Music


Genesis
Phil Collins era Genesis to reunite for a tour. The first in 13 years. All in UK, and only about 2.5 weeks worth, for now.

TV/Streaming


Kids in the Hall
In the era of remakes and reboots, here is one that DESERVES to come back! Amazon is taking the honor of being the platform to bring back the classic sketch comedy show from Canada. They have ordered 8 episodes, with all original cast members (Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson) making a return.

The Last of Us
HBO is developing an adaptation of the popular horror game. Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) will write and EP, alongside Niel Druckmann, who created the game. Carolyn Strauss will also executive produce along with Evan Wells, president of game development studio Naughty Dog. The project is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and in association with PlayStation Productions. The project is the first television series from PlayStation Productions.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Taika Waititi is a busy boy. He is doing TWO animated series based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, one based on the “world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and another based on the Oompa Loompas.
Not only did Netflix say that they would retain the “spirit” of the Roald Dahl book, but they also said that this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship with the Roald Dahl Story Company. Could we be seeing a serialized version of Matilda,” “The BFG,” “James and the Giant Peach,” or any other beloved Roald Dahl story?

NOT an Arkham game… GOOD!

Loki
New set pictures show a suspicious female character. Which is fueling rumors about either a female Loki or the Enchantress. Further supported by rumored casting of Cailey Flemming as “Young Sylvie.” Possibly Sylvie Lushton?
