By Angie Han/April 20, 2016 3:30 pm EST But while Wolverine 3 marks an end for Jackman’s version of the character, it’ll be a brand-new beginning for another mutant. Rumor has it Wolverine 3 will mark the big-screen debut of X-23, a popular comic book character who’s got more than a few things in common with the cantankerous Canadian himself. X-23, also called Laura Kinney, first appeared in the animated series X-Men: Evolution before making her way to the comics....

More on the Green Lantern Chris Pine rumor after the jump....

Steven Soderbergh Might Direct, Will Definitely Produce A Movie About The Panama Papers By Angie Han/July 7, 2016 3:00 pm EST Steven Soderbergh is great at many things, but he is terrible at retirement. He spent his break away from film directing working in TV and theater and serving as a DP to his former AD. Eventually he decided to give up on this whole “retirement from movies” thing altogether and started prepping Logan Lucky as his next feature, and now he’s lined up another movie after that....

Is Joss Whedon excited for Batman v Superman? Why shouldn’t The Avengers know what’s going on in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? How does Scarlett Johansson describe Captain America: Civil War? Does Henry Cavill consider Batman v Superman is a sequel to Man of Steel?...

The Bermuda Triangle Ensnares Competing Movie Developments By Russ Fischer/June 17, 2015 10:30 am EST The Bermuda Triangle, that decades-old center of odd aeronautical and oceanic lore, is now the focus of multiple films at different studios. The Caribbean area that has been said to be a mysterious danger zone for planes and ships is a great location for a thriller, especially because factors as varied as alien influence and Atlantis are used to explain the supposed disappearance of various craft....

The stand-up comedian and creator of The Office, Extras and Derek doesn’t hold back when he rips into Hollywood and its celebrities, and his monologue opening the 73rd Golden Globes was no exception....

‘Cinderella’ Trailer: Disney Tries To Bring New Magic To An Old Tale By Angie Han/Feb. 11, 2015 6:05 am EST Say what you will about Maleficent and Oz the Great and Powerful, but at least they were trying to put a fresh spin on familiar tales. That’s not the case with Cinderella, Disney’s new live-action fairy tale directed by Kenneth Branagh. The new Cinderella trailer does try to make a case for itself by giving its heroine (Lily James) a bit more backbone, but for the most part it’s the same story we already know....

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Director James Gunn’s Favorite Movies Of 2014 By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 9, 2015 12:30 pm EST Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn is one of those filmmakers who puts himself out there and connects with the fans (or just fellow movie geeks). Be it on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, Gunn has always been very open about answering questions, sharing behind the scenes photos and even talking about the state of movies in general....

‘Howard The Duck’ Star Lea Thompson Will Cameo In Chip Zdarsky’s ‘Howard The Duck’ Comic Book By Angie Han/June 7, 2016 2:30 pm EST Marvel movies may seem nigh unstoppable today, but back in the 1980s a Marvel movie became one of the most notorious flops of all time. Critics hated Howard the Duck, fans were vocal about their disappointment, and audiences mostly failed to show up at all. But the tide is slowly turning for Howard....

‘Mother’s Day’ Trailer: Jennifer Aniston Doesn’t Want To Tweet At You By Ethan Anderton/March 29, 2016 1:30 pm EST It’s almost time for another holiday centric comedy from director Garry Marshall. However, this time the cast of Mother’s Day doesn’t seem quite as packed to the gills with celebrities as its predecessors Valentine’s Day or New Year’s Eve. Instead, it’s Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, Britt Robertson, Sarah Chalke, Shay Mitchell, Jon Lovitz, Aasif Mandvi, Timothy Olyphant and Margo Martindale starring in the movie, which follows multiple interconnected storylines....

‘Penny Dreadful’ Has Been Cancelled After Three Seasons By Jacob Hall/June 20, 2016 10:00 am EST Showtime’s Penny Dreadful has been sitting at the top of my “Man, I really should get around to catching up on that soon” list for longer than I’d like to admit. I watched the first season and found it to be a dark and delightful riff on classic horror icons, a gothic but humane reinterpretation of the Universal monster formula that had no right to work as well as it did....

‘Preacher’ Sneak Peek Offers A Little Taste Of The Violence To Come By Angie Han/April 12, 2016 12:00 pm EST AMC’s Preacher earned some great buzz at this year’s SXSW, but those of us who weren’t lucky enough to attend the world premiere of that pilot still have weeks to go before we find out how exactly Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin’s vision of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s beloved comic series turned out....

‘Romeo And Juliet’ Is Getting A ‘300’-Inspired Makeover By Angie Han/March 20, 2015 1:00 pm EST As teen romance goes, William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet has just about everything: warring families, rich wordplay, deadly swordfights, fake-out poison, illicit marriage, and of course, a passion so intense it makes all of the rest of that stuff worth it for our heroes. If it has one major flaw, though, it’s obviously the lack of hyper-stylized Zack Snyder-style action....

‘The Infiltrator’ Trailer: Bryan Cranston Goes After Pablo Escobar’s Drug Cartel By Ethan Anderton/May 25, 2016 9:30 am EST After becoming one of the most intimidating meth dealers we’ve ever seen, Bryan Cranston is now on the other side of the law, chasing down one of the most notorious drug dealers in history.

We’ve known most of the cast of the film, which includes Ben Foster, Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Toby Kebbell, Rob Kazinsky, Dominic Cooper, Daniel Wu and Clancy Brown. Until today we weren’t certain about most of their characters beyond the fact that Foster would play Medivh....

Check Out The First Trailer For Sundance Smash ‘Diary Of A Teenage Girl’ By Angie Han/May 26, 2015 11:30 am EST Coming-of-age indie narratives are a Sundance staple each year, and this year one of the most buzzed-about was Marielle Heller’s The Diary of a Teenage Girl. Based on the novel by Phoebe Gloeckner, it stars Bel Powley as Minnie, a teenager growing up in 1970s San Francisco. Minnie loses her virginity to a much older man (Alexander Skårsgard) who also happens to be dating her mom (Kristen Wiig), and her life only gets crazier and more complicated from there....

You’d be hard pressed to come up with five names who, over the past few decades, have build better worlds on the big screen. Avatar, Halloween, The Lord of the Rings, Inception and Jurassic Park are just the tip of the cinematic iceberg for that group and, this weekend at the Hero Complex Gallery, they’re paying tribute....

Cool Stuff: Sideshow Collectibles Summons ‘Beetlejuice’ By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 21, 2016 5:00 am EST At a couple points in your life, you’ve probably said Beetlejuice to yourself three times, just to see what would happen. Sadly, it just doesn’t work the way it does in Tim Burton’s classic 1988 horror comedy. But now if you say Beetlejuice three times and you have some extra cash lying around, you can finally summon Beetlejuice into your house....
