This week, Shazam! director David F. Sandberg livened things up with a viral video hyping up Shazam 2 with some definitely real, not at all hilariously fake Letterboxd reviews.

It sure seems like there's nothing but the Shazam! sequel on Sandberg's mind with this funny fake trailer. The director shared the video on Twitter …

David F. Sandberg is prolific, even in quarantine. The filmmaker got everyone's attention as Pony Smasher, a YouTube channel devoted to low/no budget horror shorts and thorough breakdowns of how exactly he did it.

Clearly, the man loves making horror. Which makes me excited for his next feature-length project, just announced (via …

Before he went on to make feature films like Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation, and Shazam!, David F. Sandberg got his start as "ponysmasher," an Internet filmmaking sensation who crafted low-budget thrills using prosumer products, then showed us all how he pulled it off. He recently did this again with Shadowed, a spooky horror short he made while under friggin' quarantine during coronavirus. And now, he's pulling back the curtain yet again, with Good Enough -- the making of Shadowed. And it's a must-watch for any aspiring filmmakers reading. Sandberg, alongside his muse/collaborator/wife Lotta Losten, breaks …

Seth Rogen's got a lot of interesting small screen projects going on. After his other "dark comic book adaptation" Preacher concluded at AMC, he's been keeping busy alongside longtime creative partner Evan Goldberg with Future Man on Hulu and The Boys on Amazon.

Did you see DC's big-screen Shazam! adaptation? It's pretty delightful, right? At least when, as our own Matt Goldberg pointed out, it's not being shockingly dark. How did such intense horror imagery sneak its way into a family-friendly, four-quadrant superhero flick? Because it was directed by David F. Sandberg, who broke out with horror hits like Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation before getting scooped up by DC. Now, Sandberg will be combining these two impulses -- comic books and horror -- into one Netflix package. As reported by Deadline, Sandberg will be adapting horror graphic novel …

A whole YouTube sub-genre has popped up in the past few years pointing out goofs in filmmaking. The whole idea is so that the YouTuber can show that he or she is smarter than the filmmakers and we can all have a good laugh at the expense of the expensive movie that people poured years of their lives into making.
