‘Cabin Fever’ Remake Will Use Eli Roth’s Original Script By Russ Fischer/Oct. 20, 2014 5:00 pm EST We’re far enough away from some of the big horror moments of the last decade that reboot time is coming around for some. Cabin Fever never really caught on as a franchise — Eli Roth’s debut film made his career as a filmmaker, but the Cabin Fever films that followed have, er, struggled. (Ti West lobbied to have his name removed from the direct sequel after producers took control of the edit, and the prequel Patient Zero has had a low-key release....

‘Joy’ Trailer: Jennifer Lawrence Shines In Her Latest Team-Up With David O. Russell By Angie Han/Oct. 21, 2015 6:30 am EST Watch the Joy trailer after the jump. Russell and screenwriter Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids) have given Lawrence a meaty role to sink her teeth into, and it looks like she really tears into it. Most actors would be rightfully anxious about exiting two long-running, lucrative franchises (The Hunger Games and X-Men) at the same time, but something tells me Lawrence will be just fine....

‘Mr. Robot’ Season 2 Gets More Episodes, An Aftershow, And A New Trailer By Angie Han/June 23, 2016 2:00 pm EST If you’ve been waiting since last September for Mr. Robot to return, your patience is about to be richly rewarded.

‘Sleeping With Other People’ Trailer: Jason Sudeikis Shows Alison Brie Some Special Moves By Ethan Anderton/July 31, 2015 1:30 pm EST One of my favorite films from this year’s Sundance Film Festival was the raunchy romantic comedy Sleeping with Other People, starring Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie. Thankfully, IFC Films picked up the indie from the festival, and you’ll be able to see it in theaters in just a few weeks....

‘Suicide Squad’ International Trailer: Let’s Do Something Fun, Now With More Footage By Ethan Anderton/March 27, 2016 6:44 pm EST If you’re one of the DC Comics fans who ended up disappointed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the good news is that there’s one more film you can look forward to later this year that will expand the cinematic universe and might lessen the blow. Suicide Squad is bringing together a bunch of villains and nefarious criminals from the comic books for a ragtag assembly of unlikely heroes who are tasked with unsavory missions, only so that if they go wrong, no one respectable can be blamed....

‘Time To Choose’ Trailer: Oscar Winner Charles Ferguson Tackles Climate Change By Ethan Anderton/April 24, 2016 10:00 am EST One of the most divisive issues among politicians is that of global warming. There’s plenty of evidence out there to point to the environment being affected by humanity, and that’s exactly what Oscar-winning director Charles Ferguson (No End in Sight, Inside Job) wants to call attention to. Charles Ferguson was said to previously be working on a Hillary Clinton documentary, but Huffington Post recently highlighted the difficulty he had trying to make the movie, which sounds slightly unsettling....

By Ethan Anderton/May 6, 2016 11:00 am EST Over the past few years, Nicolas Cage hasn’t been making very good choices when it comes to the movies in which he chooses to star. It’s a bummer that the man who starred in the likes of Leaving Las Vegas, The Rock, Raising Arizona and Face/Off has stooped so low as to star in a pandering adaptation of Left Behind, not to mention the countless other forgettable action thrillers....

Colin Trevorrow And Chris Pratt Talk ‘Jurassic World’ Expectations, ‘Back To The Future’ And More By Ethan Anderton/June 19, 2015 10:00 am EST It’s been just one week since Jurassic World hit theaters, and everyone still can’t stop talking about the triumphant return of dinosaurs to the big screen. Whether you liked the movie or not, you can’t deny that it’s quite the box office milestone. There’s a chance it could take the top spot at the box office again this weekend unless the family-drawing power of Pixar has anything to say about it....

Mahershala Ali Is Cottonmouth In ‘Luke Cage’ While ‘Daredevil’ Adds Stephen Rider By Russ Fischer/Sept. 4, 2015 6:00 am EST Casting for Luke Cage, from Marvel and Netflix, has really exploded over the last few days. We already knew Mike Coulter would play the title character — he also appears in the series Jessica Jones, which has finished shooting — and that Alfre Woodard would play a major character. Then Theo Rossi was cast as Shades, Rosario Dawson’s character Claire Temple was added to the roster, and Simone Missick was added as Misty Knight....

Michael Shannon Will Also Star In Guillermo Del Toro’s Supernatural Cold War Romance By Angie Han/May 9, 2016 10:00 am EST An earlier report indicated that the story would involve a janitor (Hawkins) who falls in love with a merman and frees him from the lab where he is being kept. However, those details remain unconfirmed at this time. In any case, a supernatural drama set against historical backdrops should be right in del Toro’s wheelhouse, after films like Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone....

Rumor: Steven Spielberg Trying To Convince Gene Wilder To Un-Retire By Angie Han/Aug. 11, 2015 4:00 am EST Gene Wilder hasn’t been seen onscreen since an Emmy-winning guest spot on Will & Grace in 2003, and in 2008 he publicly announced his retirement. He’s said he’d be willing to return for Mel Brooks, but otherwise it’d probably take something huge to get him to un-retire. Like, perhaps… a Steven Spielberg movie?...

Sequels Live, Die, Live Again: George Miller Will Make More ‘Mad Max’ Movies After All By Jacob Hall/Jan. 14, 2016 10:30 am EST Let’s just cut to the chase: the internet can be a big, stupid echo chamber where the wrong information travels like like flames through a dry forest. Or, in this case, like flames across a Warboy convoy soaked in precious guzzoline. Director George Miller has been talking about a making a fifth film in his iconic post-apocalyptic action franchise since before Mad Max: Fury Road came out....

The ‘Transformers’ Franchise Won’t Lose Those Pesky Humans By Jack Giroux/Oct. 28, 2015 7:30 am EST Do people go to the Transformers movies to understand “the human experience,” to see what it truly means to be alive? Probably not, but the four Transformers movies have focused quite a bit on its human protagonists, which hasn’t always satisfied fans of the series. The franchise is expanding with spinoffs and animated movies, which will, once again, follow the point-of-view of the humans....

The Hotel That Inspired ‘The Shining’ Is Building A Horror Museum By Jacob Hall/Oct. 23, 2015 8:30 am EST You’ve got to hand it to the Stanley Hotel. They took the fact that their establishment was the inspiration for the haunted hotel that drives people crazy and forces them to murder their families in Stephen King’s The Shining and turned it into a good thing. The historic hotel has become a destination for horror fans, who flock to Estes Park, Colorado to stay in supposedly haunted rooms, go on ghost tours, and attend the Stanley Film Festival, which showcases horror films of all kinds....
