Recently, Hollywood films and television shows have faced backlash for their poor visual effects. She-Hulk and The Flash are the prime offenders of the same, with fans heavily criticizing the two superhero entries for their poorly crafted VFX. Moreover, the subpar quality of their VFX becomes even more evident when compared to Hugh Jackman’s Van Helsing from 20 years ago.

“Deadpool and Wolverine” is now playing in theaters, and although Hugh Jackman probably won’t receive any major awards nominations for his anticipated return as his comic book character, he has been nominated for an Oscar as well as other major trophies throughout his career. Let’s look back at his many awards races.
After his breakthrough performance as Wolverine in the first “X-Men” film, Jackman spent most of the 2000s appearing in summer action blockbusters like “Swordfish” and “Van Helsing” as well as “X-Men” sequels and a prequel. He was never a serious awards contender for the 2001 romantic comedy “Kate & Leopold,” but he did receive his first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. The other nominees were Ewan McGregor for “Moulin Rouge!,” John Cameron Mitchell for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” Billy Bob Thornton for “Bandits” and Gene Hackman for “The Royal Tenenbaums,...

From an aspiring Australian actor to playing one of the fan-favorite comic book heroes, Hugh Jackman has had an illustrious career over the past two and a half decades. The new film, Deadpool & Wolverine, will earn him millions and a record for playing a superhero character for the longest time.

In Hollywood, where actors face immense pressure to conform, Neal McDonough has carved out a unique path for himself through unwavering principles and faith.
The Yellowstone actor has encountered several difficulties and obstacles throughout his career as a result of turning down parts that required him to perform s*x or kissing sequences. McDonough gives two reasons for this, both of which have to do with his religious and personal beliefs.

Editor’s note: this list was originally published in October 2022. It has since been updated with new selections.
If horror’s limitless capacity for remakes, re-imaginings, and spinoffs teaches us anything, it’s that our nightmares never really change. Since before “Nosferatu” darkened the silent film scene in 1922 — heck, even before Bram Stoker terrified readers with “Dracula” in 1897 — vampires have transfixed audiences with their chilling blend of romance and menace. Movies like “Twilight” and “Interview with the Vampire” are memorable for weaving epic undead dramas for the big screen, but vampire sagas have arguably seen more creative permutations on TV, with whole casts of blood-sucking stars appearing in shows like “True Blood” and “Castlevania.”
The best vampire TV shows examine the archetypal underpinnings of the gothic-infused subgenre by referencing them in unexpected ways. Classic situational comedies like “Dark Shadows” make entertaining light of garlic, coffins, and the (pun intended) stakes of it all.

Owning the rights to a number of famous movie monsters, Universal has from time to time tried to revive one or another classic hero or villain. In 2004, on the wave of success of the Mummy movies, Dracula and Frankenstein were pulled out of a dusty closet and director Stephen Sommers was given the task of combining them into one movie.
The merger took place in the fantasy action film Van Helsing, which pitted the title character against the Transylvanian vampire. The steampunk-style film initially disappointed critics and failed to impress viewers — Van Helsing now has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 24% and 57% respectively.

According to Deadline, CBS has a Van Helsing series in development.
And yes, the title appears to be Van Helsing, but it’s no relation to Syfy’s Van Helsing, which must make TV history awfully confusing to the average watcher.
This Van Helsing will be a lot closer in scope to CBS’s past hit, Elementary, which followed a modern-day Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Watson solving crimes.
Apparently, this series landed at CBS after quite a bidding war for it, even if the procedural king of broadcast network TV seems like a natural fit.

Rawson Marshall Thurber's "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" lived up to its title when it hit theaters on June 18, 2004. It had been a fairly meh summer up to this point. "Shrek 2" was a smash, and the Alfonso Cuaron-directed "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was the first truly good and aesthetically distinctive film in that series, but most of the heavy hitters were, at best, interesting misfires. When word got out from critics that Steven Spielberg would be adding to the disappointment parade with "The Terminal," it looked like a full-on bummer summer was in the offing.
No one was expecting much from a comedy built around a popular playground pastime, but "Dodgeball" was an uproarious slapdash lark that opened to an unexpected $30 million at the domestic box office. Ben Stiller had been a proven commercial commodity since the Farrelly Brothers' surprise 1998 smash "There's Something About Mary,...

