Earlier this month Robert Downey Jr. was talking about how he wanted to create a Sherlock Holmes Cinematic Universe after Sherlock Holmes 3 comes out. And that’s all well and good, but first – Sherlock Holmes 3 has to actually get made, and it doesn’t seem like that’s happening anytime soon. Dexter Fletcher, who is taking over the franchise from Guy Ritchie, recently said that the long-awaited sequel is now “on the back burner,” suggesting things won’t get off the ground anytime soon.

Even though Tom Cruise and the Mission: Impossible franchise have become known for their death-defying practical stunts, Daniel Craig and the James Bond franchise have staged their fair share of cinematic mayhem. In fact, one particular No Time to Die stunt during the film’s production in Matera, Italy required a city street to be sprayed with 8,400 gallons of Coca-Cola, and it’s not even an egregious piece of production placement where James Bond crashes into a Coca-Cola truck.

Director James Cameron recently revealed that production on Avatar 2 is 100% complete in both live-action and motion capture filming, and Avatar 3 wasn’t too far behind. If you’re wondering what’s taking so damn long, it might be more than just the extensive post-production process and development of state-of-the-art technology. Because according to Sigourney Weaver, preparation for the shoot required cast members to train with “elite military divers” in order to allow them to hold their breath underwater for as much as six minutes, so Cameron could maximize the amount of footage he could capture in a single take.

There’s an on-going trend in book publishing that has authors throwing “woman” or “girl” into the titles of their mysteries. Gone Girl. The Girl on the Train. The Woman in the Window. I guess you could even go back further with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and its subsequent Girl sequels. And now Netflix is getting into the action with The Woman in the House. It’s not a book, though – it’s a new limited series that will star Kristen Bell. In the show, Bell plays a woman who thinks she’s witnessed a murder. Or has she?

Sony Pictures ain’t afraid of no ghost, but they’re certainly afraid of the coronavirus pandemic, and it appears they’re worried that the first quarter of 2021 won’t be a prime time to bring audiences back to theaters. The studio has pushed back the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife yet again, this time all the way back to the summer of 2021, closer to the window it was meant to be released in earlier this year.

What’s the scariest movie ever made? I’m sure everyone has their own opinion on this, and some of those opinions will make other people angry because they don’t match their particular opinions. So it goes! But can we ever officially determine what counts as the scariest movie ever made? I’d say no, since taste is subjective. But leave it to some nerds to try to get to the bottom of this using science. As part of something called the Science of Scare Project, it was determined that Sinister, Scott Derrickson‘s creepy 2012 chiller starring Ethan Hawke, is the scariest movie ever made. And I’m sorry, you can’t argue with science.
