During Comic-Con@Home 2021, Bob’s Burgers’ creator, executive producer, and cast shared details on the show’s upcoming 12th season and the Bob’s Burgers movie, the latter of which is set to be a “musical, comedy, mystery, adventure, and kind of coming-of-age-story.”

Bob’s Burgers’ creator and executive producer Loren Bouchard led the panel and gave some updates on Season 12, which will debut later this fall. Alongside confirming some returning and new guests like Stephanie Beatriz, Zach Galifianakis, Ashley Nicole Black, Tim Meadows, and Ron Funchess, Bouchard also shared names of some of the upcoming season’s episodes.

These include Crystal Mess, The Pumpkining, Driving Big Dummy, Seventween Again, Beach Please, Stuck in the Kitchen With You, Gene’s Christmas Break, Lost in Bedslation, FOMO You Didn’t, Touch of Evaluations, Video Killed the Genio Star, Frigate Me Not, and Ferry on my Wayward Bob and Linda.

Bouchard and executive producer Nora Smith also confirmed that the season will have a two-parter episode at the end, and it will “break some rules” of the show. The episode will also mostly take place in Tina’s erotic fiction where she is exploring a Blade Runner romantic/dark fantasy.

As for the movie, Bouchard still isn’t ready to give out a release date, but he did confirm it will be released in theaters and will be, as previously mentioned, a “musical, comedy, mystery, adventure, and kind of coming-of-age-story.” There will also be a short titled “My Butt has a Fever,” that Bouchard hopes can be released in theaters.

Bob’s Burgers: The Movie was originally set to be released in July 2020. Many were concerned about the fate of this movie following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, but all looks to be well in this world of burgers.

Army of Thieves: Netflix Unveils First Teaser and New Poster for the Army of the Dead Heist Prequel – Comic-Con 2021

Two months after the massive launch of Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, Netflix is preparing to reenter its zombie-infested world with the prequel film Army of Thieves. During the production’s panel at Comic-Con at Home 2021, Army of the Dead breakout star Matthias Schweighöfer unveiled the first teaser for his upcoming prequel, which is set to release this fall.

The teaser features almost no zombies apart from a brief glimpse seen in a news broadcast. The film will feature a heist-heavy narrative set in Europe, away from the undead uprising in the United States. The teaser features Schweighöfer, reprising his Army of the Dead role as the safecracker Dieter, as his character is recruited by Gwendolyn (Fast and Furious star Nathalie Emmanuel) to pull off a series of heists across Europe.

Moderated by Preston Elliot and Steve Morrison, the panel included producers Zack and Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller, as well as stars Schweighöfer and Emmanuel. Schweighöfer also served as director on the film. The group discussed how the project came together during the making of Army of the Dead.

“We liked the idea that it was set at a time when zombies existed in the world, but it’s not a zombie film,” Deborah Snyder explained. “This is more of a romantic comedy heist film than anything else, [but it] happens to live in this world where zombies are in the United States. Banking systems [have] some instability, so it’s having people move money around.”

Netflix shared a new poster for Army of Thieves on Twitter after the panel’s conclusion.

The panel also announced Army of The Dead: Viva Las Vengeance, a VR experience that will tour across several major cities. Viva Las Vengeance will allow players to immerse themselves as members of a rescue team searching for survivors in a zombie-ridden Las Vegas. Tickets are currently up for purchase on the event’s website, with available dates as soon as this Thursday, July 29, in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas. The website also promises that the experience will come to other major cities across the United States and Europe.

In our Army of the Dead review, IGN gave the film a 6, saying that it “ends up bogged down by its own self-importance” while highlighting Schweighöfer’s performance, saying that “any time (Omari Hardwick’s) Vanderhoe and safecracker Dieter are together, hilarity ensues.”

Red Dead Online is Being Taken Over By Horses

Red Dead Online’s latest update titled Blood Money appears to have added an unexpected glitch into the game – rogue horses that are either endlessly running around while causing chaos or showing up dead in random parts of the game’s world.

As reported by Kotaku, the Blood Money update is just a smaller one that adds new multi-stage robbery missions and a fresh Outlaw pass to level up, but players soon began noticing these aforementioned horses acting quite strangely. What even stranger is that these horses appear to be player-owned since many of them are sporting nice saddles and accessories.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/07/07/red-dead-online-blood-money-trailer”]

Some players are even reporting that they have found clones of their own horses out in the middle of RDO’s map. In another instance, one horse saved a player who looked very much like Fat Albert from rolling down a hill to his death.

Why is this happening? Some theories point to a bug involving the in-game stables. When you enter a stable, you can sometimes see your horse running out of it during a cutscene. Other theorists claim it could have something to do when players leave their horses unattended when they are disconnected.

