Their new universe begins in March with Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which is about more than just Batman and Superman duking it out.

Beasts of No Nation premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this week, immediately attracting high praise for leads Idris Elba and Abraham Attah and director Cary Fukunaga.

‘Big Hero 6’ Honest Trailer: The Marvel-Est Non-Marvel Movie Ever By Ethan Anderton/July 6, 2016 5:30 am EST When Walt Disney Animation decided to bring the Marvel comic Big Hero 6 to theaters, many wondered whether or not there would be ties to the Marvel cinematic universe or if this could be the beginning of a separated animated universe for Marvel superheroes. It turns out neither is true, but as the Honest Trailer for the animated action adventure points out, for all the efforts Big Hero 6 goes to in order to not seem like it’s a true Marvel movie, it certainly has plenty of the same tropes....

‘Breaking Bad’: Vince Gilligan Explains Why Walter White Really Left Grey Matter By Angie Han/March 21, 2016 5:00 am EST Breaking Bad came to a definitive and dramatic conclusion back in 2013, but even now some questions remain. Like: what’s the real story behind Walter White’s exit from Grey Matter Technology all those years ago? Fans of the show know it was a pivotal moment in Walter White’s pre-meth-kingpin history, leaving him bitter and therefore helping to put him on the path to destruction....

‘Furious 7’ Extended Look Features Some Innovative Skydiving By Russ Fischer/March 5, 2015 11:37 pm EST I’d imagine you know everything you need to know about Furious 7 before hitting the theater in April. It’s the late Paul Walker’s last film, and it reunites much of the rest of the cast of the last few films and also brings in some new blood for a story about family (of course) and vengeance....

‘Other Space’ Trailer: Paul Feig Launches Workplace Comedy Into The Cosmos By Russ Fischer/April 6, 2015 11:00 am EST Paul Feig is launching the workplace comedy into outer space. His new web series Other Space — which kicks off soon with eight half-hour episodes on Yahoo — looks in on a crew of a ship on a “routine collection mission” in the 22nd century. But this ship finds something the crew never expected, which only makes their already difficult work situation more stressful....

‘Our Idiot Brother’ Director Jesse Peretz Will Adapt Nick Hornby’s ‘Juliet, Naked’ By Jack Giroux/May 6, 2016 3:33 pm EST Learn more about the Juliet Naked adaptation below. Peretz’s last feature film was Our Idiot Brother, a delightful and refreshingly kindhearted comedy with a charming performance from Paul Rudd. At the time of its release, it was also a significant improvement for Peretz, who had last directed The Ex, a comedy that, despite starring Charles Grodin and Jason Bateman, somehow misses the mark....

‘Steve Jobs’ Featurette: Jeff Daniels Explains The Unresolved Bromance By Jack Giroux/Feb. 15, 2016 8:30 am EST We’re big fans of Steve Jobs at the site. Director Danny Boyle’s (Slumdog Millionaire) unconventional biopic was no. 5 on our top 15 of 2015, and for good reason. The breathlessly paced, intricately structured, and impeccably acted drama avoided so many pitfalls that plague modern bio films. Steve Jobs didn’t leave much of a dent at the box-office, but no matter, the film is coming to Blu-Ray, meaning more people will discover screenwriter Aaron Sorkin’s drama soon....

‘Suicide Squad’ Character Posters: The Worst Heroes Get The Best Posters By Ethan Anderton/June 21, 2016 3:30 pm EST Character posters are usually an obligatory part of the marketing for any blockbuster. Most of the time they’re boring and unnecessary, but sometimes the marketing department actually puts some creative into their poster campaign and we get some character posters worth framing. Thankfully, that’s exactly what has happened with some new Suicide Squad character posters....

‘The Connection’ Red-Band Trailer: Jean Dujardin Leads A French Spin On ‘The French Connection’ By Angie Han/March 6, 2015 12:00 pm EST The Connection seems like the vaguest of titles, but once you realize what the film is about it’s actually pretty perfect. It’s a new spin on William Friedkin’s The French Connection, with the “French” part omitted because, well, the film is already French.Jean Dujardin plays Pierre Michel, a real-life Marseilles magistrate....

‘Tomorrowland’ Trailer: Brad Bird’s Sci-Fi Disney Adventure Finally Shows Its Stuff By Germain Lussier/March 9, 2015 11:03 am EST In the past few years, few movies have been as secretive as Tomorrowland. Directed by Brad Bird and co-written by Damon Lindelof, almost everything about the sci-fi Disney adventure has been mysterious. Is Disneyland part of it? What’s the 1952 box? Who is The Optimist? How does The World’s Fair fit in?...

A New ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ Game Tasks You With Surviving In An Underground Bunker By Jacob Hall/Feb. 23, 2016 1:30 pm EST I have mixed feelings on viral marketing in general, mainly because I went in real deep with the Cloverfield online campaign back in 2007 and 2008, only to realize that all of those faux websites and fake news stories ultimately had little to do with the final film. And yet, I cannot deny that Bad Robot (and whoever they hire to help with the heavy lifting) does this kind of stuff better than anyone else....

Iron Man May Disappear Whenever Robert Downey Jr. Is Done With The Role By Ethan Anderton/March 18, 2016 11:00 am EST Downey is contracted for The Avengers 3, but when that contract was signed, the movie wasn’t split into two parts. So we’re not sure yet if he’ll be partaking in both parts of The Avengers: Infinity War. But beyond that, Downey doesn’t have any more Marvel Studios movies left in his contract....
