But here’s another spot of good news for all you mutant lovers: FX has just given a series order to Legion, an X-Men TV spinoff from Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley....

By Angie Han/July 17, 2015 9:00 am EST The fee, $15/month, remains the same as HBO Now expands to non-Apple devices. For that price, subscribers get access to over 2,000 HBO original titles and specials, plus a rotation of non-HBO films. It’s the same lineup offered on HBO Go, for customers who subscribe to HBO through cable and satellite services. So far, the new service has been a huge success. BTIG Research (via Variety) estimates HBO Now has signed between 850,000 and 1 million subscribers between April, when it launched, and the end of June....

He’s just been set as the lead of Future Man, a half-hour comedy pilot for Hulu from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Michael Fassbender Could Be Steve Jobs For Danny Boyle By Russ Fischer/Nov. 4, 2014 12:30 pm EST When Aaron Sorkin revealed that his Steve Jobs script, which will be directed by Danny Boyle, features Jobs in pretty much every frame of the movie, we started to think about the movie in new terms. Clearly a film with a Sorkin script that has attracted directors such as David Fincher and Danny Boyle is likely to be a showcase for whatever actor takes the job....

The former was one of the earliest scream queens in cinema’s history while the latter gained the status in the 70s and 80s, only to reprise it in the late 90s with Halloween: H20....

VOTD: ‘The Graduate’ Director Mike Nichols Gets His Own ‘American Masters’ Episode By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 1, 2016 7:15 am EST The Graduate director Mike Nichols takes the spotlight for this episode of the series that runs through his life and career. For those who may not know, Nichols and May were actually a Grammy-winning improvisational comedy duo in the 1950s and 1960s, so there’s no better person to provide an intimate profile of the iconic filmmaker....

VOTD: How Many People Has James Bond Killed? By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 9, 2015 5:00 am EST With six different iterations of 007 spanning 24 films, it should come as no surprise to anyone that James Bond has killed a lot of people. Whether it’s with his trusty Walther PPK of the many gadgets that Q bestows upon him, wherever James Bond goes, death will inevitably follow. But just how many people has 007 killed?...

VOTD: Rare Behind The Scenes Footage From ‘Back To The Future Part III’ By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 6, 2015 5:30 am EST Yesterday brought a lot of fun updates for fans of Back to the Future, from the forthcoming arrival of Pepsi Perfect (in a very limited supply) to a trailer for Jaws 19 to the arrival of skateboards modeled after the iconic hoverboards from the film, just as the word for the floating device has been recognized by the dictionary....

Watch Michael Bay Explain How He Shot ‘Transformers: Age Of Extinction’ By Russ Fischer/Jan. 15, 2015 12:30 pm EST We can accept that Transformers: Age of Extinction is no good and at the same time take pleasure in watching Michael Bay direct his cast and crew as they perform elaborately choreographed antics for his camera. In a new ten-minute video, Bay explains how he shot a number of different sequences in the latest Transformers film, and the techniques are all over the map....

‘Annabelle 2’ Is On The Way, So Burn Your Doll Collection Now By Jacob Hall/Oct. 19, 2015 9:00 am EST Annabelle was a pretty solid little horror movie whose greatest sin was being a spin-off of the far superior The Conjuring. It was also a massive hit, grossing $256 million worldwide against a budget of only $6.5 million. The fact that we’re getting news of a sequel now and not a year ago is shocking....

‘Bleed For This’ Trailer: Miles Teller Makes One Of The Greatest Comebacks In Boxing History By Ethan Anderton/June 29, 2016 10:00 am EST There are plenty of sports dramas about boxers fighting against all odds to become champions of the world. But the true story of Vinny Pazienza, better known as “The Pazmanian Devil,” is one of the most harrowing you’ll ever hear. Vinny Pazienza had a promising boxing career after winning the light middleweight title, but then a car accident left him with a broken neck and the possibility of never being able to walk again....

‘Clown’ Trailer: Everybody Loves A Clown, So Why Don’t You? By Jacob Hall/May 25, 2016 11:30 am EST In the years since he filmed the horror movie Clown, director Jon Watts went on to make the critically acclaimed thriller Cop Car and snag the director’s chair on the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming. So I could open this post about the latest Clown trailer by making a bad joke about this movie following a perfectly ordinary man who gains extraordinary abilities after being bitten by a radioactive clown, but I would never subject you to such lackluster comedy....

‘Don’t Breathe’ Trailer: Here’s The Fede Alvarez Horror Movie That Scared SXSW Silly By Angie Han/May 13, 2016 8:00 am EST Between Matt Murdock and Arya Stark, you’d think people would have gotten the message by now: underestimate the blind at your own peril. And after Avatar, everyone should definitely know better than to dismiss Stephen Lang. But perhaps the characters of Fede Alvarez’s Don’t Breathe don’t get the same pop culture we do, because they make the very, very terrible mistake of trying to rob a blind man played by Stephen Lang, with predictably upsetting results....

‘Heroes Reborn’ Super Bowl Commercial: The Superhero Show Is Back By Germain Lussier/Feb. 1, 2015 6:38 pm EST 2015 brings the return of the hit superhero show, Heroes. The new version is called Heroes Reborn and casting has begun to speed up for the show, which is expected to air later this year.

‘Inside Out’ Honest Trailer: If This Were About A Guy, It Would Be A Porno By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 28, 2015 6:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Pixar Animation came back with sweet, emotional vengeance this year, after not releasing a film in 2014, with the touching and heartfelt Inside Out. The film has given feelings to feelings, but just because it’s a beautiful story that audiences and critics alike have fallen in love with, that doesn’t mean it’s safe from becoming the target of Honest Trailers....

‘Marvel Vs DC’ Movie Trailer: Watch The Epic Superhero Mashup We’ll Never See By Germain Lussier/Dec. 22, 2014 12:00 pm EST Fans can debate for hours on end whether or not Spider-man will crossover with The Avengers, X-Men with the Fantastic Four or any number of other combinations. One we know for a fact we are never going to see is Marvel and DC: Batman fighting Wolverine. Superman battling Iron Man....

‘Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children’ Trailer: Like A Tim Burton-Style X-Men By Angie Han/June 20, 2016 7:00 am EST The last time Tim Burton and Eva Green teamed up, we got the fairly awful Dark Shadows adaptation. To be sure, the film’s failures weren’t Green’s fault — indeed, she was one of the few bright spots in it. Still, here’s hoping their new collaboration will turn out better. Based on the bestselling novel by Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children stars Asa Butterfield as a seemingly ordinary teenager who discovers a hidden refuge for “peculiars” — people with extraordinary powers....
