With Nosferatu a critical, audience, and box office hit, viewers can't seem to get enough of vampire movies as Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula has become a streaming hit on Tubi, hitting number six on the charts. The film stars Gary Oldman as a scenery-chewing Dracula along with Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing. It received positive reviews at the time of its release and did well at the global box office, earning nearly $216 million globally on a $40 million budget.

Coppola's adaptation is a gothic and atmospheric take on the original book by Stoker. But don't expect anything in the realm of Universal Studio's classic monster movies as this film was produced and released by TriStar Pictures (Sony). Oldman's initial appearance as Dracula is different, to say the least. He appears as an old man with an interesting hair-do, robe, and long nails.

In the latest issue of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic titled "I Shall Make You a Star-Lord," Marvel revealed that not only is Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, bisexual, but he's also in a polyamorous relationship with a couple named Aradia and Mors. The question as to whether or not this will be made canon with Chris Pratt's version of the character in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has yet to be answered. Marvel Studios was unavailable for comment when Entertainment Weekly previously reached out about the idea making its way into the McU.

"It would be fantastic if the McU portrayed Star-Lord as bisexual, however, with Pratt's involvement and the lengths they've gone to making the character a ladies' man, we're not holding our breath."

With characters like Wiccan, Hulkling, and Mystique, Star-Lord isn't the first LGBTQ+ character from the Marvel comics. Thanks to the...

Exclusive: The fourth and final season of Kit Williamson’s Emmy-nominated Lgbtq series Eastsiders will be available on Netflix on December 1.

Thanks to a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $140,000 from fans, Eastsiders, a co-production with Wolfe Video, will be back with a fourth season that picks up with the Silver Lake gang one year later. Executive produced by Williamson and his husband John Halbach, who also star, the six-episode Season 4 tackles heavy, adult-world questions like how do two human beings make love last? What does commitment really look like in a long-term relationship? And what unique challenges does a “gay marriage” present?

Cal (Williamson) and Thom (Van Hansis) are back home from Season 3’s cross-country road trip, still a couple but wondering if they are really just best friends with benefits. Douglas (Willam Belli) and Quincy (Stephen Guarino) are engaged to be married, but with very different ideas about what a gay wedding should be.

The family of The Walking Dead stuntman John Bernecker confirmed his death after sustaining “serious injuries” on the set of the AMC drama in Georgia. He was 33.

The announcement was shared on Friday evening via a statement on the nonprofit LifeLink Foundation’s website. The family also revealed that they will donate his organs.

“Although devastated by their loss, John’s loved ones have ensured his legacy will live on, not only through the personal and professional contributions he made during his life, but also by their generous decision to allow John to save lives as an organ donor,” the statement reads.

The eighth season of AMC’s The Walking Dead recently commenced production in southern Georgia, and some of the cast members have begun to share images from the set to their social media accounts. Up until now, they’ve all been fairly innocuous little character teases, but the latest pic from series newcomer Daniel Newman may have just spoiled a pretty major plot point.

Newman, who plays a Kingdom soldier named Daniel, shared an Instagram photo (which has since been deleted) of himself alongside Andrew Lincoln (Rick) and Jeremy Palko (Andy), and the trio appear to be hanging out at the Saviors’ compound. This would obviously seems to confirm that Rick will be taking the fight to Negan after the villain’s defeat in the season 7 finale, and it also suggests that a significant battle from the source material is on the horizon.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the extreme lateness of this "Vampire Diaries" recap. In my defense, I was busy on Thursday night -- busy hanging out with Joseph Morgan and getting you all the scoop on the budding Klaus/Caroline romance -- so I'm hoping you'll forgive me just this once!

Hopefully the late recap doesn't imply that I didn't love this episode. In fact, it may rank as my favorite "Tvd" episode ever. An unexpected connection, a Stefan/Klaus showdown, and tons of quality time with my fave, Matt Donovan? Count me in.

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries": Damon and Elena totally kissed, and some other stuff happened.

8:00 - Okay, I know all the "Vampire Diaries" fans love a good Damon shower scene, but I can't be the only one who was cracking up as he creepily smiled to himself while hosing down. Who does that?...

