Miles Teller In Talks To Star In Marc Webb’s ‘The Only Living Boy In New York’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 4, 2014 1:30 pm EST Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa are producing. They originally tipped news of Webb’s potential involvement with the film back in 2012, before the director did The Amazing Spider-Man 2. That sequel put off any potential indie work at the time. In 2011 and 2012, Logan Lerman was attached to star, but things have clearly changed....

Netflix Announces Flixtape, A Customizable Mixtape Of Your Favorite TV Shows By Ethan Anderton/July 18, 2016 4:00 am EST Last year, Netflix came up with some strange technological innovations such as a real Netflix and chill button and toasty socks that pause whatever you’re watching if you fall asleep. Sadly, they didn’t sell these items, but they provided detailed instructions for the more engineering savvy users out there to craft themselves....

New ‘The Jungle Book’ Images Offer An Astonishing Before-And-After Look At Two Scenes By Jacob Hall/April 29, 2016 11:30 am EST Yesterday, I wrote about a behind-the-scenes video that showcased just how much of Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book was created in post-production and I was just bowled over by it. It’s one thing to hear that a movie is set entirely in digital environments (because computers can do anything and so on), but it’s another thing to actually see the before and after (because computers can do anything and holy cow)....

New ‘The Little Prince’ Trailer Arrives With A Netflix Release Date By Jacob Hall/May 26, 2016 2:00 pm EST Despite being a critically well-regarded international hit with a recognizable line-up of voice talent that took home the Best Animated Feature Film trophy at the César Awards, earlier this year, The Little Prince has hit a few speed bumps on its way to American theaters. Originally scheduled for release on March 18, 2016, Paramount abruptly pulled the film from its schedule on March 11, with no explanation given....

By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 5, 2016 9:00 am EST If you thought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 was already crowded with our four heroes in a half-shell, their reporter pal April (Megan Fox), vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), supervillain Shredder (now played by Brian Tee), scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and the arrival of Rocksteady (WWE’s Sheamus) and Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams), you may not like this latest update. Michael Bay has confirmed that one more villain from the TMNT universe will make their big screen debut in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, and it’s one that some fans have wanted to see for awhile....

Report: ‘Star Wars Episode VIII’ Adds Gugu Mbatha-Raw [UPDATED] By Angie Han/Oct. 7, 2015 6:08 pm EST UPDATE: Collider is now reporting that Gugu Mbatha-Raw has indeed been cast in Star Wars Episode VIII. Disney has yet to confirm her casting, and no details about her character have been revealed. Original story from 10/2/15 follows. As if that earlier Star Wars Episode VIII shortlist — which included Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany, Jane the Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez, and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’s Olivia Cooke – weren’t intriguing enough, a new report claims there’s one more name in the mix....

Russell Crowe To Enter The Universal Monster Movie Universe In ‘The Mummy’ By Ethan Anderton/May 4, 2016 2:30 pm EST At one time, it was believed that Dracula Untold would mark the beginning of a Universal movie monster universe, inspired by all the classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Wolfman and more. However, since that movie tanked at the box office, I’m willing to bet it won’t be mentioned in Universal’s new efforts to make the monster cinematic universe happen....

Sam Raimi To Direct ‘A Prophet’ Remake By Angie Han/Jan. 23, 2016 11:00 am EST Variety reports Raimi is in talks to direct the film, which is being produced by Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe.

See The Tech Concepts Powering The Droid BB-8 In ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ By Russ Fischer/April 17, 2015 1:00 pm EST Everyone fell in love with the droid BB-8 at the Force Awakens panel that opened Star Wars Celebration yesterday. Seeing the droid live on stage was a huge treat, especially as many people had never considered the idea that it might be a practical effect. We know that part of the work for BB-8 was done by Neal Scanlan, but Kathleen Kennedy also mentioned that Bob Iger of Disney had found the company whose tech made the character possible....

Sony Opens The Book On A ‘Goosebumps’ Sequel By Angie Han/April 25, 2016 1:30 pm EST At this point, it’s a given that if a studio movie based on a familiar property attains even a modest level of success, someone, somewhere has started thinking about a sequel. After all, Hollywood execs are in the business of making money — and if they’ve already shelled out huge sums of cash to scoop up a familiar brand, milking it for all it’s worth just makes financial sense....

‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Sword Of Destiny’ Trailer: Netflix Is Pushing This One Hard By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 24, 2016 10:00 am EST For some reason, Netflix doesn’t like to advertise their movies as far in advance as most movie studios. That’s why over the past three months we’ve gotten a new trailer each month. Maybe they’ve figured out that the audience remembers the movie is coming to Netflix if it’s advertised closer to the streaming date than if they spread out the trailers....

‘Disorder’ Trailer: Another Movie With Matthias Schoenaerts We Want To See By Jack Giroux/Jan. 26, 2016 11:30 am EST Disorder premiered last year at the Cannes Film Festival and Alice Winocour’s (co-writer of Mustang) drama currently has a 100% on Rottentomatoes. Considering the positive reviews and the actors involved, Diane Kruger and Matthias Schoenaerts, hopefully we’ll see the film, which has yet to be picked up for distribution, sometime this year in the states....

‘Dredd’ Producer Releasing ‘Dark Judges’ As Free Online Miniseries By Russ Fischer/Oct. 6, 2014 4:45 pm EST The line between “official” and “unofficial” gets weird with this announcement of an online Judge Dredd series, called Dark Judges, which seems to be meant as something between a sequel to the 2012 film and a “thank you” to passionate Dredd fans. Producer Adi Shankar helped make Dredd as a passion project. Now he is the one backing the online series....

By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 10, 2015 10:30 am EST First of all, the film landed at #2 at the box office behind Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation in its second week of release. It pulled in just over $26 million domestically and another $34 million internationally for a total of $60 million, hardly a runaway hit, especially for a comic book movie with a built-in fanbase, even outside of he Marvel cinematic universe....
