The final installment of the astonishingly inconsistent X-Men film franchise has traveled a long and circuitous route to its eventual premiere this Spring. Based on the 1982 X-Men spinoff comic created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, The New Mutants actually completed principle photography back in September of 2017, shortly before Deadpool 2 wrapped filming, with director Josh Boone delivering a cut of the pic that tested as well with audiences as early screenings of the first Deadpool had.
Speaking with IGN at that time, Boone explained that the movie was based largely on Bill Sienkiewicz’s run on the comic, particularly the Demon Bear story beginning with issue #18, drawing “on movies like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Stephen King stuff and even Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” for the film’s aesthetic, with the first trailer also borrowing from Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal 1960 horror movie Psycho.

Even though many enduring elements that we now associate with Superman were products of the Silver Age or the 1940’s radio drama, it’s important that we never forget the contributions that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster made to comic books – and pop culture as a whole – when they created the Man of Steel for Action Comics #1 back in 1938. After all, that served as the very blueprint for the superhero genre as we know it today.
With that, one could say that the character’s 80th anniversary being celebrated by the release of the one-thousandth issue of Action is a bit too poetic. And appropriately enough, DC is complementing the periodical release of said issue with a commemorative hardcover titled Action Comics #1000: 80 Years of Superman. Suffice it to say, this is shaping up to be a must-own for any fan of Big Blue.
Understandably, many of you reading this...

Although he's on horror fans' radars right now for his in-the-works film adaptations of Stephen King's The Stand, Revival, and King and Peter Straub's The Talisman (as well as a TV series adaptation of Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show), filmmaker Josh Boone's next big screen story comes from the land of Marvel Comics, and although it features future superheroes, the poster for the movie (much like its trailer) promises strong ties to horror.
You can check out the new poster below, which was unveiled on the film's official Facebook page (with the caption "the only thing you have to fear... is yourself") and pays tribute to A Nightmare on Elm Street with the imagery of faces coming through the wall.
In a previous interview with EW, Boone said that The New Mutants movie will be "a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe.

There’s Something New to Fear.
Celebrate Friday the 13th with the official trailer for The New Mutants.
The New Mutants are a group of teenaged mutant superheroes-in-training appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They have been the main characters of three successive comic book series, which were spin-offs of the X-Men franchise.
The first team of New Mutants characters was created by Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod. They first appeared in 1982’s Marvel Graphic Novel #4 and are subsequently featured in their own title from 1983 until 1991. Like its parent title, The New Mutants highlighted interpersonal and group conflict as well as action and adventure, and featured a large ensemble cast. With the end of the first series, the characters were relaunched as X-Force in a new, eponymous series.
The second New Mutants series, launched in 2003, featured a new group of teenage mutants. Unlike the original New Mutants,...

The next era of the X-Men are here (well, cinematically that is) with director Josh Boone's New Mutants.

We live in a time when each day we are both blessed and cursed by instant feedback and judgment on everything we do. We’re hammered by harsh evaluations of our work and even our future-plans. Professional sports are dissected during postgame broadcasts and call-in shows. Feedback based on casting details or plot rumors now begins long before any creative project is released. In the comic industry, fans render judgments based on teased details long before anyone reads a single page.

It’s one of those movie projects that always seems to be wistfully mentioned, without any real progress ever being seen – but writer-director Josh Boone has now given an update on his New Mutants movie, and it seems that the whole thing is about to crank into high-gear. The film is based around the New Mutants story arc, which is spun off from the X-Men comic book series – with the team first appearing in 1982, in Marvel Graphic Novel #4, created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod.
The premise is that the characters in the story are mutant superheroes in training, and are variously mentored by Magneto, Professor X and Cable. The original team, in the source material, consisted of Sunspot (who appeared in X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and draws superhuman strength from the sun), Karma (who can mentally possess others), Cannonball (who becomes invulnerable when flying through the air), Mirage...