Either way, these renegade horses will most likely soon be patched out of RDO, but their mark on the game’s world will live on forever.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”slug=red-dead-online-glitch-screenshots&captions=true”]

With a game as big as Red Dead Online, glitches are bound to happen. In 2019, we spoke to a group of players who were trying to test the limits of the game and work their way into entirely new regions of RDO. Video games are wonderful, aren’t they?

Doctor Who Reveals Season 13 Footage, Adds Game Of Thrones Star At Comic-Con

Doctor Who is coming back later this year for Season 13, with Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor at the helm once again and if the trailer for the upcoming episodes shown during Comic-Con 2021 is any indication, this season is going to be massive and action-packed. It’ll also see a couple of new faces–including one you will surely recognize.

Game of Thrones star Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) is joining the series for Season 13 and couldn’t be any more excited. “This is like a dream,” he said during the panel. This is like a real childhood dream to be a part of Doctor Who and even more so to be in Doctor Who with Jodie.” The two previously worked together on the first season of Broadchurch, alongside that show’s creator–and current Doctor Who showrunner–Chris Chibnall.

Also joining the cast is comedian John Bishop, who took part in the panel. He plays Dan Lewis, the newest addition to the Doctor’s TARDIS crew and will be traveling with the Doctor and her companion Yaz (Mandip Gill) throughout space and time.

As for the trailer, the quick look at the new season hinted at quite a bit of what will be seen in the new season. Expect lots of danger, plenty of silliness, and some seriously bizarre-looking settings when Doctor Who returns. For now, though, you can check out the trailer above.

While a premiere date was not given, Doctor Who will return later in 2021.

Shudder’s Creepshow Season 3 Gets First Clips And September 23 Release Date

The first footage from Creepshow Season 3 has been revealed. Two clips from the next season of Shudder’s anthology horror show were shown during Comic-Con@Home‘s Creepshow panel.

The panel featured showrunner Greg Nicotero, writer Mattie Do, director Rusty Cundieff, and actors Michael Rooker and James Remar. The first clip is taken from Do’s story, which is titled “Drug Traffic,” and stars Rooker as a cop investigating a strange series of killings, and you can see that below at the 14-minute mark. The second clip is from the story titled “Queen Bee,” which focuses on a pop star who is possessed by aliens–you can check that out at 31 minutes.

Nicotero confirmed that Creepshow Season 3 will premiere on Shudder on September 23 and will consist of 12 stories across six episodes. The other stories include “Mums,” directed by Cundieff and adapted by Nicotero from Joe Hill’s short story, “Meter Reader,” which Nicotero said will reference The Exorcist, and “The Last Subaraya,” about an art dealer who unleashes a demonic presence from a rare painting.

Creepshow Season 3 follows soon after Season 2, which hit Shudder in April. There was also an animated Creepshow Halloween special last year and a special Holiday episode.

Creepshow wasn’t the only upcoming Shudder release to get a Comic-Con@Home panel this weekend. The first clip from V/H/S/94, the latest part in the popular found footage anthology series, was released on Friday. The film is set to arrive in the Fall.

Netflix Gives First Look at Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles – Comic-Con 2021

At Comic-Com@Home 2021, Netflix and Gaumont Animation gave fans a first look at Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles, a new series that is based on Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo comic.

As reported by Polygon, Usagi Yojimbo starred Miyamoto Usagi, an anthropomorphic rabbit who was inspired by the real life legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may be familiar with Miyamoto Usagi as he has crossed over into the turtle’s universe multiple times.

Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles, on the other hand, stars the teenage Rabbit Samurai Yuichi Usagi, a descendent of the great warrior Miyamoto Usagi, and takes place in a far future in a world that mixes modern high-tech images with classic Japanese references.

“[Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles] follows the teenage Rabbit Samurai Yuichi, descendent of the great warrior Miyamoto Usagi, on his epic quest to become a true samurai,” The official description reads. “But he isn’t alone! He leads a ragtag team of misfit heroes – including a roguish bounty hunter, a cunning ninja, an acrobatic pickpocket and a faithful pet lizard – as he battles depth-charging moles, metal-tipped winged bats, and monsters from another dimension, all in the pursuit to become the best samurai Usagi!”

Many of the characters Yuichi befriends during the show are also descendants of classic heroes from Usagi Yojimbo, including the brash rhino bounty hunter Gen, fun loving fox thief Kitsune, and serious cat ninja Chizo.

Aquaman and Furious 7’s James Wan is serving as executive producer for the show, and he was an avid fan of the comic growing up.

