‘23 Jump Street’ Will Make Those Fake Sequels Canon By Angie Han/April 6, 2015 5:00 pm EST But when 22 Jump Street made enough to earn a real 23 Jump Street, there was no real reason to believe the franchise would stick with the “plan” laid out in the 22 end credits. And it isn’t — because Phil Lord and Chris Miller have found a different way to incorporate all of those sequels....
‘American Honey’ Trailer: Director Andrea Arnold Explores America By Jack Giroux/June 21, 2016 5:45 am EST Andrea Arnold’s (Red Road) first U.S.-set film, American Honey, made quite an impression at the Cannes Film Festival last month. The drama won the Jury Prize and, although it somewhat divided critics, it provoked a variety of passionate reactions. Some called American Honey superficial, others proclaimed the film an achievement. Whatever the quality of the movie is, it’s directed by Andrea Arnold, meaning it’ll be, at the very least, an experience....

‘Ghostbuster’ Image: Rock Out With Your Proton Packs Out By Angie Han/March 29, 2016 11:00 am EST The new Ghostbusters movie has damn big shoes to fill. Ivan Reitman’s 1984 is a stone-cold classic that millions of Gen Xers and Millennials around the world have grown up with, and Ghostbusters II is remembered with great affection even if it’s not quite up to par. It’s hard to imagine anyone else quite replacing the original foursome, which may be why director Paul Feig isn’t really trying....
‘Legend’ Trailer: Tom Hardy And Tom Hardy Lead ’60s Gangster Tale By Angie Han/April 30, 2015 6:07 am EST Tom Hardy is all over the place this year. There’s so much of him to go around, in fact, that we’re actually getting two of him in one movie. Legend stars Hardy and Hardy again as Reginald and Ronald Kray, real-life twin gangsters who ruled London in the 1960s. It’s the latest film from writer-director Brian Helgeland, who won an Oscar in 1998 for exploring similarly dark, stylish territory with the script for L....

Most recently, her novel The Price of Salt was turned into the remarkable drama Carol, but adaptations of her writing go all the way back to 1951’s Strangers on a Train....
‘The Legend Of Conan’ Aims To Carry Forward The Tone Of The 1982 Original By Russ Fischer/May 25, 2015 5:00 pm EST One of the big promises in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s revived career as an actor has been the idea that he would reprise the role of Conan the Barbarian. It’s one of the gigs that cemented him as an action star, and the 1982 film co-written (with Oliver Stone) and directed by John Milius is hailed as among the best adaptations of pulp novels ever committed to film....

Here’s The Real Reason It Took Marvel So Long To Put Out A Dancing Groot Toy By Angie Han/Nov. 14, 2014 7:00 am EST Guardians of the Galaxy fans were thrilled when Marvel finally announced in October that a dancing baby Groot toy would be out in time for Christmas. At the same time, though, it was hard not to wonder why it had taken Marvel/Disney so damn long. Wouldn’t the obvious move have been to have the merch ready so audiences could fork over their money the minute they walked out of the theater?...
Keanu Reeves And Jim Carrey Join Cannibal Love Story ‘The Bad Batch’ By Russ Fischer/March 20, 2015 12:30 pm EST When talking about A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night last year, I said that director Ana Lily Amirpour is someone we’re excited to watch going forward.

LOL: ‘Everyone Poops’ Movie Trailer Teases A Blockbuster Epidemic You Can’t Avoid By Ethan Anderton/July 7, 2016 4:00 pm EST With all the intellectual property being turned into movies nowadays simply for the benefit of brand recognition, it’s amazing that the well-known children’s educational book Everyone Poops hasn’t been turned into some kind of family comedy. Instead, a new sketch from the NBC variety show Maya & Marty (hosted by Maya Rudolph and Martin Short) imagines Everyone Poops as a whistleblower thriller where the American government and most of the citizens of the United States don’t want to believe the truth....

Hader was credited as a vocal consultant along with Parks and Recreation’s Ben Schwartz, who opened up about the process with a little more details in a Reddit AMA video back in February....
