Felicity Jones May Have Confirmed Black Cat in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'
While Disney continues to dominate with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Warner Bros struggles to catch up with their Justice League franchise, Marc Webb and Sony have been very quietly building a universe of their own.
'Jurassic Park 4' Pushed Back to 2015
After a promising start (and a ludicrously ambitious production schedule), it seems Jurassic Park 4 has hit some choppy waters. Rumors circulate that Steven Spielberg is unhappy with the screenplay, prompting Universal and producer Frank Marshall to put the project on hold as they work the story out. This makes a lot of sense considering how much pressure they must be under having to work towards that looming June 13, 2014 release date.
George Lucas and J.J. Abrams Have Not Met About 'Star Wars 7' Yet
I do feel a little bad for George Lucas, considering his lack of involvement in a project is important enough to be newsworthy. Still, it's definitely time for a new director to put his spin on Star Wars (although some may argue he already did in 2009), and it seems that J.J. Abrams is intent on making it his own.
Hemlock Grove Bites Back, Renewed for Second Season
It has come. A day I both feared and yet in my gut knew was inevitable. Hemlock Grove has been renewed for a second season. As my spoiler-free review revealed I was less than thrilled by the first season. Yet as the days and weeks went on, unable to put my furious thoughts into words, explaining in detail exactly why the series put me in such a fury, I sensed my opinion was that of the minority. It would seem that I am correct in this assumption.

Oldest Surviving Anime Found, Being Shown in July
Mole’s Adventure, a nine minute cardboard animation, was found in a Japanese warehouse this February. The 1958 anime was found in good condition, and filmed in color. Mole’s Adventure has been declared the oldest surviving anime in the world, and will be reshown on Japanese TV next month.
Rebooted 'Godzilla' May Include Kaiju Battle-Orgy
Tokyo's been looking a little lonely these days without the presence of destruction brought on by the onslaught of giant monsters. Sure Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim may quench your thirst for titanic monster combat, but nothing beats everyone's favorite rampaging creature: the original Godzilla, the king himself.
Adventure Time Recap: Another Five More Short Graybles
Last night’s Adventure Time episode was another Graybles collection, again revolving around a frustratingly subtle theme of fives. But even if you can’t guess the theme, you can still watch Jake try to connect with a newly 30-year-old Jake Jr., Cinnamon Bun deal with (or rather, not deal with) his fear of the dark, Ice King hold a movie night with the Gunters, Mr. Fox confront some shunted dissatisfactions, and the Lemongrabses play-pretend escalates to near homicide. Aw. Yiss.
