Milla Jovovich is preparing to do battle with zombies again and will star with Betty Gabriel in Twilight Of The Dead, which Brad Anderson will direct and Roundtable Entertainment is producing in collaboration with the Romero estate. Fortitude International is kicking off sales at AFM.

Jovovich is the star of the Resident Evil franchise, and has also led films like Fifth Element and Monster Hunter. Gabriel’s credits include Get Out, while Anderson has directed films like Beirut, The Machinist and Transsiberian.

Twilight Of The Dead is scheduled to begin production in March 2025 and marks the culmination of Romero’s...

What Halloween would be complete without some groaning, flesh-eating zombies? We’ve got a list of the eight best zombie movies that are streaming right now.

Whether you’re in the mood for some hard-core, blood-thirsty living dead richness or a flick that will give you a reason to snuggle closer to boo your boo (pun intended), we’re here to deliver the ultimate zombie classics that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Take a look at the eight titles you can watch right now through streaming.

“Dawn of the Dead” (Universal Pictures) “Dawn of the Dead” (2007)

Of course, George A. Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead” will always stand the test of time, but let’s not act like Zack Synder didn’t do his thing with his remake of the film in 2004. In this new vision, an unlikely group of Milwaukeeans come together inside a...

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. It was The House of the Dead that first evolved the flesh-eaters from the lumbering stumblers that...

Stars: Douglas Smith, Kimberly-Sue Murray, Carrie-Anne Moss, Frank Grillo, Jonathan Cherry | Written and Directed by Lowell Dean

Die Alone is the most recent film from Saskatchewan-based filmmaker Lowell Dean. If you’ve heard of him, it’s probably because of the over-the-top genre comedies WolfCop and Another WolfCop. But he’s done several other films, including the zombie film 13 Eerie and the post-apocalyptic action film SuperGrid, which I was lucky enough to catch along with a Q&a session with him at the Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival a few years back.

Both zombies and a post-apocalyptic setting return in Die Alone, but it’s not a typical tale of the zombie apocalypse, although that isn’t easy to tell from the opening scenes. Ethan and his girlfriend Emma were heading to his cabin when their car crashed. Ethan wakes up to find Emma and most of his memories, are missing.

By the time Toby Wilkins’ 2008 film Splinter first arrived on the scene — a limited theatrical premiere on Halloween — zombies were everywhere. Yet the first-time director managed to rework the already overused concept into something fresh, not to mention plain creepy. And with its preference for practical effects wizardry, Splinter stood out from its fellow high-concept horrors made on a low budget.

Splinter references the grandfather of cinematic zombies, George A. Romero’s iconic Night of the Living Dead, in a number of ways, apart from the most obvious. Indeed the characters are holed up and fighting for their lives against the walking dead, although in this case, an isolated gas station rather than a farmhouse serves as their refuge. Other films tend to use these pitstops as we do in real life; they are temporary detours before heading off for a proper destination. Instead the director and screenwriters bring the journey to a screeching halt,...

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.

Land of the Dead was released in a special edition 4K by Scream Factory on October 15th.

Zombies aren’t traditionally depicted as intelligent. They’re monsters motivated by the relentless drive to feast on human flesh and brains. George A. Romero, the iconic horror filmmaker behind classics such as Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, first introduced the idea of intelligent zombies in Day of the Dead. He takes that idea and ramps it up for his forth installment in the living dead series.

George A. Romero is significantly responsible for my love of horror. His early works, especially Monkey Shines and Martin, mesmerized me. But it was his work in the world of zombies...

There’s a popular idiom often attributed to Picasso about how good artists copy and great artists steal. Naturally, this isn’t referring to plagiarism, but rather the idea that it’s better for an artist to reproduce something directly from the source instead of simply regurgitating it as-is. The way I see it, this sentiment also applies to creative rip-offs, as I’ll take an unlicensed cash-grab over endless sequels any day of the week.

