Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday may be one of the most divisive movies in the Friday the 13th franchise, but I’m sure fans would jump at the chance to own the film on 4K Ultra HD. There have been rumblings that Arrow Video might be working on a 4K release of the sequel, which director Adam Marcus has confirmed.

“I just supervised the 4K restoration, Color timing and clean up with cinematographer William Dill,” Marcus revealed on X. “It’s the uncut version and it’s never looked better.” It’s not clear when Jason Goes to Hell might be released, but I’d imagine we’ll hear a more official announcement before too long. Arrow Video released a 4K version of the Friday the 13th remake just last month.

Jason Goes to Hell is frequently seen as the black sheep of the franchise.

[This story contains major spoilers from the season six finale of The Chi.]

To say that Otis “Douda” Perry, played by Curtiss Cook, had a target on his back by numerous people on The Chi would be a major understatement.

For five seasons on the Paramount+ with Showtime series Douda has served as the ultimate, suave gangster terror. Yet he also had a period where he was admired as a top businessman in the city’s Southside, and even served a short stint as Chicago’s mayor. Still, over the years, something went wrong with Douda, and The Chi viewers watched the charismatic businessman and politician choose to settle disagreements with more of his street side than with his newfound diplomacy.

So it came to little surprise that in the beginning of the finale of season six, the opening scene was of police in Douda’s club surrounding a body on the floor in a pool of blood. When the camera...

In a world where live sports remain television’s cash cow, could competitive pillow fighting be the next big thing?

Sean Perry and his 2500 Media banner certainly think so.

The company has secured the television rights to the Pillow Fight Championship, which was founded in 2021 by Steve Williams.

Pillow Fight Championship is the world’s first professional pillow fighting league featuring professional fighters engaging in pillow combat.

Last year, the competition aired on ESPN2 and the organizers have also organized pay-per-view events.

The pillow fighters come from various Mixed Martial Arts (Mma) and athletic background including former NCAA Division I Athletes and current and former UFC combatants.

It comes 10 months after Perry signed a deal with Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Media, which is now part of Lionsgate Alternative Television.

Piligian was also involved in another relatively new fighting competition – Power Slap. Piligian was one of the founders of Power Slap...

In the Season 5 finale of “FBI: Most Wanted,” agent Ray Cannon (Edwin Hodge) marries girlfriend Cora (Caroline Harris) in the first wedding for the series’ history.

After mad bombers, a cannibalistic serial killer and Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) getting shot in the line of duty, the season ended on a high — and very jubilant — note.

Hodge spoke with TheWrap about why he loves the Ray and Cora relationship, how it changes his dynamic as a character and his own upcoming wedding.

TheWrap: It’s the first wedding in “FBI: Most Wanted” history.

Edwin Hodge: No pressure. Yeah, no pressure at all. Especially since I’m about to get married on June 29. And my TV wife (Caroline Harris) got married prior to us actually filming the wedding scene.

Are you going to have a big contingent of your costars at your wedding?

Keisha [Castle-hughes] is going to be able to make it.

A documentary covering the 1993 Friday the 13th sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here) has been in the works for quite a while, and about eight months ago Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus took to social media to give a promising update on its progress, saying that it was about to go through the color timing and sound mixing stages of post-production. It has been longer than expected, but now Marcus has given another update, letting fans know that the color timing and sound mixing are finally happening this month.

Before the week began, Marcus wrote, “The doc just went through legal and has been approved. Which means we are officially Locked! This means the film is completed from an editing stage and we’ve taken all the steps to ensure that the film meets all the standards to be released.

In the summer of 1996, the World Wrestling Federation held its annual King of the Ring tournament. After weeks of matches, the semis and finals were set for June 23rd, 1996, with Stone Cold Steve Austin facing Jake “The Snake” Roberts for the crown later in the night. Roberts, then known for working from a Christian angle, would cut a promo before the match doing just that. Just before Austin took the ring and pinned Roberts, he was tipped about the promo’s contents.

