Dwayne Johnson: ‘Shazam’ movie could be released early
The Rock is teasing us folks, hinting that his Shazam movie could be released earlier than scheduled. Hmm. I’m torn between my near-militant disdain for the DCU and my near-zealot level of love for The Rock.

Cary Fukunaga leaves adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘It’ over budget cuts
Bummer. After True Detective, I’m looking forward to anything Cary Fukunaga is working on. And it ain’t like he doesn’t have a huge slate of upcoming projects, but the idea of seeing him adaptation a classic was intriguing as fuck.

Monday Morning Commute: (Sgt.) Slaughter of the Soul!
Happy Memorial Day to ya’ll living within the Empire! As a child, most of my worldview was shaped by the World Wrestling Federation. And to be honest, I’m almost positive I’m better for it. And one thing I learned is that those who turn their back on their country are thick-jawed, dastardly pieces of shit. (Like Sgt. Slaughter.) Don’t be a Sgt. Slaughter. Give big ups to those who have served in a moment of fleeting, momentary clarity. And then go about your proper Imperial means of celebration. Charred animal flesh. Excessive drinking. Maybe a jingoistic, statistically inaccurate proclamation about Whatever You Really Like In America.
Sci-Fi writer John Scalzi signs 13 book, 10 year, $3.4M deal.

Alicia Vikander (‘Ex Machina’) in talks for ‘Assassin’s Creed’ movie, new ‘Bourne’ film
Alicia Vikander is fucking awesome. V. much yes awesome. And so coming out of Ex Machina‘s cult, if not runaway, success, I wish her all the profitable roles! Get them ducats!
