Sylvester Stallone's "Judge Dredd" is not remembered as one of the best sci-fi movies ever, to say the least. Lambasted by critics and disliked by audiences, the 1995 film earned a disappointing $113.5 million at the global box office against a $90 million budget and remains conspicuously absent from lists of Stallone's finest films.

To his credit, Stallone hasn't attempted to bury his futuristic flop. Instead, he's been known to discuss the film when the opportunity calls for it. In 2006, the star addressed some of the issues "Judge Dredd" had while answering fan questions for Ain't It Cool News:

"I think, from what I recall, the whole project was troubled from the beginning. The philosophy of the film was not set in stone – by that I mean 'Is this going to be a serious drama or with comic overtones' like other science fiction films that were successful? So a lotta pieces just didn't fit smoothly.

Imagine if, in modern times, the role of let’s say, DC’s Sgt. Rock went to the literal Rock, Dwayne Johnson. Imagine that he was given creative control over the high budget state of the art project despite having no idea who Sgt. Rock even was initially. Finally, imagine he decided to make it in the vein of all of his films, hiring Kevin Hart to be his sidekick, and royally pissing off fans of the source material along the way. That’s the best modern analogy I can come up with for what happened to 1995’s Judge Dredd. A film that had crew members allegedly taking bets on their director’s life expectancy, an NC17 rating, and Sylvester Stallone screaming I Am The Law!!! This is what happened to Judge Dredd.

Judge Dredd debuted in 1995; a year packed with iconic films. At the time, the superhero craze hadn’t fully kicked in,...

Comic books have inspired some of the most successful movies of the 21st century, from The Dark Knight and Avengers: Endgame to the Fox X-Men and Sony Spider-Man films. Although these films have raked in billions of dollars for Hollywood, it took a while for the medium to earn its respect. The 1990s stand out as a particularly unique and divisive decade for comic adaptations, with superheroes slowly gaining steam despite a campy, low-budget treatment.

While the 1990s saw some comic book disasters, like Steel and Spawn, it also produced some entertaining and faithful adaptations of classic comics, from superheroes to science fiction movies. Not only was the decade a boom for the comic book industry behind the scenes, but it also spawned a variety of enduring films, even if some weren't well-received at the time. Whether it's a gritty revenge movie or a fun superhero flick, most comic fans...

Danny Cannon has racked up a lot of directing credits over the last 35 years, including credits on episodes of CSI, CSI: Miami, Dark Blue, Nikita, Shameless, Gotham, Pennyworth, and Gotham Knights, among others – but he’s best known for making a couple of feature films back in the 1990s: the poorly received Sylvester Stallone comic book adaptation Judge Dredd and the slasher sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (which is indeed canon to the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel that’s being made). Now, Deadline reports that Cannon has signed on to direct a high-concept horror thriller called Obey, which Altitude will be presenting to potential buyers at the European Film Market.

Written by Brandon and Kurtis Birtell (Medal of Honor), Obey will tell the story of a couple struggling to save their marriage who must learn to put their differences aside if...

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Judge Dredd director Danny Cannon has signed on to helm Obey, Deadline reports.

Written by Brandon & Kurtis Birtell, it follows an estranged couple who must learn to put their differences aside in order to save their son from a deranged home invader.

The masked intruder, known as Flip Face, orders them to “obey” if they ever want to see their son again in the high-concept horror thriller.

The film will be produced by Ross Dinerstein (The Void) for Campfire Studios, Josh Kesselman (1922) and Michael Sugar (Spotlight) for Sugar23, and Lindsay Macadam (Brain On Fire) for Great Pacific Media, which is providing production services for the project.

Altitude will be shopping Obey at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.

Outside of features, Cannon has directed the pilot episodes of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Gotham,” “Pennyworth,” “Gotham Knights,” and “Nikita.”

Danny Cannon...

Exclusive: British filmmaker Danny Cannon (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer) has signed on to direct Obey.

The film is described as a high-concept horror thriller. Altitude will be shopping the film at the upcoming European Film Market.

