‘Clone High’ Reboot Ordered by HBO Max, as Streamer Bulks Up Animated Originals Lineup
The upcoming “Clone High” reboot is headed to HBO Max, which will also host a slew of new and returning adult animated television shows.

WarnerMedia announced HBO Max had ordered two seasons of “Clone High,” a third season of “Close Enough,” as well as two new original series titled “Velma” and “Fired on Mars” during a virtual panel at the Television Critics Association 2021 Winter Press Tour. The titles will significantly bulk up HBO Max’s slate of adult animated shows, which have become increasingly popular on streaming services in recent years.

The “Clone High” reboot has been expected. MTV announced that it was rebooting the cult hit comedy series in July 2020, though a distributor wasn’t announced at the time. The original show centered on a high school populated by famous historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, and Gandhi and was lauded as one of the greatest

Velma Scooby-Doo Prequel Series Is Coming to HBO Max from Mindy Kaling

Velma Scooby-Doo Prequel Series Is Coming to HBO Max from Mindy Kaling
Mindy Kaling is teaming up with HBO Max to develop an animated series about Velma from Scooby-Doo. The show has been given a straight-to-series order by the streamer along with multiple other adult animated series. Kaling is on board to executive produce the series in addition to providing the voice of Velma in the Scooby-Doo spinoff.

Although it's inspired by a popular children's cartoon series, Velma is described as an "adult-focused" animated comedy, suggesting the show will likely be developed for more mature Scooby-Doo fans. The series serves as an origin story of the "bespectacled and underappreciated brain in the Scooby gang," offering a look at the "complex and colorful past of one of Scooby-Doo's beloved mystery solvers."

Velma stems from an overall deal between Mindy Kaling and Warner Bros. TV to produce multiple original shows for the studio. Executive producing Velma alongside Kaling are longtime collaborator Charlie Grandy, 3 Arts' Howard Klein,

Which Supporting Actress Oscar nominees had more screen time than the nominated leads?

Which Supporting Actress Oscar nominees had more screen time than the nominated leads?
Two years after John Ireland (“All the King’s Men”) became the first supporting Oscar nominee to deliver a longer performance than a lead nominee from the same film (Broderick Crawford) in 1949, Kim Hunter (“A Streetcar Named Desire”) did the same versus Marlon Brando. Since then, nine more Best Supporting Actress nominees have had higher screen time totals than a co-star nominated in a lead rce. Here is a look at each instance, in order from lowest screen time difference to highest.

1961: Mary Ure (“Sons and Lovers”) – 21 minutes, 4 seconds

0 minutes, 50 seconds over Trevor Howard

Although she is absent from nearly all of the first half of “Sons and Lovers,” Ure still manages to appear in over 20% of the film. Up to that point, less than half of all Best Supporting Actress-nominated performances had reached that mark. Howard’s performance, on the other hand, did not reach that percentage, but he received a lead nomination regardless.

A Tiny Toons Reboot is Coming to us from HBO Max and Cartoon Network

A Tiny Toons Reboot is Coming to us from HBO Max and Cartoon Network
The Animaniacs and Looney Tunes were given a chance to come back, so it feels right that Tiny Toons would be given a chance as well, but it’s going to be enough to wonder just how they’ll be coming back and if they’ll be able to pull off the same pranks as they did in the past. The Tiny Toons were more or less younger representations of the original Looney Tunes since Babs and Buster Bunny (no relation) were two of the top toons in the school where they were taught by the original toons such as Bugs, Daffy, Elmer,

What is the Song in the Dune Trailer?

What is the Song in the Dune Trailer?
There’s no shortage of amazing stuff in the first trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, the much anticipated new adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel. While the film has been brought to the screen once before, in the hands of David Lynch (who infamously took his name off it in favor of the pseudonymous Alan Smithee), the beloved book has never been given a truly faithful adaptation.

From the looks of that trailer, that’s going to change in Villenueve’s capable hands. Here’s that trailer in case you haven’t seen it yet…

Now, about that mysterious chanting that then reveals itself as a song…

What you’re hearing is a brand new Hans Zimmer arrangement of Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” which is the final song on their famed Dark Side of the Moon album. “Eclipse” is almost never heard without its partner song, “Brain Damage

Every Movie And TV Show Headed To Disney+ In April 2020

Every Movie And TV Show Headed To Disney+ In April 2020
Though it’s yet to launch in the UK and other parts of Europe, Disney+ has already proven itself to be a major player in North America – thanks in large part to its suite of digital content, which ranges from Marvel Studios to Star Wars and everything in between.

And much like its online peers, Disney+ is still to roll out a fresh wave of content for April 2020, beginning with Doctor Dolittle on April 1st – not to be confused with the recent remake starring McU mainstay Robert Downey Jr.

What’s more, April marks Earth Month, so you can expect plenty of eco-friendly documentaries to air via National Geographic. Indeed, it’s fair to say that the Disney+ lineup has fast become one of the most diverse on the market. From new episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars to age-old classics like Doctor Dolittle, there’s really something for everyone.

From Streams to Screams Special Edition: More Than 70 Genre Comedies and Absurd Cult Classics to Keep Your Spirits Up
I don’t think it’s much of a secret that right now, there is a lot of uncertainty in the world, and I’m not sure how you’re feeling, but this writer could use a little levity in her life right about now. So, with that in mind, I decided to scour a bunch of the various streaming services out there—Vudu, Tubi TV, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Hulu, Netflix, Crackle and YouTube—to put together the ultimate list of “not so serious” horror and sci-fi movies (and one animated series!) that are currently available to watch from the comfort of your own home, as we hunker down and navigate these uncertain times.

Some of these services are free (usually with ads) and some are platforms that you need a subscription for, but with more than 70 different titles here that range from horror comedy to social satire to pitch-black

February’s home media releases are an exceptional bunch, led by Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep adaptation, which is headed to a variety of formats, including 4K Ultra HD.

We also have a few older titles that are making their way to Blu this week, including Frank Henenlotter’s Brain Damage and Evil Ed, and if you somehow don’t already own them, both the original Halloween and Halloween (2018) are being released on Blu as a double feature from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

For today’s selection of horror movies that are currently streaming on a variety of platforms—Shudder, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Vudu and Tubi TV—we’re taking a trip back in time to the 1970s and 1980s, which were arguably two of the greatest decades in genre storytelling.

‘Westworld,’ now with 100% more Sad Aaron Paul, looks like a totally different show in first Season 3 trailer [Watch]

Before HBO aired the series finale of “Game of Thrones” Sunday night, it bombarded us with a bunch of trailers and promos to remind us, “Hey, we’ve got other shows too!” One of those trailers probably had you thinking in its first minute, “Hmm, this new Aaron Paul show looks interesting. I’ll watch it,” before you realized, “Holy sh–! I do watch this Aaron Paul show!” That’s because this Aaron Paul show is “Westworld,” and that Season 3 teaser is here to tell us that this ain’t our grandma’s “Westworld” anymore.

Backed by Pink Floyd‘s “Brain Damage,” the new footage reveals a whole new (west)world in Season 3. Gone is the robo-Western fantasy park of the first two seasons; here now is a more conventional futuristic, tech-savvy setting, still populated with robots. Plus, Sad Aaron Paul searching for purpose, meaning, “something, someone real,” you know the drill.