Actor Hugh Jackman is making his much-awaited return to the iconic role of Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. The Australian actor originated the role more than two decades ago and has a Hollywood career that spans even longer. During this time, Jackman has rarely been accused of being anything less than being the nicest person in Hollywood.

In the realm of Hollywood’s supernatural thrillers, Kate Beckinsale has created a reputation for herself as a formidable vampire hunter, following her popular Underworld film series. Her portrayal as Selene, the leather-clad, guns-blazing heroine thereafter garnered her a dedicated fan base and solidified her status as an action star, in Hollywood.

The year 2024 is turning out to be quite the year for Hugh Jackman. The Australian star is making a return to the big screen as everyone’s favorite clawed mutant, Wolverine. The X-Men member has been a mainstay not only in the comics, but also in the movie series, beginning with 2000’s X-Men. It was the latter which catapulted Hugh Jackman to a pedestal from which there was no turning back. The year 2024 marks a return for Jackman to his loved role. But it comes alongside confirmation that he will be making his debut as Robin Hood, as well.

To celebrate “Halfway to Halloween,” MGM+ has released a first look at the anticipated third season of the hit series From. The mystery continues when the show returns this fall.
From unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter.

The episode of The Black Sheep covering Van Helsing was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Brandon Nally, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Some of the movies we talk about have opinions fueled by nostalgia if they are good or reputation if they are bad. Of course, everything is subjective when speaking about how you feel about a movie. It can be tied to events in your life that make you happy or sad. You can enjoy it on the strength of an actor, writer, or director you enjoy being involved or hate it for those exact reasons on a creator not being your favorite. Some things are irrefutable though such as box office or critical appraisal. Van Helsing (watch it Here) was the culmination of what Stephen Sommers had been working towards with tales of fantasy like The Adventures of Huck Finn...

The acting ensemble in Peter Jackson‘s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is nothing short of spectacular. Younger actors including Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom became stars while the cast was peppered with veteran thespians, too, including Sir Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee, and John Rhys-Davies.
British actors such as Sean Bean and Andy Serkis, American stars like Sean Astin and Viggo Mortensen, and Australian performers including Cate Blanchett and David Wenham all melded together to breathe life into Middle Earth. The shocking thing, however, is that only one actor landed an Oscar nomination for their work in the esteemed trilogy. That was McKellen, who was nominated in 2002 for playing Gandalf the Grey in the first movie, “The Fellowship of the Ring.” But so many more actors could and should have been nominated for their work in Jackson’s film series. Here are just five such cases.

Disney has announced a major date shift in its 2024 schedule, with one big Marvel Cinematic Universe movie taking another’s place as movies get bumped to later dates. “Deadpool 3” has moved to July 6, 2024 from May 3, 2024, while “Captain America: Brave New World” moves from its Independence Day opening of July 6, 2024 to Feb. 14, 2025, the studio announced on Thursday.
Additionally, “Mufasa: The Lion King” shifts to Dec. 20, 2024 from July 5, 2024 while “Thunderbolts” moves to July 25, 2025 from Dec. 20, 2024.
“Blade,” which was slated to be released on Feb. 14, 2025 moves to Nov. 7, 2025.
Furthermore, the studio has canceled plans for two other dates — July 25, 2025 and Nov. 7, 2025 — originally reserved for untitled films.
When the SAG-AFTRA strike started in July, it led to a halt in production for “Deadpool 3.” After nearly four months of waiting, Marvel Studios is now gearing up to resume filming just before the Thanksgiving break, as reported earlier Thursday.

TV Fanatic had the pleasure of speaking with director David Winning about Hallmark's latest Fall Into Love feature, Field Day.
Winning has a long, successful string of Hallmark movies on his resume, but charming rom-coms weren't his first foray into directing.
Making his mark in the sci-fi genre, directing episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark, Stargate: Atlantis, and Van Helsing, his resume boasts a diverse array of productions that almost seem at odds with the heartfelt Hallmark universe.
So, how did Winning find himself so far from the sci-fi realm? We talked with him about that and much more in our exclusive interview.
For more information on Field Day, please visit our exclusive clip of the delightful movie, which stars Rachel Boston, Benjamin Ayres, Shannon Chen-Kent, and Carmel Amit.

