After the virus unleashed at the end of Rise of the Planet of the Apes wipes out most of humanity, the survivors are on the brink of war with Caesar and his even more evolved apes in next summer’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

The Ninja Turtles have been cast, bad news for Dredd fans, the first look at the new Zombieland cast and much more in this week’s News Shotgun.

This week’s episode of the Everything Actioncast features Zach, Chris and Joe talking about Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Muppets, 2nd tier Stallone movies, news about some big Zombie franchises and a possible new Batman vehicle? All this and more on this week’s podcast.
