‘Fahrenheit 451’ Movie Coming From HBO Films And ‘99 Homes’ Director Ramin Bahrani By Angie Han/April 13, 2016 2:30 pm EST Whether you’re a grownup who read Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 in high school and loved it, or a current student who tends to watch movie adaptations at the last minute instead of actually cracking open the book, HBO Films has good news for you. They’ve put into development a new Fahrenheit 451 movie, setting 99 Homes helmer Ramin Bahrani to direct....

‘Five Nights In Maine’ Trailer: David Oyelowo Butts Heads With Dianne Wiest By Angie Han/July 6, 2016 2:00 pm EST What happens when a first time feature filmmaker throws two powerhouse performers at each other? You might get something like Maris Curran’s Five Nights in Maine, starring David Oyelowo as a grieving widower who visits his estranged mother-in-law (Dianne Wiest). Their relationship is chilly to begin with, and they aren’t exactly quick to warm to each other once they’re face-to-face....

‘Neighbors 2’ First Look: Zac Efron And Seth Rogen Are Shirtless In Short Shorts By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 31, 2015 6:30 am EST Shirtless in short shorts sounds like the porn parody of Sleepless in Seattle about 22 years too late, but it’s actually the best way to describe the way Seth Rogen and Zac Efron appear in our first look at the comedy sequel Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. Following up the 2014 summer comedy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller, the movie sees Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne facing a new challenging neighbor, and it looks like plenty of partying is in store for this installment as well....

‘Sanjay’s Super Team’ Clip: A Deeply Personal Short Film From Pixar By Jack Giroux/Oct. 15, 2015 3:00 pm EST Sanjay’s Super Team is directed by Sanjay Patel, who got his start as a character layout artist on The Simpsons in the mid-1990s. Soon after that gig, he served as an animator and story artist on A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, Monsters University and some of Pixar’s past short films....

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Is Officially Finished, Watch Two New TV Spots By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 22, 2015 10:00 am EST We’re 26 days from the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but director J.J. Abrams only just finished the final mix at 2am in the early morning of Saturday, November 21st. The filmmaker revealed completion of the film while appearing at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center for the Celebrity Nerd-Off with Stephen Colbert, and it just makes me even more giddy to see the movie next month....

‘Suicide Squad’ Trailer Mash-Up Lets ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Feel The Power Of Queen By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 22, 2016 9:00 am EST Even though Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is just over a month away, I’m still far more interested in seeing what Suicide Squad brings to the table. While the trailer for the super villain team-up flick felt a little odd in the beginning, with the ballad portion of Queen’s signature track “Bohemian Rhapsody” playing throughout, the hard rock switch really brought the right energy to the movie, and I’m intrigued to see what director David Ayer can do with the DC Comics property....

‘Supergirl’ Moves To The CW For Season 2 [UPDATED] By Ethan Anderton/May 12, 2016 2:45 pm EST Right now the future of Supergirl is up in the air. The series starring Melissa Benoist completed its first season back in April, and CBS has yet to officially announce that the show has been renewed for a second season. However, there might be a good reason for that. A new report reveals that while CBS wants to bring the show back, it’s hard for them to justify bringing it back with the price tag of about $3 million per episode due to licensing fees....

‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2’ Trailer: “Snow Has To Pay” By Germain Lussier/June 9, 2015 8:21 am EST The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 trailer is here; it’s your first look at the finale of one of the biggest franchises out there.

‘The Overnight’ Is Sex-Charged Couples Therapy For Adam Scott And Taylor Schilling [Sundance 2015 Review] By Russ Fischer/Jan. 25, 2015 10:00 am EST Beginning with a couple played by Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling frantically rushing through morning sex before their kid bursts into the room, this is the movie where you’ll see Scott and Jason Schwartzman dance together naked. Like, totally naked. OK, actually about 98% naked. That other 2% is a visual gag carries a hefty comic punch and casts a long shadow over the rest of the story....

20 Films Turning 20 In 2015 By Angie Han/Feb. 6, 2015 8:00 am EST We’re not saying these are the best films of 1995 — that’s a conversation for another time — but these are the ones that stuck with us. Some because they’ve become reliable favorites, some because they still feel remarkably fresh, and others because they’re so hilariously 1995, they couldn’t possibly have been made at any other time....