After the five-minute match, Austin stood next to the same man who tipped him off, Michael Hayes. And it was there that a legend and a catchphrase were born, and an entire industry was born again. With a mouth full of blood, Stone Cold Steve Austin told his defeated opponent: “You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn’t get you anywhere!

Aew Revolution 2024 was a hell of a show and it ended with the satisfying finale of Sting’s time in the ring. The final stretch of Sting’s career was a wonderful chance to set things right for the legendary wrestler, after the wrestling business had constantly let him down over the years. He was once the ace of WCW, but the incompetence and selfishness of others hurt his legacy in different ways at different promotions. But despite being in his 60s, his three years at Aew allowed him to go out on his own terms.

The Stinger is a beloved icon for a reason. While he did get wrapped up in such unfortunate things as the WCW mini-movies, the Shockmaster, the ill-fated Hulk Hogan match at Starrcade, and a really unfortunate PPV main event involving Jeff Hardy, Sting was still one of WCW’s great highlights and kicked a...

In “Footsteps,” the Fugitive Task Force is after a father and daughter going after the law enforcement officials for the roles they played in separating them after he was detained for his plans to use a chemical weapon to target New York’s water supply. Ray’s father, Ray Cannon Senior, was assigned to the case, and he plays the same recording the NYPD officers did for the father, of his daughter as a child, screaming and crying for him, as proof the CIA had her. Senior himself did nothing wrong, though the father and daughter to ...

Ray Cannon (Edwin Hodge) has followed in his retired FBI agent father’s footsteps, so it’s only fitting that’s the title of the episode introducing the character, played by Steven Williams. In FBI: Most Wanted‘s “Footsteps,” airing on February 20, the Fugitive Task Force launches into full gear after multiple bombings appear to be targeting retired NYPD officers. Ray Cannon, Sr. also has ties to that case, though originally, they think that his son is involved. It “comes back to haunt him,” Hodge tells TV Insider. As a result, Ray gets “mixed up in this situation, not knowing what, who, why or how, but also knowing he needs to protect his father at all costs, whatever secrets his father has,” the star continues. “Ray’s on the clock at this point and he doesn’t give a crap about anything else other than saving his father.” Hodge also raves about working with Williams.

Five years have gone by since Adam Marcus, the director of the 1993 Friday the 13th sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here), first mentioned that he was interested in revisiting that film’s badass bounty hunter character Creighton Duke, who was played by Steven Williams. Marcus has been focused on putting together the documentary Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday in recent years, but now that the documentary is almost finished, he has confirmed to Bloody Disgusting that he still intends to bring back Creighton Duke for another movie. Sort of. You see, since Duke is a Friday the 13th franchise character, Marcus doesn’t actually own the rights to use him in any other projects. So the character is going to have to have a different name – but it sounds like it’s going to be pretty obvious that...

Horror fans will recognize Adam Marcus as the director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the co-writer of Texas Chainsaw, two divisive but oft-discussed entries in their respective franchises. He recently returned to the genre to helm Secret Santa, a holiday horror-comedy streaming exclusively on Screambox.

The first installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Jason Goes to Hell, currently celebrating its 30th anniversary, along with the upcoming retrospective documentary Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday and a potential Creighton Duke-inspired spin-off.

“People who don’t like Jason Goes to Hell are rabid. They’re not your average haters; they’re knives-out from the second you meet them,” Marcus says with a chuckle. “When people go, ‘That’s not canon,’ I’m like, ‘No, bitches, it’s canon! I made Jason a Deadite. I did that!'” he beams.

In gearing up for today’s 30th anniversary of “The X-Files” premiere, which debuted back on September 10, 1993, I recently re-watched the series finale, titled “The Truth.” Yes, I know Fox’s sci-fi show later spawned two revival seasons in 2016 and 2018, but I’m still calling this episode, which aired on May 19, 2002, the official series finale. When “The Truth” originally aired, fans and critics alike were decidedly mixed on the two-part ender written and directed by series creator Chris Carter. But 21 years later, I can safely say that it’s better than you remember.

