Despite some initial setbacks, Baywatch became one of the most successful television series ever. While the show centered on a team of lifeguards rescuing people from the deep blue sea, the cast members’ careers stayed afloat as Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, and David Hasselhoff became huge stars after appearing mostly in slow-motion on the small screen. Sun, sea, sand and an all-new cast line-up are set to feature in the big budget film adaptation of the hit series, which is currently in production....

Those hoping to see 28 Months Later one day have had their hopes dashed, after Alex Garland stated that he does not believe a further 28 Days Later sequel will ever happen.

Helping to popularise the fast-moving zombie idea through its Rage-infected hordes, 28 Days Later is still a terrifying film and a haunting look at how fast society can fall apart....

At this point in his long career, actor Nicolas Cage has been seen as kind of a joke for so long that it’s getting harder and harder to remember just how good he can be when he really gives it his all.

It’s pretty evident that none of the villains in Suicide Squad are just starting out. The entire premise of the film revolves around taking the worst of the worst out of their cells and giving them specific objectives, with the idea being that if they fail their mission or get out of control, it will just look like business as usual for bad guys. It hadn’t been revealed just how they got locked up in the first place, however....

Today, Apple refreshed its Apple TV 4K, adding support for Samsung’s HDR10+ standard in addition to the existing Dolby Vision. Apple also brought a more powerful processor and USB-C remote, but if you want your Apple TV to offer support for Thread networking – a smart device standard – you’ll have to dish out for the more expensive version with Ethernet and 128GB of storage this time around.

Animated series Vixen may have been a shot in the dark for CW Seed following the huge success of The CW network’s take on some of DC’s most-loved superheroes, but with the Arrowverse’s large fan base obviously getting behind the animated series and encouraging Arrow creators to bring Vixen (Megan Echikunwoke) to the live-action show for a guest spot earlier this year, super-producer Marc Guggenheim has now also been working on spin-off animated series Freedom Fighters: The Ray....