After all, this is how we got beloved franchises like Friday the 13th (the original film was an attempt at capitalizing on the success of Halloween) and even Star Wars (A New Hope was meant to be a cheap Flash Gordon knock-off). And in honor of all the rip-offs that continue to feed the ouroboros that is popular culture, we’ve decided to come up with a list celebrating six spooky Mockbusters that are actually worth your time.

Although George A. Romero didn’t pioneer the concept of the zombie movie, he undoubtedly perfected it, especially with Dawn of the Dead. Ever since its success, this particular subgenre of horror has been hacked, slashed, killed, and resurrected from its grave for the big as well as the small screen. But how many of these attempts were truly refreshing? Shaun of the Dead is a personal favorite of mine as it used the zombie apocalypse to trigger a man’s maturity. The use of found footage filmmaking to cover a zombie outbreak never got better than Rec. Setting up a romance between a human and a zombie in Warm Bodies was pretty unique. Humans fighting zombies inside a train in Train to Busan was excellent. I can’t speak to the quality of the film, but I think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies deserves a shout out because it...

Exclusive: When webtoon artist Joo Dong-geun published All of Us Are Dead on Korean platform Naver in 2011, he never expected that it would take 11 years for his zombie story to be turned into a series — one that also became the first Korean show to rank number one on its global top 10 list after Squid Game achieved the feat.

In those 11 years, Joo witnessed how Korean studios and companies awakened to the financial and artistic potential of Korean zombie IP after the success of Train to Busan and Kingdom, as well as the global recognition of Korean webtoons after their adaptations into some of the streamers’ most successful shows. Some of these shows include Disney+’s Moving as well as Netflix’s Sweet Home.

In a way, the long webtoon-to-series journey of All of Us Are Dead reflects some of the biggest shifts in the adaptation business in Korea’s entertainment industry,...

Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin has announced a North American tour for fall 2024. The collective known for iconic film scores like Susperia and Dawn of the Dead is set to perform a special anthology set, as well as the full score for Demons in select cities.

Kicking off (fittingly) on Halloween in Milwaukee, the Simonetti-led band will go on to hit cities like Los Angeles, Austin, Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago. The run extends through December 15th, when the act will perform their final concert of the tour at The Canopy Club in Urbana, Illinois.

Get Claudio Simonetti's Goblin Tickets Here

Tickets for a majority of the shows are on sale now. Fans in Los Angeles and Atlanta can find theirs via Ticketmaster, while tickets for the stops in Orlando, Nashville, Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and Detroit are available via TicketWeb. For the remaining dates, check out Goblin’s official website.

Fans of the zombie genre know that situation involving characters coming to grips with someone they know being infected and waiting for the inevitable. We’ve seen it in films like Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later and Maggie, as well as in video games such as Undying. Now moreblueberries is taking that idea and bringing it to the tabletop RPG realm in its own unique twist with The Time We Have, which will have its BackerKit campaign go live on October 29.

The Time We Have is a two-player storytelling card game about what it means to be a brother—about all the complexity, vulnerability, and joy that comes with it. That “complexity, vulnerability and joy” comes to a head when one brother is infected, with you literally on one side of a closed door, and your brother on the other side. And the conversation turns to saying goodbye.

Spoopy Season is upon us, dear readers, and any cineaste worth their weight in bone matter is likely scouring the world's many streaming services looking for the best fright flicks available. Most casual horror fans may be content to idly re-watch well-trodden classics like "Halloween," while more enterprising gorehounds will be studiously studying the carefully curated films on Shudder. The jaded, more experienced fright fans, however, will require stronger coffee to get their fear fix, and those brave souls may dive face-first into the overstuffed trough of Night Flight or Eternal Family, looking for oddities that the average soul cannot stand. Are you going to watch a gentle film like "Hocus Pocus" this October, or are you the type to try out "Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder in Hell?"

We can say for sure that actor Kevin Bacon, a great actor with impeccable taste, is an aficionado of the genre and likes...