Scroll through the videos and photos below revisiting the nine best moments from “The X-Files” series finale, which featured the return of Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) as he went on trial for murdering an alien super soldier, while Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) tried to secure his release. Did I miss any of...

Few TV shows have had the seismic impact of The X-Files – with its swirling mysteries, long-running conspiracies, and shocking monster-of-the-week episodes. Factor in the legendary roles of Mulder and Scully (the incredible David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) and you have the recipe for a multiple-decade-spanning phenomenon, that began on the small screen, moved to the big one (twice), and was revived for two additional series just when fans thought it was all over. Packed with alien encounters, supernatural shenanigans, and moments of very human horror, the show – spawned by Chris Carter – brought audiences into a world where you never quite knew what the next episode would bring.

30 years later, the impact of The X-Files hasn’t been diluted – and throughout its reign on big screens and small, Empire spoke to several of its key voices. Take a rifle through the X-Files Interview Archive…

Brace yourselves, “The X-Files” fans: your favorite TV show is turning 30 years old. Yep, it’s true. Fox’s Emmy-winning sci-fi juggernaut that followed FBI Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) in their investigations into the paranormal debuted on September 10, 1993. Nine complete seasons aired until the series finale on May 19, 2002, with two movies premiering at the box office in 1998 and 2008, and then two additional revival seasons dropping in 2016 and 2018. All told, a whopping 218 episodes were produced for television — think of all those discarded cigarette butts!

This past Sunday, August 13th, marked the thirtieth anniversary of one of the most divisive entries in the Friday the 13th franchise, 1993’s Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here). To mark the occasion, Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus took to social media to announce that an epic documentary on the film, Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday, is almost finished!

Marcus said, “The picture is locked. Our soundtrack is just days away from completion. It will only have to go through Color Timing next week, Sound Mix the week after and then has to be seen by our legal team (Larry Zerner in Jason’s house!) and then we’re done!

Frederic Forrest, the character actor known for his roles in The Rose, Apocalypse Now, and several other Francis Ford Coppola films, has died at 86. Friend and fellow actor Barry Primus told The Hollywood Reporter he passed at his home in Santa Monica after a long illness.

Born on December 23rd, 1936 in Waxahachie, Texas, Forrest served in the Army and studied radio and television studies and theater arts at Texas Christian University before beginning his acting career. In 1966, he appeared in an off-Broadway production of Viet Rock, while he made his film debut in 1972’s When the Legends Die, for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer.

In 1979, Forrest appeared in Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam War epic, Apocalypse Now. He portrayed Jay “Chef” Hicks, an aspiring chef from New Orleans who ends up getting drafted. The role made him a favorite of Coppola, who went...

Starting his career in an uncredited role in as a henchman in the Dean Martin/ Matt Helm movie The Wrecking Crew, Chuck Norris really burst onto the scene fighting Bruce Lee in a Roman Coliseum in The Way of the Dragon. Since then, Chuck Norris has had a career filled with action scenes, loud guns, and roundhouse kicks. He was a mainstay of 1980s action films and was even brought in as a sort of savior for the others in The Expendables 2. While he’s mostly retired now, everyone still knows who he is, and Chuck Norris jokes have honored him for years. After a solid deep dive of the man’s movies, here are what we consider the best Chuck Norris movies:

The Octagon (1980)

Starting off a decade of plenty for Mr. Norris, The Octagon is one of those films that feels very much like he owns it.

Keffals, the Twitch streamer and trans activist who gained worldwide attention by taking on abusive forum Kiwi Farms in 2022, has filed a human rights complaint against the London Police Service (Lps) in Ontario, Canada.

The Lps arrested Keffals (aka Clara Sorrenti) on Aug. 5, 2022, after she was swatted via email. The hoax email sent to police claimed Sorrenti had killed her mother, had a gun, and was planning on shooting cisgender people at London’s City Hall. It was signed with Sorrenti’s deadname.

