Take the crown in our 'Mary Queen of Scots' Blu-ray giveaway

Mary Queen of Scots explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. And instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. By birth, she also has a rival claim to the throne of Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie), who rules as the Queen of England. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth's sovereignty. Rivals in power and in love, the two Queens make very different choices about marriage and children. Betrayal, rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens--driving them apart, as each woman experiences the bitter cost of power.

To go into the running to win a prize, post this article to your social media profiles and send your postal address to ben at TweakTown dot com before the competition closes on May 6.

According to a recent leak out of a dedicated SEGA news Twitter account, it has showcased Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik and has also claimed that a new trailer will be released tomorrow.

Rumor: Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer releases tomorrow

At the start of early March we saw that some images come out for a coming live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. The images were quite odd and showcased Sonic with no gloves, shoes and a cheeky look on his face. According to SEGABits, a new trailer for this movie will be released tomorrow and we should see the final design of Sonic.

Combined with the rumored trailer announcement we also get a image of Jim Carrey playing Dr. Robotnik. If you are a skeptic to image I have provided an image from Carrey's personal instagram where he said that he got his hair cut for the role of Robotnik. A set picture has also been taken of the spacecraft that Carrey is sitting in. If a trailer is released tomorrow I will be sure to follow up with another post.

Elmo fixes feud between Cersei and Tyrion in Game of Thrones

Jak Connor | Apr 19, 2019 2:00 AM CDT

There is fewer characters in Game of Thrones who hate eachother more than Cersei and Tyrion Lannister, but is all hope lost for the brother and sister relationship? Elmo to the rescue!

Elmo fixes feud between Cersei and Tyrion in Game of Thrones

In a new and very clever video that has been released onto the official Sesame Street YouTube Channel, Elmo is pitted against two of Westeros' masterminds. The video begins with Cersei and Tyrion negotiating over a cup of wine, when the talk hits its peak both Tryion and Cersei hear some rumblings below the table they are sitting at. To there amazement they see a fury red fellow in armor begin to sit at the table with them, shortly after Elmo begins to speak about having respect for each other.

Sesame Street has done a fantastic job of reminding people that they need to have respect for each other even if there is a feud that needs to be worked out. Elmo even provides strategies for people to take into account if they do have a disagreement with someone. He reminds people to always respect each other and also to make sure to listen what each other have to say. I must say this is quite a clever thing that Sesame Street has done and overall the message of the video is a very positive one. Perhaps Elmo should be the one to sit on the iron throne at the end of this season?

Disney+ will include ENTIRE movie library and more for $7

Jak Connor | Apr 13, 2019 2:00 AM CDT

Disney has showcased their upcoming streaming service planned for launch this November. The service will include everything Disney, and when I say everything Disney - I mean everything.

Disney+ will include ENTIRE movie library and more for $7

So what will be coming to Disney+ when it launches? Firstly, Disney will be throwing together most of their IP (excluding R rated content) movie and TV show wise. By the end of the year, Disney plans on having 5000 episodes of Disney Channel Shows, over 100 Disney Channel Original Movies as well as all of The Simposon's episodes.

Periodically over the course of the year Disney plans on rolling out 40 more movies that include National Geographic series' and documentaries. At the moment Netflix will retain the Marvel Cinematic Movies, but no doubt after their contracts are up Disney will be pulling them from Netflix's service and placing them on their own platform.

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan tease Rush Hour 4 on Instagram

Jak Connor | Apr 8, 2019 5:00 AM CDT

One of the most staple comedies out there has to be the Rush Hour franchise, gaining quite a lot of support over the years many fans have requested for a fourth movie to made. Nothing has been officially confirmed as of yet, but we do have a teaser from quite a reliable source.

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan tease Rush Hour 4 on Instagram

The tease has comes from Rush Hour actor, Chris Tuckers official Instagram page. The image shows Tucker with other Rush Hour star Jackie Chan holding up both of their hands with four out-stretched fingers. Back in 2017, Chan revealed that for seven years he had been declining scripts for Rush Hour 4 but was then finally presented one that met the franchises standards.

While this isn't a confirmation of any sort, this certainly is a big hint that Rush Hour 4 could be on its way to becoming a reality. The first question that came to mind would be while else would these certain actors be posing like this if Rush Hour 4 wasn't a possibility?Hopefully sometime this year we get an official confirmation for a new movie, as I'm sure many fans - including myself - would be very excited to see what it would be have in-store.

Game of Thrones changes the 'medium of television' forever

Jak Connor | Apr 8, 2019 4:00 AM CDT

As we are moving closer to the release of the final season Game of Thrones the actors of the show have begun doing the interviews about the coming season.

Game of Thrones changes the 'medium of television' forever

Collider did an interview with John Bradley, who plays Samwell Tarly in the show has explained how he believes Game of Thrones has changed the landscape of television forever. He says that Game of Thrones stands as an example of how televison can rival cinema in terms of ambition, visuals and more. Here is what he had to say; "A lot of the TV that comes after [Game of Thrones] is taking lessons from it and using it as a springboard in terms of what can be achieved through the medium of television and how, given the right set of people and the right circumstances, it can rival cinema, and it's got a right to be ambitious."

Bradley continued and said; "It's created a whole new sense of ambition in TV that wasn't really there before. There has never been anything on this visual scale before. And I think TV is no longer seen as a kind of poor cousin of cinema. I hope that TV going forward feels that we've empowered it to be as ambitious as we've been." If you have been keeping up with Game of Thrones and are amongst the communities that have been created around the show, I think you'd agree with Bradley's statements. Game of Thrones seems like the biggest TV show yet universe size wise, it stands as a staple example that fantasy can be a massive success on TV when done correctly.

I think that would be friggin' awesome". Skip to 1:26 to see Levi's comments on Henry Cavill as Superman.

Superman with a mustache from Justice League reshoots leaks

Anthony Garreffa | Apr 1, 2019 9:57 PM CDT

We all know the horrors of the utterly near universe-destroying bad decisions Warner Bros. executives made with the Justice League reshoots, taking control of the movie away from Zack Snyder during his time of need, and butchering Justice League in the end with Avengers' director Joss Whedon's changes.

Superman with a mustache from Justice League reshoots leaks

If you forgot, Henry Cavill grew a mustache for his role in the kick ass Mission Impossible Fallout, but then WB fired Snyder, slapped a 2-hour time limit on the movie and had Whedon reshoot a bunch of it. The reshoots completely ruined Snyder's five-part story arc he started with Man of Steel and continued with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice but had his world shattered and destroyed, even worse than Superman's mo.

You can even see the dots on Henry's face for the CGI that would happen in post production. Heh.