Everyone’s got horror on the mind as we inch closer to Halloween, and that list of “everyone” most definitely includes Kevin Bacon, who has damn sure made his mark on the horror genre over the years. From appearing in the original Friday the 13th to starring in this year’s MaXXXine, Bacon’s horror pedigree is strong – and he’s a genre fan through and through.

Bacon notes in one of the bonus features for MaXXXine, “I’m a huge horror film fan.” And he’s building on that statement over on Twitter today, sharing some of his personal favorites.

“I love October because it’s all about apples and leaves changing and pumpkins, but it’s also about horror movies,” he begins the video. “So here are 20 of my favorite horror movies in no particular order.” The list naturally includes some films the Bacon family has appeared in,...

Stephen King knows horror. The bestselling author has been scaring people for more than 50 years now, with the vast majority of his books being turned into memorable horror movies. Because of this, King's thoughts on the genre often get lots of attention. He has an entire non-fiction book about the art of horror, and he often offers up his opinion on horror movies. In a new essay over at Variety, King tackles a loaded subject: the scariest movie ever made. King is smart enough to acknowledge that the concept of something being thought of as the "scariest" is relative. "My conclusion is that the 'scariest' varies according to the viewer's age," King writes. "As a kid of 16, the scariest movie was 'The Haunting' (directed by Robert Wise). As an adult, it was 'The Blair Witch Project,' with that building sense of doom and those truly horrible last 35 seconds.

Say what you will about Zack Snyder's recent movies, but in 2004 his film career got off to a strong start. His debut movie "Dawn of the Dead," a remake of George Romero's 1978 film of the same title, received largely positive reviews and earned over $100 million at the box office against its $26 million budget. The movie even caught the attention of horror legend Stephen King; in his nonfiction book "Danse Macabre," he described the movie's opening scene as "genius perfected," and argued that it "begins with one of the best opening sequences of a horror film ever made."

"Ana (the gifted actress and director Sarah Polley) is relaxing in bed with her husband, Luis, when they are visited by the cute little skate-girl who lives next door," King wrote. "When Luis goes to see what she wants, cute little skate-girl tears his throat open,...

Following his Rebel Moon films, Zack Snyder is going smaller – and a UFC movie looks to be his next choice. More here.

Over the last couple of decades, Zack Snyder has become synonymous with effects-driven films. 2006’s 300 really pushed him into a career that would includes lots of heavily-stylised superhero and action movies.

With the release of his two Rebel Moon films for Netflix, though, there seems to be a growing line of thought that the filmmaker has pushed his house style to its limits and it feels like both he – and his audience – are ready to try something else.

That doesn’t mean that we’ll never see Zack Snyder use high contrast lighting or slow motion again. When Netflix recently cancelled his planned Army Of The Dead prequels, Snyder said he would be heading back to the ‘insanity’ of that style of filmmaking at some point, but...

After taking a look back at House II: The Second Story (a favorite of mine since childhood), House of 1000 Corpses (which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year), the awesomeness of Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight, the leg smashing in the Stephen King adaptation Misery, three separate moments from John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China, the “Jason vs. Tina” battle in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, the “all hell breaks loose” sequence from the start of Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, the opening sequence of Pitch Black, a cool moment from The Crow, a memorable shark attack from Jaws 2, and a creepy moment from Lost Highway, JoBlo’s own Lance Vlcek is continuing his The Best Scene video series with a look at a scene from the 1990 slasher sequel Child’s Play 2 (watch it Here) – and if you’re familiar with that movie,...

Another “out of left field” moment for sure. Ahead of the physical release next month for Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game, IllFonic has dropped a massive bomb that effects legend Tom Savini and Elvira will be joining the game as the newest characters today for the asymmetrical multiplayer title.

Elvira and Tom Savini are special character skins for female and male humans, respectively. The two ’80s horror icons arrive just in time for Halloween to put a fun spin on the Klown chasing horror. And, as detailed in the game’s roadmap, there will be a new map arriving next month for fans to enjoy.

