Guardians of The Galaxy is fast approaching, friends!  And James Gunn does his best to post a #GoTGPictureADay for fans.  Today, it was of Michael Rooker as Yondu:

Here is what we do know about the next incarnation of Doctor Who.  PThe episode will place the newly-regenerated Twelfth Doctor (P-Caps) and his companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) to the Victorian era and will see the welcome return of the “Paternoster Gang” (a name I truly can’t stand, to be honest), consisting of Madame […]

Here we have two more specialty San Diego Comic Con International exclusives, this time from the Tonner Doll company. The first is a fantastic vintage Wonder Woman:  “This resin, dressed Tonner character figure comes with raven removable wigged saran hair, a red shantung bodice with metallic gold embroidery, navy blue pleated shorts with printed stars […]

He’s been Magneto, Gandalf, and almost every Shakespearean monarch written.  But here we have the first look at Sir Ian McKellen as legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes as it was posted today: Not much is known about the film yet, it’s in the early stages of production.  We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
