This new spot contains a lot of new footage not previously seen in the first teaser trailer. The first half of the one-minute spot is an accelerated recap of the teaser, and then it gets into new footage, much of which is quick-cut action....

‘Suicide Squad’ Director Says Set Photos Didn’t Ruin Any Surprises By Germain Lussier/June 1, 2015 1:00 pm EST For the past few weeks, the Internet has been plastered with photos from the set of Suicide Squad. We’ve seen Will Smith as Deadshot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomarang. More famously, we’ve seen Margot Robbie in multiple Harley Quinn outfits, Jared Leto as the Joker, the Joker’s car, the Joker’s car being chased by the Batmobile, and even Batman himself....

Dwayne Johnson To Voice A Character In Disney’s ‘Moana’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 3, 2014 6:00 am EST These days, there’s frankly not much Dwayne Johnson isn’t doing. Revitalizing franchises like Fast and Furious, Journey or G.I. Joe? Check. Headlining a big summer action movie? Check. Spy movie? Check. Big buddy action comedy? Check. Tongue in cheek remake? Check. Hell, Johnson is even going to be a super villain pretty soon. Really the only thing Johnson hasn’t done is a big Disney movie and, well, that’s next....

First Look: Quentin Tarantino’s ‘The Hateful Eight’ By Russ Fischer/May 7, 2015 8:00 am EST Our first look at Quentin Tarantino’s new film The Hateful Eight came via an animated teaser trailer (above) that was created before the film even shot. Now there’s an actual photo, showing the characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. We’ve got that proper Hateful Eight first look below, replete with a black eye and mustache enough for more than eight men....

How Fox’s ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ Will Be Different From The 1975 Movie [TCA 2016] By Fred Topel/Aug. 9, 2016 7:30 am EST “When we first embarked on developing this re-imagining, the very first thing laid out was we wanted to celebrate the fans with this new departure,” said executive producer, director, and choreographer Kenny Ortega. “We wanted to bring in a cast that didn’t have to fill in anyone’s shoes....

International ‘Fantastic Four’ Trailer: Miles Teller Can’t Fix His Super-Powered Friends By Ethan Anderton/May 23, 2015 12:30 pm EST Even though director Josh Trank is no longer on board the second Star Wars Anthology film, which is reportedly about Boba Fett, we’re still hoping for the best when it comes to his reboot of Fantastic Four at 20th Century Fox. So far the trailers have painted a pretty serious picture for the comic book property that isn’t exactly known for being dark and gritty, so this will likely be very different from the previous big screen iteration of the super powered quartet....

James Mangold Offers Update On ‘The Wolverine’ Sequel By Germain Lussier/March 5, 2015 12:30 pm EST The director was asked, via Twitter, when the film would shoot. He offered up a concrete, albeit obvious piece of information. The Wolverine 2 will begin filming in early 2016. Read more about the Wolverine 2 update below. Thanks to Superhero Hype for pointing out the following tweet: @R_0_B_89 early next year. — Mangold (@mang0ld) March 5, 2015...

Jill Marie Jones Joins ‘Ash Vs Evil Dead’ As Co-Star To Bruce Campbell By Russ Fischer/Feb. 19, 2015 1:00 pm EST Bruce Campbell plays the title character in Ash vs Evil Dead, the Starz-based TV series that Sam Raimi and his crew are concocting as the follow up to Raimi’s three Evil Dead films. But Campbell won’t be the only one bashing deadites in the ten-part series. We know he’s got a couple of supporting characters backing him up....

LOL: ‘Rick & Morty’ Recreate An Insane Georgia Court Transcript You Won’t Believe By Ethan Anderton/July 27, 2016 5:00 am EST If you’ve watched an episode of Rick and Morty, then you know there are some positively insane things in the Adult Swim animated series. From weird aliens to intergalactic television to Mr. Poopybutthole, there’s always something totally strange in each and every episode. However, during a panel at Comic-Con, creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland delivered a video so totally weird you won’t believe the dialogue was lifted from a real life court case in Georgia....

Mark Hamill Finally Revealed As A Stormtrooper… In Omaze’s Latest ‘Star Wars’ Charity Push By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 3, 2015 7:00 am EST The last time we saw Mark Hamill in Stormtrooper gear, it was when he teamed up with Harrison Ford as Han Solo to rescue Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia from the detention level of the Death Star (cell block 1138) in the original Star Wars. And the actor reminds us of that very fact when he puts on the white armor again (though it’s the updated First Order Stormtrooper gear), this time for a new Omaze charity video that has him walking Hollywood Blvd....

