The Great Christopher McQuarrie Maybe, Possibly, Worked On ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ By Jacob Hall/Jan. 18, 2016 12:30 pm EST While we’ve been distracted by Star Wars: The Force Awakens arriving in theaters and breaking office records and whatnot, Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has been quietly filming, avoiding the microscopic analysis that pervaded J.J. Abrams’ sequel at every turn. And that’s almost certainly a good thing – after being completely and totally obsessed with The Force Awakens for over a year, it’s going to be nice to relax (just in a little) in the lead-up to the first official Star Wars spin-off....

The Extra-Terrestrial, and we even know some of the fine details. For example, we’ve seen the early alien designs created by Rick Baker for the aborted project Night Skies.

‘Southpaw’ Trailer #3: New Eminem Track Fuels Jake Gyllenhaal’s Boxing Comeback By Ethan Anderton/July 8, 2015 2:30 pm EST So far the marketing machine for Antoine Fuqua’s boxing flick Southpaw has really hit hard.

‘Suffragette’ Trailer: Carey Mulligan And Meryl Streep Demand The Right To Vote By Angie Han/June 5, 2015 6:00 am EST We got a brief teaser for Suffragette back in April thanks to the U.K. election.

‘Tangerine’ Trailer: Here’s The Sundance Smash Shot Entirely On iPhone 5 By Angie Han/May 1, 2015 8:03 am EST Sean Baker’s Sundance smash Tangerine stands out in a couple of ways. For one thing, it chronicles the Christmas Eve misadventures of two transgender prostitutes – not a premise we see on film very often. For another, it was shot entirely on an iPhone 5.

‘The Flash’ Movie May Have The Scarlet Speedster Teaming Up With Cyborg By Ethan Anderton/April 3, 2016 11:00 am EST One of the chief complaints about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been a convoluted, unnecessarily complex story.

‘Urge’ Trailer: Maybe You Shouldn’t Buy Drugs From A Cackling Pierce Brosnan? By Jacob Hall/May 5, 2016 10:30 am EST Every James Bond actor must eventually come to terms with the end of his tenure as the most famous spy in movie history and address a most terrifying question: what’s next?
