Star Wars: Is Ahsoka Dead in The Rise of Skywalker?

New DVD release,
This Star Wars article contains spoilers. While The Clone Wars season 7 brings Ahsoka Tano’s Prequel era story to an end, this is only the end of the first part of her story. Even if she’s not physically in any of the movies, Ahsoka’s presence is felt all the way to The Rise of Skywalker when she speaks to Rey through the Force during the film’s climactic battle with Palpatine. Although it’s just as likely that her inclusion in this scene is simply a wink at the Star Wars fans who love the character, Ahsoka’s single line in The Rise…

Scoob! The Secret Origin of the New Scooby-Doo Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
This interview contains very mild character spoilers for Scoob!  Like many of us, Scoob! animation coordinator Bill Haller’s first memories of Scooby-Doo center around the long-lost Saturday morning lineup.  “I grew up with Scooby-Doo as part of Saturday morning cartoons. Me and my sister sitting in front of the TV and arguing over what lineup we were going to do. I don’t even know if they have lineups like that anymore?” Heller laughs.  Those warm recollections shaped the director’s childhood, which made taking on Scoob!, the new Scooby-Doo movie from Warner Bros., an incredibly special experience. “Scooby-Doo and Hanna-Barbera were…

New DVD release, , , , ,
With Gangs of London out now in full on Sky Atlantic and Cinemax, and generating a lot of great buzz, it’s no wonder eyes are on what co-creator Gareth Evans will do next. While speculation is rife as to whether Gangs will get a second season, Evans has been working on a different project in lockdown. “I’ve been developing a film while we’ve been in post-production. All of my energy and all of my thinking has been on the film at the moment,” he says, chatting to Den of Geek on Zoom from the back garden of his house.  “Hopefully…

George Miller Confirms Details on Mad Max Furiosa Prequel

New DVD release, , , , ,
Furiosa is set for a grandiose solo return to the big screen… just not Charlize Theron’s portrayal of the post-apocalyptic warrior woman who stole the show in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, according to franchise mastermind George Miller. In a bit of news that essentially verifies what previous reports have come to accept, Miller, in an interview with The New York Times, confirms that his mooted prequel movie centered on Fury Road standout character Furiosa is in the works, having settled a highly-publicized legal dispute with Warner Bros. However, said sequel will not see a role reprisal by Theron. Thus,…

Al Capone: 10 Actors Who Played the Original Scarface

New DVD release, , , ,
Mother of mercy, did the movies mark the beginning of RICO? The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act was named after the character Rico Bandello in what is largely considered to be the first gangster movie, Little Caesar. While Edward G. Robinson’s Rico wasn’t specifically Al Capone in that film, the real-life gangster’s signature cigar fumes are all over it. Josh Trank replaced the Cuban Corona with a carrot in the recent Vertical Entertainment film Capone, which stars Tom Hardy as the title character in his twilight years, suffering from a premature burial. The aging mobster’s memories were buried by…

Scoob! Review: New Scooby-Doo Movie is Goofy and Charming

New DVD release, , , , ,
“Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?” It’s not only the refrain from the classic cartoon theme song of what is arguably Hanna-Barbera’s crown jewel, but it’s also a question many movie fans have been asking for years. Though the franchise has had plenty of hilarious and inventive modern reinterpretations along with loads of home video movie releases, it has been 16 years since the dog detective headlined a big budget Hollywood movie. So that’s why the announcement of a new animated feature, Scoob!, was so exciting. Like pretty much every movie this year, the COVID-19 crisis derailed this film’s hopes for a…

Scarface Remake Finds Its Director in Luca Guadagnino

New DVD release, , , ,
It appears the Scarface remake has a new friend in the director’s chair, but his resume isn’t that little. Indeed, Universal Pictures announced Thursday that Luca Guadagnino, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind 2017’s Call Me By Your Name, has been tapped to direct the long-gestating Scarface reboot. The news comes paired with the announcement that Guadagnino will be working from the version of the screenplay written by Joel and Ethan Coen, who know a thing or two about crime dramas after making such films as Fargo and No Country for Old Men. Their version is additionally built off earlier drafts by…

Scoob!: Where to Watch the New Scooby-Doo Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
Zoinks! There’s a new Scooby-Doo movie that you can watch at home. Yep, following in the footsteps of Trolls World Tour, Warner Bros. will release the Scooby Gang’s latest adventure for home viewing with families trapped in quarantine. As of Friday March, 15, Scoob! becomes available for download on video-on-demand platforms. The film, which comes out of Warner Bros.

The Real History of Al Capone

New DVD release,
New movie Capone is set in the twilight years of America’s most infamous mobster. The slashes across his cheek which gave him his nickname “Scarface” are still there, but the movie is more concerned with deeper wounds. In spite of the Tommy gun and the Cotton Club from Hell scenes, Josh Trank’s Al Capone biopic is a tearjerker, not a gangster movie. Capone is 47 and his mind is rotting from the dementia caused by years of untreated syphilis. But then there were people in the industry who never thought the man who was the face of the mob had…

Hayao Miyazaki’s New Studio Ghibli Film Is Still Years Away

New DVD release, , , , ,
Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki has offered an update on Hayao Miyazaki‘s next film for the Japanese animation powerhouse. Described as a “big, fantastical story”, How Do You Live? is being adapted from Yoshino Genzaburo’s 1937 book, Kimi-tachi wa Dō Ikiru ka. The tale follows a young boy who has to go and live with his uncle after his father dies, and charts how he deals with spiritual growth, poverty, and the overall human experience.

