It’s Morphin Time In The Latest ‘Power Rangers’ Trailer!

by Natalie Kipper

Many of today’s adult nerds can remember watching Power Rangers on their clunky television sets as children. The Amercan-ized version of the first season  is getting a very swanky movie remake and I can imagine many of us will be lining up to buy tickets. A shiny, new trailer was released today for the film. Let’s have a look.

With its somewhat darker tone, I feel like the film is catering more to the older fans who grew up with the series. That is not to say it looks bad by any means, quite the opposite in fact. I had my doubts initially but this trailer has piqued my interest in the title.

Here’s The Story Of A Lovely… ‘Brady Bunch’ Reboot!

by Scott Alminiana

These days movies and television are all about rebooting everything. If you needed further proof of this just turn on your TV and look at shows like Hawaii Five-0 and 90210 or movies like the upcoming Total Recall. Hollywood truly is all about remakes.

Get ready for the latest reboot! TV’s favourite family The Brady Bunch is the latest show to get the reboot treatment. Deadline is reporting that CBS is developing the reboot and it’s being co-developed and executive produced by Vince Vaughn. The original Brady Bunch was created by Sherwood Schwartz and it ran on ABC from 1969-1974.

In the new Brady Bunch, written by Mike Mariano (Raising Hope, My Name Is Earl), a divorced Bobby Brady, with children of his own, is remarried to a woman who also has kids, and together they also share a child. In addition, their ex-spouses are still part of their lives. The changes in the premiere reflect the evolution of family dynamics over the past four decades. Back in 1969, Schwartz wanted Carol to be a divorcée but the network refused, so the end of her first marriage was never addressed.

Lloyd Schwartz, the son of Sherwood Schwartz, will executive produce the reboot along with Vaughn, Victoria Vaughn and Peter Billingsley through Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Picture Show Prods.

Sabrina The Teenage Witch Being Made Into a Live-Action Superhero Film

It’s April 12th and we’re still posting April Fools Jokes? Actually we aren’t.  Deadline has reported that Sony Pictures is “re-imagining” the classic Archie Comics title with some of the original publishers of the comic as the producers.  The site says about the movie ” it will be an origin story in the vein of Spider-Man, about a young girl coming to terms with her remarkable powers.”

Mark Walters is in line to direct the project, scheduling permitting. Casting is sure to be an interesting process that we’ll want to keep an eye on for this project, but as of now, relatively few details have been released from Sony. Stay tuned for further updates when we attempt to answer the pivotal question, “why bother?”
