For two seasons, “Girls5eva” fans got little pieces here and there about the upbringing of resident ridiculous diva Wickie Roy née Lesley Wiggens (Renée Elise Goldsberry). But in Season 3, they were fed a whole meal. “It’s every actor’s dream to have a backstory,” Goldsberry tells Gold Derby (watch the exclusive video interview above). “When they’re casting your parents or your love interest, it feels like it’s a good investment in a character. And this one felt so perfect. Because she has a documentary. She’s trying to make a documentary and it felt like at some point, whether it was the real backstory or whether it was some dramatic over-telling of her life, it was going to be worth it. And we got both.”
In the third episode of the season, the group stays with Wickie’s parents Dana (Ron Canada) and Carmen Wiggens (Adriane Lenox) in Clarksville,...

Forty years ago, author William Gibson brought the world a cyberpunk novel called Neuromancer – and an adaptation of that story has been trudging its way through development hell pretty much ever since. Versions of a feature film adaptation have passed through the hands of director like music video maker Chris Cunningham, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and The Blob‘s Chuck Russell, Torque‘s Joseph Kahn, Cube‘s Vincenzo Natali, and Deadpool‘s Tim Miller. While these projects were being put together (and while they fell apart), Neuromancer fans always wondered who would end up playing the lead character, Henry Dorsett Case. Hayden Christensen was rumored to be the top contender when Kahn was going to direct (with Liv Tyler rumored to co-star). Liam Neeson and Mark Wahlberg were said to be in the running for Natali’s version, although it wasn’t said who they might be playing.

Michael Su’s 2023 film, Bloodthirst, is about a vampire hunter who earns his bread slaying vampires in a post-apocalyptic world. This world is overrun by vampires and is controlled mainly by two factions, who are always at war. As for humans, they remain few in number. As a result, both factions of the blood-sucking beasts are on the brink of extinction, owing to both starvation and the growing threat of vampire hunters who’ll do anything to free this world from these demons. The vampires, on the flip side, often infiltrate human populations in large numbers to drain them of their blood and increase their numbers. As a fallout, they are in continuous dispute with their human counterparts. Those who’re lucky die, and those who aren’t, usually end up joining their flock. They aren’t like the usual vampires we see in the movies, who only poke at night to fill their bellies.

Bloodthirst is from the folks at Mahal Empire, last year they gave us their version of the zombie apocalypse, Bridge of the Doomed. This year they’re revisiting the apocalypse, only in Bloodthirst the threat comes from a different strain of the undead, vampires. Interestingly, both films were directed by Michael Su and written by Adrian Milnes this time with a story credit to Massimiliano Cerchi
In the world of Bloodthirst two factions of vampires fight for control of what’s left of the planet. What’s left of humanity is caught in the middle and rapidly heading for extinction, something that would doom the vampires as well. John Shepard walks that world as a vampire hunter who’s on the trail of The Master Vampire.

Firaxis and 2K Games have announced a surprise new Xcom game called Xcom: Chimera Squad, which is set years after Xcom 2 in a world that’s changed drastically, as humans and aliens have learned to co-exist and work together. 2K said in a press release that the game is “neither a sequel nor expansion.”
Chimera Squad brings back the turn-based tactical combat you’re familiar with from past installments but with 11 all-new human and alien squad members. There’s damage-dealing alien Axiom, psionic human Shelter, melee expert and alien-human hybrid Zephyr, gadget specialist Patchwork, gunslinger Blueblood, the snake-like alien Torque, and several others. You can find a full rundown of the characters right here.
Here’s the synopsis released by 2K:
“Set five years after the events of Xcom 2, humans, hybrids and aliens are now working together to forge a civilization of cooperation and co-existence. However, not all of Earth...

We’re at the point where there are dozens of Marvel movies, dozens of DC movies, and a couple Dark Horse ones sprinkled here and there. With the release of Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot, we’re getting our first attempt at a movie adapting Valiant Comics. As it is, Valiant has only been represented outside of the comic page via several video games in the ’90s and a web series from a couple years ago centering around the character Ninjak.
If Bloodshot ends up driving enough interest, we might get another Valiant property on the silver screen to maybe push for a Valiant Cinematic Universe. At the very least, there should be some people interested in reading Bloodshot stories and maybe stretching into the wider comic universe.
So what is the Valiant Universe? Sure, it’s a world of superheroes, but there’s more to a connected comic universe than...

Welcome back to the future, man!
Hulu on Tuesday dropped the trailer for Future Man Season 2, and it's more bonkers than ever before. Yes, we didn't think that was possible, but here we are.
“Our mission failed,” Tiger (Eliza Coupe) tells Josh (Josh Hutcherson) at the top of the trailer when it becomes apparent that there's a whole new reality in motion thanks to their big snafu.
The first mission for Tiger and Josh?
Find Wolf and get him back on their team. In one of the most fun scenes to date, Wolf takes on the life of someone named Torque, and it results in him having multiple husbands and wives, and all seems to be going swimmingly.

That is until Tiger and Josh show up and he reveals that he's been there for three days, yet it feels like years.

Superman actor Henry Cavill stars in The Witcher, Netflix's ambitious television series adaptation of the famed fantasy franchise.
Netflix’s The Witcher is conjuring a live-action manifestation of the popular fantasy novel series of Andrzej Sapkowski, which, of course, spawned the popular video game series.
Notably, it also marks a monumental turn for its star, Henry Cavill, who has permanently put away his Superman suit, and shaved that pesky Mission: Impossible – Fallout mustache, for a television series that matches if not exceeds the grandiosity of his big screen run as the Man of Steel.
While The Witcher games has taken some liberties with the novel source material, this television series will feature quite a few familiar faces and storylines. As Sapkowski expressed in a statement:
