While Singer admitted ideas are in play, now it’s learned the Fantastic Four and X-Men actually exist in two different universes — meaning no mutants in FF, and no FF in X-Men.
Fox producers Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker sent the NY Daily News the following in an email:
They exist in parallel universes. The Fantastic 4 live in a world without mutants. And the X-Men live in a world without the Fantastic 4.
Whille the Fantastic Four and X-Men do exist in different worlds, the producers still did state they would like to see the characters together on the big screen one day.
Crossing them over would be challenging, but we sure would love to see all those actors together, the way we had them on stage at [San Diego] Comic Con.
Singer previously mentioned if the crossover ever happened “time” would be involved.
Regarding no FF and X-Men shared universe, Hollywood producer Adi Shankar recently brought up a good point, which is that Fox missed the boat on showcasing how differently the public would treat the Fantastic Four (super-powered individuals or heroes) compared to the mutants (i.e. bad) of the X-Men.
The CineMash YouTube channel put the video together.

The game is on in 2017. Warner Bros. Pictures, Village Roadshow Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures’ “Ready Player One”—the already much-anticipated sci-fi action adventure, to be directed by Steven Spielberg—has been slated for release on December 15, 2017. The announcement was made today by Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution; Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution; and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President, Worldwide Distribution, Warner Bros.

A three-time Academy Award winner, Spielberg (“Schindler’s List,” “Saving Private Ryan”) is directing “Ready Player One,” based on Ernest Cline’s bestseller of the same name, which has become a worldwide phenomenon. The film is being produced by Spielberg; Donald De Line, under his De Line Pictures banner; Dan Farah; and Spielberg’s longtime colleague Kristie Macosko Krieger; with Daniel Lupi and Bruce Berman serving as executive producers.

“Ready Player One” marks a return to Warner Bros. for Spielberg, who previously directed the studio’s “Empire of the Sun,” “The Color Purple” and “A.I. Artificial Intelligence,” in addition to producing the hits “Gremlins” and “The Goonies.”
In making the announcement, Fellman stated, “Any film from Steven Spielberg is an event film, so it felt right to date this thrilling new project from one of our greatest filmmakers for the holiday season.”
Sue Kroll added, “From the success of the book, ‘Ready Player One’ already has a devoted following, and we’re excited for its fans and moviegoers everywhere to see this fantastically innovative story come to life. We know it couldn’t be in better hands, and look forward to working with Steven and the producers to bring it to the big screen.”

