Screenwriter Zak Penn (whose name I type as Zap every time, not intentionally, it just happens on my cpu) has a #1 film at the world box office right now. That’s pretty frakking exciting, and I was lucky enough to get to speak with him right after the Los Angeles premiere. Also, no, he’s still […]

I have a lot to say about Ready Player One,  the film adaptation of Ernie Cline‘s book of the same title. The problem is- anything I say from a particular point of view will spoil the film, and I don’t want to do that.  Yet. This will be as spoiler free as I can make it, […]

WonderCon in Anaheim has steadily increased its major studio presence over the past few years, and in 2018 that meant Warner Bros. Specifically, at least from looking at how packed the area was during the presentation, Ready Player One. The film screened back at South by Southwest (SXSW) and was pretty much the main movie discussed […]

WB dropped a bunch of Ready Player One stuff today, including a new trailer and two new posters, as well as the launch of a mobile game that ties into the film. There was also an aural treat — one that RP1 fans have been looking forward to for quite some time. The first piece of composer Alan […]

Yeah so I personally am more than a little excited for Ready Player One, as you may have gathered from the numerous pieces I’ve done covering the ramp up to tonight’s premiere at South By Southwest (SXSW), and world opening on March 29th. It made sense for Warner Bros to premiere the film there, given author Ernie […]

We knew it was a distinct possibility, but this morning it was confirmed that Warner Brothers’ upcoming film adaptation of Ernie Cline’s Ready Player One will have its official world premiere during South by Southwest (SXSW). Director of Film at SXSW Janet Pierson sent out an email statement announcing the premiere: “We are thrilled to be premiering […]

It seems like Warner Bros. is FINALLY getting really into their marketing drops of Ready Player One. Not surprising with the film opening next month, and about damn time. Yesterday, we got five posters of the High Five, and before that — the new poster. This morning, the official RP1 Twitter account posted a brand-new (and final) trailer, […]

March 2018 can’t get here soon enough, because that’s when we get Ready Player One from Warner Bros. Director Steven Spielberg was the perfect choice to put Ernest Cline’s novel on the silver screen, the prevalence of his filmography being integral parts of the story notwithstanding. In a new video posted today on the official RP1 twitter, we […]

What will Steven Spielberg direct next? Sources are swirling in Tinseltown that maybe, just maybe, he’ll be returning to a particular popular archaeology professor. Last year it was reported that Spielberg was definitely planning a 5th installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, and Kathleen Kennedy confirmed (in 2015) that both Steven and Harrison Ford were interested in coming back for […]

Fans of the animated series Animaniacs are very familiar with the main characters- Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, and it looks like a new crop of kids will get to know them too. Hulu just placed a 2 season series order for a new Animaniacs animated series, which will see the return of the three Warner siblings.  Pink […]
