Director Juan Antonio Bayona Flees The ‘World War Z’ Sequel By Jacob Hall/Jan. 12, 2016 9:00 am EST Someone needs to write a book about the production of World War Z.

While the conversation this year seems to mostly be about the conditions surrounding the games in Rio, Brazil this year, it’s still one of the most buzzed about topics right now, and even people who don’t care about the global sporting event end up pretending to just to be part of the conversation....

VOTD: How Did ‘Cheech And Chong’s Up In Smoke’ Change The Movies? By Ethan Anderton/June 4, 2015 4:00 am EST When you think of stoner comedies, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t exactly innovation in the world of motion pictures.

‘Barbershop 3: The Next Cut’ Trailer: A Comedy That Tackles Gang Violence In Chicago By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 24, 2015 7:00 am EST Honestly, I’m a little surprised that what started as harmless comedy franchise is tackling a pretty serious issue. But as you’ll see in the first Barbershop 3 trailer, this isn’t like Spike Lee’s Chi-raq, and there is still plenty of lighthearted comedy to be had. Here’s the Barbershop 3 trailer from JoBlo:...

By Angie Han/May 8, 2015 3:30 pm EST Last month, word circulated that NBC had cancelled Constantine. As it turned out, that report was premature. Showrunner Daniel Cerone quickly clarified that no decision had been made. But that decision has now been made, and yup — Constantine has been cancelled. For real this time. However, fans shouldn’t fall into the depths of despair just yet. Cerone offers the faint hope that Constantine will get picked up by another network....

‘Nine Lives’ Trailer: Kevin Spacey Plays A Cat By Angie Han/Jan. 28, 2016 10:30 am EST Will 2016 be the year of feature-length cat videos? Last week we got the first trailer for Keanu, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele’s action comedy about two friends out to save the cutest cat ever, and today we’ve got the first trailer for Nine Lives, starring Kevin Spacey as a cat.

‘The Human Centipede 3’ Red-Band Trailer Is Here To Disgust You By Russ Fischer/April 9, 2015 11:45 am EST The Human Centipede returns, and it is still ridiculous, and still pretty disgusting. Tom Six’s latest film, which he has said “will have a lot of self-mockery and will be the most darkly comical” of the series, also looks cheaper and somehow even nastier than the rest of the films. This time the setting is a prison, where an overbearing warden (Dieter Laser, returning to the fold) literally gets prisoners in line by, well, you know the drill by now....

But star Garrett Hedlund isn’t mourning the death of the franchise, mainly because he doesn’t actually believe it’s “totally dead.” Does he have new intel, or is he just a stubborn optimist? Read the Tron 3 Garrett Hedlund comments after the jump....

(Just see the attempts to tear down Selma for a good example of the nasty part of this season.) But the guild nominations and awards are always somewhat interesting, if only because they represent the efforts of a focused group to recognize achievements by their direct fellows and colleagues....