Paramount Pictures Plans ‘Escape’ With Jon M. Chu By Ethan Anderton/May 5, 2015 2:16 pm EST Director Jon M. Chu has been dancing back and forth between action adventures and music-infused dance films. On one side, the filmmaker has been at the helm of sequels like G.I. Joe: Retaliation and the forthcoming Now You See Me: The Second Act. And on the other, he’s directed both Step Up 2: The Streets and Step Up 3D, not to mention this fall’s big screen adaptation of Jem and the Holograms....

Watch: Max Landis Announces Death And Return Of Superman Sequel ‘Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling’ By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 2, 2014 5:30 am EST In 2012, Screenwriter Max Landis (Chronicle, and upcoming American Ultra, Victor Frankenstein) released a short film called The Death and Return of Superman which starred Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Ron Howard, Chris Hardwick, Simon Pegg and more. The short, described as “an educational parody,” told the hilarious, literal, insider version what happened in 1992 when DC Comics decided to kill, then resurrect, Superman....

Watch The ‘Family Matters’ Cast Reunite In Lifetime’s ‘Flight Before Christmas’ By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 3, 2015 4:00 pm EST We will probably never get a Family Matters reunion, although if the Full House sequel/spin-off tv series Fuller House does big numbers, you never know. So for now, the closest thing we’ll get to a Family Matters reunion is the Lifetime television movie Flight Before Christmas that premieres this weekend. The made-for-tv movie features Reginald VelJohnson (best known as Carl Winslow on Family Matters or Sgt....

‘Alien: Covenant’ First Look: Katherine Waterston Has Nowhere To Run By Ethan Anderton/May 26, 2016 8:30 am EST On Alien Day last month, director Ridley Scott offered our first look at the production of Alien: Covenant by way of the mission patch with the name of the title ship we’ll be following. This is just the first of what is meant to be two sequels (even though Scott once said this was the first in a new trilogy) that lead us up to the events of Alien in 1979....

‘Batman V Superman’ Viral Marketing: Meet Vegan Hipster Lex Luthor By Jack Giroux/Oct. 6, 2015 5:00 am EST Ever since Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) was cast in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, fans haven’t been quite sure what to make of the actor playing Lex Luthor. It’s a completely out-of-the-box choice, which, to me, is exciting. The glimpses of his performance in the Comic-Con trailer teased an eccentric take on the character, but a new piece of Batman v Superman viral marketing gives us a better idea of what to expect from the new Lex Luthor....

‘Captain America: Civil War’ Will Set Up ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ By Angie Han/July 21, 2015 10:30 am EST Thor: Raganarok is still a couple of years at this point, but you can bet the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be laying the groundwork for it long before that. Jaimie Alexander, who’s set to return as Sif in the sequel, indicates that next year’s Captain America: Civil War will tie into Thor: Ragnarok. More on the Civil War Thor connection after the jump....

First up, he has revealed a couple of the directors for this season. One is returning helmer Vincenzo Natali, who directs the first three episodes of Season 3. Another is Neil Marshall, known for his own efforts on Game of Thrones and features like The Descent....

‘Hunt For The Wilderpeople’ Trailer: Taika Waititi’s Wonderful Wilderness Comedy At Sundance By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 23, 2016 11:31 am EST If you loved What We Do in the Shadows as much as the entire crew at /Film did, then you’ll want to keep your ear to the ground to find out when director Taika Waititi’s next film hits theaters. Hunt for the Wilderpeople just debuted this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, and it’s a worthy follow-up to the filmmaker’s vampire comedy, and it has even more heart to go with the hiliarity this time around....

‘Ip Man 3’ Teaser: It’s Mike Tyson Vs. Donnie Yen By Russ Fischer/Oct. 1, 2015 1:00 pm EST Here’s the first Ip Man 3 teaser, complete with some footage of Mike Tyson as the antagonist of the film. (He’s not playing himself, by the way.) Donnie Yen returns as Ip Man, most famous for teaching Bruce Lee, though that point in his life is only one of many achievements. Bruce Lee, by the way, has been said to be appearing in this film through the demonic magic of CG, despite attempts from the Lee estate to contest that plan....

‘The Crow’ Reboot Stalled Following Relativity Bankruptcy By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 2, 2015 1:30 pm EST The big screen reboot of The Crow just can’t catch a break. Shortly after losing lead actor Jack Huston, pre-production on the film has now stalled, presumably due to the recent filing of bankruptcy by Relativity, the company behind the project. At the time Huston left The Crow, it wasn’t clear if scheduling difficulties or creative differences caused him to leave, but maybe he just saw the writing on the wall and knew this project was going to have some trouble moving forward....
