Warning: Contains Spoilers for Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, episodes 9 & 10, "The Devourer of All Things, Parts I & II"

Wesley Crusher's safehouse in Star Trek: Prodigy is a nod to a classic episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. The office used as a safehouse is connected to Gary Seven from Star Trek: Tos, linking the two series. Wesley confirms the role of Supervisors as Travelers' field agents, setting up potential appearances in the franchise.

The safe house that Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) uses to hide from the Loom in Star Trek: Prodigy will look familiar to fans of Star Trek: The Original Series. In Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, episode 9, "The Devourer of All Things, Part I", written by Jennifer Munro and directed by Sung Shin, Wes is revealed to be the mysterious benefactor of Dal R'El (Brett Gray), Gwyndala (Ella Purnell) and the rest of their young crew. Wesley tasks...

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2's Finale - "Ouroboros, Parts 1 and 2"

Star Trek: Prodigy season 2's finale saw the USS Protostar crew reset the paradox timeline and save reality. Admiral Janeway's retirement was interrupted by a shocking connection to Star Trek: Picard season 1's Mars Attack. A new USS Prodigy is launched with the young Starfleet heroes as its crew, accompanied by Hologram Janeway for a new mission of exploration.

Star Trek: Prodigy's spectacular and paradigm-shifting season 2 finale brings the saga full circle before turning the tragic events that lead to Star Trek: Picard season 1 into a new mission of hope for Starfleet's youngest heroes. Star Trek: Prodigy's season 2 finale, "Ouroboros, Parts 1 and 2" simultaneously resolves three universe-altering crises: Ascenia (Jameela Jamil) controlling Solum and her plans to destroy the United Federation of Planets, an invasion by the reality-eating creatures of the Loom, and sending the USS...

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Guest House. The upcoming comedy represents the return of comedian Pauly Shore for his first starring role in a movie since 2017's Sandy Wexler. And this is the first time Shore had led the cast of a movie in some time. What's more, former Jackass star Steve-o is along for the ride as well in what is described by the studio as an "outrageous, raunchy comedy." As a fair warning, the trailer is most definitely Nsfw.

The trailer opens up with Steve-o blasting through a glass window on his skateboard. We then get to the main point, which sees a recently engaged couple buying what they assume is going to be the perfect house. On the surface, it certainly looks the part. But there is a catch, as they would need to take on a tenant, played by none other than Pauly Shore,...

It sounds almost too good to be true, but assuming that things keep according to schedule, fans from all over will be watching Ghostbusters 3 in a little more than a year. It’s hard to believe things have progressed this quickly, and it was only a few months ago that Sony Pictures released a brief teaser to hype everyone up. Of course, longtime devotees have been eagerly awaiting the next entry in the franchise (one which continues the ongoing story), and now, they’ll be able to relive the glory days of the ’80s, thanks to a limited edition re-release of the first two films.

This new collection includes a steelbook case, packing in 4K and Blu-Ray versions of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, along with digital copies for those who prefer to stream their movies. This collection not only contains high-quality Uhd masters of both films but plenty of special features and deleted scenes,...

Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters 3 may include some unused never-before-seen footage from the 1984 original. Reitman appeared at Ghostbusters Fan Fest over the weekend and announced that the surviving original cast read his script for the upcoming sequel, teasing they will be joining in on the fun. Sigourney Weaver has confirmed she is officially returning to reprise her role as Dana Barrett, while stating, "It's going to be crazy working with the guys again!" This has led many to believe the original cast, including Bill Murray, will be suiting up for Ghostbusters 3.

Now, Jason Reitman is teasing the use of unused 1984 Ghostbusters footage in his sequel. This could be a way to bring Harold Ramis back for a cameo, which would be huge for fans of the franchise. Reitman and his team could be going back to include the late actor in a similar way to how J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm brought...

Do you remember that very odd moment in a montage in the middle of Ghostbusters where it appears that Dan Ackroyd is having some kind of sexual encounter with a ghost floating above his bed? It’s been raising eyebrows ever since the film’s release, with fans of the movie poring over old scripts to try and figure out what it was intended for.

Now known as the “Fort Detmerring Ghost,” the scene consists of Ray and Winston investigating a haunting at an old military fort. Ray ends up trying on an old officer’s uniform, before a ghost appears and uh… well. Let’s just say “bustin’ makes you feel good.”