And just in case you don’t know, Elvira, portrayed by Cassandra Peterson, is a fictional horror hostess known for her campy, charismatic persona. Debuting in the 1980s, she gained fame hosting late-night horror movie broadcasts, characterized by her striking look—a plunging black gown,...

Stars: Frank Grillo, Eden Brolin, Melissa Leo, Andy Garcia, Mekhi Phifer, Beau Knapp, George Carroll, Josh Hutcherson, Juan Pablo Raba | Written by John Swab, Santiago Manes Moreno | Directed by John Swab

Long Gone Heroes marks the fifth collaboration between director John Swab and actor Frank Grillo beginning with Body Brokers and most recently One Day as a Lion. They might not be great cinema, but they’ve been well enough received, and more importantly, they’ve proven popular enough that they keep getting money to make more of them.

This time out, Grillo plays Gunner, ex-special forces, ex-husband, and all the other usual exes. His niece Julia is a journalist working on a story about a group violating US sanctions and bringing Venezuelan oil into the country. This gets her grabbed by some very dangerous people.

Complicating matters further is that her mother Olivia is not only a US senator,...

The V/H/S series of horror anthology films are, by their nature, a mixed bag of tones, subgenres, and filmmaking styles all huddled under the same formal canopy. In any single installment of the series—which now runs to seven main films, two spinoffs, and some TV shorts in the span...

Every horror fan has their blind spots, those subgenres or movements in movies that they just haven’t gotten around to for whatever reason. The two biggest for me are giallo (which thanks to the Criterion Channel I’m currently working on) and the films of the first decade of the 21st century. For me it was simply a matter of not having the time. As these films were coming out, I got married to my lovely, but non-horror-loving wife, and my children were born. I couldn’t usually get away to check out the latest Saw film or sneak Hostel 2 into my DVD player while the kid was taking a snooze on my lap. That’s just how things go. There’s also the fact that I was pretty devoted to critics like Roger Ebert at the time.

Though I still have respect for many of them, it...

Dawn of the Dead (which, somewhat ironically, was written by DC Studios boss James Gunn) was Zack Snyder's first feature, but 300 undoubtedly put him on the map as a filmmaker.

The movie, deemed unfilmable by some, was a surprise hit and gave the future Justice League helmer the chance to later tackle another tricky adaptation: Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen.

The likes of Terry Gilliam and Darren Aronofsky had tried and failed to do something with the property, and Snyder's Watchmen - which was strikingly comic accurate outside of the giant squid's absence - was released to mixed, albeit mostly positive, reviews in 2009.

Unfortunately, it grossed just $185 million on a then-sizeable $120 million budget. The movie hasn't quite managed to achieve cult classic status in the years since, but Watchmen still has more than its fair share of fans.

Talking to ComicBook.com about Netflix's Twilight of the Gods,...

Filmmaker Zack Snyder seems to be on a roll. After releasing the R-rated director’s cut of his space opera Rebel Moon, the filmmaker announced that work had begun on a TV series based on his breakthrough film 300. It was announced earlier this year that a prequel series was in development at Warner Bros. with Snyder’s team producing.

While fans are excited for a Game of Thrones-esque series set in Frank Miller’s 300 universe, they seem to be a bit weary of Zack Snyder’s involvement as a writer. Many have expressed their disdain for his original works such as the Rebel Moon franchise and have requested him to stick to the producing and directing part.

You can stroll past the A Nightmare on Elm Street house. You can take a picture of yourself dead at the bottom of the stairs from The Exorcist. And you can even shop inside the actual mall from the original Dawn of the Dead. But what Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in Hardwick Township, New Jersey offers is something far more immersive. Their in-house tourism branch Crystal Lake Tours allows horror fans to actually camp at the real Camp Crystal Lake.

