The long-awaited next adaptation of the Stephen King horror IT is just a few short weeks away from being released.

But there are some things to help pass the time while you await the movie’s arrival. For example, a new virtual reality cinematic experience was released this week, which sees you crossing paths with Pennywise the Dancing Clown a few times. In addition to that, if you happen to be in the Hollywood area, there’s a haunted house attraction going on right now as well.

You can learn more about that and check out the VR experience below.

Earlier this year we found out that Hulu had ordered a pilot episode for a potential series based on the Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez comic book series Locke & Key.

Now comes the first casting announcement for the series. It’s being reported that Frances O’Connor has signed onto the project. She’ll be taking on the role of Nina Locke.

This month, COMET TV, which streams free sci-fi movies and television shows, is offering a bunch of new selections in movies and TV shows, including the 1981 John Landis classic An American Werewolf in London, 1987’s Steel Dawn starring Patrick Swayze, and 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers starring Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy, along with a Blacula double-feature.

Check out the programming guide for new offerings for August 2017 here below.

Also, appropriately enough, with the solar eclipse occurring on August 21, 2017, Comet has a Guide To Eclipsing.

So far we’ve seen one of the non-numbered Star Wars spinoffs, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We also know that, despite a rocky road traveled, a movie about a young Han Solo is coming next year.

Now a new Star Wars spinoff being developed by Lucasfilm has been revealed. It’s being reported that one of the future movies will focus on Obi-Wan Kenobi.
