Exclusive: When the CW announced in 2022 that it was cancelling DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow after seven seasons, actor-writer Adam Tsekhman, who played Gary Green, and writer-director Andrew Kasch, who was attached as an editor and director, admit it was a blow.
But the pair, who had become friends over the course of their six years on the superhero show, did not rest idle for long as they came together to collaborate on a whacky short film called The Gummy Bear.
“In our depression, Andrew had the idea for the short and invited me over, and we did it for nothing,” says Canadian actor Tsekhman.
The actor stars in the psychedelic short as a man who is given an experimental gummy bear as a freebie with his regular cannabis delivery. One bite sends him on an unexpected mind-blowing trip. Kasch mixes live action with a kaleidoscope of different animation styles for the trip scenes.

We’re barely seconds into Jurassic Triangle when three nameless individuals run past something odd, a pile of logs, a tarp and what looks like a gas-powered garden tiller. Why would that be odd? Because they’re trapped on an uncharted island that’s overrun with dinosaurs and other strange creatures, not the kind of place you can run off to Peavy Mart for some gardening supplies, or hang around long enough to plant a garden for that matter.
The hapless trio quickly become dinner for the dinos, and we cut to Drew is waking up from a nightmare and remembering he’s on a helicopter with Issac, Beth and their pilot Captain “Call me Andy” Rawson.
It’s one of two choppers carrying corporate types...

You can add The Beekeeper to the long list of action movies named for the jobs their protagonist took up after laying down their weapons and trying to live a peaceful life: The Gardener, The Painter, The Bricklayer… etc, etc. Actually Adam Clay always was a beekeeper, that was the name of the elite unit he was a part of before he retired to actually raise bees. He does this on a farm owned by Eloise Parker somewhere in a very confused part of England that wants us to believe it’s actually Western Massachusetts.
Eloise, who is supposed to be a retired teacher and should know better, falls for one of those computer scams that says you have a virus and to call this number to have it removed.

A couple days ago, we shared the news that writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield has secured distribution in multiple territories for a sequel to his horror twist on a beloved children’s story, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. But that’s not the only project Frake-Waterfield has in the works.

Jurassic Valley is set in 2030. We’re told that nations have been pushed increasingly apart and the world is on the brink of disaster. And that government investment in the war effort has produced a breakthrough “of Jurassic proportions”. In more direct terms it means that we’ve managed to recreate dinosaurs, the flesh-eating ones of course, just in time for World War III to send us back to the stone age.
Now, two years later a group of survivors are running out of food and medical supplies. Three of them, Daniel, Drew and Mia set out to find whatever can be scavenged. This does not sit well with Louise who is carrying Daniel’s child. She, however, may be in as much danger as he will be because they’re all living in the Jurassic Valley.

A few breakout television hits lifted quarterly revenues at Lionsgate, but production delays related to Covid-19 and sluggish subscriber growth at the company’s Starz pay television and streaming arm resulted in wider losses.
Sales at the film and television company climbed 5.8% to $885.4 million, while the net loss attributable to Lionsgate shareholders topped out at $45.6 million or 20 cents per share. That was a steeper drop from profitability than the $13.9 million in losses that Lionsgate logged in the year-ago period. Starz’s net global streaming subscribers increased by 1.7 million in the sequential quarter, with its streaming subscriber base for Starz, Starzplay Arabia and Pantaya topping out at 19.7 million.
The company’s results missed Wall Street’s projections. Lionsgate was expected to post quarterly earnings of 22 cents per share on revenues of $993.8 million.
Last quarter, Lionsgate announced that its board of directors had given the greenlight to its management team to explore...