The film follows a couple struggling to save their marriage who must learn to put their differences aside if they are to save their son from a deranged home invader, Flip Face.

The official synopsis reads: To Love, Honour, and Obey was the intention of Mark and Caitlin when they stood in front of their family and friends on their wedding day. Years later, comfortable familiarity has deteriorated into contempt and the couple has decided to divorce.

Mark leaves. A new life apart – Mother and son, Tanner, now alone at home. But when Caitlin goes to check on Tanner, she finds he’s gone. Nowhere to be found.

Caitlin believes her husband is behind this.

Eight major DC characters nearly appeared in Gotham, but circumstances kept them from making their debut. As a prequel to the Batman mythos, Gotham was well-known for its creative reimagining of iconic villains and allies, offering an opportunity to witness the evolution of characters like Penguin, Riddler, and Catwoman. Over five seasons, the show balanced its own unique twists with homage to the source material, delivering a dark yet compelling narrative about the descent of Gotham City into chaos.

However, the final season of Gotham was truncated, reduced from its intended length to just 12 episodes. This shorter run, coupled with various creative decisions, meant that several characters and Gotham storylines were ultimately scrapped. While the show's conclusion and its full embrace of the Batman legend was certainly thrilling, it’s hard not to ponder the characters who almost made it to the screen, many of whom are known for their appearances throughout the Dcu timeline.

While plot details for the I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel remain under wraps, we're now learning that the reboot will not focus on Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt's characters. The two will reprise their roles as Ray Bronson and Julie James from the original film and its 1998 sequel, but according to Prinze Jr., he and Hewiitt are "not the leads of the movie by any stretch of the imagination." Prinze Jr. recently appeared on Scale Talk Podcast with David Miniatures, where he discussed how co-writer and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) integrated Julie and Ray into the upcoming movie.

"[Kaytin Robinson] just took such good care of Love's character, Julie James, and my character, Ray Bronson. They're not the leads of the movie by any stretch of the imagination," Prinze Jr. explains in his new chat with the show." He added: "[Kaytin Robinson] made them such...

There’s a new sequel to the 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and its 1998 follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here) coming our way from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) – and the project’s official X account has just unveiled a behind-the-scenes image to announce that production is underway!

The image shows a clapperboard for the filming of scene 50B, which involves a computer monitor that looks like it’s left over from the ’90s and a hook that has a slightly different design than the hooks we saw in the previous movies:

Gotham producers detailed their plans for their scrapped Metropolis series and why the plug was pulled on the series. Hot off their run on the Batman villain-focused DC series, showrunners John Stephens and Danny Cannon began developing a Metropolis show similar to their previous work. It would have explored the city most commonly linked to Superman before he arrived on the scene, instead focusing on Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. DC officially announced the project in January 2018, but they pulled the plug on it by 2019.

In IGN's oral history regarding the ten-year anniversary of Gotham's premiere, Stephens revealed exactly how they envisioned Metropolis, and that he still don't know exactly why Warner Bros. ended up shelving the series before it even began.

"In the course of the pilot, it really featured Lois and Lex as the main characters. Geoff Johns had some really cool ideas about how the show...

This confirmation has been a long time coming, but it’s finally here: Deadline reports that Freddie Prinze Jr. has finally, officially signed on to reprise the role of Ray Bronson, the character he previously played in the slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and the follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here), in the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel that’s coming our way from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge). This project was first announced back in February of 2023, at which time it was said that Prinze and I Know / I Still Know co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt (who played heroine Julie James) were already signed on… but that wasn’t the case. In fact, Prinze hadn’t even been contacted yet at that time, and his deal has only just now closed. Hewitt...

