Also, IFC released a neat illustrated poster for David Lowery's Sundance hit Ain't Them Bodies Saints. We also got our sticky little hands on Tobias Funke's sizzling audition reel, plus Netflix released 12 new photos for the upcoming...
We’ve previously reported to you that Marvel is planning on bringing the African superhero Black Panther into the Marvel Cinematic Universe; elsewhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’ve noted that even Jeremy Renner thought his role in The Avengers sucked. What do these two things have to do with one another? Well, they...
The Equalizer just got a little more interesting. Chloe Moretz, one of today's most talented young actresses, has landed the female lead role in the Denzel Washington film. Also, AMC released the first official photo for the fourth season of The Walking Dead; and the characters from Monsters University have a special message for moms everywhere. All that and more...
Because Joss Whedon has cautiously let the entire world know that X-Men and sometimes Avengers comic book characters Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be appearing in The Avengers 2 (rather, they’re in the current draft, at least), it’s now time to let the rampant speculation begin as to who will take the role of the two new Avengers—because simply waiting to find out when the...
Following The Avengers’ success as one of the highest-grossing films in human history, Iron Man 3’s opening day ticket sales being the second-highest, well, ever, and the varying (but still solid) success of the Thor, Captain America, and other Iron Man films, Marvel Studios can pretty much write their own ticket at this...

It's amazing just how many casting changes have occurred on Natalie Portman's upcoming Western Jane Got A Gun. The actress has been with the project since the very beginning, both as producer and star, but her co-stars never seem to last. The latest actor to join the film is Portman's former Star Wars co-star Ewan McGregor; he's stepping in for Bradley Cooper, who left the...
Following the strong success of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, it was always highly likely that we were going to get a Mission: Impossible 5. However, since a solid chunk of the Ghost Protocol was given over to introducing and establishing Jeremy Renner’s character (basically all the parts that weren’t completely awesome) in order for Renner to take over...
It’s been a long and winding road thus far for The Crow reboot—in an effort to remake the 1994 original film, the production team has gone through several potential leading men over the past three years in an effort to cast someone, anyone as Eric Draven, the murdered man who is brought back for vengeance by a mystical crow. First, in 2010, Mark Wahlberg was improbably in...
Warner Bros. released the final poster for this summer's Man of Steel, and it's quite different from all of the others we've seen. In the last and latest one sheet, Henry Cavill gets his closeup as his superman is seen flying fast over Metropolis. You check out the poster below. Also, the first trailer for Kristen Wiig's comedy Girl Most Likely hit the web...
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar keeps slowly but surely moving right along, as news broke earlier this week that Jessica Chastain would be joining Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway (who previously starred as Selina Kyle in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises) as a member of the cast.

Interesting news coming from the Fantastic Four reboot today—casting news broke earlier this week that Girls star Allison Williams may be in talks to portray Sue Storm (a.k.a., the lady who is invisible); now, word is that Chronicle star Michael B. Jordan is in talks and contention to play...
Just over three years ago, it was reported that Seth Grahame-Smith’s mash-up novel Pride & Prejudice & Zombies was going to receive the film adaptation treatment. And, as Cinema Blend notes, three years, several directors (David O. Russell, Craig Gillespie, and Mike White) and leading ladies (Natalie Portman, Blake...
Last month, we reported to you that the Black Panther—a long-rumored addition to Phase Three (translation: everything after Avengers 2) of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe—had finally been cast, with actor Morris Chestnut tweeting that he’d be the man for the black tights. But then Chestnut backed out, and word is that 42 star Chadwick Boseman may be the...
The Will Gluck-directed, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Jay-Z-produced reboot of Annie may have just cast the second-largest role in the film (Beasts of the Southern Wild star Quvuenzhane Wallis will portray the titular orphan), as Jamie Foxx is now in talks to take the Daddy Warbucks...

Also, Fox came out this week and announced that they would be making a sequel to 2004's Dodgeball. Both Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller will be reprising their roles. We've also got a...
One of the biggest head-scratchers of Marvel’s upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series spin-off of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was how Joss Whedon and company would manage to explain the return of Clark Gregg’s agent Coulson, as circumstances in The Avengers would seem to preclude his involvement. Just a heads-up, big spoilers ahead.
Big news for fans of the X-Men graphic novels and film franchise—director Bryan Singer, who is currently at work on X-Men: Days of Future Past (the film that will bridge the original film series to the new X-Men: First Class continuity via time travel and alternate timelines), has announced the addition of a few classic X-Men characters...
The cast of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is still coming together, and the producers have once again managed to surprise us with their choice. British actress Ophelia Lovibond has been cast to play a character that appears to be closely tied with The Collector (possibly his aide). She'll be joining Michael Rooker, Dave Bautista, Chris Pratt, and Zoe Saldana.
The prospective remake of 1994’s The Crow (itself an adaptation of the 1989 graphic novel by James O’Barr) has certainly gone through a number of leading man iterations over the past three years—in 2010, it was reported that Mark Wahlberg was in talks to star as the undead hero of the story, and then news broke that he wasn’t. In 2011, it was Bradley...
