Movies

Follow-ups/Corrections
Fear Street - The R.L. Stine adaptation trilogy from Leigh Janiak, has found a home on Netflix. The movies will begin next summer 2021, and be released a month apart from each other.
The Flash - Ezra Miller has been used for promotion for the Fandome event.

Movie Theaters
AMC and Metrolux will be opening their doors again on August 20th. AMC will be celebrating with 15 cent movies. Since that was the price when they opened their first theater in 1920. Those prices are for old movies (Star Wars, Inception, etc.). Then after the first day back, they will continue to show classic movies for $5.

Batman: Soul of the Dragon
Not only is the next iteration of the animated DCU going to take place in the 70s, BUT it also has a voice cast. David Giuntoli as Batman, Michael Jai White as Bronze Tiger, Kelly Hu as Lady Shiva, and Mark Dacascos as Richard Dragon… Yeah, the guy from Grimm is going to voicing Batman. Could be great actually.

Twilight of the Mallrats
Sounds like things are shaping up for Kevin Smith’s next sequel in the View Askewniverse, as Ben Affleck has reportedly voiced interest in reprising his role as the now felony convicted Shannon Hamilton.

Rumor Mill
