Fans of the Jurassic Park franchise have had to suffer through a lot—first there was the so-so sequel (The Lost World), and then the just plain bad one (Jurassic Park III), then 15 years of nothing but rumors before solid plans for a Jurassic Park 4 became a reality with Safety Not...
We've fallen into the age where digital platforms, such as Amazon and Netflix, have turned into the new wave of go-to television. There are plenty of other companies that fit the profile that want to take part in the latest craze, but the newest one to join the ring may surprise you. What makes this news even cooler is what video game they're turning into a live-action series and who's one of...
In the first U.S. poster for Edgar Wright's The World's End, Simon Pegg raises a toast to, you guessed it, the end of the world. Along with this new one-sheet, Focus Features released another UK banner. The new posters feature Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike, and offer the new slogan, "Barmageddon...
Well, here’s the fourth trailer for Disney’s The Lone Ranger, the mega-budget film (estimated at $250 million) that cost just about as much as Disney’s John Carter film did last year, and has had nearly as many behind-the-scenes snags and production issues (it’s almost as if the universe is trying to prevent these movies from being made, and the Mickey Mouse...
It’s hard to get a read on whether or not the upcoming The Wolverine is any good after the horrendously dull disaster that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine—there are moments in the new trailer that look genuinely great or entertaining or thrilling… but that sour taste from X-Men Origins just keeps popping back up. Maybe viewing The...
Poor Ghostbusters 3. Not only is it the sequel to a classic film (and another, crappy sequel) that absolutely no fan is asking for—it’s also a film that seems permanently trapped within its own personal rung of development hell. As we’ve noted in the past, “Bill Murray was in, then he was out, then he was back in, then he was back out, then it got a new writing team,...
There hasn't been much talk recently about David Fincher's big screen interpretation of the famous novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and for good reason. The picture has been delayed once before, and will be again thanks to some more holdups with the overall production.
In director Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ new film, The Kings of Summer, three teenagers (Moises Arias, Gabriel Basso, and Nick Robinson), run away from their respective families (which include the perfectly droll Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally of Parks and Recreation, and Alison Brie of Community) to...
There are a few things happening on the Star Wars front, both concerning Episode VII and not. Rumor has it that NBC's new Dracula, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, is in talks to join the upcoming film. Also, Disney has just announced a new animated series titled Star Wars Rebel, that would premiere in the Fall of 2014.
There’s been a lot of talk about the casting of Inherent Vice, Paul Thomas Anderson’s cinematic adaptation of reclusive author Thomas Pynchon’s latest novel. So far, the auteur has managed to grab Joaquin Phoenix, Owen Wilson, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Reese Witherspoon, and Jena Malone—a rather auspicious cast thus far for a rather auspicious...
Acting as yet another placeholder in lieu of any actual footage from the film (just like the first teaser), the second teaser for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is now here, acting as a stopgap to keep us all interested until official footage is actually released. And usually, such crass advertising would be kind of annoying or obvious; here, though, it’s just quite...
Scarlett Johansson is ready to make a career change. The actress has announced her directorial debut, where she'll be tackling a work by Truman Capote. 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...
The rumor mill has been going crazy as of late. We're not entirely sure what is going on with the cast of characters for The Avengers 2 other than knowing that most of the regulars will be returning for the sequel. Now Joss Whedon has spoken up, saying that we may see a couple of new X-Men centric faces including another familiar one which many fans at this point...
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...
Just a little caveat before we start—don’t expect Christopher Nolan to direct Bond 24. With Interstellar on the horizon, it just can’t happen. OK, continue.
The long-gestating plans to turn Stephen King’s gargantuan and multi-novel The Dark Tower series into a franchise of three films and a concurrent television series have hit more than a few snags over the years—the film lost leading man Javier Bardem (who was to be replaced by Russell Crowe), and then Universal bailed on the pricey project, and then Warner Bros. rejected...
Paul Thomas Anderson has made a great number of movies that in short are magnificent. He's one of the best modern day filmmakers we have out there and the casting for his latest picture Inherent Vice should get many fans of his work excited.
Currently, people are predicting a hundred million dollar weekend for Star Trek Into Darkness, a number that may be made possible by the fact that the studio opened the film on Wednesday night. The film pocketed $3.3 Million from those shows, and has a full day today to rake in extra cash so it can say that it crossed the nine digit mark by Sunday.
2013 is looking to be a pretty epic summer of entertainment, and there's delights virtually every week. But one of our most anticipated films of the summer is Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. The latest trailer makes its case and then some, as it features great robot money shots followed by more awesome robot vs. monster fighting.
Brad Bird has firmly established himself as an inventive, exhilarating director with a flair for wild, intricate, and kinetic visuals that play like pure eye-candy with heart—from his animated works (The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and Ratatouille) to his surprisingly awesome live-action debut with Mission: Impossible Ghost...
