Although the director dropped out of college his sophomore year after landing a dream job at Universal Studios, he ultimately returned to Cal State University and earned his bachelor’s degree, long after he had established himself as one of the most successful filmmakers in the industry....

‘Ant-Man’ Easter Egg: Did You Catch This Reference To The Original Live-Action Ant-Man? By Angie Han/July 20, 2015 2:00 pm EST Ant-Man is the first and so far only feature film about the titular superhero, but it’s not the first time the character has ever been portrayed onscreen. And if you paid close attention, you might’ve noticed that the film includes a nod to the very first live-action depiction of the character — from a Saturday Night Live sketch from 1979....

‘Black Mirror’ Recruits Joe Wright, Alice Eve, And Bryce Dallas Howard To Make You Miserable For An Hour Or So By Jacob Hall/Feb. 11, 2016 9:30 am EST Black Mirror may be the most addictive and watchable exercise in misery ever devised.

‘Crimson Peak’ Trailer: Ghosts Are Real By Russ Fischer/Feb. 13, 2015 10:34 am EST Here’s the first trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak, which stars Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, and Charlie Hunnam in a gothic haunted house movie, but probably one that has some big-budget set pieces to provide scares and strangeness. A young woman (Wasikowska) is romanced by a man (Hiddleston) whose sister (Chastain) seems to have secrets, and maybe some real issues related to their cloistered upbringing in a giant old house....

‘Kingsman’ Scene-Stealer Sofia Boutella Is ‘The Mummy’ By Angie Han/Dec. 8, 2015 2:00 pm EST It’s a tired habit to describe any reboot as “not your father’s [insert name of property here].” But we can definitively say that Alex Kurtzman’s upcoming The Mummy will not be your father’s The Mummy. How do we know? Well, for starters, she’ll be a woman. The really great part, though, is which woman she’ll be....

‘Knight Of Cups’ Trailer: The Palm Trees Tell You Everything Is Possible By Jack Giroux/Nov. 24, 2015 11:30 am EST Terrence Malick’s films are often quite patient in their pacing. They aren’t exactly high-energy, unless you find excitement in staring off into the distance for long periods of time, caressing a lover’s hand or hair, or talking about what it all means to be alive. Malick’s movies are invigorating in their own way, as tone poems....

‘Masters Of The Universe’ Recruits A ‘Thor’ Writer By Russ Fischer/Aug. 20, 2015 6:30 am EST Sony and Escape Artists are still trying to bring an old series of 30-minute toy commercials back to the big screen, but somehow, cracking the approach to Masters of the Universe has proven difficult. A few approaches have been taken over the past decade, from Justin Marks’ well-regarded script Grayskull that fell by the wayside long ago, to other efforts that have also failed to hit the screen....

‘Star Trek Beyond’ Reshoots Planned For Next Week With A New Cast Member Coming Aboard By Ethan Anderton/March 12, 2016 12:00 pm EST With just four months until the film hits theaters on July 22nd, it appears Star Trek Beyond needs some adjustments before it hits the big screen.

‘Star Wars: Battlefront’ Will Spice Up Your Boring Life Says This New Trailer By Jacob Hall/Oct. 19, 2015 8:00 am EST The message of this new Star Wars: Battlefront trailer seems to be “Your life sucks, but don’t worry, a new Star Wars video game is on the way!”, which is hilarious and strangely sweet in equal measure. Pulling hard enough at your heartstrings to trigger cardiac arrest, this trailer is less about selling a brand new video game and more about selling nostalgia… which will then convince you to go out and buy that brand new video game....

‘Star Wars’ Video Essay Examines The Assault On The First Death Star By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 22, 2015 4:00 pm EST With Star Wars: The Force Awakens just landing the biggest opening weekend of all time, it’s clear that the appeal of tales from a galaxy far, far away is still high. And since the new sequel shares quite a few story beats and similarities with the original Star Wars from 1977, there’s no better time to look back at what made one of the most iconic sequences in the movie work so well....

‘The Accountant’ Trailer: Ben Affleck Cooks The Books For Some Pretty Dangerous People By Ethan Anderton/July 28, 2016 6:30 am EST Ben Affleck may be pretty unhinged as Batman in the DC Comics cinematic universe, but another Warner Bros. Pictures project sees the actor playing another character who may be just as dangerous, but in a completely different way. In The Accountant, the Oscar-winning filmmaker takes the lead role as a gifted accountant who takes care of the finances of some of the most dangerous people on the planet....

‘Unbroken’ Trailer: Jack O’Connell Won’t Give Up By Russ Fischer/Oct. 16, 2014 10:30 am EST Angelina Jolie takes her second turn as director with Unbroken, which adapts the book by Laura Hillenbrand to tell the story of Olympic competitor and WWII hero Louis Zamperini (Jack O’Connell). The film’s first trailer focused quite a bit on Zamperini’s upbringing, but this new Unbroken trailer focuses primarily on the war and its aftermath, during which Zamperini and two other Air Force crewmen survived the crash of their plane, only to be picked up by the Japanese Navy....

‘While We’re Young’ Trailer: Noah Baumbach Does Middle Age By Angie Han/Dec. 4, 2014 9:11 am EST If Noah Baumbach’s last film, Frances Ha, was a pitch-perfect examination of young adulthood, his next one, While We’re Young, looks like an equally astute look at middle adulthood. Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts star as a 40something married couple who befriend a 20something hipster couple (played by Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried). Watch the first While We’re Young trailer after the jump....

David Fincher Working With Julie Taymor And Trent Reznor On Fight Club Rock Opera By Peter Sciretta/July 14, 2015 12:30 pm EST David Fincher has talked for many years about producing a Fight Club Musical on Broadway as a means to celebrate the film’s tenth anniversary.

Elizabeth Olsen Calls Scarlet Witch The “Wild Card” Of ‘Captain America: Civil War’ By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 13, 2015 3:00 pm EST Thanks to a combination previously reported rumors, footage screened during a panel at D23 last month, and some promo artwork, we have a pretty good idea of where each of The Avengers will land in picking sides for Captain America: Civil War. However, there may be one hero who isn’t so easy to pin down....
