After FX first got fan's hopes up when it ordered a script for development back in May, it looks like the network is ready to take the next step with creation of the pilot for Mayans MC.

While Syfy's latest series, Incorporated, isn't a reboot of any previous properties, but with the number of tropes it draws from it feels like it might as well be. Take a healthy dose of 1997's Gattica, and a mix of walled-garden variants (you know the ones, where a small community of have-everythings live segregated away from the rest of the have-nothing population), some Demolition Man, and a bit of Judge Dredd for good measure, and you've basically got the setup for Incorporated.

Tonight on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Felicity Jones, who plays Jyn Erso in Rogue One was showing off some of the fight moves she'd learned for some of her action scenes when it jumps into a short scene of Jyn and Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) in the midst of a running firefight with stormtroopers.

Well we've been waiting for this to hit ever since the micro-teaser appeared online a few days ago, but the new thriller written by Guardian of the Galaxy's James Gunn has finally arrived. While we thought he'd been completely heads down last year working on Guardians 2, it turns out that he'd had a burst of inspiration from a dream he'd had and came up with The Belko Experiment.

For fans of History Channel's scripted drama Vikings, it has been six full months of waiting since we went into the midseason hiatus with the episode, The

BBC America has finally let out a bit of a teaser around this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, to premiere Sunday, December 25th.

It looks like Legendary Entertainment's live-action Pokemon film finally has a director attached. Rob Letterman, who has thus far brought us such films as Monsters vs. Aliens, Gulliver's Travels, and Goosebumps.

So it seems that people aren't really clear on the story flow of Rogue One - it's the story about the events leading up towards Episode IV: A New Hope.

Finally, I get to write up something to the Bleeding Cool audience directly. My name is Bill Watters, and I've actually been contributing to BC over the

After his highly successful (both at the box office as well as with critics) 10 Cloverfield Lane, director Dan Trachtenberg had thus far effectively

YouTube Star Wars fan Mike Zeroh has received some insider tidbits regarding an upcoming trailer for Star Wars: Episode VIII. Granted, it's not a great deal of dialogue, but at the same time we've had very little about what J.J. has been up to out there on set. To that end, we'll have to settle for what we can get.

It seems that the Power Ranger's archenemy, Rita Repulsa has returned and this time she's managed to hack into the Ranger's Twitter account to taunt her old adversaries (and to share a slightly changed look from how we might remember her from the Historical Documents of old).

The trailer for Netflix's new science-investigation series, White Rabit Project, has finally climbed out of it's hole. The series starring Mythbuster's alums Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara is set to premiere at midnight on Dec 9th when all 10 episodes will become available. The trio will use their scientific and investigative skills to investigate events from pop culture, science, and history.

At the end of last week's episode we had Jesus and Carl hidden in the back of a cargo truck on the way to find Negan's lair. Great, that's exciting, that means we can get down to business of dishing out some payback. We get to tonight's episode, 'Swear', and rather than picking up where we left off, we're in the middle of nowhere in an RV with.... Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Heath (Corey Hawkins)?

Tonight we'll be live blogging about tonight's episode of The Walking Dead at 6pm PST. This will be during the initial West Coast broadcast, so we'll be watching and chatting about it as it airs. After the episode completes, the hour's worth of chatter in all it's glory will still be here along with reader comments, so if you haven't yet watched the episode, assume that everything said below will be spoilers.

  Jackie is a film that needs to be looked at from a few different perspectives: it's a biopic that looks at a time in the country's history that has

Browncoats everywhere are lowering their flags to half staff today as word has come out that Emmy-nominated actor Ron Glass has passed away at the age of 71.

Actor Jimmy Smits had already confirmed back in August that he would have some role in Rogue One during an interview on The Talk after sharp eyed fans

In a recent interview with Mr. Wavvy, Ivan Reitman spoke about his legacy as a filmmaker, Space Jam, and the recent Ghostbusters Reboot and what the future might hold for the franchise.

Hopefully Fandango administrators are spending the weekend beefing up their server capacity as Disney's LucasFilm has made the announcement that advance ticket sales for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will start Monday morning in the United States, two and a half weeks before the Dec. 16 opening.

Even 20 years later, the aborted Kevin Smith penned Superman Lives film continues to be the stuff of fandom legend. In one of Smith's recent Facebook Q&A sessions, he was asked what he would think of the idea of bringing his script to live in an animated feature form

With the ongoing conversation about sexism and inclusion in comics is relevant today even more than ever, the BBC posted a video titled Redrawing women

STX Entertainment sure did wait long enough; ComingSoon.net is reporting that with only a few weeks left to go, STX seems to have suddenly realized what else was opening on the same weekend as The Space Between Us, their upcoming young-adult focused sci-fi film. Originally slated to open on December 16th, it would have put them up against the opening night of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. They have now blasted their opening date into the future to February 3rd.

The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Peter Sumner, Australia's one link to Star Wars: A New Hope amongst its cast, has passed away at the age of 74 after an extended illness.

Allied is a straightforward enough premise – two agents (Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard) meet up to conduct an assassination operation in 1942 Casablanca, and the two agents manage to escape back to England.. Only later do questions emerge, which side are they actually on.

Disney has long been the benchmark for brilliant family-oriented musical fare, and their newest entry, Moana, is a worthy new addition to that lineage. With an evolved animation style and set in a world that they’ve never really delved into before (unless you want to count Lilo & Stitch since it was at least set on Kaua’i).

Because it appears there's no series' corpses that networks won't drag out of the crypts to dust off and try to turn into a new show, Netflix's efforts to

We finally start getting some answers with what happened to Maggie and Sasha after the end of the season opener. After having had to go through two spotlight episodes out of the last three, it seems the showrunners are in no hurry to change that trend, so this time we get to focus the bulk of the episode around Maggie at Hilltop, some side time with Carl and Enid get some young couple take a walk through the zombie-infested wilderness time.

Perhaps the fourth time will be better than the third - Variety is reporting that Legendary Entertainment has secured the film and television rights for the classic science fiction Dune properties from the author's estate.

Disney / Pixar today dropped the first official teaser trailer for next Summer's release of Cars 3, and it's definitely got a different vibe of any other Cars trailer that we've seen in the past. The guess would be that it's just setting up the basic idea of what might happen in the story, but then the actual film will handle it along the lines of the light-hearted fare we're used to in the series. For NASCAR fans, seeing the image of Lightning McQueen in an uncontrolled crashing roll would probably have the same impact as the opening sequence in Up! (emotions and tears). While Pixar has long been good at playing with the heartstrings, we're not sure if they're up to a film with this level of grit.
