It seems our readers were big fans of our previous Movie Secrets videos, exploring amazing facts about your favorite films! We decided to make this a series to help quench your thirst for movie knowledge! So sit back, relax and enjoy Screen Rant’s Know Your Movies: 20 Amazing Movie Secrets That Will Blow Your Mind #3. Mad Max: Fury Road Actor Hugh Keays-Byrne had his face hidden behind a mask as the villain of the Mad Max reboot, but audiences were originally going to see him play a superhero of a million faces, as the Martian Manhunter in director George Miller’s cancelled DC Comics team-up, Justice League Mortal....

Last year brought the world tons of critically acclaimed video games, but few stand alongside Red Dead Redemption 2. The sequel to everyone’s favorite virtual Western captivates with an engaging story, plenty of action, and a dense world to explore. The game features great performances, a massive open world, gorgeous graphics, and incredible sound design. There is little that people can hold against such a well-made game, but is that because it’s perfect, or because people are giving it too much credit?...

Sailor Moon is one of the most beloved and iconic animes ever to exist. It has spawned several dubs, new series, movies, a musical, toys, and more. It was a saga to rock a generation. One of the most iconic parts of Sailor Moon is the ultimate pairing of Sailor Moon herself and Tuxedo Mask, her prince and partner in love and heroism. Beyond their alter egos, these characters are known as Usagi and Mamoru in the versions from Japan, and Serena and Darien in the English versions....

In its final season, FX’s The Americans took home three of the top awards during the 2018 Television Critics Association Awards, which was held tonight. The series has long been a favorite of critics and this year it was recognized not only for Outstanding Achievement in Drama and as the winner of Program of the Year, it also nabbed an award for co-star Keri Russell, who took home the award for Individual Achievement in drama....

Casting a movie is no easy feat. One has to consider the star power and acting ability of the actors involved. On top of that, the casting director must strike the right balance. Too many big names and the budget topples over. Too many obscure up-and-comers and the movie lacks marketability. With all this in mind, it is understandable that sometimes movies miss the mark with their casting choice. Sometimes the fans have the right idea in mind (no matter how unfeasible) and the casting director just cannot make it work....

Harvest Moon: Mad Dash, coming to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 this fall, is a modern twist on the classic farm simulator and RPG. Harvest Moon: Mad Dash will forego the series’ slow and methodical farming, building, and romance in favor of a fast-paced multiplayer experience. The first Harvest Moon, playable on the Super Nintendo, was released in Japan in 1996 and reached English-speaking audiences in 1997. Since then, there have been dozens of sequels and spin-offs....

We’re used to reports of people misusing AirTags to track people, but one accused domestic abuser has used his Apple Watch to track his girlfriend… WSMV4 reports. As we’ve noted before, Apple devices are a particularly dumb way to track people illegally given the safeguards in place and the fact that police can use court orders to obtain owner details. Apple cooperates in such cases. A man has been arrested for attaching an Apple Watch to his girlfriend’s car to track her whereabouts, according to an arrest affidavit....

In recent years, Hollywood has come to rely heavily on comic books in order to find movie ideas. With more and more movies based on comics coming out each year, the list of celebrities that have played a big part in this kind of project is immense. As in pretty much all professions, there are movie stars that appear to be marvelous people, and others that we definitely wouldn’t describe that way....

Since the advent of modern entertainment, fans have only gotten moore obsessed with the romantic lives of the actors who brought their favorite stories to life. The prospect of real romance blossoming out of fairy tales makes the fairy tales seem all the more tantalizingly real. The entire tabloid industry would probably fold without the massive numbers of fans constantly on the lookout for news regarding who’s canoodling with whom....

As The Simpsons’ central protagonist, Homer Simpson is one of its best and funniest characters. As the Simpson patriarch, he works hard to provide for his family. Overall, he is not really a bad guy, but this does not mean that he is perfect. Most of the time he does horrible things either out of desperation, anger, or sheer stupidity. Since 1989, Homer has committed countless crimes and has gone to jail over a dozen times....

