A caper is always better with two. Batman and Robin, Jake and Finn, Thelma and Louise. Why do you think Shaggy and Scooby were always paired together when the gang split up? This is especially true in comedy, with duos ranging from Laurel and Hardy to Key and Peele taking their place in comedy history. Now, a major comedy duo is reviving a classic horror-comedy made by their Old Hollywood equivalents, right down to reusing the title.

Scarlett Johansson has been tapped to star in Mike Flanagan's "radical new take" on The Exorcist at Blumhouse and Universal. It's currently unknown what role Johansson will play in the reimagining of the supernatural horror classic, though she could portray Chris MacNeil (originally played by Ellen Burstyn). Flanagan was announced to write, direct, and produce the "all-new story set in The Exorcist universe" in May 2024.

As previously reported, TRON: Legacy ended with Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), son of Kevin Flynn, preventing the digital world from bleeding into the real world, as planned by the Grid's malevolent ruling program, Clu.

Disney greenlit a third film in the franchise in October 2010, intended to pick up where Legacy left off

I don't think I was supposed to feel emotional during The Toxic Avenger, a movie in which the title character pulls someone's intestines out through their asshole. But the truth is that I genuinely did get a little teary the first time Toxie triumphantly enters the scene of a hostage situation wielding his radioactive mop and preparing to dole out justice in generous gouts of red-dyed Karo syrup and fake viscera.

James Gunn's Superman revamps the character by skipping the origin story and adding unconventional elements, making the classic hero interesting in a unique way.

The decisions surrounding the new DC Universe are unclear, especially with projects like Sgt. Rock, which seemed to have no strong rationale behind their development.