An active Boy Scouts camp to this very day, Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco was the filming location for Sean Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, the real campground playing the role of the fictional Camp Crystal Lake for the original 1980 horror classic. It’s a fact that the camp shunned up until around 2011, when they finally decided to embrace their role in horror history and give fans the opportunity to actually step inside one of...

Just like the generations of zombies he helped inspire, the most recent novel from late horror legend George A. Romero was once buried but has been reborn. Romero, who died in 2017, wrote and directed the Night Of The Living Dead series, which also included films such as Dawn Of The Dead,...

It is hard to imagine a Zack Snyder film without his trademark slow-motion shots, extensive CGI, and biblical references. But, the Man of Steel filmmaker’s feature film debut had very less of his signature filmmaking techniques but propelled him into the mainstream. Many fans still believe his remake of Dawn of the Dead is still his best film.

Snyder himself has spoken about being proud of what he could do with the film. A remake of George A. Romero’s classic horror film, the film was written by James Gunn. Both Gunn and Snyder would cross paths again to make two separate iterations of Superman in their careers. Snyder’s debut, despite being his best, is one of his lowest-grossing films.

Zack Snyder is one of the most polarizing filmmakers of this generation.

Producer Eric Newman and wife Dana Newman are doubling down on their commitment to Venice Community Housing. The couple, longtime supporters of the organization, made a $500,000 donation to the nonprofit as a way to support affordable housing initiatives.

Founded in 1988, Vch works to invest in permanently affordable housing, advance health and housing-based solutions for unhoused people, promote youth development and education, and build strategic partnerships based on equity and inclusion.

The organization has more than 300 homes in operation and another 400-plus in development. The nonprofit serves more than 1,300 people, the majority of whom are people of color. Vch is currently inching toward a grand opening of Journey Apartments, 40 units for transition-aged youth experiencing homelessness and people experiencing chronic homelessness.

“On behalf of Vch, we graciously thank the Newmans for their long-term and very generous support,” Vch’s co-executive director Erika Lee said in response to the sizable gift. “Donations like...

In the mid-1980s, 15 years or so after George A. Romero established the modern conception of the "zombie" as an reanimated flesh eater in Night Of The Living Dead, undead cinema found itself lurching toward a high water mark. The single greatest year for the zombie movie might best be...

If there’s one thing horror fans and filmmakers love to do, it’s compare notes on their favourite facets of the genre. About movies, about influences, about giant creepy-crawlies. And most of all, about the different driving trends of the many eras; what we were scared of, and how that bled so openly into the defining genre cinema of the time. From the atomic fallout of the 1950s and the creature features that followed, to the rise of exploitation, and the real-world killers behind the eventual slasher boom of the ’80s, it’s the subtext that an entire community is built on.

So there’s something particularly warm and comforting about Sarah Appleton and Phillip Escott’s similarly-tinged doc Generation Terror, which seeks to unravel the real-world fears behind the particularly grisly output of the 2000s. An era often characterised by iffy remakes and gnarly extremity which made for...

Peacock has announced the lineup of movies, TV shows, and live sports that will be available on the streaming service in September.

Spooky season is nearly here.

And Peacock, Universal’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform, has just unveiled its Halloween programming line-up, full of tricks and treats from the studio’s back catalog, as well as two new series (“Teacup” and “Hysteria!”) for some fresh scares.

In 2022 and ’23, there was at least one big Blumhouse movie that simultaneously debuted on Peacock — in ’22, it was David Gordon Green’s trilogy-capping “Halloween Ends” and last year, it was the video game adaptation “Five Nights at Freddy’s”. This year doesn’t have anything quite like that, but it’s still a powerful collection of titles for every viewer.

The Sept. 1 batch includes classics like “Bride of Frankenstein,” “It Came From Outer Space” and “Werewolf of London;” 1980s favorites like “Halloween III: Season of the Witch,” “The Funhouse” and “The Thing;” along with more modern hits like the original “Candyman,” Jordan Peele’s “Us” and several entries in the “Saw” franchise.