James Cameron Reveals ‘Guilty Pleasure’ Lockdown Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Some vindication has arrived for fans of Paul W. S. Anderson’s Capcom video game adaptation, Resident Evil. Terminator and Aliens director James Cameron has picked it as one of his surprising lockdown movies of choice, though he does describe it as a “guilty pleasure”, a phrase we don’t put a lot of stock in here at Den of Geek – you shouldn’t really feel guilty about liking the things you like, even if they’re objectively bobbins. One person’s ‘trash’ can be another person’s treasure, after all. Cameron revealed 2002’s Resident Evil, which ended up kick-starting a ludicrous but pretty damn…

Community Movie: Gillian Jacobs Says ‘We’re All Down’

New DVD release, , ,
It never was quite the same. While Community was given a brief reprieve from death when NBC cancelled the cult classic sitcom in 2014, the sixth and final season of Community on Yahoo Screen was not the same show. How could it be? While Season 5 featured Donald Glover for roughly half its length, season 6 would also say goodbye to Yvette Nicole Brown and much of the network TV budget that, even when diminished, gave creator Dan Harmon a lot of mileage for his high-concepts. Plus, there was the loss of Chevy Chase/Pierce Hawthorne… Yet the final season still…

Josh Trank Talks Where Fantastic Four Went Wrong

New DVD release, , , ,
In 2015, 20th Century Fox released Fantastic Four, allegedly both a reboot and a brand new take on the popular Marvel Comics superhero team that, back in 1961, launched the modern Marvel Universe as we know it and changed the course of pop culture history. Despite the Four’s importance and success on the page, the property had yet to land a definitive screen incarnation despite several attempts. The 2015 film was not necessarily meant to be that version: instead, it was conceived and positioned as a dark, almost horror-like approach to the material — not unprecedented but also not quite…

The New Mutants Sets August 2020 Release Date

New DVD release, ,
The New Mutants has managed yet again to find a new lease on life for a theatrical release after its most recent setback, which saw the X-Men spinoff movie pulled from its previous April 2020 release (alongside other Disney tentpole offerings,) due to coronavirus concerns. Disney, the inheritor studio of the 20th Century Fox-produced movie, has announced that The New Mutants is now scheduled to hit theaters on August 28, 2020. The new date might make for a bit of déjà vu, seeing as the 2017-shot film was, at one point, scheduled to hit theaters on August 2, 2019, a…

Josie Cotton Talks About Great Songs From Bad Films

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Generation C is being invaded by the B-Girls. 80s cult singer Josie Cotton, best known for blurring the angst of both liberals and conservatives with “Johnny Are You Queer?,” sees the science fiction claustrophobia arising from the coronavirus pandemic and wants to help. Cotton joined the Minutemen’s Mike Watt, the Runaways’ Cherie Currie, and Eddie Spaghetti on the song “Flatten the Curve,” to benefit the Jubilee Consortium and the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Everyone else, she advises to cuddle up with a bad movie. Cotton ventured beyond the valley of the dolls in a “so-bad-they’re-good” movie hunt to accompany this…

Josh Gad to Star in Roland Emmerich Disaster Epic Moonfall

New DVD release, , ,
Roland Emmerich’s next big screen barrage of wanton woe, Moonfall, has found its star in Josh Gad, who’ll be tasked with averting a lunar apocalypse. The signature-styled film, which will see director Emmerich re-team with studio Lionsgate after releasing last year’s historical high-impact WWII thriller, Midway, will see Gad take the lead role amongst a cast that will take shape as a ragtag ensemble destined to be shot into space to combat an orbit-displaced moon, reports THR. Gad’s character, an eccentric named KC Houseman, described as “odd and unkempt in a way that suggests a high level of intelligence and…

Matthew Vaughn Wanted to Cast Daredevil’s Charlie Cox as Superman

New DVD release, , , , ,
Daredevil star Charlie Cox was on Matthew Vaughn’s mind back in 2008 when he found himself on the list that Warner Bros and DC had drawn up for possible directors to pair with their new Superman movie. Though the powers that be eventually chose Zack Snyder to helm what would end up being Man of Steel, and Henry Cavill to star in it, Vaughn was understandably excited about what he could bring to the project, and one of those things could have very well been his Stardust leading man. In a new interview, Vaughn’s frequent collaborator Mark Millar has been…

Al Capone’s Lost Treasure and Why It Was Never Unearthed

New DVD release, , ,
Capone, written and directed by Josh Trank of The Fantastic Four fame, isn’t a gangster film so much as it is a tearjerker. It is set when America’s most infamous gangster is 47 and his mind is rotting from dementia. Beneath the family tragedy is a national mystery. Whatever happened to the millions of dollars Capone stashed before he went to jail for tax evasion? Geraldo Rivera tried to answer this in the run-up to his 1986 TV special, The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vaults. But when he opened Capone’s secret vault in the Lexington Hotel live on TV, there…
