‘I Saw The Light’ Clip: Watch Tom Hiddleston Perform ‘Move It On Over’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 10, 2015 9:00 am EST When a biopic depicts a major musical figure, one of the first orders of promotional business is to show the lead actor performing a key song. It’s the way to say “see? they can do it!” So here’s Tom Hiddleston as Hank Williams in the film I Saw the Light, in a clip that takes place in the studio when Williams lays down the classic track ‘Move it on Over,’ which was a watershed tune for the singer....

By Angie Han/Sept. 30, 2015 7:00 am EST In Clancy’s books, Ryan is a Marine officer whose military career is cut short after a helicopter crash. He works as a stockbroker and then as a professor at the U.S. Naval Academy before he’s recruited into the CIA. Over the years he serves as Deputy Director of the CIA, the U.S. National Security Advisor, Vice President of the United States, and, eventually, President of the United States....

‘Jessica Jones’ Teaser: A Former Superheroine Enjoys A Midnight Stroll By Angie Han/Oct. 6, 2015 8:00 am EST Does anyone in Hell’s Kitchen sleep at night? Daredevil sent Matt Murdock — who, let’s remember, has a full-time day job — trawling the streets at odd hours, and now the latest Jessica Jones teaser has its eponymous superheroine-turned-P.I. (Krysten Ritter) walking to work at midnight. No wonder the lady has so much trouble getting out of bed in the morning....

‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ May Feature Two More Familiar Faces By Jacob Hall/July 18, 2016 12:30 pm EST Star Wars: The Force Awakens was all about rekindling your love for the Star Wars saga by embracing the familiar and the nostalgic, but Rogue One: A Star Wars Story seems to be all about taking a hard left turn. We already know that the film will feature a different tone from the main episodes and it probably won’t even feature an opening title crawl....

‘Teen Titans’ Still Breathing, ‘Manhattan’ Canceled As The TV Gods Giveth And Taketh Away By Jacob Hall/Feb. 4, 2016 7:30 am EST Television is a fickle mistress. Here is a creative medium that places every possible roadblock in your way and then still finds a way to trip you after you’ve seemingly cleared every hurdle. And yet, some shows can recover when they have the right champions, like DC’s planned Teen Titans series, which may not be as dead as previously indicated....

‘The Fantastic Four’ Doing Reshoots In Louisiana [Updated With Teaser Premiere Window] By Russ Fischer/Jan. 15, 2015 6:30 pm EST Over the last week we’ve started to hear a lot about The Fantastic Four, with the biggest news being that the film is going in for reshoots in Louisiana. That data, combined with the fact that we have yet to see any official images or footage from the film, will probably create some more questions about precisely what’s up with the film....

‘The Simpsons’ Creator Matt Groening Is Making A New Animated Series For Netflix By Angie Han/Jan. 16, 2016 8:00 am EST According to Variety, Netflix is eyeing a straight-to-series order of two seasons of ten episodes each. The trade points out that a large initial order could help offset the long lead time and large production costs of an animated series. But it’d be far from the first Netflix series to begin with a two-season order; House of Cards, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Judd Apatow’s upcoming Love were all picked up that way....

10 Films About Other Films By Angie Han/March 19, 2015 9:00 am EST Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (Fargo)Fargo begins with the claim that “this is a true story,” but a bit of digging around and some common sense should tell you that’s not strictly accurate. Nevertheless, Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter chronicles the events that follow after one woman decides to take those words at face value. She leaves Japan for the American Midwest, in search of the suitcase buried by Steve Buscemi’s character in the movie....

Disney Potentially Planning Marvel And Star Wars TV Channels By Germain Lussier/May 15, 2015 1:00 pm EST “Honey, what do you want to watch tonight?” “I don’t know, what’s on the Star Wars channel?” That seemingly impossible conversation could happen if Disney CEO Bob Iger has his way.

But in Season 6, it’s getting at least one of them back. As previously reported, Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) is returning to HBO’s fantasy drama after sitting out Season 5, and now we have the first photo of his new look....

Michael Shannon Is Elvis To Kevin Spacey’s Nixon In ‘Elvis & Nixon’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 6, 2014 12:30 pm EST Elvis Presley has been portrayed by many actors over the decades since his death in 1977. That doesn’t make the idea of seeing Michael Shannon play the singer any less head-turningly odd. Pair him with Kevin Spacey as Richard M. Nixon and you might have something really… weird. The two actors have been cast in Elvis & Nixon, which is inspired by the unlikely photo op that resulted in the photo above, taken in 1977....
