Summer is in full swing, so that can only mean the MTV Video Music Awards are just around the corner. Check out this year's nominees, led by the most 'humble' Kendrick Lamar.
This past weekend saw word of a possible Jersey Shore reunion coalescing, but not necessarily at MTV. Now, near of the entire cast has reunited for a new Burger King commercial, and … wait, that’s it? Come on, there has to be more.
Cultural touchstones come and go, and it seems like forever since the Jersey Shore kids were exhausting our capacity for acronyms. Most of said Shore-hounds have grown up and had their own kids by now, and might make us feel even older with an upcoming reunion special.
It was just over a month ago we learned that MTV wanted to put the Fear Factor in today’s youth with a Ludacris twist, making millennials dunk their cell phones rather than play gross-out games. Now, the first trailer for the youth-oriented revival looks a lot like the old series, because who doesn’t love beds full of maggots?
Sadly, MTV Scream fans are going to have to wait a lot longer (like, forever) to finally answer the Brandon James mystery. Season 3 has confirmed plans to reboot the premise with new showrunners, even adding Queen Latifah as a new producer.
Let’s face it; Generation Z just doesn’t scare at a bed of worms, or a platter full of yak testicles. Thankfully, MTV wants to put the Fear Factor back into today’s youth, dunking cell phones in water and the like with a revival of the gross-out game show, as hosted by Furious franchise star Ludacris.
The Scream movies had a hard enough time keeping Sidney Prescott in peril for three sequels, so might MTV’s TV adaptation already need its own reboot? That’s the word on Season 3, as Dimension TV is apparently looking to scrap the current storyline and cast.
The Scream franchise certainly lost its steam with a third film, so might the MTV series follow suit? After a super-sized Season 2, Scream is officially booked for another stab at Season 3, albeit with less episodes, and another showrunner shift. There’s always the Halloween special, whose trailer you can watch right now!
Sure, H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds got a pretty sleek update with Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise back in 2005, but that was, like … 11 years ago, man. Sexy teens are today, and they need to fight aliens too. Thankfully, MTV has the answer.
