Sony's adaptation of the HELLDIVERS video game...Plus: Heat Vision threw its 1st ever live event for #SpartacusHouseofAshur, and there's video to prove it. view.email.hollywoodreporter.com?qs=e3a27be62...
ASHUR IS IN THE HOUSE. The new Spartacus spinoff House of Asher arrives Friday, and in preparation, you can watch Borys' lively Q&A with creator Steven S. DeKnight and star Nick E. Tarabay. They talk using intimacy coordinators this time around (remember, that wasn't really a thing when the show launched in 2010), and how they have yet to find a line they don't want to cross when it comes to sex and blood in the series. Ditto for Starz and Lionsgate TV, which produces the show. In fact, after a certain, um, dismemberment near the end of episode two, DeKnight says, "I was sure we were going to get a note about that." Instead? "Nothing." This one was near and dear to us, as it was our first ever Heat Vision Live event. Thank you to those who made it out to the London in West Hollywood, and we hope to see you at the next one. You will be entertained.

2025 HAS BEEN A GOOD YEAR TO BE A JACK KIRBY FAN. Fantastic Four: First Steps ended with a quote from the King himself, and also featured two actors playing young versions of Kirby and Stan Lee. And for one day in July, the street where Kirby grew up was unofficially renamed Jack Kirby Way as part of the promotions for the movie. Now, a group of fans is working to make that name change official. Comic book luminaries Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, Brian Michael Bendis, Paul Levitz and Marvel editor-in-chief C. B. Cebulski are among those lobbying to co-name a block of Essex St. in New York's Lower East Side after Kirby. The campaign sprang to life after comic book historian Roy Schwartz learned of previous efforts to officially honor Kirby in New York had failed. “It started a long and arduous process. Believe it or not, it's not easy to rename a street in New York City, so there was a lot of red tape,” says Schwartz, who is leading the campaign with Karen Green, the curator for comics and cartoon arts at Columbia University libraries. Schwartz's day job as a communications exec for a law firm came in handy, as his employer donated resources to the cause, pro bono. After several petitions and presentations to government bodies, it will go to a vote before the New York City Council on Dec. 18. If it passes, it will go to the mayor’s desk to sign. The street would be at Essex and Delancey, a block away from where Kirby was born on August 28, 1917. “The honors for Jack Kirby seem to be coming in late, but they're very sweet,” Miller tells Heat Vision of the artist he came up idolizing and later befriended. “He grew up very much as a Lower East Side kid, and it never left his voice or his manner, believe me.” Below, a look at the street when it was renamed for a day this summer:
