‘21 Jump Street’ Spin-Off Brings In ‘Bob’s Burgers’ Writers By Russ Fischer/June 9, 2015 5:30 am EST There’s good news and weird news. The 21 Jump Street spin-off that Sony is developing with female lead characters just got two great new writers: sisters Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux, who have been writers (and eventually producers) on Bob’s Burgers since the show’s beginning. They’ll work on a script for the film, which is among the Sony developments that was announced in the wake of the hacking scandal that brought many of the studio’s raw ideas into the spotlight....

‘Better Things’ Trailer: Pamela Adlon And Louis C.K. Return To FX By Jacob Hall/July 20, 2016 4:00 pm EST Although Adlon is clearly (and rightfully) the start of the show, she’s backed up by Mikey Madison, Hannah Alligood, and Olivia Edward as her three daughters and Celia Imrie as her mother. And since this is FX, where fearlessness is generally rewarded, we can probably expect this show to go places that a more traditional sitcom would avoid like the plague....

‘It Follows’ Trailer: A Terrifying New Vision Of Horror By Germain Lussier/Dec. 8, 2014 7:00 am EST Maybe you’ve heard of It Follows. It’s a small horror movie by director David Robert Mitchell. His previous film, The Myth of the American Sleepover, was a memorable look at teen life, and this film is in a similar vein. Similar in that it shows how some aspects of teen life – mainly sex – can become scary....

‘Krampus’ Featurette: Don’t Forget To Bake Cookies For Krampus This Christmas By Jack Giroux/Dec. 2, 2015 4:00 pm EST It’s been over eight long years since Mike Dougherty has directed a feature film. The screenwriter, who worked on Superman Returns and X-Men 2, made a wonderful debut picture with Trick ‘r Treat. Now Dougherty’s newest film, Krampus, shares quite a bit in common with his darkly funny Halloween horror movie....

‘Microbe & Gasoline’ Clip: Michel Gondry’s Charming Tale Of Teen Friendship By Angie Han/June 28, 2016 1:30 pm EST The U.S. rollout of Microbe & Gasoline has been approaching so quietly, you’d be forgiven for not realizing Michel Gondry had a new film at all. But he does, and it’s coming to our shores this weekend, and based on the footage we’ve seen so far it looks pretty damn adorable....

‘Neighbors 3’: Zac Efron Pitches His Idea For A Sequel With Zombies By Ethan Anderton/May 22, 2016 11:00 am EST This weekend brought Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising to theaters, the sequel to the hit comedy from 2014. Usually, comedy sequels aren’t anything to write home about, but this one has a 61% on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s a good score for an R-rated comedy, especially one that’s a sequel. While there’s no indication that Universal will attempt to capture the comedic magic from Neighbors for a third time, a new video shows that Zac Efron has an idea for Neighbors 3 that involves he and Seth Rogen facing zombies....

‘Preacher’ Casts Jackie Earle Haley As Meaty Villain Odin Quincannon By Jacob Hall/Feb. 9, 2016 10:00 am EST Now, a piece of casting news has revealed just how far from the source material writer/producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin and planning to stray. Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley has joined the cast as a villainous character whose presence in the show’s first season defies the comic’s original storyline in a huge way....

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Adds Martin Starr And Logan Marshall-Green By Angie Han/June 16, 2016 2:00 pm EST Sony’s little corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is starting to fill up. Following Tuesday’s news that Donald Glover would be swinging by, Spider-Man: Homecoming has added two more supporting players. Logan Marshall-Green, best known for starring in Prometheus and for not being Tom Hardy, will join Michael Keaton on the side of evil. And Martin Starr of Silicon Valley has boarded in yet another mystery role....

‘Star Wars Rebels’ Characters Could Connect With Future ‘Star Wars’ Movies By Ethan Anderton/July 5, 2016 10:00 am EST Plenty of characters who originated in the live-action Star Wars movies have gone on to appear in animated series like The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. However, we’ve yet to see an animated character making the jump to live-action. That changes this winter when The Clone Wars supporting character Saw Gerrera gets played by Forest Whitaker in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story....

‘Transformers: The Last Knight’: Get A Look At The Sleek New Bumblebee By Ethan Anderton/June 5, 2016 9:00 am EST Production on Transformers: The Last Knight is happening right now, and as director Michael Bay has been rolling cameras on his the latest sequel in the toy-based blockbuster franchise, there have been several announcements. Josh Duhamel was revealed to return (and maybe Tyrese Gibson with him), and a couple teasers showed off the updated Optimus Prime and Megatron designs....

