See How The Animatronic Apatosaurus Was Created For ‘Jurassic World’ By Ethan Anderton/June 21, 2015 12:00 pm EST While there’s a lot of love out there for Jurassic World, one can’t help but wish that the massive blockbuster sequel was a little more loyal to the original Jurassic Park by having more practical dinosaur effects. Digital effects bring most of the dinosaurs to life in Jurassic World, but at least one pivotal scene made use of an impressive animatronic apatosaurus, for what is probably the most believable dinosaur sequence in the entire movie....

Not much is known in the way of specifics about the film, but the title was revealed in an image at CinemaCon that featured the three stars in super ugly Christmas sweaters (or, in Rogen’s case, a Hanukkah sweater) posing for a Christmas card like they’re rappers....

Superman’ Trailer’s Metropolis Destruction By Ethan Anderton/July 21, 2015 8:30 am EST Now a fan has edited together parts of the scene from Man of Steel with footage from the Batman v. Superman trailer to help paint a slightly more complete image of what we’ll see unfold on the screen next spring.

‘Baywatch’ First Look: You’ll Want Dwayne Johnson And Zac Efron To Save Your Life By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 23, 2016 8:30 am EST Since the main reason for the popularity of Baywatch back in the 90s was the slow-motion running of Pamela Anderson and the rest of her lifeguard crew, you would think that the first look from the forthcoming film adaptation would employ the same tactics. But this is 2016, and the big stars of the Baywatch movie are Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron....

But now he’s ready to mix things up....

‘Imperium’ Trailer: Daniel Radcliffe Has To Convince People He’s A White Supremacist By Angie Han/July 5, 2016 11:30 am EST You’ve gotta hand it to Daniel Radcliffe. While he’ll probably always best be known for playing the Boy Who Lived, he’s made some really interesting and eclectic choices post-Harry Potter.

‘Mr. Holmes’ Trailer: A Legend Wrestles With His Own Fictions By Russ Fischer/May 5, 2015 5:00 pm EST Being famous kinda sucks sometimes, especially if you’re the most famous detective in the land. Sherlock Holmes seems to be more perturbed by fame and the misunderstandings that come with it than his is by the encroachment of old age in this Mr Holmes trailer. Ian McKellen plays the celebrated sleuth in this take on the character’s later days from director Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Gods and Monsters)....

‘Outlander’ Season 2 Teaser Trailer: Let’s Talk About The Future By Jack Giroux/Dec. 1, 2015 4:30 pm EST One of the most enjoyable panels I attended this year at Comic Con was for Starz’s Outlander. I’ve never seen an episode of the show, but what I saw at Comic Con, including its insanely charming cast and writers and the footage they previewed, made me want to finally watch the show. The Outlander season 2 trailer makes me, once again, regret I haven’t watched season 1 yet....

‘The X-Files’ Teaser Trailers Reveal More Mulder And Scully By Peter Sciretta/July 24, 2015 7:00 am EST The X-Files Teaser Trailer Russ Fischer’s original post from July 17th 2015 follows, along with the first teaser trailer for the new edition of The X-Files: This new X-Files teaser footage is brief, but packed with some signature elements that make it feel like a longer clip than it really is. In a 15-second blast, you’ll see Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) as well as a couple bodies being dragged in a bloody trail, some evidence of a weird medical procedure or experiment, and even a desecration of Mulder’s familiar “I Want to Believe” poster....

Last night, the network released a nearly four-minute clip showing off the martial arts prowess of its lead character Sunny, a mysterious warrior played by Daniel Wu....
