Why Netflix’s Canceled Stephen King Series Could Have Been Stranger Things’ Successor

As a huge fan of Stephen King, I’ve always been excited about the possibility of seeing The Talisman and Black House adapted for the screen. King really knows dark fantasy – The Dark Tower is legendary, and Fairy Tale is already heading to A24 as a series. For a while, it looked like the Duffer brothers, who brought so much fantasy to life in Stranger Things, were going to tackle The Talisman duology. But apparently, the sheer scale of the story, the budget it would require, and the challenges of bringing it to life visually proved too much. They ultimately decided to work on The Boroughs instead, which I totally understand – some projects are just massive undertakings!

How Star Trek: Discovery Split Its Timeline (& Saved The Franchise)

Initially, Star Trek: Discovery was intended to be a series of unrelated stories. However, after the show’s original creator, Bryan Fuller, left the project, it was reimagined as a prequel taking place in the 23rd century. Fitting Discovery into the timeline just ten years before Star Trek: The Original Series proved difficult, as did other choices, such as drastically changing the look of the Klingons and introducing futuristic technology like the USS Discovery’s spore drive that felt out of place.

18 Years Later, M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening Is Almost A Masterpiece

Shyamalan’s 2008 film, The Happening, is a sci-fi horror movie starring Mark Wahlberg as a teacher trying to survive a deadly airborne virus with his wife.

The First-Ever Superhero Is Coming To Live-Action To Show Marvel & DC How It’s Done

The original Phantom comic was a game-changer for the industry. The character drew inspiration from classic adventure heroes like Tarzan and the Shadow, but also introduced many of the elements that would define the modern superhero – think Batman, Superman, and Captain America. In fact, The Phantom is considered the first costumed superhero to appear in a comic book. Writer Reginald Hudlin is well-versed in the world of superheroes, having written Black Panther for Marvel Comics from 2005 to 2008, making him a great fit for this adaptation.