Cool Stuff: Tyler Stout’s ‘Alien’ Poster For Mondo By Germain Lussier/Jan. 28, 2015 7:30 pm EST Tyler Stout is one of the most popular poster artists out there today but, in 2014, he was relatively quiet. Kind of like space. Which leads us to his first poster of 2015, Ridley Scott’s Alien. The poster was revealed Wednesday night at a special screening of Alien at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin Texas and the remaining posters will go on sale Friday January 30 at a random time....

Danny Boyle Still Might Direct ‘28 Months Later’; Developing Two Period Pieces By Jack Giroux/Oct. 13, 2015 3:30 pm EST 28 Months Later will probably happen at some point. While the sequel, 28 Weeks Later, wasn’t as successful or as cheap as Danny Boyle’s (Steve Jobs) original film, it performed well enough not to kill off the series. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s sequel is also a good movie, so it’s not like audiences would have an allergic reaction to another one of these films....

Details Revealed About The Next ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Trailer By Germain Lussier/April 6, 2015 12:37 pm EST Next week, the second trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be revealed. You can read more about that here. It’ll then be in theaters with Avengers: Age of Ultron. But what, specifically, will the trailer feature? MakingStarWars has a very intriguing list of images they believe are going to appear in the trailer....

Emma Stone May Play That Vampire Bat, That Inhuman Beast Cruella De Vil For Disney By Jacob Hall/Jan. 7, 2016 7:30 am EST Last year, screenwriter Kelly Marcel was given the unenviable task of writing a live-action movie centered around Cruella de Vil, the nastiest and most inherently unlikable character in the Disney animated canon. Other baddies may have larger plots (like seizing control of entire kingdoms), but the villainess from 101 Dalmatians wants to abduct and murder puppies so she can make coats....

Kevin Smith’s ‘Mallrats 2’ Is Called ‘MallBrats’ By Germain Lussier/May 11, 2015 9:00 am EST When Brodie, TS, Gwen and maybe even Shannon Hamilton return to the big screen, there won’t be a “2” at the end of their title. Kevin Smith revealed on Twitter that the title to Mallrats 2, the sequel to his 1995 cult comedy, is MallBrats. Read more about the Mallrats 2 title below. Here’s Smith’s Tweet:...

Marvel Phase 3 International Release Dates Revealed By Germain Lussier/Nov. 5, 2014 8:30 am EST Living in the United States, it’s easy to look at our release calendar and see it as the be-all, end-all. But these days, international audiences make up far more of the audience for a film than the US release does. International box office dollars are increasingly important to studios, including Marvel Studios. For example, Guardians of the Galaxy was a big hit in the United States, but it grossed more overseas....

Netflix And Marvel Reveal First ‘The Defenders’ Teaser, Announce 2017 Release Date [Comic-Con 2016] By Jacob Hall/July 21, 2016 7:59 pm EST Who said you need something as silly as footage featuring actors and such to put together a trailer? The first teaser trailer for The Defenders was revealed at Marvel and Netflix’s Comic-Con panel earlier today, giving all of the superhero junkies in the crowd their first taste of the miniseries that will see Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage team up....

Paul Rudd Helped Adam McKay Rewrite ‘Ant-Man’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 17, 2014 3:45 pm EST When Edgar Wright left Marvel’s Ant-Man, the amount of speculation and discussion was crazy. Eventually, Peyton Reed was hired as the director after a rewrite by none other than Adam McKay. McKay, a big comic book fan, is best known for crazy comedies like Anchorman and Step Brothers, so him coming on to the film was a pretty big leap....

POTD: James Gunn’s Coffee Table Is Star-Lord’s Awesome Mix Vol. 2 By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 9, 2015 4:00 am EST Even though James Gunn has always been active on social media, the attention he’s gotten on his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages since directing Marvel’s smash hit Guardians of the Galaxy has been more than considerable. From fan Q&As to rumor responses, not a week goes by that there isn’t something worth paying attention to from Gunn....

Sam Claflin Returning For ‘The Huntsman’, Without Snow White By Angie Han/May 8, 2015 7:26 am EST Kristen Stewart’s Snow White may not be returning for The Huntsman, but it seems like everyone else is. Sam Claflin is the latest to board the fantasy spinoff, joining Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, and Nick Frost.