New mysterious human arriving in ep 11 & more in this new Vampire Diaries season 3 spoiler. Hey Vd fans we just got a new,spoiler scoop from Spoiler TV. Apparently, Vampire Diaries is bringing on a new,mysterious human named Darren Warren in episode 11. I say,mysterious,because there is no damn info on the net about what he will be doing on the show. Hell, the only reason why we know he's on the show,is because it appeared in his IMDb acting credits. I was barely able to find out that he was human. Luckily, Vampirediaries wikia gave us,at least, that much. Your guess is as good as mine as to what he will be doing. Maybe he'll just be more snacks for Klaus or the other vampires,which,I think, is highly likely since there wasn't a big deal made about his appearance. Hey, but who knows, he...

The Weinstein Company has altered its release calender for 2011, with the most notable change being Apollo 18's shift into 2012. The Timur Bekmambetov-produced found-footage project was set to debut in less than a month, on April 22, and now it will be released on January 6, 2012. No other movies have been slated for release on January 6 yet.

The studio also moved Piranha 3Dd from September 16 to November 23. The 3D sequel would have squared off against Drive, Johnny English Reborn, and Straw Dogs on September 16. Now it will face Hugo Cabret, Arthur Christmas, Project X, and The Muppets.

Our Idiot Brother, formerly My Idiot Brother, has also been given an August 26, 2011 release date, and I Don't Know How She Does It will be released in Piranha 3Dd's former slot, September 16.

The Weinstein Company also announced the launching of a video game company entitled TWC Games, which will produce video games based off former Weinstein Company movies.

Attention Outlanders! If you have not seen the 2009 SyFy Channel version of Stephen King's Children of the Corn as of yet, well now is your chance! The SyFy Channel will be broadcasting it this Sunday, January 2nd at 8 Am central time (check your local listings for exact time in your viewing area) during a Stephen King four-movie marathon that will also feature the made-for-tv movies The Langoliers, The Stand and The Tommyknockers. Directed by Donald Borchers (producer on the original 1984 film), this "re-harvesting" of the Stephen King story features Kandyse McClure and David Anders as troubled couple Vicky and Burt and also stars Preston Baily as young religious leader Isaac and Daniel Newman as his right-hand law enforcer Malachai. Like the original, this version was also filmed in the corn-crop state of Iowa and used many of the locals to play the "Children" of the rural town of Gatlin, Nebraska.

Rest your wallets, folks, there are hardly any new major horror releases this week. Instead we're getting mostly re-released Blu-ray and 3D Blu-rays. Really the only thing that's piquing our curiosity is RoboGeisha!

And if you are a gamer, soundtracks to your favorite zombie killing video games are now available for playing outside of the game consoles. Excited? Not even a little?

Salma Hayek is the only woman in the world that can pull off having a full beard or unibrow and still be Foxy McHot.

Well Outlanders, tonight marks the premiere of Donald Borchers "re-harvesting" of Stephen King's Children of the Corn. For lovers of the original short story by Stephen King, this is said to follow the Night Shift collection entry, depicting the original not-so-happy ending that was changed in the original movie. The film, which was produced last September in the Quad-City area of Iowa, stars Kandyse McClure, David Anders, Daniel Newman and Preston Bailey as "Isaac". Children of the Corn can be seen tonight at 8 Pm Central so be sure to check your local listings for the broadcasting time in your area. In the meantime, check below for a special SyFy preview.

It stars David Anders ( Heroes ), Kandyse McClure, Daniel Newman as Malachi, & Dexter 's Preston Bailey as Isaac. The 1984 Children Of The Corn starred Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton and eventually went on to spawn 6 sequels. Dimension and The Weinstein Company released announced their intentions to do a theatrical remake unrelated to this one. Watch the trailer and clip below!

Anchor Bay Entertainment has set an October 6 DVD street date for the remake of Children Of The Corn that debuts this fall on the Syfy channel. Fango managed to snag a first look at the cover art, which you can see below.

This new version was shot in Davenport Iowa and stars David Anders (Heroes), Kandyse McClure, Daniel Newman as Malachi, & Dexter's Preston Bailey as Isaac.

Donald Borchers' take on the Stephen King tale Children of the Corn is set to air on SyFi (that's the former Sci-Fi Channel) this September. An exact date has not been announced, but a debut month is more info than anything we've got on the redo since it rolled cameras last year. The film stars David Anders, Kandyse McClure, Daniel Newman ( interview ) and Dexter 's Preston Bailey. Much like the 1984 adaptation, the film follows two travelers as they roll through a town in Nebraska where all of the children have slaughtered the adults. Anchor Bay Entertainment will handle DVD distribution sometime after the film makes its television premiere.