Sakai himself has been very protective of this comic, which he considers his life’s work, and the crossovers with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were more of a “testament to Sakai’s personal friendship with the Turtles’ creators, Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman.”

Sakai was involved with every step of the show, and above all he wanted something that was action packed, well crafted, and respectful to Japanese culture.

Samurai Rabbit’s showrunners Doug and Candie Langdale want to craft a show that appealed to those kids who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s watching shows like TMNT. The show will also honor its comic history, as flashbacks will be rendered in traditional 2D animation while the main show will be in 3D.

Robotech Getting Digital HD Remaster, Streaming On Funimation Later This Year

During the Robotech: The New Beginning panel at Comic-Con 2021, fans of the giant mech series had something to celebrate. The series is getting an HD release this September, and later this year, it will be available to stream on Funimation.

The collector’s edition of Robotech is a new 1080p HD transfer featuring 5.1 Dolby digital surround sound and exclusive collectibles and deluxe packaging. Details about what collectibles are included and what the packaging looks like are unknown at the time of this writing. This collector’s edition will be available to own on Blu-ray and digital on September 28.

Additionally, the HD remaster will also be coming to Funimation. A specific release date was not revealed, but it will be arriving this fall. After the announcement, the panel showed a video of a tour of the Harmony Gold USA vaults–the production company behind the series–where the masters of Robotech are displayed. You can take a look at that below.

You can get an insider look at cases holding the originals of Macross, Southerncross, and Mospeada, along with the original 16mm film reels of the series. These are what Harmony Gold used for the remasters for the upcoming HD release.

Robotech originally aired in 1985 in the United States, and is an adaptation of the three anime from Japan that were previously mentioned. These three series are completely unrelated to each other, from three different fictional universes. The show is about pilots inside gigantic robotic machines–mecha–who are fighting off invaders from far-off worlds.

The American adaptation/amalgamation of the three Japanese series originally aired in syndication in the US, during the Saturday morning cartoon boom, and in later years, it found a new audience when the series aired on Cartoon Network and Sci-Fi Channel.

Netflix’s Army Of The Dead Prequel Army Of Thieves Gets Its First Teaser Trailer

Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead has plenty on the way, between an animated spin-off show, a VR experience, and a prequel film called Army of Thieves which focuses on the safe-cracking specialist Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer). The movie had its very own Comic-Con 2021 panel to tease details of the film, which concluded with a first look teaser trailer.

Take a look at the teaser now.

The movie will focus on Dieter being enlisted by a woman named Gwendoline (Nathanie Emmanuel) who has been “watching him” with great interest and gives him an opportunity to live a life a little less ordinary. Using the chaos of the zombie outbreak currently happening in the United States as a distraction, Gwendoline plans on using Dieter’s specialized skill set to crack a list of impenetrable safes all throughout Europe.

During the panel, executive producers Zack and Deborah Snyder explained this is a love story between Gwendoline and Dieter, which we will see evolve over the course of the movie. They also emphasized the unique experience of being able to make a prequel movie that is a completely different genre from the first movie, calling Army of Thieves more like The Italian Job than a zombie thriller.

Schweighöfer is directing the movie, which was written by Army of the Dead co-writer Shay Hatten. It will hit Netflix in late 2021.

Chucky TV Show Trailer Debuts At Comic-Con

When the upcoming Chucky TV series debuts on Syfy and USA, it will bring a number of important characters from the movie franchise back into the fold, with Child’s Play 2’s Christine Elise (Kyle) and Alex Vincent (Andy) returning in the latest chapter of this saga. Now, after a Chucky retrospective panel at Comic-Con 2021, we have a bit better idea of what to expect from the show–and have seen a brand-new trailer.

In the trailer, a teenager named Jake (Zackary Arthur) winds up with a Good Guy doll that, you guessed it, is possessed by the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray. Chucky’s back, and this time, he’s wreaking havoc on a teenager who already feels isolated from the world. Based on what’s seen in the trailer, Chucky wastes no time in getting back to his murderous ways. You can take a look at it below.

More than the trailer, though, the entire 14-minute panel was stuffed with new footage from the TV show, revealing quite a bit. Chucky picks up after the events of the 2017 movie Curse of Chucky, where Nica (Fiona Dourif), possessed by Chucky, escaped a mental hospital with Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly). Check out the full panel at the end of this story.

The panel also made it clear that this Chucky is a lot more reminiscent of the older installments of the franchise, with the demonic doll seemingly going on a killing spree of young people all over town. And, yes, Brad Dourif once again returns to voice Chucky. Dourif has been the voice behind the doll for every Child’s Play movie, save for the 2019 reboot, in which Mark Hammill took over.

Child’s Play premieres October 12 on USA and Syfy.