Watch the Trailer for Y2K: "On the last night of 1999, two high school juniors crash a New Years Eve party, only to find themselves fighting for their lives in this dial-up disaster comedy."

Knowing this film comes from Rkss – the Canadian filmmaking collective composed of François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell – I couldn’t wait to see it. These three previously created Turbo Kid and Summer of ‘84. Both excellent movies, with Turbo Kid being one of my very favourite movies. They also have another film out this year – Wake Up – which looks just as great, but for now, I was happy to watch We Are Zombies.

The first thing to note about the movie is that it’s not the usual zombie movie. The directors have tried to do something a little bit different. We see a city infested with the living-impaired — also known as non-cannibal zombies — and...

Zack Snyder is many things as a filmmaker. Chief amongst them? The man is ambitious. While the results of those ambitions are often divisive, nobody can deny that Snyder tends to swing for the fences. He didn't just pitch a "Superman" film to Warner Bros. and DC, he pitched a full-on, wild take on the franchise. It didn't exactly pan out but he had big plans. Similarly, in the aftermath of the mess that was "Justice League," Snyder went to Netflix to make the zombie heist flick "Army of the Dead." It was meant to be the start of a big franchise, with sequels, spin-offs, and more to follow. Now, it looks like the franchise is pretty much dead in the water.

This tidbit comes from a recent profile piece for The Wrap, which focuses on how Zack Snyder and his producing partner, as well as his wife, Deborah Snyder...

Seventeen years after remaking George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, Zack Snyder returned to the realm of zombie cinema with Netflix’s Army of the Dead in 2021, which was supposed to spawn a prequel movie, a live action sequel, and an animated series. To date, only the spinoff prequel – Army of Thieves – has seen the light of day… and that may remain the case.

A new report from The Wrap seems to indicate that Netflix has pulled the plug on the Army of the Dead Universe, with the sequel movie and the animated series being scrapped.

The planned animated series was titled “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,” and last we heard, Snyder’s live action sequel to Army of the Dead was going to be titled Planet of the Dead.

Both projects, however, may have been buried six feet under.

The Wrap reports, “Army of the Dead…...

A few months ago, I wrote an article listing ten movies that – despite being well known – were difficult to find (legally) on any streaming service or even on disc. Those titles ranged from Ron Howard’s Cocoon to movies like Dawn of the Dead (the original). In the comments, many of our readers chimed in with their two cents on films they’ve found difficult to find over the years, so here are a few more challenging-to-find flicks, some of which may surprise you.

Panic Room:

The fact that David Fincher’s Panic Room has never been issued on Blu-ray blows me away. It’s been announced a few times, but a physical release never seems to happen (although you can stream it in HD pretty easily). What gives? You’d think the fact that it has Fincher’s name on it, and stars Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker,...

I’ve never seen a line for the men’s room at the American Cinématheque as long as the one that confronted me at intermission of the marathon screening of Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon” this weekend. Meanwhile, there were so few women in attendance that the ladies’ room had practically no wait at all — a phenomenon that said everything about the crowd that had turned out for a big-screen look at the 373-minute director’s cut of Snyder’s two-part space opera.

To call this roided-out macro-edition of “Rebel Moon” a “director’s cut” is to willingly buy into Netflix’s egregious misrepresentation of a project that had been conceived to exist in two separate versions all along: a by-no-means-neutered and still-plenty-aggro PG-13 version, and now this, a much longer and far gorier cut, crammed with exploding-head carnage so repetitive it starts to be tiresome, along with great big gratuitous helpings of nudity,...

Recently, I wrote an article about how Ron Howard’s Cocoon was hard to find in any format. It came out on DVD many years ago but went out of print and has never been issued on Blu-ray. You also can’t find it digitally on any platform. This is a perfect example of why you should always hang on to your physical media, as I’m lucky enough to own the now out-of-print DVD of that movie, and while it’s far from an ideal copy, it’s something.

