James Wan is lending his talents as a producer to yet another horror reboot, this time in the form of Arachnophobia. The director of Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring has been taking a break from the horror genre by directing DC’s Aquaman movie for the past couple years. However, over that same period of time, Wan has attached himself as a producer to several in-development horror projects, among them a big screen take on Stephen King’s The Tommyknockers, a Resident Evil movie (or TV show) reboot, and a Swamp Thing TV series for DC’s streaming service....

Kevin Smith’s Jay & Silent Bob Reboot will feature three different Batman actors; here’s who they are and where they played the Caped Crusader before. Arriving 18 years after Jay and his hetero life-mate, Silent Bob, first went to Hollywood to try and stop a Bluntman and Chronic movie from being made (spoiler, they failed), the duo must now halt production on that film’s inevitable reboot. Originally, Smith was to share the first trailer for Jay & Silent Bob Reboot during his Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, but the director must have been antsy, because the trailer dropped two days earlier than expected....