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe will get all of the praise for bringing Marvel’s characters to the big screen in an interconnected shared universe, it was the X-Men movies that first created its own mini universe in the early 2000s. Even with Disney’s purchase of Fox likely to go through in 2019, this franchise stood on its own two feet and produced high-quality films over nearly two decades. In fact, can you even imagine anyone else but Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine?...

The prospect of a live action Star Wars TV show has been dangled in front of us many times. When Disney bought the rights to Star Wars in 2012, it seemed like that tantalizing dream could finally become a reality. Upcoming shows were rumored, but ultimately snatched away from us. We’ve already gone over why a live-action Star Wars show would be a great idea, and now we thought it would be fun to do some full-on fantasy drafting....

Everybody might be talking about Captain America: Civil War at the moment, but we’re already looking forward to the next big Marvel ensemble- Avengers: Infinity War! And when we say “ensemble,” we mean it. While not much has been revealed about the two-part pinnacle of Marvel Phase 3, the Russo brothers have said that we will be seeing 67 named characters in Infinity War. It’s a staggering number, and could potentially include every superhero we have met so far in the MCU (and then some)....

Fans of scary movies finally saw one of their kind get the respect it deserves in 1991, when TheSilence of the Lambs took home Best Picture at the Academy Awards. And even that film was more of a thriller than a horror flick. But other than that, scare fests haven’t received much love from Oscar voters over the years. And it’s a shame, because horror films are really easy to get wrong and profoundly difficult to get right....

Batman is one of the most popular superheroes around for a very good reason. He demands your respect because he’s just so damn good at everything he does. And he didn’t get his abilities through some freak accident, mutation, or alien origin. Bruce Wayne got them the old-fashioned way: hard work, perseverance, and a demand for perfectionism–a razor-sharp focus for waging his one-man war on crime. Given his intensive combat training and genius-level sleuthing skills, the Dark Knight Detective is one of the most formidable heroes in the DCU (or the world of comics in general), giving him a skill-set that dwarfs many of his superpowered peers....

There is no denying that Marvel and DC Comics release the biggest amount of great superhero movies on a regular basis. On the Marvel side, there are the very lucrative Avengers films, the critically-acclaimed Thor: Ragnarok, as well as the films who manage to succeed by every measure, such as Black Panther. On the DC side, there are Oscar-worthy films like The Dark Knight, profitable projects such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and also critical and commercial blockbusters like Wonder Woman....

When Iron Man made his first comic book appearance in Tales of Suspense #39 way back in 1963, at the time, no one knew that the character would remain popular nearly 50 years later. After all, Iron Man was a different kind of superhero, especially when considering the character beneath the suit, Tony Stark. Stark was not like other superheroes: he was deeply flawed and not exactly the most likable person on the planet....

[This is a review of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4, episode 8. There will be SPOILERS.] – Ever since Inhumans were introduced partway through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2, the part-Kree/part-human powered individuals have been a focus of Marvel’s first TV spinoff from the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Inhumans took somewhat of a backseat in the opening episodes of season 4 with the introduction of Robbie Reyes, aka Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna) – though the threat of anti-Inhuman groups like the militaristic Watchdogs have been a throughline this year....

Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s season 5 finale - Clark Gregg is set to meet with the showrunners of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to discuss a return for season 6. ABC picked up the pieces left by The Avengers in 2012 to resurrect Phil Coulson. Since then, Coulson took over as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., helped build the agency back up after Hydra’s takeover, and continued to dodge all those in pursuit along the way....

Game shows are experiencing a crazy renaissance. Not only are tons of game shows launching with innovative new concepts, but many of the old classics our parents and grandparents used to watch are making their way back to the small screen, too. And in many cases, it’s well-known actors who are heading up the shows, serving as comical, entertaining, and enthusiastic hosts. Should celebrities really be game show hosts? Of course many have successfully made that transition, like Drew Carey who took over for Bob Barker on The Price is Right, Steve Harvey, who has reinvigorated Family Feud, Howie Mandel, who put Deal Or No Deal on the map, and Wayne Brady who has introduced Let’s Make a Deal to a whole new generation....