Long considered lost on the cutting room floor, the footage has now been located and is coming to a new Steelbook 4K/Blu-ray release, together with a plethora of neat special features.

Here’s what’s in...

Join Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Rick Moranis to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Director Ivan Reitman's iconic comedy classic when Ghostbusters returns to 4K Ultra HD June 11 in an all-new limited edition Steelbook, which also includes the 30th Anniversary edition of Ghostbusters II. The set includes both films on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray&#8482, along with an entire additional disc of special features from each film. The films were fully restored from their respective original camera negatives and presented on 4K Ultra HD with Hdr and Dolby Atmos audio; the Blu-rays feature HD presentations also sourced from the 4K restorations.

The special features disc includes more than two hours of long-requested and rare archival elements-including never-before-seen deleted scenes from the first film-along with returning interviews, effects breakdowns, multi-angle explorations and much more! Both films also feature brand new commentaries, featuring the filmmakers...

In our post-Pokémon Go world, lovingly recreating Ghostbusters props isn’t the strangest hobby one can have. But it’s certainly up there. And Adam Savage’s YouTube series Tested offers some insights into the prop recreation community as host Norman Chan interviews DreamWorks Animation storyboard artist/voice actor Sean Bishop about his detailed replica of the original Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1.

Bishop notes that he’s been working on the car on and off for about 12 years, although the past year and the half have been the most focused. Thanks to his production connections, he was able to pay a visit to the Sony lot and take photos of the original movie car for reference. He then purchased a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor “source car” for less than 10 grand on Ebay. The outside of the car is recreated in excruciating detail, but Bishop got a little more creative for the ...

The Annie Awards, Animation's Highest Honor, went all the way for DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon!" The fun, animated film, originally received 15 nominations and won 10 trophies including Best Animated Feature.

Given by the International Animated Film Society, the 38th annual Annie Awards was not without controversy. Apparently, Disney and Pixar announced they would no longer participate in the annual awards because of their concerns over how the event is judged.

The studios claimed the Annie Awards have always been slighted towards DreamWorks Animation. And this year, both DreamWorks film ("How to Train Your Dragon") and TV ("Kung Fu Panda Holiday") topped the Annie Awards.

"Dragon," featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrara, Jonah Hill, and Craig Ferguson, beat Annie contenders such as Universal's "Despicable Me," Disney's "Tangled," Sony Pictures Classics' "The Illusionist," and Pixar's "Toy Story 3" for best animated feature. (Check out...

With awards season is underway comes the 38th Annual Annie Award nominations, which recognize the year’s best work in animation. Since the creation of the animation-specific Oscar category in 2001, the Annies have predicted the Academy Award winner every year except 2006 and 2008.

Unfortunately, the award has been tainted by controversy after CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg reportedly bought each DreamWorks Animation employee a membership in the International Animated Film Society, Asifa-Hollywood, skewing the voting in the studio’s favor. This likely resulted in a surprise sweep by DreamWorks Animations’ Kung Fu Panda at the Annies in 2008-2009 over Pixar’s eventual Oscar winner, Wall-e.

Disney Studios has since pulled its official support of the event and submissions for the awards, though individual animators are able to submit their films themselves. As a result, the rules were changed for individual achievement categories, but Disney sought a neutral committee of animators from every studio to propose and approve guidelines.

The International Animated Film Society, Asifa-Hollywood, announced nominations today for the 38th Annual Annie Awards™ recognizing the year’s best in the field of animation including best animated feature, television production, commercials, short subjects, video games and outstanding individual achievements.

Two years ago, Kung-Fu Panda swept the awards over Wall-e pushing Disney and Pixar to withdraw from the organization and making everyone else wonder if there is any point in caring anymore about the ceremony. Toy Story 3 and Tangled did get Best Picture nominations, but DreamWorks (who pretty much run the show) lead the nominees.

According to /film, Disney’s reason for withdrawing was rooted in the organization’s very loose membership requirements and the fact that DreamWorks seemed actively working to stack the deck in the studio’s favour. Disney-Pixar president Ed Catmull said earlier this year,

“After more than a year of discussions with the Asifa board,...