The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
Adi Shankar, the producer behind the super cool Power Rangers and Punisher fan-films as well as the Dredd and The Grey feature films, now says he would like to remake Fantastic Four.
Fox actually debuts Fantastic Four today with advanced screenings, but the movie has been getting absolutely crushed by the critics.
Fantastic Four presently has an 11% positive rating at WB’s movie aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
Twitter is also lit up with similar sentiments from fans that have seen the movie.
Check out the video above from Shankar’s Facebook page.
Update: Adi Shankar posted another video about Fantastic Four:
Doom comes for the Alliance and the Horde as a great burning shadow falls over Azeroth. During an event streamed live around the world from gamescom 2015, Blizzard Entertainment today unveiled World of Warcraft: Legion, the sixth expansion to its acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
In this dire new chapter of the Warcraft saga, the demonic Burning Legion has returned, seeking to call forth their fallen leader—the dark titan Sargeras, Ravager of Worlds. As destruction rains across Azeroth, its heroes must seek salvation among the ruins of the Broken Isles, doomed center of ancient night elf civilization and birthplace of myths dating back to the world’s creation. In the face of hopeless odds, they must learn to master mighty Artifacts—legendary weapons that hold the potential to bring down the corrupted armies of the Legion—and strike an infernal pact with the dread Demon Hunters of the Illidari . . . accursed followers of the infamous Illidan the Betrayer.
World of Warcraft: Legion ushers in an era of unprecedented conflict for the Alliance and the Horde as the Burning Legion’s crusade against creation enters a terrifying new stage. The expansion is loaded with features and content that will transform players into Azeroth’s elite vanguard against the shadow, including:
New Hero Class: Demon Hunter— Unleash the demon within as an all-new melee hero class gifted with preternatural mobility—and the ability to metamorphose into hellish new forms.
New Feature: Artifact Weapons— Smite the Legion with legendary weapons of lore. Earn Artifact power to unlock abilities and traits, and customize your weapon to suit your needs.
New Continent: The Broken Isles— Discover the fate of a lost night elf civilization, confront twisted fragments of the Emerald Nightmare, and hunt agents of the Legion in all-new zones.
New Feature: Order Hall— Whether you’re paladin or warlock, unite fellow NPC members of your class’s order to carry out missions at your command.
New PvP Honor System— Fight for fame, glory, and a range of new PvP-specific powers as you face the opposing faction in Arenas and Battlegrounds.
Boost to Level 100— Come fully prepared to battle the Legion with a level-100 character boost, and fight alongside your friends in this epic new chapter of World of Warcraft.
“In World of Warcraft: Legion, the stakes for the Alliance and the Horde are higher than ever, so we’re putting some of Azeroth’s deadliest forces directly in players’ hands,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Whether they’re wreaking havoc as a Demon Hunter or unlocking awesome new abilities for their Artifact, players will develop their characters’ power in ways they never have before.”
Stalk Your Prey as a Demon Hunter
Dexterous and deadly, World of Warcraft: Legion’s new Demon Hunter hero class turns the twisted power of the Burning Legion against them. Drawing on fel forces to fuel their attacks, Demon Hunters pursue their prey with uncanny agility, dodging away from danger and closing on enemies in the blink of an eye. Demon Hunters sacrifice their natural vision for Spectral Sight—preternatural perception that allows them to detect targets that regular mortals could not normally see. Whether avatars of Havoc (damage-dealing) or Vengeance (tank), these melee-focused assassins unleash pent-up fury in the form of devastating attacks—even metamorphosing into terrifying demonic forms in moments of great need.
As a World of Warcraft hero class, Demon Hunters have honed their skills over millennia—and much like Wrath of the Lich King®’s Death Knight, Demon Hunters appropriately begin their journey prepared to battle the Legion at a higher level than most other World of Warcraft classes. Demon Hunters also have a unique starting experience that reflects their background and the terrible source of their power.
Wield Legendary Artifacts Against the Legion
To face the seemingly unstoppable might of the Legion, the heroes of Azeroth will need a legendary arsenal worthy of the task. World of Warcraft: Legion equips every champion with their own Artifact—a class-specific, highly customizable weapon forged in the fires of Warcraft mythology. Each character’s Artifact grows in power with its owner, and players can personalize their Artifact with perks, abilities, and appearance-altering characteristics that reflect the hero wielding it, transforming the Artifact into an instrument of order . . . or twisting it into an implement of devastation.
The Broken Isles and Beyond
World of Warcraft: Legion sends players on a forbidden journey to the ruins of theBroken Isles in search of the mythic Pillars of Creation—powerful titan relics said to have shaped Azeroth, and last hope for the world’s salvation. Once the magnificent seat of an ancient night elf civilization, the Broken Isles are now haunted by twisted elven aberrations, horrors from the Emerald Nightmare, and other grim remnants of legends long forgotten. Among the Isles, players will face the armies of the Legion and other dark forces across an array of all-new zones, dungeons, raids, and more on the way to the new level cap of 110.
With the Horde and the Alliance in disarray, players must seek out and bring together other like-minded champions to stand against the demonic hordes. InLegion, each player will take charge of an Order Hall—a site of great power linked closely to a character’s class and cause. The Order Hall will serve as each hero’s base of operations—and a bastion of hope—during their journey to the Broken Isles. From there, players will send NPC followers on missions to help defend Azeroth from the demonic incursion . . . and forge their Artifact into a Legion-felling force to be reckoned with.
For those seeking glory in Arenas and Battlegrounds, Legion also features a new Honor system that provides an entirely new PvP progression path. As players dominate the enemy faction, they’ll unlock PvP-specific spells and abilities that open up a range of new tactical possibilities, and earn prestigious new titles and rewards.
To help the heroes of Azeroth prepare for the coming invasion, World of Warcraft: Legion will allow players to boost one character to level 100, including a newly created character, quickly getting them primed and ready to battle the Burning Legion alongside their friends.

