Joshua Jackson starring in ‘UFO’
Is this a version of typecasting? It seems that whenever an actor stars in a popular sci-fi series or movie that they get offered all kinds of roles in the genre. Is it because they have developed a fascination with the genre? Or maybe it is because producers think of them so readily from their […]
‘The Howling’ is to be reborn.
I bet you’d never guess that Hollywood would do another horror remake? Ha, just kidding the executives are going bleed every horror franchise dry. Expect crappy remake after crappy remake. Why?