Sorrenti recalled the incident in an Aug. 9 YouTube upload (embedded below), describing how she’d been woken up in the middle of the night by an officer aiming a gun at her, how she’d been arrested by police referring to her with her deadname, and how her electronic devices had been seized.

She was later released without charges, but says her experience indicates “systemic issues” within the Lps.

Raise your hand if you had “Ryan Coogler reboots ‘The X-Files'” on your 2023 Bingo card.

In the March 27 episode of the podcast “On The Coast with Gloria Macarenko,” “X-Files” creator Chris Carter claimed that Coogler is remaking the beloved Fox sci-fi/horror show for a new audience. “I just spoke to a young man, Ryan Coogler, who is going to remount ‘The X-Files’ with a diverse cast,” Carter stated. Fox has yet to make an official statement about the rumored project.

The original showrunner later added that Coogler “has got his work cut out for him, because we covered so much territory.” Indeed, “The X-Files” first aired for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two feature films in 1998 and 2008. Fox then revived the series for two more seasons, which were broadcast in 2016 and 2018. The last episode to air was its 218th overall.

To some extent based on a true story, Chevalier is followed by text that adds context. Not least of which is why a figure of such potential import might now be unknown. It's Mozart who first asks 'who is that?' within the film, albeit with some more striking Germanic in the middle. Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges has had his story fictionalised before. Previous to this, most notably in the 1840s by Roger de Beauvoir, the nom de plume of Eugene Roger, a friend of Alexandre Dumas (the elder). If that seems a complicated set of names and dates then know that it's indicative of both the history and this story.

Hulu has announced that their eight-part psychological drama series Saint X will make its streaming premiere on Wednesday, April 26th! The first three episodes of the show will be available to watch on that date, and the remaining five episodes will be released on a weekly basis. When we first heard about Saint X, Victoria Pedretti (The Haunting of Hill House) was attached to star – but after Pedretti left the project over “creative differences”, she was replaced by Alycia Debnam-Carey of Fear the Walking Dead.

Written by Leila Gerstein and based on a novel by Alexis Schaitkin, Saint X is told via multiple timelines and perspectives.

With the film industry as a whole taking a significant hit during the early years of the pandemic, one progressive change that has been stifled for the past couple years is studios hiring more directors from underrepresented backgrounds.

There are all sorts of data points repeated over the years by annual studies, like USC’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, which has repeatedly revealed how increasing diversity within filmmaking helps, not harms, business prospects. For example, the latest USC study shared that films by underrepresented directors earned marginally higher Metacritic scores than movies from white directors, and yet 2022 had a 6.6 percent decline in the number of the directors from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups who helmed the top 100 films of the year.

Though the upcoming slate of studio films does not seem like it will move the needle even back to 2021 numbers, where the percentage of directors from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups reached a 15-year high,...

Making movie history that will be remembered for generations is never easy for the filmmakers behind the celebrated projects. Despite his long-lasting acclaim in Hollywood, especially in such genres as sci-fi, action and fantasy, computer animation pioneer, Steve Williams has long struggled to reckon with his chaotic past in the industry. His initial admiration of, […]

Everyone knows Jim Carrey's lovably outrageous superhero character in "The Mask." But it might surprise you to learn the original comic book on which the film is based was a hell of a lot more violent. The "Mask" comic featured a homicidal central character who would don the eponymous artifact only to unleash hell on those who'd wronged him by the most violent means possible. It had some of the humor that would eventually make it into the 1994 movie, but otherwise, it was wholly different from its feature film adaptation.

When it did come time to adapt the comic for the big screen, New Line was looking for something different from the source material. The studio responsible for the "Nightmare On Elm Street" series was open to the idea of doing "The Mask" as a comedy horror, but they couldn't get the screenplay right. Thankfully, while flipping through the comics,...

Exclusive: Actor Alex Fitzalan (Chevalier) has signed with Mosaic for representation.