But that got me thinking. What other movies are hard to find? I opened up the forum on Twitter, and I was shocked by how many prominent films aren’t available digitally and have gone out of print on disc, making them all the more precious for collectors. At the same time, there are some happy endings, such as Martin Campbell’s No Escape,...

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon movies were meant to kickstart a new sci-fi franchise for Netflix. Unfortunately, reviews from fans and critics alike were largely negative, and it's hard to imagine the streamer now committing to the filmmaker's ambitious (and expensive) plans.

Snyder was, however, given the green light to deliver director's cuts of both Part One: A Child of Fire and Part Two: The Scargiver, now renamed Chalice of Blood and Curse of Forgiveness.

Fans have questioned the need for those, particularly as the whole point of Snyder's deal with Netflix was that he'd be given the creative freedom Warner Bros. took from him in the Dceu. These extended versions clock in at well over three hours each and make some fundamental changes to the stories, but are they better movies?

As we first explained on SFFGazette.com, according to Rotten Tomatoes, yes.

Rebel Moon - Chapter One: Chalice...

Filmmaker Zack Snyder has some amazing visuals to boast of in his filmography even if the films themselves have been divisive. Be it Superman’s flight in Man of Steel or the incredible opening montage in Watchmen, the man knows how to create jaw-dropping imagery that turns superheroes into gods.

While there are many to boast of, Snyder recently revealed what his favorite scene to shoot in the latest Rebel Moon films was. The filmmaker released an R-rated director’s cut for both chapters of the space opera on Netflix and revealed that he was excited for fans to watch the R-rated version of his favorite scene.

Zack Snyder is one of the most fascinating directors in Hollywood right now. While his films are blockbuster-scale action epics, they get an extremely divisive response, and each project’s acclaim differs.

"They just said, 'Take a whack at it and see what you think,'" writer Nicole Perlman explained to Marvel.com in 2014, explaining how the feature film version of "Guardians of the Galaxy" began. Perlman is one of the credited writers on the film. As part of the Marvel Studios writing program, she got to choose from a list of characters that the studio was interested in developing into films in the future. She landed on a rather unconventional choice. "I remember some of my friends were surprised that I had chosen that particular comic, because nobody had heard of it and it was so out there."

Indeed, in 2009 when Perlman first began working on the script, nobody had heard of the "Guardians of the Galaxy...

After nearly three decades of development, Zack Snyder’s unadulterated vision for his Rebel Moon space opera is finally at your fingertips.

Snyder had to take an awfully circuitous path to today’s two-part director’s cut release of Rebel Moon on Netflix. Inspired by Seven Samurai, Star Wars, Heavy Metal magazine and a bevy of other properties, the project that was originally known as The Five began to formulate in 1997 alongside co-writer Kurt Johnstad. Eventually, in 2012, Snyder retrofitted his idea for Star Wars and pitched it to Lucasfilm shortly after Disney acquired the beloved IP from franchise mastermind George Lucas. When that didn’t take, he then tried to sell it as a video game and movie to his DC collaborators at the time, Warners Bros. There was even a period of time where he considered making a TV series with Narcos producer Eric Newman.

2024 has been an extraordinary year for film preservation, with theatrical premieres of new restorations of “The Searchers” and “North by Northwest” unspooling at festivals and repertory houses while pristine new editions of essential films like Michael Powell’s “Peeping Tom” and Martha Coolidge’s “Not a Pretty Picture” become available for home viewing via 4K and Blu-ray releases. The 1952 adventure film “Bwana Devil” is not held in as high regard as those classics by most cinephiles, but its restoration and Blu-ray release from Kino Lorber are just as significant. The first color 3D feature film, “Bwana Devil” was a game changer in Hollywood history, and Kino’s Blu-ray provides the first chance in decades to see it as it was originally presented — an experience that reveals “Bwana Devil” is a far more exciting film than its tepid reputation would indicate.

“Bwana Devil” was the brainchild of writer, producer, and director Arch Oboler,...
