TheMortal Kombat gamesare filled with bizarre and fearsome fighters, but one thing that few of them possess is a sense of humor. The fighter called Kano is one of the few characters in the series who often jokes about the strange world ofMortal Kombat. This sense of humor has always endeared Kano to fans, even though the character is always presented as a villain. Josh Lawson will portray Kano in the upcoming live-actionMortal Kombat movie....

WhileJohn Carpenteris one of thegreatest horror filmmakers of all time, he’s just as talented as a musician. Carpenter would often provide the score for the films he directed, including his breakout horror featureHalloween.

Fans just love Carpenter’s music, and Shudder has taken notice, offering him the chance to compose new theme music for the streaming service....

As it stands,Loganis the darkest film in the X-Men franchise by a mile. Nothing we’ve seen in the major release comic genre even touches its grim nature.

Fans are going to be discussing this one for a long time. I feel some will lament its humorless approach. Logan is the anti-Deadpool....

The actor, who appears in this weekend’s video game adaptationAssassin’s Creed, doesn’t reveal whom he would have played. But we can make a pretty good guess. Most of the new characters inStar Wars: The Force Awakensare young and in their twenties....

Original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle just recorded some breathing forHalloween Kills. The actor posted a picture of himself on social media at a studio while in front of a microphone. Castle was the man who brought the villainous Myers to life in John Carpenter’s l978 horror classicHalloween. He is involved in the latest movies from Blumhouse, but actor James Jude Courtney does the majority of the heavy Myers lifting these days, though it appears that all the “voice” work will be provided by Castle in the next two installments....

A brand new poster for the upcoming WWI zombie thrillerOverlordhas arrived online. The movie comes from J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot and, though he’s not in the director’s chair for this one, as he’s busy filmingStar Wars 9, this very much looks like something he would cook up.