Fitzalan is an Australian up-and-comer who will next be seen starring alongside Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Samara Weaving in the Searchlight Pictures drama Chevalier, about the composer and violinist of the same name. The film written by Stefani Robinson and directed by Stephen Williams world premiered to critical acclaim at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival and is set for release on April 7, 2023.

Fitzalan made his U.S. screen debut in Sony’s supernatural horror Slender Man directed by Sylvain White, starring there alongside Joey King, Julia Goldani Telles, Jaz Sincalir and Annalise Basso. He has since then landed roles on the Australian series The Twelve, as well as Netflix’s The Society from producer Marc Webb, there appearing opposite Kathryn Newton and Gideon Adlon. The actor was also previously seen in the role of Seth Novak in the second season...

"If you want to stay in the industry, you gotta play the game." Gravitas Ventures has released an official trailer for a documentary titled Jurassic Punk, made by filmmaker Scott Leberecht. This first premiered at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, and also stopped by the Sitges Film Festival in Spain. "You can't revolutionize the History of Cinema without being an anarchist." Steve "Spaz" Williams is a pioneer in computer animation. His digital dinosaurs of Jurassic Park transformed Hollywood forever, but his own appetite for anarchy and disregard for authority may have cost him the recognition he deserved. This is the true story of the man who helped revolutionize the VFX industry, convincing Steven Spielberg to switch to using CGI dinosaurs for Jurassic Park in 1993 (and also T2 and The Abyss). He was a big part of Ilm, but there's more to his story. This should be playing as...

Kelvin Harrison Jr. has been on quite the biopic tip of late. For the record, I'm not complaining. Since breaking out in "Waves," Harrison has proven his mettle as one of the most exhilarating young actors working today. Watching him in anything is a total treat because no matter the project, no matter the character, Harrison always brings an exciting, earnest perspective.

After appearing as B.B. King in Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" — and before transforming into the "Radiant Child" himself, Jean-Michel Basquiat, for "Samo Lives" — Harrison is set to star in the classical music biopic, "Chevalier." The film has already garnered fresh interest after debuting a trailer in November, so here's everything you need to know about the forthcoming film and more.

Searchlight Pictures has released a new trailer and poster for Chevalier, starring Kelvin Harrison Jr.

Inspired by the incredible true story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. The illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, Bologne (Kelvin Harrison Jr. in a tour de force performance) rises to improbable heights in French society as a celebrated violinist-composer and fencer, complete with an ill-fated love affair and a falling out with Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton) herself and her court.

A highlight at Toronto International Film Festival earlier this fall, Stephen Williams’ Chevalier gives the stage to rising star Kelvin Harrison Jr.. Focusing on the life composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the story follows the illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, who rises to improbable heights in French society as a celebrated violinist-composer and fencer, complete with an ill-fated love affair and a falling out with Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton) herself and her court. Ahead of an April release from Searchlight, the first trailer has now arrived.

Jared Mobarak said in his review, “TIFF wasn’t kidding when they said they were welcoming director Stephen Williams back after pivoting into prestige television. It’s been 27 years since his theatrical debut Soul Survivor, with a laundry list of all your favorite shows in the meantime. Which just goes to prove that sometimes it’s all...

The first trailer for “Chevalier” is here, and it showcases a life of extreme musical talent – and extreme hardship.

The musical biopic from Searchlight Pictures will premiere in U.S. theaters on April 7, 2023.

Based on the true story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the film stars Kelvin Harrison Jr. as the illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, who—despite mounting bigotry and racism—rises to improbable heights in French society as a prodigy violinist, composter and fencer. But, a steamy affair with a French noblewoman and falling out with Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton) and her court ultimately leads to the Chevalier’s downfall.

In the trailer, we see Bologne’s formidable spirit shine, as he’s dropped off at a French academy by his father, who believes that his violin talents are too impressive to be wasted. He overcomes mounting bigotry and racism...