The first trailer for Road Trip: Beer Pong, the straight-to-dvd sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2000 comedy, has arrived online as well as the DVD box art. The flick hits shelves on August 11 and stars Preston Jones, Michael Trotter, Daniel Newman, Nestor Aaron Absera, Danny Pudi, Julianna Guill, Julia Levy-Boeken and original Road Trip cast member DJ Qualls. In the film, three college roommates go on the ride of their lives when they drop everything to join a bus full of sexy, scantily clad models to compete in the ultimate sport competition - the National Beer Pong Tournament.

Donald Borcher's Children of the Corn remake (can we really call movies based on book remakes?) is currently rolling in Iowa, but news on who's appearing in the film has been slow. Preston Bailey and Daniel Newman are playing Isaac and Malachai, but where are the adults?

THR helped us out there with news that Kandyse McClure of "Battlestar Galactica" and David "Heroes" Anders have joined the cast as a troubled couple attempting to rekindle their relationship with a second honeymoon. Too bad they end up in Malachai's territory. OUTLANDER!!!

Expect a set report from us next week, and Children of the Corn will premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel in 2009!

Remakes aren't just happening on the big screen, people. They're happening on the little screen too. The Sci Fi Channel recently added former British Samurai David Anders, Battlestar Galactica cutie Kandyse McClure, Preston Bailey and Daniel Newman to the cast of their CHILDREN OF THE CORN remake. In the film, McClure and Anders star as a couple who decide to go on a driving trip as sort of a second honeymoon and somehow end up in a rural community with some freaky ass children. Bailey will...

Sci Fi Channel is fleshing out the cast of its "Children of the Corn" remake, with David Anders, Kandyse McClure, Preston Bailey and Daniel Newman coming aboard the two-hour telefilm.

The movie, based on the Stephen King novel, features Anders (NBC's "Heroes") and McClure (Sci Fi's "Battlestar Galactica") as Burt and Vicky, a couple with marital problems whose attempt at a second-honeymoon driving trip ends up taking them into a seemingly deserted rural community that conceals a grim secret among its rows of tall corn. Bailey (Showtime's "Dexter") plays boy preacher Isaac, while Newman (NBC's "Surface") plays his rebellious right-hand man Malachai.

The movie, set to air next year, is shooting in and around Davenport, Iowa. Donald P. Borchers is directing from his own script.

Anders is repped by Silver Massetti & Szatmary and Liberman/Zerman Management; Bailey is with the Savage Agency and Elements Entertainment.

This afternoon professional photographers Shayne and Walter Emmert of E.

Daniel Newman may be playing Malachai, but who is going to lead the army of children in the onslaught against the adults? Why ... it's little Cody!

Styd learned that Preston Bailey, a familiar face to all "Dexter" fans, has been cast as the evil preacher and ring leader Isaac in Donald Borcher's 2009 adaptation of Children of the Corn. This new take on Stephen King's short story will premiere on the Sci Fi channel next year with a theatrical run in Europe.

Daniel Newman has been cast as baddie Malachai in the upcoming remake of horror movie Children Of The Corn. The made-for-tv film, to be directed by original producer Donald P.

Since I've gotten away with confessing my relative apathy towards highly regarded horror classics The Shining and Suspiria, it seems perfectly safe for me to go ahead and admit that I've not yet seen Children of the Corn. I know, I know, that one isn't exactly in the same league as those two, but it does hold a reputation in its own right.

Now that a Sci-Fi Channel remake is getting into gear, I'll likely make a greater point of getting around to it (sorry it has to come to that, but call it somewhat of a personal trend). Monika Bartyzel brought up the first round of casting news, and now from Shock Till You Drop comes word that young actor Daniel Newman has been cast in the role of Malachai on the production, which just began filming in Iowa this week.

I'm going to take a stab and guess...

Seems the upcoming Children of the Corn remake, which started rolling in Iowa this week, has found itself a Malachai in the form of Cirque du Freak actor Daniel Newman, according to Styd this morning.

The redux, which already has a slot on the Sci Fi Channel for its premiere in 2009, is being directed by Donald Borchers, one of the producers on the 1984 original, and will also feature David Anders and Kandyse McClure in starring roles.

Hopefully Borchers’ earlier promise of keeping this one scary and the tone serious will be upheld. It’s bad enough it’s premiering on the Sci Fi Channel; making sure it’s a good film and a faithful adaptation of the Stephen King short story that inspired it is necessary.