Exclusive: Fast-rising rep Norris Brooks has pivoted from agenting to literary management, having departed CAA to join Echo Lake Entertainment, where she will continue to represent comedians, writers, directors, producers and book properties.
Brooks joined CAA in 2017, as a publishing department assistant based out of New York, and eventually made her way back to her native Los Angeles, where she became an agent in the TV Scripted and Book Rights departments.
A specialist in the comedy space with a penchant for bolstering female talent and underrepresented voices, her clients have worked on such acclaimed series as Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Archer, Physical, and The Afterparty, among others. Brooks orchestrated the sale of Daniel Ricciardo’s scripted Formula 1 series at Hulu and has sold book adaptions to various networks. Clients expected to join her at Echo Lake include writers Miles Woods (Paramount+’s Frasier revival) and Sofi Selig (Ted Lasso), How I Met Your Father...

The first decade of Kate Beckinsale’s film career was a stream of dramas, punctuated by the occasional romantic comedy. And then came Underworld. Cast as a vampire assassin, Beckinsale got her first taste of the action genre … and she liked it. With appearances in four Underworld sequels, as well as films like Van Helsing, Contraband, and Total Recall, she gained a reputation as an action star. As Underworld celebrates the 20th anniversary of its release, we recall how Beckinsale — at the time the movie opened — admitted she had no idea whether she was going to be able to pull off the physical demands of being an action star.(Click on the media bar below to hear Kate Beckinsale) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Kate_-Beckinsale_Underwold_.mp3 Underworld is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.

The moon is full, the fur is out, and the claws are sharp—it’s time to celebrate the unsung hairy heroes of horror: werewolves!

Grab your silver bullets and let’s embark on a wild ride through the 15 best werewolf movies ever made.

“If you’re a horror fan and not watching From, you should get with it. Scary shit,” Stephen King recently tweeted, heaping high praise on a horror series that has really started to find its audience with its second season. The good news? “From” Season 3 is on the way!
MGM+, a premium linear channel and streaming service, announced today that the contemporary sci-fi horror series “From” has been renewed for a 10-episode third season.
Created and executive produced by John Griffin (Crater) and executive produced by showrunner Jeff Pinkner, and director Jack Bender, the series unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. In the wake of Season Two’s epic cliffhanger, escape will become a tantalizing and very real possibility as the true nature of the town comes into focus, and the townspeople go on offense against the myriad horrors surrounding them.

First things first, Fear the Invisible Man is not a sequel to the 2020 version of The Invisible Man although I’m sure the film’s makers won’t mind if you think so. Instead, it’s an adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel that, unlike most adaptations of his work, keeps the book’s Victorian setting.
Griffin is in a race against time to finish his experiments. The reason, his landlord and a bailiff are pounding on the door, ready to evict him. Injecting himself with it moments before they kick in the door, his flesh and bone vanish and he escapes, though not before causing an explosion that kills them and destroys his lab.
Elsewhere Adeline is disbelievingly reading about a series of crimes supposedly caused by an invisible man.

Opening with a quote from H.G. Wells’ novel, War of the Worlds: The Attack is the latest in a seemingly endless stream of film, television shows, rock operas, and most infamously, a radio play by Orson Wells based on the classic tale of the original “Red Menace”.
Three friends Herbert, Hannah and Ogilvy are bicycling through the woods looking for a meteorite Hannah is sure landed nearby. They don’t find it although Herbert thinks he saw something hiding in the trees. He also has a theory that it’s not merely a meteorite.
The next morning they see what landed, something huge and already cordoned off by the police. As they sneak past for a closer look, it opens revealing an octopus-like occupant. But that’s nothing...

Stakes, silver-tipped canes, and torches are all dependable ways to kill off the classic Universal Monsters. But the one common, unifying monster-slayer they are all powerless against is poor box office. This was very clearly communicated by the failure of Renfield, Universal’s attempt at resurrecting Dracula and his title sidekick in a modern horror-comedy where Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) acted more like a supernatural superhero than the simpering, wild-eyed Dwight Frye of old.
Not even the Scenery-Chewer Supreme that is Nicolas Cage could save Renfield from a meager $8 million opening weekend haul that saw the movie have its lunch eaten by Russell Crowe in The Pope’s Exorcist. This isn’t the first attempt either in the last 10 or 20 years to drag the undead out of their graves: Van Helsing (2004), The Wolfman (2010), Dracula Untold (2014), and the disastrous The Mummy (2017) all climbed back into the Universal Monsters’ tombs as quickly as possible,...
