Emily Blunt Explains Why Her Name Keeps Cropping Up In Those ‘Captain Marvel’ Rumors By Angie Han/Sept. 15, 2015 9:30 am EST When Marvel announced plans to make Captain Marvel, Emily Blunt was immediately pegged by fans (us included) as a dream pick for the lead. She’d just proven her action bona fides in Edge of Tomorrow, making her an obvious choice for the bold, badass Carol Danvers. But her casting remains in the realm of wishful thinking, as Blunt clarifies she’s not heard anything about the role....

LOL: A Baby Does The ‘Rocky II’ Training Montage, Will Knock You Out With Cuteness By Ethan Anderton/July 13, 2016 4:00 am EST “In anything that we want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage. Even Rocky had a montage.” The lyrics from the Team America: World Police song (which actually originated on South Park) don’t lie as every single Rocky film features a training montage where Sylvester Stallone is getting ready for the next big fight....

Read the press release here. Original story follows. Big news coming out of Marvel Studios.

New ‘San Andreas’ Images Put The Rock In Peril By Angie Han/Dec. 8, 2014 7:30 am EST Californians have been waiting decades for the Big One, the massive earthquake expected to rock the San Andreas fault at a magnitude of 7.0 or greater on the Richter scale. As of now, there’s no telling when the event might hit — at least in real life. In the movies, we already know there’s a catastrophe due to land next summer....
Nicolas Cage Will Direct Nicolas Cage In ‘Vengeance: A Love Story" By Jack Giroux/March 8, 2016 4:30 pm EST Nicolas Cage hasn’t directed a feature film in almost 14 years. Cage’s directorial debut, Sonny, which stars James Franco and features a score from Clint Mansell (Moon), made slightly over $17,000 at the box office. It was a small film, so it wasn’t a disaster, but it wasn’t exactly a hit with audiences or critics....

Niels Arden Oplev is directing the new version. Deadline reports the Kiefer Sutherland Flatliners casting is not a done deal, but that he is “committed” to joining the cast after working out a schedule so he could do both the movie and his ABC series Designated Survivor....
Terminator, John Wick, Star Wars, Collateral & Tons More Converge In ‘Hell’s Club’ Movie Mash-Up By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 4, 2015 9:00 am EST There’s a good chance no one has ever thought that they’d like to see a movie that intersects the worlds of films such as Star Wars, Scarface, John Wick, Collateral, Terminator, Trainspotting, Saturday Night Fever and more. But that’s exactly what Antonio Maria Da Silva has done with a wholly strange, mesmerizing and fantastic cleverly edited short compiled by using clips from all these movies....
Video Blog: How Does Dwayne Johnson’s ‘San Andreas’ Play In 4DX? By Germain Lussier/June 2, 2015 6:00 am EST Violent shaking, swirling winds, billowing smoke, and that’s just inside the movie theater. Since the opening of the United States’ first 4DX theater in Los Angeles, CA last year, there really hasn’t been quite as perfect a marriage of experience and material as that theater and San Andreas. Where a film like Transformers: Age of Extinction certainly works in 4DX, San Andreas is about characters being in an environment that moves around....
Why Does Black Widow Side With Iron Man In ‘Captain America: Civil War’? By Jack Giroux/Dec. 4, 2015 7:00 am EST The last few Marvel movies have invested a good amount of time in building Natasha Romanoff’s (Scarlett Johansson) relationships with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner). Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in particular, wisely made the film a bit of a two-hander between Rogers and Romanoff. In the trailer for Captain America: Civil War, it looks as if she’s turning her back on her two pals, but that’s not quite the case....
‘Batman: The Killing Joke’ Featurette Has First Footage From The Animated Movie By Ethan Anderton/April 3, 2016 2:00 pm EST At Comic-Con last summer, we learned that the iconic Batman comic book storyline The Killing Joke was being turned into an animated movie.

‘Deadpool’ Creator Gives Merc With A Mouth A Very Attractive Mondo Poster By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 11, 2016 6:00 am EST The release of Deadpool is nearly upon us, and you’ll want to make sure you stick around for both of the credits sequences after the movie is over – one of them teases an interesting addition to the X-Men universe. And in honor of the long-awaited release of the R-rated comic book action comedy, comic creator Rob Liefeld has designed the perfect Mondo poster to commemorate the occasion....
‘Doctor Strange’ Summons Composer Michael Giacchino By Jacob Hall/May 6, 2016 9:30 am EST As much as I enjoyed Captain America: Civil War, there is one area where it falls flat on its face – the musical score is wholly unremarkable. Heck, just about every single movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is guilty of this exact same sin. Here are dynamic characters, colorful heroes who demand to be associated with instantly recognizable melodies, and their adventures are scored with the musical equivalent of vanilla pudding....
‘Fast And Furious 8’ Confirmed To Go VROOOM! In New York City By Jacob Hall/Oct. 15, 2015 1:30 pm EST There is all kinds of drama stirring behind the scenes of Fast and Furious 8 right now. The eighth film in the increasingly insane action series, which will kick off a supposedly final trilogy of movies, finally found its director in F. Gary Gray, but only after Furious 7’s James Wan fled the series like his life depended on it… literally....
‘Game Of Thrones’ Will Feature The Star Of One Of Our Favorite 2014 Films By Russ Fischer/Sept. 11, 2015 3:30 pm EST There’s no official announcement about this yet, and the info comes from spy photos, so we’re going to keep potential spoiler stuff after the jump. But the short version is that the sixth season of Game of Thrones has recruited, among several other new actors, the lead of one of our favorite 2014 movies....
‘Ghost In The Shell’ Adds ‘Wolverine’ Star Rila Fukushima By Ethan Anderton/May 26, 2016 7:30 am EST DreamWorks adaptation of the anime Ghost in the Shell has come under fire for whitewashing by casting Scarlett Johansson in the lead role as Kusanagi, a cyborg that is a part of an elite cybercrime-fighting task force known as Section 9. However, there will be some Asian talent on board the project in key roles in a poor attempt to heal the wounds left by this increasingly annoying method of casting....
‘Mad TV’ 20th Anniversary Reunion Special Hits The CW In January By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 10, 2015 12:30 pm EST A slew of cast members from the show will be reunited for what the network describes as “a glamorous award ceremony to honor the series, but in classic Mad TV fashion, nothing goes as planned.” Does that mean the cast will be appearing as various characters from the show accepting awards? We’ll have to wait and see....
‘Pixels’ Honest Trailer: Adam Sandler Ruins A Really Cool Idea By Ethan Anderton/June 24, 2016 7:00 am EST With aliens invading Earth again this weekend in Independence Day: Resurgence (our review of the insanity that Roland Emmerich put together is coming soon), there’s no better time to look at the exciting alien invasion that could have been in last years Pixels. The folks over at Screen Junkies have put together an Honest Trailer tackling Adam Sandler’s last theatrical release before he started pumping hot garbage into your Netflix queue, and as expected, they have a good ole time talking about just how badly Happy Madison ruined what could have been a really cool movie....
