James Gunn has been the head of Dcu for some time now but the American filmmaker has failed to give a blockbuster thus far. As a result, DC Studios still waits to be in a comparable rivalry with the Marvel Cinematic Universe because as of now, Marvel is dominating the industry.
James Gunn
In order to start things over, Gunn recently decided to reboot the DC Cinematic Universe in The Flash movie. As a result, we saw a lot of actors bid farewell to their roles.
James Gunn talked to Joe Manganiello about his future as Deathstroke
Although he did not have a big part in the Dceu, Joe Manganiello portrayed the iconic role of Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke in Jack Snyder’s Justice League in 2017. After his cameo appearance in the movie, Manganiello was supposed to play the primary villain of Ben Affleck‘s Batman movie, but that project was eventually scrapped.

Bad Grandmas recounts the misadventures of senior citizens Mimi (Henderson), Coralee (Grier), Bobbi (Wall), and Virginia (Eaton), whose quiet life is upended when Bobbi’s son-in-law, Jim (Wassilak), cons her and she loses her house. Mimi, the unofficial leader of the group, decides to take matters into her own hands but things spin out of control, and Jim is inadvertently killed. It isn’t long before local detective Randy McLemore (Batinkoff) begins to investigate. Adding further complication, and danger, is Jim’s criminal associate Harry Lovelace (Reinhold), who’s on the hunt to collect the money his partner owes him.

The one and only Pam Grier will be honored by Cinema St. Louis with a ‘Women in Film Award’ when she’s in town for this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival. Pam’s iconic movie career began when she moved to Los Angeles in the late ‘60s from her native North Carolina at age 18. After a tiny role in Russ Meyer’s Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls (1970), she landed a job as a receptionist for American International Pictures where she was discovered by Jack Hill, an Aip director who cast her in a pair of women’s prison films: The Big Doll House (1971) and The Big Bird Cage (1972). Soon she was known as the “Queen of Blaxploitation” at a time when film roles for African-American women were, as Grier puts it, “practically invisible, or painfully stereotypical”.

Before he made the fateful film Fatal Call, St. Louis-based filmmaker Jack Snyder (who’s since moved to La) made a forgotten slasher movie that also has the word ‘Fatal’ in the title (read my interview with Jack Here). Fatal Exam, shot on 16mm film was shot in its entirety in 1985, but due to budget constraints, post-production was not completed until 1990. Fatal Exam tells the tale of a group of university students who are invited by their parapsychology professor to investigate a haunted house for the weekend.

Director Griff Furst’s Cold Moon screens Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:00pm at The Tivoli Theater as part of this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival. Furst and Cold Moon screenwriter Jack Snyder will be in attendance. Ticket information can be found Here.
The supernatural crime thriller Cold Moon tells the story of Nathan Redfield (Josh Stewart), an arrogant man of great wealth who has either lost his mind or is being tormented by terrible forces beyond even the most paranoid of imaginings. In a sleepy Southern town, the Larkins have suffered a terrible tragedy, but the family is now about to face an even more grievous trial. As traffic lights blink an eerie warning, a ghostly apparition prowls the streets, and corpses erupt from the graves of the local cemetery in an implacable march of terror. And beneath the murky surface of the river, a shifting, vaguely human shape slowly takes form,...

Review by Dana Jung
Film noir. Femme fatale. American cinema has borrowed these expressions and made them into a unique style of storytelling all its own. The new thriller Fatal Call relies on many of the conventions of these genres to tell its tale of greed, betrayal, lust, and phone calls. Shot in and around the bi-state region of St. Louis, Missouri, the film uses its location budget well with muted cinematography and shots of the cityscape giving it a Midwestern Blood Simple. vibe.
Veteran actor Jason London (who was Jason of the Argonauts in the TV version) is Mitch, an average laid-back white collar guy out for drinks with a few friends. While there, he meets Amy (Danielle Harris), who seems to share some of his interests. They click and start dating, but after their first romantic interlude her angry husband shows up. Things spiral downward from there, and...

HollywoodNews.com: I’ll have red carpet coverage galore from the 2010 Daytime Emmy Awards later today and lots and lots of bits of news that I picked up from here and there.
Chatted up just about everyone I really wanted to including Susan Lucci, Bonnie Hunt, Tuc Watkins, Michael Muhney, Jon Hensley, Eden Reigel, Brandon Beemer, Mark Hapka, Shawn Christian, Carolyn Hennesey, Doug Davidson, Drew Tyler Bell, Zach Conroy and Austin Peck, among many others.
But first let’s tell you who won what and share some of the backstage dish and the photos I snapped.
While there is debate about the quality of the telecast itself (Dick Clark tribute too long, As the World Turns Tribute too short etc), I must say that it was a dream backstage where everyone was in a good mood, the food they served us was delish, and the WiFi was nice and speedy!

It was an emotional evening as the 37th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards recognized those in television, honoring Dick Clark for his work on "American Bandstand," and Marie Osmond making one of her first TV appearances since the tragic death of her son. Ryan Seacrest headed up Clark's tribute as friends and those who got their start on "American Bandstand" performed and shared their stories about the TV legend. Dressed in a stunning floor-length gown, Osmond took to the Daytime Emmy stage solo, singing "Paper Roses" in honor of Clark. Following the tribute, Clark broke down in tears, crying in his seat. It was a fond farewell to the long running soap opera "As the World Turns" at the Daytime Emmy Awards. In addition to the tribute, "As the World Turns" star Julie Penson won the first award of the evening for Best Supporting Actress. Michael Park won for his...

Michael Park and Maura West of "As the World Turns" were named best actor and actress in a soap opera at the Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday, an emotional send-off for a show that is going off the air in three months.

"I can't think of a better way to say goodbye to a 13-year run on a 53-year-old show," said Park, who plays Jack Snyder on the...

What's a soap opera character to do after he accidentally kills his brother?
In the case of Jack Snyder on As the World Turns, he sets off on a redemptive road trip, making stops in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Manhattan and Greenville and meeting up with alumni such as Peter Parros and Lesli Kay.
In an interview with TV Guide Magazine, producer Chris Goutman previews this storyline. Here are a few excerpts:
On Jack's state of mind: This is about death and the stages of grief, but it’s also ultimately about healing. Jack is in an emotional tailspin, he’s in crisis, and Michael Park is doing fabulous work in this story. The first place Jack shows up is Philadelphia because he knows Brad once lived there. He goes to this bar - one of Brad’s old hangouts - and he runs into Ben.
This leads him into a journey...

When Jack Snyder and the cast of Watchmen accepted an award for "most anticipated film" at Spike TV's Scream Awards last night, they surprised the audience with an extended cut of the first teaser that premiered a while back (I guess that would make it a trailer). Almost immediately the clip was on youtube and then every fanboy site on the planet. If somehow you missed it you can see it here and take a gander at the new poster that also emerged today on Yahoo.
Despite the legal confusion surrounding the film these days it would appear that we can count on a 03.06.09 release date. Good news I say.
