installment of the eight-episode miniseries.

Sitcom fans may remember Cristin Milioti from How I Met Your Mother. For comic book fans, she is now the Batman villain Sofia Falcone aka the Hangman. However, fans who have followed her career throughout the last decade would agree that her best performance was seen in Fargo. She played the secondary character Betsy Solverson in the second season of the series.

"I'm terrified it's all connected and the worst is yet to come... And I can't do anything to stop it." Warner Bros has revealed the full trailer for the final half of the animated adaptation of the celebrated Watchmen graphic novel. Watchmen: Chapter 2 is set to debut in November. Back in 2009, Zack Snyder adapted the graphic novel into an epic 3 hour long movie. Which was extended into the "Ultimate Cut", including animated segments of "Tales of the Black Freighter" from the original book. There was also a Motion Comic version in 2009. Then came the "Watchmen" series on HBO in 2019, a re-invention from Damon Lindelof (which was terrific). Now, WB is adapting the entire book again once again. It's a direct from-page-to-screen retelling of this dark & complex story about a group of superheroes with too much power. Voices of Titus Welliver as Rorschach, Rick D.

Cristin Milioti may have the ultimate looks and charms required to play the lead character Sofia Falcone in The Penguin series, but that’s not all she has: She has an incredibly rich history of fangirling over Batman’s universe in her childhood as well. To say the least, she was the ultimate fan of the Caped Crusader ever since the young years of her life.

Given that it’s set to herald a new dawn for DC films, you might be wondering just how different James Gunn’s version of Superman will be from Zack Snyder’s Dceu-launching iteration – or, frankly, any other take on the Boy Scout. But here’s something that hasn’t been done before in live-action big-screen form: Krypto The Superdog is coming. Yes, David Corenswet’s Kal-El will be joined by a four-legged friend, as confirmed by Gunn himself.
On Twitter, Gunn explained that this version of Krypto takes influence from his own rescue dog, Ozu. “Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman,” says the filmmaker. “Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture – he even ate my laptop.

Fans cannot seem to forgive People Magazine for never awarding the title of Sexiest Man Alive to Henry Cavill. Since its inception in the 1980s, the title has been held by several handsome men in Hollywood. Cavill impressed fans with his looks and physique, especially since his portrayal of Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel.
