These ‘Gods Of Egypt’ Clips Are Absolutely Bonkers And Maybe Kind Of Great? By Jacob Hall/Feb. 25, 2016 7:30 am EST Gods of Egypt has looked like a disaster since those goofy character posters arrived so long ago and most of the trailers have looked downright bad. However, I’m starting to think that this isn’t an ordinary disaster. Oh, no. Gods of Egypt is starting to look like my kind of disaster, the kind of train wreck that can only occur when a bunch of genuinely interesting people with an actual vision get together…and then bump heads as they stumble around in the dark....
VFX Breakdown Shows Imagine Engine’s Impressive Visual Effects Work On ‘Chappie’ By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 26, 2015 5:00 am EST Earlier this summer, we featured a very brief look at the visual effects that helped bring Neill Blomkamp’s futuristic fairytale Chappie to life. A live performance on set was done with Sharlto Copley (District 9), and then the actor was replaced entirely with visual effects, and now we get to see just how perfectly the effects mirror Copley’s performance....
Video: Jude Law Explains Why He Turned Down Playing Superman By Germain Lussier/Feb. 23, 2015 2:00 pm EST If all goes to plan, Henry Cavill will be Superman for a long time. Before he accepted the role, however, many actors almost played the character. Nicolas Cage is a famous one. Josh Hartnett is another and Jude Law is a third. Law recently told the story of how he was considering playing the role in a version of the film that was going to be directed by Brett Ratner, but ultimately passed....

Will The Next ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Trailer Feature The Original Characters? By Germain Lussier/Jan. 19, 2015 6:00 am EST You see, the source who tipped us off to the new trailer told us something almost totally different. They said the original trilogy characters would not be featured in the marketing because Lucasfilm wants to keep their specific roles as secret as possible.

‘Hardcore Henry’ Trailer: Action Cinema Goes First-Person By Jacob Hall/Feb. 10, 2016 7:04 pm EST I’m fascinated by how the language of video games has begun to leak into filmmaking. As gaming has become more commonplace and mainstream, a new generation of directors raised with controllers in their hands have begun to blend the mediums. And you don’t just see this in big, dumb action movies – the stylistically ambitious drama Son of Saul bears a distinctive video game thumbprint, whether anyone wants to admit it or not....
‘Hardcore Henry’ Trailer: This Looks Like The First True “Video Game Movie” By Jacob Hall/March 7, 2016 9:06 am EST Hardcore Henry looks like a lot of things, but it sure as hell doesn’t look boring. Director Ilya Naishuller has done something genuinely unique – he’s made an action film shot entirely from the first person perspective, essentially adapting the first person shooter genre without actually adapting a video game. Here is a film that speaks the language of video games....

‘Walking Dead’ Creator Robert Kirkman On Why ‘Batman V Superman’ Is An Uphill Battle By Germain Lussier/March 17, 2015 11:00 am EST There are lots of comic book writers who know story. Men and women who weave exciting, layered, multi-dimensional tales across various books. However, very, very few of them are currently doing that in another medium. One who does is Robert Kirkman. The writer and creator of The Walking Dead comic is also an executive producer on the super popular TV show of the same name....
Cool Stuff: Mondo Unleashes ‘The Neon Demon’ Poster By Jack Giroux/June 16, 2016 2:30 pm EST The initial reactions to Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon were, as expected, polarizing. The director’s surreal horror-comedy isn’t for everybody, although it is more accessible than his previous feature, Only God Forgives. If Refn’s fans and harshest critics can agree on one thing, though, it’s that the director certainly knows how to create a mood, usually one of beauty and horror....