Disney held a presentation yesterday in Johannesburg, South Africa where Doctor Strange concept art was shown off.
While no images have presently surfaced, Twitter users have provided the following descriptions, which hint that Benedict Cumberbatch will closely resemble his comic book counterpart.
Back in1997, Chris Farley was originally going to be the voice of Shrek, but the gig eventually went to Mike Myers, as Farley died later that year and didn’t get to finish his lines (said to be about 80-90% completed).
Above you can check out recently released storyboards and voice-over featuring Chris Farley as Shrek with Eddie Murphy as Donkey.
The Skrek movie was released in 2001 with Myers using a Scottish accent.

Five years ago saw the less than well received Nightmare On Elm Street remake from producer Michael Bay, which starred Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger.
Now it’s learned New Line Cinema is rebooting Nightmare on Elm Street yet again.
Tracking Board reports plot details are slim, but the reboot is said to start over with a fresh new take on Freddy Krueger, and that the studio wants to go back to the drawing board to create a remake worthy of the 1984 Wes Craven original.
It’s said that David Leslie Johnson, known for The Walking Dead, Conjuring 2 and Wrath of the Titans, is writing the script. Johnson was also recently announced to be writing the new Dungeons & Dragons movie for Warner Bros.
The original Nightmare On Elm Street starred Robert Englund, which spawned multiple sequels and even a short-lived TV series.
FUNimation Entertainment announced a record breaking opening night for the theatrical release of “Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’.” The anime film, which opened last night in 894 theaters across the U.S., brought in a stunning $1.97 Million box office for FUNimation Films on opening day of the limited theatrical event. The movie’s per screen average of more than $2,198 landed it in 1st place yesterday in Average Per Screen among the Top 10 movies showing in the U.S. and 6th place in overall box office gross against all major studio releases. “Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’” is now the 8th highest anime opening of all time and the first limited event-style theatrical release to crack the Top 10.
“We are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive fan response to the movie. We knew the opening would be very good but its performance has exceeded everyone’s expectations,” said Michael DuBoise, EVP and COO of FUNimation. “From our theatrical marketing campaign and fan engagement events to our expanded theatrical footprint and the specially produced 15-minute pre-show, FUNimation made a strategic decision to make Dragon Ball Z accessible to anime fans both old and new and it has paid off.”
Theater sell outs were reported in major metropolitan areas including New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. “Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’” opens in Canada on Thursday, August 6, and will screen in more than 1,000 theaters total during its limited theatrical engagement from August 4 – 12, 2015.

“Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’” is the 19th film in the Dragon Ball franchise and is the follow-up to last year’s “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.” The film is a limited event-style theatrical release which includes a specially-produced 15-minute, Dragon Ball Z themed pre-show to create a unique experience for fans that can only be found in theaters.