The full list of nominations for the 38th Annie Awards were announced today with Dreamworks’s How to Train your Dragon gathering up the majority of nominations including Best Feature, Animation, Character Design and Voice Work for Gerard Butler and Jay Baruchel, as well as Directing nominations for Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois.

Pixar’s Up took home the Best Animated Feature earlier this year at the 2009 awards and when the awards are announced next February Lee Unkrich and his team are up from a number of awards, along with Disney’s Tangled, but the recent decision of Disney to withdraw support for the awards may go some way to explaining the relatively few number of nods.

It has been a great year for animation as the films on the list below attest, and it’s nice to see Sylvain Chomet’s enchanting film The Illusionist scoring a point against the domination of CG here.

DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon" flew high above competition by nabbing 15 nominations for the 38th annual Annie Awards given by the International Animated Film Society, Asifa-Hollywood. ("How to Train Your Dragon" movie review)

"Dragon," featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrara, Jonah Hill, and Craig Ferguson, will duke it out with Universal's "Despicable Me," Disney's "Tangled," Sony Pictures Classics' "The Illusionist," and Pixar's "Toy Story 3" for best animated feature. ("How to Train Your Dragon" interviews)

But there's controversy in the Annie Awards world. The Hollywood Reporter is saying that "Disney and Pixar announced they would no longer participate in the annual awards because of their concerns over how the event is judged."

Apparently, Disney was complaining that the Annie Awards has favored DreamWorks in recent years such as when "Kung Fu Panda" won 10 trophies and beat Pixar's "Wall-e" in 2008.

This year, DreamWorks Animation...

The month of December, January, and February pretty much means near-daily updates of award nominations and selections. The latest is for the 38th Annual Annie Awards, awarding excellence in the animation area. Leading the pack is How To Train Your Dragon, a film I recently re-watched and loved just as much as in the theater. Also getting big nods are Despicable Me, Tangled, The Illusionist, and Toy Story 3. Check out the full list below.

Disney has tough competition in the form of itself this year, as “Tangled” and “Toy Story 3″ will compete against one another, along with a host of other fantastic animated films, at the 38th Annual Annie Awards.

The Annie Awards will be a battleground for the upcoming Oscar animation awards. This year, only three animated films will be nominated. Why? Because the rules that govern the Oscars are laughably outmoded. But that’s beside the point.

Fact is, the Annie Awards deserve attention amongst the many other awards shows because so many great animated films were released in 2010, arguably more than traditional films. “Tangled,” “Toy Story 3,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” “Despicable Me” and “The Illusionist” will jostle for the Best Animated Feature award.

Here’s a list of all the nominees.

Best Animated Feature

“Despicable Me” (Illumination Entertainment)

“How to Train Your Dragon” (DreamWorks)

“Tangled” (Disney)

“The Illusionist...

The International Animated Film Society Asifa-Hollywood has announced the nominees for the 38th Annual Annie Awards, and the DreamWorks feature How to Train Your Dragon leads the pack with more than ten nods. But there's a caveat; that and the full list of nominations after the break. This will be the first Annie Awards after Disney and Pixar withdrew from the organization [1] that organizes the awards. Toy Story 3 and Tangled did get Best Picture nominations, and Lee Unkrich was nominated Best Director. But in the feature deaprtment this is DreamWorks' show, with a few nods toward the Warner Bros. film Legend of the Guardians and a scant few other features such as The Illusionist. Disney's reason for withdrawing was rooted in the organization's very loose membership requirements (read: almost non-existent requirements, until recently) and the fact that DreamWorks seemed actively working to stack the deck in the studio's favor.

How To Train Your Dragon has dominated the nominations for the Annie Awards awarded by the International Animation Society.

It will compete for the top category against The Illusionist, Despicable Me, Tangled and Toy Story 3. It is surprising that Tangled and Toy Story were nominated since they withdrew from the International Animation Society.

Here is the complete list of nominations:

Best Animated Feature

Despicable Me – Illumination Entertainment

How to Train Your Dragon – DreamWorks Animation

Tangled – Disney

The Illusionist – Django Films

Toy Story 3 – Disney/Pixar

Best Animated Short Subject

Coyote Falls - Warner Bros. Animation

Day & Night – Pixar

Enrique Wrecks the World - House of Chai

The Cow Who Wanted To Be A Hamburger - Plymptoons Studio

The Renter - Jason Carpenter
