X-Men TV Series ‘Legion’ Will Take In A Parallel Universe To The Movies By Fred Topel/Jan. 16, 2016 1:00 pm EST After the panel, Landgraf added a few more details about Legion. They are currently looking at characters we have not yet seen in X-Men movies, although it is still early enough that that could change by the time it is produced. Legion is essentially present day but perhaps a few years in the past....
‘Eye In The Sky’ Trailer: Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, And Aaron Paul Oversee A Drone Strike By Angie Han/Dec. 3, 2015 11:30 am EST Traditional war movies are still around, but as drones increasingly replace or complement soldiers on the ground, real wars are looking less and less like them. Over the past few years we’ve seen a few films attempt to grapple with the new reality, and the latest to try is Gavin Hood’s Eye in the Sky....
‘Ghostbusters’ TV Spots: Action & Visuals Continue To Shine As Comedy Falters By Ethan Anderton/June 23, 2016 1:30 pm EST With just three weeks left until the new Ghostbusters hits theaters, plenty of TV spots are started to hit the air, trying to pull in as many moviegoers as possible. There’s no doubt the movie is going to make some bank in its opening weekend, but will it be the hit that Sony Pictures hopes it will be?...
‘Song One’ Trailer: Anne Hathaway Finds Love In Brooklyn By Angie Han/Nov. 12, 2014 12:45 pm EST Anne Hathaway earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her showstopping solo in Les Misérables, but in her new movie Song One she’s the one watching in awe as someone else provides the music. Kate Barker-Froyland’s indie romance stars Hathaway as an anthropology Ph.D. candidate who returns to her estranged family in Brooklyn after a car accident puts her brother (Ben Rosenfield) in a coma....

Originally, Martha Marcy May Marlene director Sean Durkin was working on the series, but he’s since fallen away. In 2013, last year’s Fantastic Four reboot writer Jeremy Slater was hired to script the adaptation, and he’s actually stuck with the project that will be executive produced by James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall....
‘Victoria’ Trailer: This Action Film Is (Really) One Single Shot By Russ Fischer/Feb. 17, 2015 11:00 am EST The action film Victoria premiered recently in Berlin and immediately drew attention for being a true single-take project. The film, by director Sebastian Schipper and cinematographer Sturla Brandth Grøvlen, won an Outstanding Artistic Contribution Silver Bear, which was handed to Grovelen. While handing over the trophy jury president Darren Aronofsky said “This film rocked my world,” which might be all you need to read....
Cool Stuff: ‘Star Trek’ 50th Anniversary Blu-Ray Set Has Everything A Trekkie Would Want By Ethan Anderton/June 8, 2016 12:45 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, and while Paramount Pictures is already celebrating by releasing Star Trek Beyond in theaters later this summer, there’s is much more good stuff in store for all you Trekkies out there who have loved the series for five decades and all the little Starfleet nerds you’ve created during those years as well....
Darren Aronofsky In Early Talks To Direct Channing Tatum As Evel Knievel By Russ Fischer/Sept. 15, 2015 5:30 am EST Evel Knievel was the prototype stuntman for the current age, a media-savvy showman who rode a devil-may-care attitude (and a willingness to endure pain) to fame and fortune. His rise and fall story is unique in its specifics, and woefully pedestrian in its arc of human foibles. Who else has attempted to ride a steam-powered “rocket cycle” across a mile-wide canyon?...
In Space, No One Can Hear These New ‘Alien: Covenant’ Cast Members Scream By Jacob Hall/Feb. 25, 2016 2:30 pm EST With cameras set to roll on Alien: Covenant soon, it looks like the final pieces of this mysterious project are starting to fall into place. Director Ridley Scott’s follow-up to 2012’s Prometheus has added four new names to its cast, which means that we probably now have a list of actors who we’ll get to see eviscerated by Xenomorphs in 2017....
Jennifer Lawrence May Reunite With Francis Lawrence For ‘Red Sparrow’ By Angie Han/Sept. 14, 2015 7:30 am EST The Hunger Games franchise ends with Mockingjay – Part 2 this fall, but director Francis Lawrence and star Jennifer Lawrence’s professional relationship may continue.

New ‘Assassin’s Creed’ Image Reminds You That This Is Actually A Science Fiction Movie By Jacob Hall/March 21, 2016 8:33 am EST The Assassin’s Creed video game franchise may have suffered over the past few entries thanks to oppressive annualizing that forced developers to prioritize speed over quality, but the core of the series remains the perfect shade of silly. Each game puts you in control of a modern character who, through wacky science fiction nonsense that is never really explained, is able to tap into his “genetic memories” and relive the lives of his ancestors....
New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Posters: Han, Leia And The Rest Of The Crew Are Ready For Their Close-Ups, Mr. Abrams By Jacob Hall/Nov. 4, 2015 9:32 am EST Just when you thought it was safe to take a breath and think about something other than Star Wars: The Force Awakens for a few minutes, a big batch of character posters have arrived. These five posters, depicting Han Solo, Leia Organa, Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren, may not be as classical as Drew Struzan’s poster or as colorful and eye-popping as the main one-sheet, but they get their point across quite nicely: here are five characters, both new and old, from the new Star Wars movie....
New Harry Potter Theory Suggests Dumbledore Represents Death By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 6, 2015 1:00 pm EST I enjoy reading and considering fan theories, even when they are usually crazy and probably not the intention of the artist. Theories provide a different prospective in which to look at art which we have already considered. The latest fan theory I have come across is about the Harry Potter series. The theory suggests that Professor Dumbledore represents Death....

Even before Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit theaters last December, Oscar Isaac was already a pretty hot commodity. Leading up to his role in the massive sci-fi franchise, he had already made waves with outstanding performances in Ex Machina, A Most Violent Year and Inside Llewyn Davis, quickly turning him into a coveted talent on the big screen....
Producer Explains Why ‘Dredd 2’ Probably Won’t Happen Without More Star Power By Russ Fischer/March 6, 2015 11:30 am EST “The guy who dresses up like the Crow is going to give you a lesson in film finance.” Producer Adi Shankar is a dedicated self-promoter; how many other young producers are increasingly recognizable to people outside the film business? Shankar is back with a new video, and he’s going to tell Dredd fans something they probably don’t want to hear: as much as the fanbase may want to see Dredd 2, it probably won’t happen without the addition of a major star to help boost international sales....
Rumor: Star Wars’ First LGBT Character Moff Mors To Appear In ‘Rogue One’ By Angie Han/March 27, 2015 9:00 am EST Earlier this month we reported the official Star Wars canon would get its first LGBT character in the form of Moff Mors.

Sylvester Stallone Seems To Have A Role In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy 2’, But Who Is He Playing? By Ethan Anderton/March 11, 2016 11:00 am EST Just earlier this week, one of our editions of Superhero Bits featured a rumor that Sylvester Stallone may have a role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The actor had been spotted staying at the same hotel that at which the cast and crew of the Marvel Studios sequel has been put up, and he apparently left the hotel in a car usually designated to take Chris Pratt to and from set....

TMNT Director Attached To Arthur And Lancelot Movie With ‘Unforgiven’-Like Tone By Russ Fischer/March 20, 2015 2:05 pm EST Guy Ritchie is currently making his King Arthur movie, called Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur, but in accordance with the way things are done now, that’s not the only Arthur story in the works. Jonathan Liebesman, who directed last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is now attached to make Man At Arms, which is being described as an Arthurian story filtered through Unforgiven, with Lancelot as the main character....
