This one stars Guy Pearce, Cobie Smulders, and Kevin Corrigan as an unlikely trio who are united by Corrigan’s neediness and depression after a divorce....

Disney’s remake of Splash has just caught Channing Tatum and Jillian Bell, who previously co-starred in 22 Jump Street....

‘Terminator Genisys’ And ‘Transformers’ Posters Create A Mash-Up Universe By Russ Fischer/Dec. 4, 2014 2:15 pm EST Someone in Paramount’s marketing department, or perhaps at a poster design firm, really has a thing for fields of wheat, strong sun, and specific poses. Today we just saw the first poster for Terminator Genisys, on which Emilia Clarke, as Sarah Connor, faces away from camera, the head of a T-800 terminator in one hand....

‘The Last Of Us’ Movie Is Stalled And ‘Uncharted’ Is A Big Question Mark By Jacob Hall/April 5, 2016 12:30 pm EST Few developers make video games as inherently cinematic as Naughty Dog. The Uncharted series is the closest the electronic gaming medium has ever come to reaching the pulpy heights of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Last of Us is one of the best games I’ve ever played, a terrifying post-apocalyptic tale that poses a number of difficult questions without offering easy answers....

GI Joe vs. Transformers Both GI Joe and Transformers are owned by Hasbro, with film franchises set up at Paramount. Since the first films of both franchises hit the big screen, fans have been hoping for a big screen crossover like the one which has happened in comics. And I agree. With the exception of Michael Bay’s original Transformers, I have not really liked the human characters in any of the three films that have followed....

Cool Stuff: Matt Taylor’s Glow In The Dark ‘Attack The Block’ Poster By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 20, 2015 7:00 am EST If you’re anxious to see how John Boyega fares as one of the new heroes in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you might want to check out the film that really got us to pay close attention to the young British actor: Attack the Block. Written and directed by Joe Cornish, the movie is a perfect blend of contemporary style and classic monster movie tropes as an alien invasion wreaks havoc in the hood in South London with a young street gang doing whatever they have to in order to survive....

Did You Catch All These ‘Daredevil’ Easter Eggs? By Ethan Anderton/May 29, 2015 4:00 am EST Shortly after The Avengers: Age of Ultron hit theaters, there was already a video running through a slew of easter eggs from the film, moments that reference the comic books and the rest of the Marvel cinematic universe. And since the buzz of the superhero sequel began to overshadow the previous month’s release of the Netflix series adaptation of Daredevil, we figured now was a good time to revisit all the goodies that Marvel Studios’ third television series had to offer....

Exclusive: Phil Lord And Chris Miller Will Only Produce ‘23 Jump Street’ By Fred Topel/Aug. 6, 2015 6:33 pm EST “We are hard at work on 23 Jump Street, which I think we will probably just produce from a time standpoint,” Miller said. “But we’ve been working really hard. We’ve got a really good first draft of a script in and we’re really excited about it.” As for those other big projects, he couldn’t even answer the vaguest of vague questions about the direction of his film career....

First Look At Disney Animations’s Next Film: ‘Zootopia’ By Germain Lussier/June 9, 2015 4:30 pm EST Much like Pixar took off last year, Disney Animation is taking off this year. After a nice string of hits including the all-time animated champion, Frozen, Disney Animation isn’t releasing a film in 2015 but will be back in 2016. Their next movie is called Zootopia, a film they revealed at the D23 Expo back in 2013 set in a massive animal metropolis....

LOL: Supercut Of Some Of The Worst Special Effects Ever By Ethan Anderton/July 15, 2015 10:00 am EST Today, technology allows for some extremely astounding special effects. However, it wasn’t always so easy to produce fantastical elements, sci-fi creatures and plane crashes. A new supercut has collected some of the worst special effects ever seen on the big screen, and they’re pretty embarrassing to look at. Some of them are bad simply because of when they were created and they just haven’t aged well over time....

M. Night Shyamalan Pitches ‘Unbreakable’ TV Show, Still Defending ‘The Last Airbender’ By Angie Han/May 28, 2015 10:19 am EST Say what you will about M. Night Shyamalan, but his films do get people talking. Five years after the much-reviled The Last Airbender and 15 years after the much-loved Unbreakable, he’s still fielding questions about both. While on the press tour for his latest endeavor, the actually pretty well-reviewed Wayward Pines, Shyamalan offered his latest defense of The Last Airbender, and floated the idea of an Unbreakable TV show sequel....

New ‘Deadpool’ Image: The Merc With A Mouth Is Locked And Loaded By Angie Han/July 2, 2015 9:45 am EST EW unveiled the new Deadpool image. It seems to be a still from the movie, as opposed to just a promotional pic. Reynolds previously portrayed the character in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The film was widely panned and didn’t exactly win over fans of Deadpool from the comics. However, the upcoming standalone film promises to be much more in line with the character’s twisted, sarcastic, fourth-wall-shattering spirit....

Ryan Gosling Directorial Debut ‘Lost River’ Going Straight To Video By Russ Fischer/Dec. 30, 2014 12:00 pm EST You won’t see the next Ryan Gosling film in theaters. Lost River, the film Ryan Gosling directed, and which premiered at Cannes this year to puzzled, if not outright hostile reactions, will be released by Warner Bros. only on video. The stigma associated with the phrase “direct to video” has slowly but steadily decreased, perhaps since Roger Ebert highlighted Red Rock West as a quality film that just happened to be dumped to HBO and video in ‘93/‘94....