Not much is known about the Doctor Strange movie other than Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast as the Sorcerer Supreme in addition to Tilda Swinton playing the Ancient One, with Scott Derrickson directing.
We do get a few tidbits from Ben Davis, the cinematographer on the film, from the BAFTA Masterclass in London.
Davis, who also was the cinematographer for Avengers 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy describes that Doctor Strange is set for a “dark” palette and “psychedelic grounding.”
“It has a very psychedelic grounding, and it’s not your typical Marvel action movie,” Davis stated, reports Screen Daily, before also mentioning that his initial reaction to the movie was that it could be “Marvel’s Fantasia.”
“Most of the work within it is about other dimensions,” Davis said. “And I described it, I think, when I was talking to Marvel as Marvel’s Fantasia, in a way, because it’s so sort of out there and different to everything else that they’ve done.”
Davis also compared the imagery to the film to art by M. E. Escher, who is known for his impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations.
“There’s a lot of previsualisation, and there’s a lot of work which is very hard – you look at it and you see the imagery that they’ve created for it and you think, ‘well how the hell do we shoot that!?’ because it’s all sort of Escher stuff. It’s all very out there. I can’t really say much more about it, I’m afraid. But I think it’ll be really interesting, and it’s a very dark movie, I’m pleased to say.
“Doctor Strange” has a November 4, 2016 release with Rachel McAdams in talks for the female lead, and Chiwetel Ejiofor is rumored to be playing Baron Mordo.

Warner Bros. Pictures, Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures and Sweetpea Entertainment are moving forward on a feature film franchise based on Dungeons & Dragons, the world’s most popular role playing game. Hasbro’s Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis, Courtney Solomon and Allan Zeman of Sweetpea Entertainment, and Roy Lee (“The LEGO Movie,” “How to Train Your Dragon”) are attached as producers.
Highlighting the priority being given to the project, Warner Bros. Pictures already has a script, written by David Leslie Johnson (“The Conjuring 2,” “Wrath of the Titans”).
“We are so excited about bringing the world of Dungeons & Dragons to life on the big screen,” said Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, Warner Bros. Pictures. “This is far and away the most well-known brand in fantasy, which is the genre that drives the most passionate film followings. D&D has endless creative possibilities, giving our filmmakers immense opportunities to delight and thrill both fans and moviegoers new to the property.”
“This is such an enormous opportunity to bring the rich fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms to life and, together with the creative powerhouse of Warner Bros., use movies to tell the stories that have enchanted passionate D&D fans for decades,” said Stephen Davis, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer of Hasbro, Inc. “D&D is the role-playing game that started it all and now we have the opportunity to ignite a franchise for its legions of avid fans in a way never done before.”
Dungeons & Dragons first became popular in 1974, and since then has amassed millions of players and fans worldwide. The hugely popular property has also influenced numerous writers, directors, game designers, and other creative professionals throughout its four decades.
“We are thrilled that this beloved property can finally make its way to the big screen after 20 years, and that it can be realized by Warner Bros., which has been responsible for the biggest fantasy franchises over the past two decades,” said Courtney Solomon of Sweetpea Entertainment.
The announcement reflects the resolution of Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast LLC’s complaint against Sweetpea Entertainment, Inc. and Sweetpea BVI, Ltd. and the counterclaims filed by Sweetpea against Hasbro in May 2013 related to the Dungeons & Dragon brand. Solomon and Zeman will be attached to produce all Warner Bros.-produced Dungeons & Dragons film and television productions. All rights for future Dungeons & Dragons productions have been unified and returned to Wizards of the Coast, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hasbro.
The shooting took place around 2:15 ET at the start of Mad Max: Fury Road at the Carmike Hickory 8 theaters at 901 Bell Road.
Police were able to respond almost immediately, which led to the death of the alleged gunman, said to be a 51-year-old white male, who was armed with gun and a hatchet.
The gunman is said to have used pepper spray throughout the theaters and was wearing a surgical mask, possibly to stop the effects of the pepper spray.
The two immediate responding officers entered through the projection room and engaged the suspect in gunfire. The suspect then attempted to leave through the back door where the SWAT team engaged and fatally wounded him.
The suspect was the only one wounded by gunfire. It’s reported two women were injured from exposure to the pepper spray, and that one man suffered superficial injuries to his shoulder, thought to be from the hatchet.
Two backpacks were also found at the scene, one on the suspect and one left in the theater, with the police stating they weren’t comfortabe with the backpacks, which would be detonated.
It’s reported no victims were transported to the hospital and no one was seen covered in blood.
