Hi everyone, Bryan here….
It’s been proven over the last two decades that filmmaker Darren Aronofsky makes movies his own way. He doesn’t bow down to Hollywood execs and never makes movies for the masses. Most people would fail with this tactic, but with Aronofsky, he wins awards and is met with critical acclaim. With films like Pi, Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, and The Wrestler (I won’t mention Noah) – you can tell that Aronofsky doesn’t make tightly wrapped, happy movies with pretty little bows on them. I commend him for this, because he’s doing something that nobody else is doing.

Neil Gaiman Is Personally Adapting ‘Good Omens’ For Series!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
When Neil Gaiman wants to tell you a story, you stop and listen. Having said that, listen up!
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
You or I couldn’t come up with something this wonderful, but Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett could, and they did. ‘Good Omens‘ is what it’s better known as and it’s gloriously funny in the way only these brilliant writers could be. I’m not sure what emotion I like more, the absolute elation I felt as I read the book, or the giddy joy in finding out that this book has made the long trek to being realized as a series on Amazon Prime!!!
Oh yes, you read that right, and it’s only taken 27 years. What could possibly be better you ask? Neil Gaiman will PERSONALLY be handling the adaptation, writing each script and serving as the showrunner. Amazon Studios and BBC will co-produce what is to be 6 hour-long episodes that will air in 2018. The great thing, for those of us with an Amazon Prime subscription, is that the miniseries will premiere on Amazon Prime video first before it goes to BBC.

New Stephen King Adaptation To Feature Samuel L. Jackson?!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Director Josh Boone, from ‘The Fault In Our Stars‘ is diving into the deep end for his next project. This could mean a few things in the world of film-making, I could be talking about his announced writing/directing gig for ‘X-Men: The New Mutants‘, but I’m not. I’m talking about not one, but two Stephen King adaptations Boone is taking on, with one of them being ‘The Stand‘. Crawl before you run, young padawan. Anyhow, the other adaptation is what’s in the news today, Boone is looking to make King’s 2014 book ‘Revival‘ the current project getting his attention.

‘Zombies VS Robots’ Moving From Comic Book To Feature For Sony!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes and Sony have snapped up one of the original zombie stories left on the market. We’ve seen zombies make one hell of a surge in popularity the last few years, from the occasional horror flick, to being staples in TV series, even romantic storylines and we’ve seen the zombies fight aliens, humans, animals and all things in between, but not robots, yet and that is about to change.
WTF: Sony Cancels Release of ‘The Interview’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
I wish I had better news to write here, but unfortunately I don’t. For the past eight months or so, we here at Boomstick and across the nation, have all been excited and looking forward to seeing a new film called ‘The Interview‘ that stars Seth Rogen and James Franco. We’ve posted trailers, posters, and articles related to the film, which follows Rogen and Franco playing versions of themselves who are tasked with heading to North Korea and taking out the supreme leader Kim Jong-Un.
‘Wolves’ Feature Film Red Band Trailer Is Here!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
We’ve got a new trailer for you today! ‘Wolves‘ from writer director David Hayter is coming to VOD on October 16 and to select theaters nationwide beginning November 14. Hayter has acted in many films in bit parts, but his true talent was for screenwriting. He penned the screenplays for 2000’s ‘X-Men‘ and the follow up ‘X-Men 2‘, ‘The Scorpion King‘, ‘Watchmen‘ and has just been announced to tell the story of ‘Black Widow‘ and ‘World War III‘.
Check out the Hot Tub Time Machine 2 Trailer Here!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
I’ve been anticipating ‘Hot Tub Time Machine 2‘ since I saw the last one. We got our hands on not only the trailer for the new flick, but the red-band trailer. It looks like as much fun as the first was with one small hitch. Adam, the John Cusack Adam, is absent. Instead of John Cusack, we have Adam Scott, not that it’s going to ruin the movie, but the same guys we started the journey with are not the same guys we’re going to end it with. Lou and Nick are still being played by Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson, Chevy Chase is back as the repairman and Clarke Duke is Jacob. This time instead of re-living the past, they’re taking on the future.
Film Review: ‘Her’!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Usually, the month of January is reserved for films that tend to fall below the less than average category, and are almost always immediately forgettable and tend to leave a bad taste in your mouth like a caramel onion. However, with Spike Jonze’s original and fresh tale on the age old story of finding love in the most unlikely place, ‘Her‘ might be the one of the best films not only to be released in January, but in the last few years. I have no doubt that this beautiful and smart film will win tons of awards as well as make a decent sized dent at the box office by word-of-mouth.
