Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Surprised Disney haven't just bought it up... like everything else.
Hmm they could but probably won't. They make too much money with good old Bond.
They will probably just extend the agreement, milk it to death, then decide meh someone else can have this tired old franchise lol
Let's hope it doesn't end up in SJW sympathizing hands.
I don't know if Sony will give up on a new deal so easily. It's about the only reliable franchise they're attached to right now. They squandered Girl With The Dragon Tattoo sequels, screwed up on the last Spider-Man and their new Ghostbusters is in uncharted waters.
