Ever since the world got a taste of David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints, he's become a director to watch. Many have compared his debut feature to Terrence Malick's work, and he's even landed a writing job at Disney. IFC is releasing his film in August, so it was about time that we got an official trailer, which you can see below. Also, some wonderful human being decided to put...
Earlier this month, we reported to you that Mission: Impossible 5 not only has an official writer (Iron Man III co-writer Drew Pearce), but it was set to begin filming at the end of 2013, after Tom Cruise wrapped shooting on the film version of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Well, Mission: Impossible 5 might get a slightly earlier start, as...
So, this is an interesting day in the world of comic book films: Bryan Singer, who is currently directing X-Men: Days of Future Past (the film the bridges the gap between the original X-Men film trilogy and X-Men First Class via some time travel/parallel universes), tweeted that he has added Evan Peters (American Horror...
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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.
