Hugh Dancy From 'Hannibal' Swaps The Kitchen For The Bedroom In 'Fifty Shades Darker'
For three season's of NBC's gluttonous feast, Hannibal, we saw a tortured Hugh Dancy play traumatized FBI agent Will Graham. This time Dancy will be on the other side of the couch, serving as psychiatrist to Jamie Dornan's Christian Grey in sequel Fifty Shades Darker. The sequel to E.L. James's erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey sees original stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan return, alongside Kim Basinger, Rita Ora and now Dancy.

Forget Jon Snow: Why Game of Thrones Needs THIS Character Back!
Before you start, no really, it isn't Jon Snow. It also isn't Stannis, Ned, Joffrey, King Robert, Barristan Selmy, or the old Northern woman who warned Sansa last season. Kit Harrington recently confirmed that everyone's favourite mop haired bastard will be returning to HBO's ice and fire epic, but in the worst kept secret ever, this is hardly news. But back to the story at hand, there is another Stark who just HAS to return to Game of Thrones, and here is what that return could mean for Westeros.

Is 'Star Wars: Rogue One' Bringing Us A Family Rey-union?
There is something nostalgic about going back to the good ol' days of Death Stars, Grand Moff Tarkin and a time before the planet of Alderaan was a pile of space dust. Well if that is your bag, then saddle up for December's Star Wars: Rogue One. Oscar-winner Felicity jones leads a team of rebels who attempt to take on (and take down) the iconic Death Star. In the vein of last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 'here come the girls', so just who is Jyn Erso and why does she look so familiar? Could this be the fabled Rey's mother?

What If Carol And Morgan Aren't Safe On 'The Walking Dead'?
Hooray, for fans of 'Morol' (sorry, I made that up), Sunday's finale of The Walking Dead puts Carol and Morgan in pretty good stead for Season 7. Even though Carol was badly injured, when we left our dynamic duo they were being lead away to presumably meet with Ezekiel and be introduced to another colony - The Kingdom. Things didn't look quite look so good for another 11 members of the cast, who found themselves in a sticky situation at the hands of Negan and his Saviors. A rough season for both Carol and Morgan, perhaps they need a break from the drama of Wolf slaying and stick swinging...or could their drama just be getting started?

All X-Men Must Die: Maisie Williams To Join 'New Mutants'?
Valar Morghulis - all men must die, or in this case...all mutants. Director Josh Boone has reportedly found the girl to play Wolfsbane in his X-Men spin-off The New Mutants- and it's none other than Game of Thrones' Arya Stark.

The Definitive Mob Movie: 'The Godfather' Turns 43
"Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes..." Even now, we can't look at weddings, horses or toll booths in the same way and the legacy of The Godfather lives on, four decades later. The Frances Ford Coppola crime epic graced our screens on March 24, 1972 and was responsible for creating the worlds of Nucky Thompson, Tony Soprano and Frank Costello that we know today. We nod our fedoras to Vito Corleone and his orange peel mouth.

Who Remembers When Will Smith Predicted 'Batman v Superman'?
Films and shows have a strange knack for predicting the future — Family Guy predicted Caitlyn Jenner's transformation, The Simpsons predicted Trump's presidential campaign and Space Odyssey predicted that we would eventually be using tablet computers. But for one of the most WTF (What The Future) moments, let's look at this year's blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Who Else You Gonna Call? All Male Ghostbusters Is Shelved
It is a battle of the sexes and it looks like the women have come out on top. The long rumoured 'all male' revival of Ghostbusters has officially been pulled. No directors, no Tatum, and no Pratt means our dreams were melted quicker than a Stay Puft marshmallow man.

Place Your Bets: Which 'Game Of Thrones' Characters Will Die This Season?
Those crafty guys over at Online Gambling Las Vegas (apparently huge GOT experts) have put together the odds on your favorite Game Of Thrones characters not surviving the upcoming sixth season. On a show with more deaths than The Walking Dead, it is actually easier to put the odds on how your favorite will die, rather than when. The gambling website has also weighed in on the Jon Snow rumor mill of how/if Westeros' favorite bastard will be returning from the grave. As the saying goes, "All men must die."