Brandy Rayana Norwood is an icon in every sense of the word. She's been adored by fans for generations, defining many viewers' childhoods as it was hard to find a medium in the '90s that she wasn't completely conquering. From singing to acting to dancing, she's always excelled, but some might be confused to hear that she's had quite a presence in horror cinema. Currently, she's leading Sam and Max Eggers' The Front Room an A24 psychological horror film that pits Brandy's Belinda against the mother-in-law from Hell (Kathryn Hunter). But this isn't the first time Brandy has made her mark on a spooky flick. In 1998, she co-starred in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Danny Cannon's direct sequel to one of the genre's most influential movies (if only its sequel could say the same), I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Twenty-seven years after the release of the slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and twenty-six years after the follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here), Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. might be reprising the roles of Julie James and Ray Bronson in a new sequel, which is set for a July 18, 2025 release date – and now there seems to be a chance that Brandy Norwood will be reprising her I Still Know What You Did Last Summer role in the film as well. At the end of last month, the new film’s director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) confirmed that the events of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer are canon and will be part of Julie and Ray’s back story in this sequel. Soon after, Brandy said someone should give her a call about being in the movie,...

Dean Devlin is the credited director of the much-loved Geostorm, but says it’s not his film – yet he’d do his own cut, and possibly Geostorm 2.

I think I’ve managed to hide it well over the years, but I bloody love 2017’s Geostorm, the kind of goofy, muddled, deliciously enjoyable mad space film that we don’t seem to get anymore. In part because Geostorm cost an enormous amount of money, and didn’t make it back. See also: Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall, an intended franchise-starter, that also doubled up as a franchise-stopped.

The credited director of Geostorm, starring Gerard Butler, is Dean Devlin, but he’s not the person who finished the movie. Instead, the film was overhauled in post-production, and Danny Cannon came in to do extensive and really quite easy to spot reshoots.

Dean Devlin is now doing promotional work for his latest project, the TV series The Ark.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel has been gaining considerable steam with an official release date, the announcement of the film's new cast, and a firm date to begin shooting the project all now in place. Of course, the key to any good legacy sequel is a tangible connection to the original film's story or characters, and while the stars of the original movie, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. have confirmed they have seen a script for the sequel, another star just learned about the film. But she's more than ready to face-off with the fisherman again.

During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter to promote the Descendants sequel scheduled to air on the Disney Channel, singer and actress Brandy, who co-starred as Karla Wilson in 1998's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer alongside Hewitt and Prinze Jr., said she was unaware of a sequel being made.

In response to an X post that said the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel “is reportedly ignoring previous sequels,” Robinson said, “It is definitely not.

When this project was first announced, Hewitt and Prinze were mentioned in the announcement like their involvement was a sure thing – but we’ve since found out that wasn’t the case, as they didn’t even start contract negotiations until long after that. Hewitt confirmed a couple of months ago that she was in talks to come back for the new film, and now Prinze has finally confirmed that he is as well, telling Us Weekly that he is “motivated” to close the deal.

When people think of Jim Gillespie’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, they usually consider it a solid slasher. It certainly had an engaging lead cast—Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe—and a script from Scream creator himself, Kevin Williamson. It even spawned an Amazon Prime spinoff series and is being featured as part of a “High School Horror” category on the Criterion Channel.

But that’s not the film this article is about. This is about the 1998 sequel that has a less positive reputation: Danny Cannon’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which brought back Hewitt and Prinze Jr., but not Gillespie and Williamson. A lot of people tend to think of it as a lesser follow-up that is best left forgotten.

A few years ago, director Oliver Harper made a documentary called In Search of the Last Action Heroes, which was described as “a comprehensive retrospective of the ’80s and ’90s action film genre.” One of the people interviewed for that documentary was screenwriter Steven E. de Souza, who was a major contributor to the action genre in those decades, working on the likes of 48 Hrs., Commando, The Running Man, Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Hudson Hawk, Ricochet, Beverly Hills Cop III, and Street Fighter, among others… with one of the others being the much-maligned Sylvester Stallone comic book movie Judge Dredd. In a moment that didn’t make it into the final cut of In Search of the Last Action Heroes, de Souza discussed the issues that Judge Dredd ran into, including bad marketing and a struggle to secure an R rating.

The advent of streaming services has allowed television to take greater risks and turn trusted series into expansive properties and broader universes. A heavy stigma used to surround prequels, and audiences often considered them to be tired exercises to extend a story when a conventional sequel couldn’t be in the cards.