Channing Tatum Has No Plans To Make Another ‘Magic Mike’ Film By Jack Giroux/June 27, 2016 3:30 pm EST We may not see Michael “Magic Mike” Lane ever again. News had been mostly quiet — too quiet — regarding Magic Mike 3 since XXL tore theaters up last summer. The sequel didn’t sell as many tickets as the first film did, but it performed decently enough, and the diehard Magic Mike fans responded well to the delightful road trip movie....

Christopher Nolan Will Reportedly Crash A Vintage WWII Plane For ‘Dunkirk’ By Jacob Hall/June 8, 2016 7:30 am EST Christopher Nolan has always been a little old fashioned in the best ways: he only shoots on film and he favors practical effects and real sets whenever possible. This means his films have a tangible quality to them – everything on screen looks like it belongs, with digital trickery working hand-in-hand with the real-life elements to create cinematic illusions that simply wouldn’t feel the same if they were entirely cooked up in a computer....

Could ‘Making A Murderer’ Return For Season 2? By Fred Topel/Jan. 18, 2016 6:00 am EST After his executive session, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos addressed the popularity of Making a Murderer and the demand for a follow-up or a second season. Given that the series is a true crime documentary, a continuation could take different form. They could wait for further developments in the Steven Avery case, or tackle another true crime story....

HBO Rolls Out New Trailers For ‘Vinyl’, ‘Sesame Street’, And ‘Togetherness’ By Angie Han/Jan. 8, 2016 3:30 pm EST As a premium cable channel, HBO can show pretty much whatever the hell they want, and when it comes to their prestige dramas they rarely pass up an opportunity to do just that. Colorful curses? Great. Graphic, gory violence? Fantastic. Nudity? Yes please, and preferably while some esteemed British character actor is delivering a boring exposition dump....

Kevin Smith Among Directors Contributing To Horror Anthology Called ‘Holidays’ By Germain Lussier/Feb. 3, 2015 6:30 am EST The holidays and horror go together like peanut butter and jelly. They seem totally opposite, but end up fitting just right. A day like Halloween makes clear sense but several holidays have been given the horror treatment over the years. Now, all of them will come together in one massive movie. XYZ Films and Distant Corners Entertainment are teaming up to make Holidays, a horror anthology film that’ll feature segments based on holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Halloween and Mother’s Day....

Producer Says “No Discussions” Yet On ‘Indiana Jones 5’ As Rumors Emerge Of 2018 Plan By Russ Fischer/June 18, 2015 4:12 pm EST What’s the story with the current state of Indiana Jones 5 development? Rumors have flown about a fifth movie since the release of the fourth, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. More recently, Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm led to more speculation about a fifth outing for Indy, with Lucasfilm saying that a film will happen, with no indication of when....

See The ATOM Exosuit Brandon Routh Will Wear On ‘Arrow’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 3, 2015 4:30 pm EST Marvel heroes don’t have a lock on shrinking down to tiny size. In fact, at least one DC hero can go a lot smaller than ant-size, to shrink right down to the atomic level. The CW show Arrow has been teasing the latest television incarnation of this guy, and now we’ve got the first image of Brandon Routh in costume as The Atom....

The Ecto-2 Motorcycle: Check Out The New ‘Ghostbusters’ Other Set Of Wheels By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 12, 2016 7:00 am EST Just about a week ago, an official LEGO set was announced featuring Paul Feig’s new Ghostbusters. The set included the new Ecto-1 along with the Ghostbusters played by Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. But in addition to those pieces, there was another interesting inclusion, a new vehicle called the Ecto-2....

The Thing Revealed On ‘Fantastic Four’ Billboard; Plus New Poster Copies ‘Halo 3’ By Germain Lussier/March 25, 2015 10:30 am EST The new Fantastic Four poster gave us our best look at the team yet. Johnny’s on fire, Sue is disappearing, and the big bad rocks of The Thing were on full display. However, we only saw them from behind. Common sense (and the trailer) tell us what Miles Teller, Michael B....

Turner Classic Movies And Criterion Are Teaming Up For A New Streaming Service By Jacob Hall/April 26, 2016 11:00 am EST But maybe FilmStruck can fill that void. Yes, this is yet another movie streaming service, but it is the work of Turner Classic Movies and the Criterion Collection, who have joined forces for this endeavor. In other words, it should have your attention. FilmStruck has been revealed on the service’s new Facebook page, but there isn’t much to report just yet....
