The First ‘Archer’ Season 7 Teaser Is A Perfect ‘Magnum P.I.’ Parody By Angie Han/Feb. 2, 2016 11:00 am EST The beauty of Archer is that you never quite know where it’s going to end up. Sterling Archer and his feckless colleagues have a way of derailing any mission they’re on, whether they’re traveling all over the globe, shooting off into outer space, plumbing the depths of the ocean, or even journeying through the inside of a man’s body....

The Official Name Of Star Wars Land Revealed? By Peter Sciretta/April 18, 2016 11:00 am EST We’ve been reporting on Disney’s Star Wars Land for years now, from the rumored development to the official announcement at D23 Expo 2015. But we still don’t know the official name for this “gateway planet located on the outer rim,” which is currently under construction in both Disneyland in Anaheim California and Hollywood Studios in Orlando Florida....

Theaters Are Fighting With Disney Over ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ By Angie Han/May 5, 2015 1:32 pm EST Avengers: Age of Ultron is littered with epic fight scenes, but some of the biggest battles involving the all-star superheroes are taking place offscreen. Theater owners are reportedly furious about the new conditions being imposed by Disney on cinemas showing the new Marvel feature. If the studio has its way, the theaters complain, ticket prices could go up for all moviegoers....

This ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Video Essay Is A Must-See For Any Naysayers Out There By Ethan Anderton/May 6, 2016 1:00 pm EST Star Wars: The Force Awakens has come and gone from theaters and it now sits in our digital libraries and on our movie shelves. But unlike some of the movies we have at our disposal, we’ll be talking about this one for a long time. Now the excitement and hype has died down over Star Wars: Episode VII and the dust has settled on Jakku, allowing us to take a closer look at the film....

Video: What Would ‘Spectre’ Look Like Starring Roger Moore Instead Of Daniel Craig? By Angie Han/Aug. 11, 2015 7:30 am EST Everyone’s got an opinion on which James Bond is the best James Bond, and for some people Roger Moore outranks the likes of Daniel Craig. For those folks, one ingenious YouTube user has cut together a version of the Spectre trailer that features Moore as 007. Watch the Roger Moore Spectre trailer after the jump....

VOTD: POV Shots Make The ‘Mad Max’ Franchise Intense By Ethan Anderton/May 29, 2015 5:00 am EST Plenty of people have been praising Mad Max: Fury Road over and over again. Every chance we get to write about the film, we’re throwing kudos to director George Miller for crafting what could very well end up being the best action movie of the year, maybe even the decade. But let’s not forget that the original Mad Max franchise was a rather impressive achievement....

There’s been talk of reviving some of the fan favorite Nicktoons in some capacity, a live-action/animated hybrid movie at Paramount and 90s programming block called The Splat coming in October....

Watch The First Full Episode Of ‘Science Vs Cinema’ Tackle Ridley Scott’s ‘The Martian’ By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 19, 2015 6:00 am EST We all know that most of what we see in motion pictures isn’t the absolute truth. Even in grounded biopics and films inspired by true stories, there are plenty of liberties taken with stories to create drama and tension, or even just to speed up the story to fit in the timeframe of a motion picture....

Will Poulter Will Create Nightmares As Pennywise In ‘It’ By Russ Fischer/May 4, 2015 1:30 pm EST The enduring image from the television adaptation of Stephen King’s novel It has been Tim Curry as Pennywise the clown. For all the failures of that mini-series, Curry’s Pennywise remains bizarre and frightening. He’s perhaps even more unsettling in still images than in motion, thanks in part to his Buster Poindexter-like approach to the character....

Zach Galifianakis, Seth Rogen And Bill Hader Team For Space Comedy ‘The Something’ By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 3, 2016 10:00 am EST It’s been awhile since there has been a straight-up comedy set in space. We’re not even going to talk about The Martian for that conversation, and Guardians of the Galaxy wasn’t just a comedy. Feel free to offer up some other options in the comments, but I believe the last genuine comedy set in space was The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy....

‘American Gods’ Trailer: The Old Gods And The New Prepare For War [Comic-Con 2016] By Jack Giroux/July 23, 2016 7:00 am EST This year, something doesn’t feel quite right with Comic-Con. That’s true for a variety of reasons, but it’s mainly because Hannibal is no longer making appearances. A room packed with the enthusiasm of a large pack of Fannibals was always a treat. Hannibal may be off the air and out of Comic-Con, but that’s not stopping Bryan Fuller from attending....

New Line Cinema, a division of Warner Bros., has secured the rights to the documentary, Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around the World directed by Dana Nachman. They’ve also picked up the narrative rights to the story, which comes with Julia Roberts attached to produce and potentially star....

‘Fish Friend’ Short Film Gives A Young Girl Her Own Hungry Pet Piranha By Russ Fischer/Feb. 26, 2015 5:00 am EST Fish Friend is a short film about the tender relationship between a young girl and her murderous pet piranha. But this isn’t (quite) a horror story. It’s more like a sweet coming of age tale set in a world that is equal parts ’50s Americana and subversive ’90s animation thrown in....

‘Rock The Kasbah’ Trailer: Bill Murray Goes To War For New Talent By Russ Fischer/Aug. 27, 2015 1:30 pm EST Thanks to the first trailer, people knew a little bit about Rock the Kasbah earlier this year. Then Bill Murray showed up to Comic Con to promote the Barry Levinson movie. After the actor walked around Hall H doing karaoke before the panel, and spent a bunch of time roaming the aisles afterwards to shake hands and pose for pics with fans, the film’s profile got a nice bump....

‘Sausage Party’ Extended TV Spot: Seth Rogen’s Hot Dog Has Never Been In A Bun Before By Ethan Anderton/July 11, 2016 8:30 am EST There’s been plenty of animated fare for kids this summer, with the likes of Finding Dory and The Secret Life of Pets hitting theaters. But towards the end of the summer, the adults get to have some raunchy animated fun on the big screen. Sausage Party is the latest film from Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, and they’re bringing their twisted sense of humor to the grocery aisle with the movie about sentient food who finally learns what happens when they get taken home....

‘The Walking Dead’ Web Series Will Put Zombies On A Plane By Russ Fischer/Aug. 28, 2015 1:00 pm EST We’ve heard over and over that the characters from The Walking Dead won’t cross over with those in spin-off/prequel show Fear the Walking Dead. But there is something happening with the timelines of the two shows, and now we have word of a new intersection between the series. A special web series will take place during the Fear timeline — that is, in the earliest days of the walker outbreak....

‘Westworld’ Trailer: Violent Delights Have Violent Ends By Ethan Anderton/June 20, 2016 6:00 am EST When production was halted on HBO’s television adaptation of the sci-fi feature Westworld, some were worried that the show was on shaky ground before it had even premiered on the cable network. Thankfully, J.J. Abrams came around to put a positive spin on the situation saying that executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy just needed more time to fine tune the final four scripts for the show’s first season....

Josh Boone’s ‘The Stand’ Is Still In Limbo As That Television Prequel Series Falls Victim To A Mysterious Plague By Jacob Hall/Feb. 19, 2016 7:30 am EST The last time we heard from director Josh Boone’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, the film was still knee-deep in development hell. So it wasn’t surprising that Boone put this gigantic passion project on the back burner to bring a smaller and more manageable King novel to the screen instead....

We’ve heard that no post-credits scene had yet been shot for Age of Ultron, and assumed that it might come about as the shawarma scene did, very late in the game....
