Joe Dante To Direct Supernatural Thriller ‘Labirinthus’ By Angie Han/Oct. 20, 2015 12:30 pm EST Gremlins director Joe Dante is plenty busy, but he’s not one of those filmmakers who seems to put out a new movie every year. Burying the Ex came about five years after The Hole, which arrived six years after Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and so on. So it’s exciting to hear he’s wasting no time getting started on his next project, Labirintus....

Keira Knightley To Play ‘Catherine The Great’ For Director Barbra Streisand By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 19, 2016 6:00 am EST Last December, we got word that Barbra Streisand was considering a return to directing for the first time in 20 years, after helming The Mirror Has Two Faces in 1996.

Lars Von Trier May Still Release 5 1/2 Cut Of ‘Nymphomaniac’; See Two More Posters By Angie Han/Nov. 20, 2013 5:45 pm EST Last week, producer Peter Aalbaek Jensen revealed that the cut of Nymphomaniac that’d make it to Danish theaters wouldn’t be the one Lars von Trier wanted to make. His director’s cut was a butt-numbing 5 1/2 hours long, prompting distributors to whittle it down to a more marketable four hours....

LOL: Paul Rudd Can’t Stop Farting During ‘Ant-Man’ Interview By Ethan Anderton/July 2, 2015 6:00 am EST In Marvel’s latest feature film Ant-Man, our titular hero has the power to shrink down to the size of an ant, not to mention being able to communicate with the little insects, and also use their impressive strength. But the film’s star, Paul Rudd, has another super power, but it’s pretty gross. In a recent interview, the star of Anchorman and This is 40 simply couldn’t stop farting....

New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Teaser: Chewie, We’re Home By Russ Fischer/April 16, 2015 11:05 am EST A second Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer is here! The first teaser, released last November, was only an 88-second tease that introduced a few characters, such as John Boyega’s Finn, Daisy Ridley’s Rey, Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron, and the mysterious lightsaber-wielding Kylo Ren. But what about this one? Well, we see a couple old faces, for one....

New Line Will Make A New ‘Shaft’ Movie By Russ Fischer/Feb. 18, 2015 4:30 pm EST Shaft was born in the early ’70s, when Richard Roundtree played the seductive and violent private detective John Shaft for director Gordon Parks. The story continued in two sequels and a short TV series, then was picked up years later, in 2000, when Samuel L. Jackson played John Shaft’s nephew, with the character at the center of a film directed by John Singleton....

The script has undergone some revisions over the past year, but we keep hearing that the film will shoot soon. Now there’s some real news, as the beginnings of a deal have been revealed that will see the new Pee-Wee Herman movie as a Netflix production, and therefore likely an exclusive to the streaming service....

Page 2: Tron, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Whiplash, Alien, Steve Buscemi, Interstellar, Harry Potter, LotR By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 10, 2015 3:30 pm EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

Paramount Rebooting ‘The Saint’ As A Movie By Angie Han/June 17, 2016 2:30 pm EST In Hollywood’s ongoing quest to revive any and every existing I.P., they’ve dug down deep and come up with an 88-year-old vigilante. Paramount is reportedly developing a feature adaptation of The Saint, which Gen Xers and older Millennials might remember as that 1997 thriller starring Val Kilmer, Boomers might remember as that 1960s TV series starring Roger Moore, and their parents and grandparents might remember as a series of books by Leslie Charteris, a radio program, and/or a series of movies....

Rumor: Richard Linklater’s New Film Gets A New Van Halen-Inspired Title By Russ Fischer/June 1, 2015 11:00 am EST Richard Linklater shot his next film earlier this year. Originally called That’s What I’m Talking About — that was the film’s logo, via sales art, above – the movie now reportedly has a new name. (So that sales art is out of date; we’re giving it one last run now.) Given that Linklater’s films often use contemporary rock tunes as a major part of their makeup, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to find that the new title is borrowed from a Van Halen song....

Simon Pegg Gains Godlike Powers In ‘Absolutely Anything’ Trailer By Angie Han/May 4, 2015 7:00 am EST If you’re a superhero, the saying goes that with great power comes with great responsibility. If you’re a supervillain, you’re terrible proof of the truism that absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you’re just some ordinary Joe, though, total power first offers an excuse to make a predictable dick joke. That’s the takeaway from the first Absolutely Anything trailer, in which Neil (Simon Pegg) discovers he suddenly has the power to do, well, absolutely anything....

Superhero Bits: Dazzler In X-Men: Apocalypse, Stark Industries Xbox One, Dead Robin & More By Ethan Anderton/April 29, 2016 5:00 pm EST Would Captain America’s shield still be bulletproof if it were made of titanium? How can you get an an official Stark Industries Xbox One with an arc reactor? Which other Marvel hero does Tom Holland want to stop by Spider-Man: Homecoming? Is a recently revealed Dazzler Easter egg all we’ll see of the pop star superhero in X-Men: Apocalypse?...

Tom Cruise Held His Breath For 6-Plus Minutes In ‘Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation’ By Germain Lussier/June 5, 2015 2:15 pm EST With each Mission: Impossible movie, Tom Cruise tries to raise the bar.

Tony Todd Will Voice A Villain In ‘The Flash’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 31, 2015 1:30 pm EST The villain cast of The Flash is evolving, and now Tony Todd is part of the ensemble. But he’s playing an interesting role in the show, because at this point we won’t actually see his face on screen. We will hear his voice, however, and that’s not because he’s playing some mysterious new CG character....

VOTD: ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Meets ‘Jurassic World’ In ‘Jurassic Galaxy’ Trailer Mash-Up By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 20, 2015 5:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

Watch: Andy Wachowski And Lana Wachowski Give 100 Minute-Long Interview By Germain Lussier/Jan. 15, 2015 5:00 am EST When Cloud Atlas, my favorite movie of 2012 was released, I was given the amazing opportunity to talk to the directors. That meant Tom Tykwer, Andy and Lana Wachowski. Tykwer is great but talking to the Wachowski’s was the unique thrill. The once reclusive filmmaking team behind The Matrix were finally speaking to the press after years out of the spotlight....
