‘Dear White People’ Red-Band Trailer: This Party May Be A Disaster By Russ Fischer/Oct. 8, 2014 2:30 pm EST Here’s the great red-band trailer for Dear White People, which looks like a very funny comedy exploring culture clashes, stereotypes and racism on a college campus. You’ll meet a bunch of characters in this trailer, or at least you’ll start to get acquainted with some of the faces they present on campus, and the ways in which they collide....

‘Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them’ Will Be “At Least A Trilogy” By Germain Lussier/Oct. 15, 2014 9:45 am EST Warner Bros. is betting big on J.K. Rowling and the world of Harry Potter. We already knew the first spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, written by Rowling and directed by David Yates, would be out on November 18, 2016.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 6 Teasers Remind You Everyone Is Dead, Everything Is Horrible By Jacob Hall/Jan. 25, 2016 5:00 am EST Things have been awfully quiet on the Game of Thrones news front and that’s because HBO knows that we will beg for scraps and be happy when they toss us vague teasers and tiny snippets of new footage. Not even the return of Bran Stark can deter us from one of the most consistently entertaining and impeccably crafted television shows in the history of the medium....

‘Powerless’ Images: Get Your First Look At NBC’s DC Comics Comedy By Angie Han/May 12, 2016 4:00 pm EST Whenever superheroes and supervillains throw down, there’s going to be collateral damage. Sometimes there’s more, sometimes it’s less, but at best we’re talking about millions if not billions in property damage and countless ruined days for ordinary civilians unlucky enough to live in a superpowered universe. While the superheroes get to return to Asgard or hole up in their secret Batcaves or whatever it is they do, these folks are left to sweep up the dust....

‘Remember’ Trailer: Christopher Plummer Wants Revenge By Jack Giroux/Dec. 16, 2015 2:30 pm EST Atom Egoyan made some of the finest films of the 1990s. The Sweet Hereafter, Exotica, and Felicia’s Journey are excellent dramas. Over the last few years, Egoyan’s films haven’t found the same level of acclaim. His last two pictures, The Devil’s Knot and The Captive, were disappointing but not without reminders of Egoyan’s talents. Quickly following those dramas, we’re already getting another film from the director, a thriller titled Remember....

‘The Little Prince’ Trailer: Fall In Love With A Childhood Classic All Over Again By Angie Han/April 21, 2015 8:02 am EST Forget trying to live up to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s original source material. Can Mark Bridges’ The Little Prince possibly live up to its enchanting trailers? If it can — if it’s even half as good — we could be looking at an instant classic. What makes the latest The Little Prince trailer even more appealing to us is that it features the English-language voice cast....

‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Reveals New Vehicle Form For The Autobot Drift By Ethan Anderton/July 2, 2016 12:00 pm EST One of the biggest draws of the Transformers franchise are the cool vehicles that turn into the Autobots and Decepticons and the toys they will become. Since Paramount Pictures strikes deals with various automobile manufacturers to have their latest cars and trucks featured in the latest installment of the Hasbro toy film series, Transformers: The Last Knight has plenty of new vehicles entering the fray and one more has just been revealed....

Ashley Judd Is The Latest Actress To Be Sucked Into The ‘Twin Peaks’ Revival By Jacob Hall/Feb. 15, 2016 1:30 pm EST J.J. Abrams’ patented “Mystery Box” has nothing on whatever black magic David Lynch and Mark Frost are utilizing as they shoot the third season of Twin Peaks. The revival of the beloved supernatural drama series has been shooting for some time now and has been adding new and returning cast members with borderline alarming frequency, but we know next to nothing about what this series is about or how it will continue the cliffhanger season finale....

Cool Stuff: ‘Home Alone’ Is Now A Charming, Illustrated Children’s Book By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 8, 2015 11:01 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. But if you don’t feel like Home Alone warrants a return to theaters, or you just want to experience the John Hughes written story from the comforts of your home in a new way, you might want to pick up the new Home Alone book which turns the movie into a wonderfully illustrated Christmas tale....

HBO Confirms “Very Preliminary” ‘Deadwood’ Movie Talks By Russ Fischer/Aug. 13, 2015 4:00 am EST Yesterday, actor Garret Dillahunt tweeted “So uh…I’m hearing credible rumors about a #Deadwood movie.” I had the same reaction to that tweet that a lot of other people seemed to have: don’t even play around with this. Deadwood is serious business. Canceled in 2006 after three great seasons and a less than satisfying conclusion, there was talk at the time of two Deadwood movies to finish out David Milch’s obsessive and idiosyncratic western vision....

J.J. Abrams Worked On An Outline For A ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?’ Sequel By Jack Giroux/March 12, 2016 10:00 am EST Director Robert Zemeckis has been considering a Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 2 for years now. We’ve never heard much regarding the sequel, since the director usually remains tightlipped about the project, but every once in a while we get an update. This isn’t news on its current status, but instead a cool little piece of movie history....

Laika’s 10th Anniversary: Celebrate With A Look Back At Stop-Motion Wonder By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 15, 2015 10:30 am EST Stop-motion animation is perhaps the most difficult in the entire animation field. Animators have to move their characters and sets by a single frame at a time to film 24 frames in a second. And if you’ve seen movies from Laika such as Coraline and ParaNorman, then you know that they don’t hold back when it comes to intricate and meticulously crafted production pieces....

By Jack Giroux/June 2, 2016 7:00 am EST Chrononauts, Starlight, American Jesus, Super Crooks, Empress: The list of in-development adaptations of Mark Millar’s work goes on and on. Hollywood just can’t get enough of the comic book writer behind Wanted and Kick-Ass. A year ago, it was reported an adaptation of another one of Millar’s properties, Jupiter’s Legacy, was in the works, with a little help from powerhouse producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers)....

Screen Gems and Lakeshore Entertainment have announced on Facebook that the next installment of the vampires vs. werewolves series will be called Underworld Blood Wars. It’s not a bad name, and it’s certainly more imaginative than Underworld Awakening (i.e., Underworld 4) or Underworld Evolution (i....

But do you know how many versions of that scene have been cut over the years? The Star Wars changes are numerous, and go way beyond simple differences between the original 1977 release and the Special Edition....
