‘The Divergent Series: Allegiant’ Trailer: Shailene Woodley Is A Miracle By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 15, 2016 6:15 am EST Right now The Divergent Series is in a bit of a tight spot since the final installment of the young adult sci-fi franchise from Lionsgate just lost its director. Robert Schwentke has been at the helm of Insurgent and next month’s forthcoming Allegiant, but Ascendant just proved to be too much for the director, opting to “spend more time with his family” (or at least that’s what the studio says)....

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Super Bowl Spot: Mutant Mayhem By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 7, 2016 6:15 pm EST Here’s the X-Men: Apocalypse Super Bowl spot from Fox: This X-Men movie is meant to be the last one that Bryan Singer directs, unless a previous rumor of another sequel being in the works turns out to be true. That means this will likely be the beginning of a new series of films following the younger versions of the original X-Men, including Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey and Alexandra Shipp as Storm....

Gunn gave Pratt in particular his own customized Awesome Mix Vol. 1 to listen to so he’d be in the mindset of his character. Most of the songs made it into the movie but some did not. Now Gunn has revealed the full original list....

Loki Was Almost In ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’; Here’s Why His Cameo Got Cut By Angie Han/May 1, 2015 10:00 am EST Avengers: Age of Ultron has more MCU characters than you can shake an Infinity Stone-powered scepter at, but there was one popular figure who just barely missed the cut.

Mitch Hurwitz Cutting A Chronological Version Of ‘Arrested Development’ Season 4 By Germain Lussier/Oct. 30, 2014 1:30 pm EST At this moment, Arrested Development is pretty much in arrested development.

So Far, 2015 Has Been Historic For Box Office Bombs By Germain Lussier/March 9, 2015 12:32 pm EST If you haven’t been to the movies much this year, you aren’t alone. So far, Hollywood’s 2015 offerings have been pretty lackluster. Kingsman: The Secret Service and Paddington are rare exceptions amiss a slew of big budget movies that have either been terrible, or that just underperformed terribly. Some examples are Jupiter Ascending, Seventh Son, Strange Magic, Blackhat, Mortdecai and Focus....

The film was an instant classic in 1996 and it spawned two successful, acclaimed sequels with a fourth installment on the way in 2017, and it was just the beginning of what the animation house had to offer....

‘The Visit’ Trailer: Kid, Don’t Get In That Oven By Russ Fischer/April 23, 2015 3:29 pm EST What if the gingerbread house witch in the story of Hansel and Gretel was the kids’ actual grandmother? That concept looks like part of the inspiration for The Visit, the new film from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan.
