Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

Charlize Theron Turned Down Hippolyta in Wonder Woman

Supposedly, Theron was offered the role and turned it down (seemingly out of a bit of offense that she would be Wonder Woman's mom as opposed to Wonder Woman). Frankly, I think it's for the best. She's a great actress that could do wonders (pun intended) in a lot of roles, but I don't think either of those would have been a good fit for her.

Connie Nielsen did the role justice. She's not an unknown, but she's not as recognizable of a face as Theron, and it would have been a bit distracting seeing Theron in the role.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Teaser

Yeaaaah....no.....

Black Mirror Season 5 Trailer
Black Mirror can pretty much do no wrong at this point, after so many episodes. I have no idea what's going on with these teasers, and I don't want to know. Just hook me up.

Batman: Hush Trailer

I'm down with just the name Batman in the trailer, let alone that it's Hush. The trailer didn't wow me, but there was nothing that kept me from still being excited.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Reboot

Why? Just because it's a named entity from the time frame people my age were kids? There's no need for this.

Chris Rock Rebooting Saw

Why? Wasn't there enough of these movies? Is it really that hard to think of a new series than to just slap the Saw logo on it and hope people see it?
