Check Out New Footage In ‘The Grandmaster 3D’ Trailers By Russ Fischer/Dec. 31, 2014 11:00 am EST There is now a fourth version of Wong Kar Wai’s most recent film, The Grandmaster.

Jared Leto May Join ‘Suicide Squad’ As The Joker By Russ Fischer/Nov. 7, 2014 4:36 pm EST After the defining performance from Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight, it’s easy to understand why Warner Bros. and the team assembling DC Comics movies at the studio would be wary about writing a new Joker role for a new actor.
