Evil Looms for Elves and Dwarves Alike in New The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Trailer: Watch
Why have regular rings when you can have rings of power? That’s not exactly what the highly anticipated Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is about… except maybe it is? What matters is that as the calendar brings us closer and closer to the show’s September premiere date, we’ve gotten another taste of the show with the release of a new trailer. In this new trailer, the denizens of Middle Earth talk some big talk about how they thought war was behind them… which, as we quickly discover, isn’t the case, because “Evil does not sleep — it waits.” Magical swords, a balrog, and some big talk about a guy named Sauron all tease the epic fantasy adventure to come. The Rings of Power was first revealed as a possibility in 2017 when Amazon acquired the television rights to J...
Sex and Explosions Ignite The Boys Season 3 Teaser Trailer: Watch
Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys adds some edgy flair to the good versus evil core of superhero stories, and Season 3 of the satire is set to lean into this craziness. Check out the first teaser trailer for the upcoming season below. Set to a new song by Imagine Dragons called “Bones,” the first look at The Boys Season 3 puts action over words. Without a hint of dialogue, we see The Boys and The Seven engage in a lot of sex, a lot of explosions, and a lot of … barfing? Despite all the chaos between the vigilantes and Vought International, however, it all comes down to Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher and his enemy, Antony Starr’s Homelander, who flashes that unnerving grin. For those who need a refresher, Season 2 of The Boys ended with the defeat of neo-Nazi superhero Stormfron...
Amazon Casts Walton Goggins in Fallout TV Series
The Vault just opened a little wider, as Prime Video’s forthcoming Fallout television series has found its lead actor in Walton Goggins. While the streaming giant has yet to reveal what role Goggins will play in the video game adaptation, production on the series is set to begin later this year, Variety reported on Friday (February 18th).

According to Variety, Goggins will play a character based on the game’s ghouls, or humans who have become immune to nuclear fallout following extensive exposure to radiation. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers and co-showrunner...

Laser Baby Causes Mayhem in Trailer for The Boys Animated Series Diabolical: Watch
