Watch The First Trailer For AMC’s ‘Preacher’ And Hope God Doesn’t Strike You Dead By Jacob Hall/Nov. 1, 2015 7:31 pm EST Preacher has been battling to reach the screen in some form since the late ’90s, when Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s controversial, critically praised comic series was still a new kid on the block. Now, years after Kevin Smith and Sam Mendes and Mark Steven Johnson tried and failed to produce big screen and small screen versions, the infamous series is finally arriving as a show on AMC....

In addition, she told us that “he liked it.” But now we finally have word from the man himself, kinda....

By Angie Han/Oct. 31, 2014 8:32 am EST Earlier this week, Marvel Studios released an extended Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer that opens with a get-together at the Avengers Tower. All our heroes are there – Tony, Steve, Thor, Bruce, Clint, Natasha, Maria, Rhodey. But if you were watching closely, you might have noticed one more party guest who can’t be easily identified....

‘Cinderella’ International Trailer: Disney Cloaks An Old Tale In Newfangled CG By Angie Han/Dec. 16, 2014 9:30 am EST It seems kind of appropriate that Cinderella should be getting a makeover, since the story itself hinges on a makeover. Disney is the fairy godmother in this case, wielding magic instead of CG and turning Cinderella from a 60-year-old animated feature into a brand-new live-action fantasy. Of course, in Cinderella’s case the transformation undeniably changes her life for the better....

‘Dallas Buyers Club’ Director In Talks To Direct Amy Adams In Janis Joplin Biopic By Russ Fischer/Nov. 21, 2014 3:30 pm EST Dallas Buyer’s Club was a big film at the end of 2013. This year, Wild, the new film from its director Jean-Marc Vallee, is said to be a powerful movie as well, thanks in part to a great performance from Reese Witherspoon. Now Vallee is setting up to make a new film, and this one will potentially combine major factors from his last two movies: it’ll be a story based in truth, anchored by a significant female performance....

‘Far From The Madding Crowd’ Trailer: Carey Mulligan Leads A Lush Thomas Hardy Adaptation By Russ Fischer/Nov. 24, 2014 10:30 am EST

‘Life, Animated’ Is An Emotional Film About The True Power Of Cinema [Sundance Review] By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 27, 2016 9:00 am EST Life, Animated is a joyful film about the true power of cinema. Movies are not disposable entertainment but stories that have the power to inspire and dramatically change our lives. Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Roger Ross Williams tells the story of an autistic boy named Owen Suskind who re-learned language and found understanding through Disney animated movies....

‘Mothers And Daughters’ Trailer Promises A Big Love Letter To Moms By Jack Giroux/April 7, 2016 4:30 pm EST Susan Sarandon is starring in not one but two movies about mothers and daughters this spring. Since The Meddler is about more than just being a mom — and because we don’t see enough movies about being a mom – getting two of them the same time of year, both starring Sarandon, isn’t such a bad thing....

‘Seventh Son’ Trailer Reminds You This Movie Still Exists, Still Hasn’t Come Out By Angie Han/Nov. 17, 2014 4:30 pm EST It’s been four year since we first reported on Seventh Son (then called The Last Apprentice), three years since the film went into production, and two years since its originally scheduled release date. But the movie somehow still hasn’t hit theaters, so today we have a new Seventh Son trailer to share with you....

‘Terminator’ Sequels On Hold Indefinitely Despite Worldwide Box Office Success By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 1, 2015 11:30 am EST Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger has touted the iconic line “I’ll be back” in the Terminator franchise over and over again, it turns out that might not end up being true after this latest round of the sci-fi film series. This past summer, Terminator: Genisys didn’t do so hot at the domestic box office, and the future of the series was uncertain....

‘The Intern’ Trailer: Anne Hathaway And Robert De Niro Need Each Other By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 3, 2015 6:30 am EST In what could have easily been a silly comedy about age difference and being old in a modern world, Nancy Meyers’ latest effort The Intern actually looks like a surprising, charming and even touching tale of friendship when two people need it most. A new trailer for The Intern has just popped up giving us a new look at the film which sees Robert De Niro playing a retired 70-year old widower trying to fill a hole in his life....

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Will Feature A Big Mystique And Magneto Relationship By Russ Fischer/Nov. 12, 2014 11:00 am EST So the issue isn’t so much the romance — the X-Men stories are essentially super-powered soap operas and romantic entanglements have always been a big part of the comics and films — but what else might be sacrificed in order to keep Lawrence and Michael Fassbender as prominent players. As for the rest of Apocalypse, we know the character who goes by the same name will make an appearance, and that the film will explore the earliest human mutants....

Charlie Kaufman And Steve Carell Team For ‘IQ 83’ By Angie Han/Oct. 23, 2014 7:32 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Kaufman is set to do a page one rewrite of IQ 83, an adaptation of Arthur Herzog’s 1978 sci-fi novel. Steve Carell, who was supposed to star in Frank or Francis, is set to lead. In typical Kaufman style, it all sounds rather bizarre....

Charlie Sheen To Reprise ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ Role For ABC’s ‘The Goldbergs’ By Angie Han/Dec. 18, 2014 6:36 am EST Charlie Sheen is about to have another run-in with the law. Not in real life (not that we know of at least, but who ever knows with this guy), but on the ABC series The Goldbergs. The actor is set to reprise his small but memorable role from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as “Boy in the Police Station” for an upcoming episode which will pay homage to the John Hughes classic....

First Look At Unofficial ‘Dredd’ Spinoff Web Series ‘Superfiend’ [Updated With Video] By Russ Fischer/Oct. 21, 2014 2:00 pm EST We’ve got some more info on the “bootleg” Dredd spin-off web series, and it turns out to be not quite what you were expecting. Producer Adi Shankar helped make Dredd, and he has also been behind the creation of a couple unofficial short films featuring Marvel comics characters such as the Punisher and Venom....

How Accurate Are ‘Spotlight’ And Other “Based On A True Story” Movies? By Ethan Anderton/March 1, 2016 5:00 am EST When you head to the movie theater, and a title card tells you that it’s “based on a true story” before the movie starts, you’re right to be skeptical about how much you’re seeing actually happened. Plenty of movies aim to tell the story of something that really happened, but embellish certain moments, combine multiple people into a single character, or just create scenarios that never took place....

J.K. Simmons Talks ‘Justice League,’ Expects To Play Commissioner Gordon In More Movies By Jacob Hall/April 26, 2016 10:00 am EST Although I didn’t care for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I’m approaching Zack Snyder’s upcoming Justice League movie with a clean slate. Mistakes were made for sure, but I know that Snyder is capable of making superhero movies that I can whole-heartedly embrace. I still like Man of Steel, after all....
