Of particular interest are new characters like GCPD captain Nathaniel Barnes (Michael Chiklis), billionaire industrialist Theo Galavan (James Frain), and his loyal sister / enforcer Tabitha Galavan (Jessica Lucas)....

‘Lost River’ International Trailer: Desperate Times In A Drowned Town By Russ Fischer/Feb. 19, 2015 9:15 am EST Here’s a new trailer for Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut Lost River, which features Eva Mendes, Christina Hendricks, Saoirse Ronan, Ben Mendelsohn, and Matt Smith. The film has been the subject of plenty of talk since it debuted at Cannes almost a year ago. The Cannes reviews weren’t particularly kind, but Cannes reviews can be polarized at times, and this clearly isn’t intended to be a movie for everyone....

‘Suicide Squad’ Composer Announced; The Joker Has A “Pageantry” To Him By Jack Giroux/Jan. 20, 2016 4:00 pm EST The buzz for Suicide Squad was initially unremarkable. Our first glimpse at the film was a shot of Jared Leto as The Joker, which most fans didn’t seem to care for. With the grill and the “edgy” tats, fans weren’t fond of where director David Ayer was taking the character. But once they saw the villain in action, especially in the latest trailer, fans warmed up to Ayer’s “worst superheroes ever” picture....

‘True Detective’ Season Three Still Possible; HBO Wants To Put More Blue Balls In Your Hearts By Jack Giroux/Nov. 18, 2015 6:30 am EST Season two of True Detective doesn’t have many passionate fans. Even people who enjoyed it, such as myself, admit it didn’t live up to what creator Nic Pizzolatto pulled off with the first season of the show. Despite the True Detective backlash and harsh criticisms, it still did considerably well in the ratings; it performed better than season one, with the exception of the season finale....

Do You Want To Work In A ‘Star Trek’ Enterprise Office Or Drink In The ‘Breaking Bad’ RV? By Ethan Anderton/May 28, 2015 5:00 am EST If the idea of a Wes Anderson-designed Italian cafe just isn’t your thing, maybe you’ll be more interested in working in an office building created to look like the Enterprise from Star Trek. Or if you don’t feel like boldly working where no man has worked before, how about getting some drinks on board the RV meth lab from Breaking Bad?...

Edgar Wright’s Debut Film ‘A Fistful Of Fingers’ Gets U.S. Premiere And Paul Shipper Posters By Angie Han/Oct. 21, 2015 3:30 pm EST If you’re reading /Film, we’re guessing there’s a pretty good chance you’ve watched Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and the Cornetto trilogy. Maybe you’ve even seen Spaced, the British TV series the first assembled the Edgar Wright / Simon Pegg / Nick Frost dream team. But there’s a good chance even Wright’s biggest fans haven’t seen his debut feature, A Fistful of Fingers....

Interview: ‘Ant-Man’ Director Peyton Reed Talks Back To The Future, Beavis And Butthead And Fantastic Four By Peter Sciretta/July 17, 2015 7:00 am EST A couple weeks ago I got a chance to sit down with director Peyton Reed and talk about his new film Ant-Man. I’ve been a fan of Reed for a while now, from his fun 2000 comedy Bring It On (which was basically Pitch Perfect with Cheerleading) to his work within the Back to the Future franchise (he was involved in the Universal Studios ride, the animated series, and even directed the behind the scenes documentaries for the sequels)....

John Cho’s Sulu Is Gay In ‘Star Trek Beyond’ By Jacob Hall/July 7, 2016 9:00 am EST The Star Trek franchise has been progressive since its earliest days, when it was bold enough to feature a starship crew composed of various ethnicities and backgrounds working together to explore the galaxy and better humanity. The portrait of a universe where people embrace each other’s differences and just work together to get the job done has always been as much of a draw for Trek fans as all of the weird science fiction and planet-hopping adventuring....

New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Preview Hits During ABC’s Shondaland TGIT Programming Block By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 10, 2015 12:00 pm EST Are you a Star Wars fan who also enjoys Shondaland shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder? If you answered yes, then we have some good news for you. If you answered no to the second half of that question, this news is still good, but it may require you to venture outside of your TV comfort zone....

New ‘Twin Peaks’ Trailer Takes A Beautiful And Spooky Trip Into The Pacific Northwest By Angie Han/Dec. 18, 2015 3:00 pm EST One of the most hotly anticipated shows of 2016 became one of the most hotly anticipated shows of 2017 when Showtime announced they were pushing back the Twin Peaks revival. But lest you worry this means the new episodes aren’t happening at all, the network has released a tiny little Twin Peaks trailer showing off the series’ gorgeous Pacific Northwest setting and its deliciously creepy vibe....

Noah Baumbach’s Next Movie Stars Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman And Emma Thompson By Jacob Hall/March 8, 2016 4:00 pm EST You’ve got to hand it to Noah Baumbach – it takes a lot a guile to assemble a cast of movie stars for a small indie drama and then start filming without telling anyone, which is the case for his new movie, a seemingly untitled project that is undergoing production in New York City right now....

By Peter Sciretta/June 3, 2015 3:00 pm EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness.

Park Chan-Wook’s Next Movie Is Lesbian Drama ‘Fingersmith’ By Angie Han/June 23, 2015 6:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Variety reports production on Fingersmith began last week near Nagoya, Japan, and will continue for at least another 70 days. The project is budgeted at around $10 million USD, and is expected to hit theaters sometime in 2016. Hopefully we’ll get it in the U....

Star Wars Theme Park Rides To Be Based On New Films, Not Original Or Prequel Trilogies By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 10, 2014 2:00 pm EST Ever since Disney acquired Lucasfilm and Star Wars fans have been clamoring for a bigger Galactic and Rebel presence in the Disney theme parks. We’ve posted many rumors about a new Star Wars land being planned for Disneyland in Anaheim — at one point they were even testing out an idea for a third park which would’ve combined Star Wars and Marvel, but word has it didn’t test well with females....

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Ready Player One’ Moves To Avoid ‘Star Wars’; ‘The Flash’ Moves Up One Week By Angie Han/Feb. 9, 2016 1:30 pm EST A few weeks ago, Disney bumped Star Wars Episode VIII from May 2017 to December 15, 2017. The move made perfect sense from a business standpoint: Episode VII had a record-breaking run in December, and why fix what’s not broken? But the announcement put the rest of the 2017 release calendar into disarray....

The ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ Trailer Is Here By Angie Han/April 7, 2016 4:50 am EST Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened up a whole new chapter of everyone’s favorite sci-fi saga last year, but the next new Star Wars movie actually takes us back a few decades. Set shortly before the events of A New Hope, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story follows a group of resistance fighters who set out to steal the Death Star plans....

The Academy Officially Changes Membership Policies To Increase Oscar Diversity By Jacob Hall/Jan. 22, 2016 2:00 pm EST The response to this year’s all-white Oscar nominations was loud and angry and it didn’t die down quickly. Soon, Honorary Oscar recipient Spike Lee was boycotting the ceremony. Will Smith also announced that he would not be attending while current nominee Mark Ruffalo made his displeasure known. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president Cheryl Boone Isaacs issued a statement about the situation (which was dubbed #OscarsSoWhite online) and movie fans and industry insiders alike wondered if anything would actually change....