Related: 10 Canceled Shows With Great Endings

TV has found ways to thrive through prequels and, in some cases, these extra chapters can greatly improve the original series in unexpected ways. There have been many impressive prequel television series over the years, from House of the Dragon to Fear The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul.

Caprica 1 Season, 19 Episodes

Ronald D. Moore's 2004 reboot of the '78 campy space opera, Battlestar Galactica, set new standards for serialized science fiction. The success of the SyFy original led to a satisfying expansion of the show's universe, like the 19-episode prequel, Caprica.

1995 – it was the best of times; it was the worst of times. While the peak era of action movies was beginning to wane, multiplexes were still packed with decent action films, and icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were still packing them in. Meanwhile, second-tier action heroes like Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme still tried to punch their way onto the A-list. It would never quite happen for those two, with both starring in direct-to-video movies by the decade’s end. But 1995 was arguably the last year in the nineties when Stallone and Schwarzenegger were at the top of their game. Schwarzenegger’s career would only really falter at the end of the decade, with him never really able to recapture his former box office glory following his run as the Governor of California. Stallone would be luckier, with him able to reinvent himself in the mid-2000s...

Freddie Prinze Jr. might be considering a return to the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” franchise, but the star doesn’t have many fond memories of making the original slasher flick.

In a recent interview with Too Fab, the “She’s All That” star called the making of the 1997 movie — one of his first major screen credits — a “miserable” experience that almost caused him to quit acting. Specifically, Prinze said his issues stemmed from clashes with the director Jim Gillespie, who wanted to cast Jeremy Sisto, then best known for “Clueless,” but was pushed to hire Prinze by the studio and screenwriter Kevin Williamson.

“It’s not that we weren’t on the same page, I knew what the correct choices were for the Ray character. He wanted a different actor, a really good actor named Jeremy Sisto, who I know and I like and respect very, very much,...

Doug Bradley (“Hellraiser”) has been added to the cast of The CW’s “Gotham Knights” series, the network announced on Wednesday.

Bradley will appear in Episode 6 of Gotham Knights as Joe Chill, one of DC Comics’ most notorious villains known for cruelly killing Bruce Wayne’s parents. After fifty years of rotting on death row, Joe Chill is scheduled to be executed. However, Gotham’s infamous “Patron Saint of Bad Guys” isn’t about to let his secrets die with him.

“When casting the iconic role of Joe Chill, arguably the man who created Batman, there was only one name we considered – Doug Bradley. We needed an actor with the kind of gravitas that would do justice to such a seminal character in DC Comics canon,” said series co-creators Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abrams in a statement. “And who better to embody the role of the classic Gotham...

Veronica Cartwright is set to guest star in The CW‘s upcoming series Gotham Knights.

But that grandmotherly exterior masks a much darker side, one that harbors sinister secrets and has ties to an evil that has plagued Gotham for over a century.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have Veronica as a part of Gotham Knights. A veteran of some of the most frightening movies ever made – Alien, 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Hitchcock’s The Birds – Veronica brings to the role of Eunice Harmon a uniquely chilling sense of danger in an otherwise unassuming package.

HBO Max is clearing out all of its live-action DC Comics scripted original series.

The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed streamer has canceled Pennyworth, the prequel show about Batman’s famed butler. The series wrapped its third and now final season Nov. 24.

The drama starring Jack Bannon as Alfred Pennyworth was created by Gotham creator Bruno Heller (who also served as showrunner). Pennyworth hailed from Warner Bros. Television and was developed for the MGM-backed premium cable network Epix (which is now known as MGM+). In a bid to reduce programming costs, the series was sold to HBO Max and paired with fellow DC series Doom Patrol and Titans on the platform. MGM+ still has the option to air the third season, though that seems highly unlikely even at a reduced licensing fee.

The streamer picked up the show for its third season, after two seasons aired on Epix. The DC origin series premiered its 10-episode third season on the streamer in October, and it ran through end of November.
