Which means it was only a matter of time before we learned Aykroyd would appear inGhostbusters 2020, the upcomingGhostbusterssequel/reboot fromJason Reitman....

Everything We Know About 'Mr. Robot' Season 2

Everything We Know About ‘Mr. Robot’ Season 2 Mr. Robotwas one of my favorite television shows of this year. From the series' surprise twists and turns, to the interesting framing and composition, to the almost up-to-the-minute commentary on our modern world, to the refreshingly accurate look at computer systems and hacking. Sure it didn’t always hit a home run, and I think a lot of us saw that last twist coming a mile away, but it did so many things right....

James Gunn's 'Super' Gets A Great New Poster

James Gunn’s ‘Super’ Gets A Great New Poster James Gunnmade his filmSuper, starringRainn Wilsonas an average guy who creates a costumed alter-ego after his wife (Liv Tyler) leaves him for a drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), on a tiny budget and with a great deal of freedom.
