Rumor: ‘John Wick’ Directors Might Direct A DC Superhero Movie By Germain Lussier/April 7, 2015 11:00 am EST There are many DC superhero movies coming in the next few years, but not that many directors attached. Zack Snyder will do the Justice League films, David Ayer is doing Suicide Squad and Michelle MacLaren is directing Wonder Woman. Beyond that, the rumors have started to swirl. Apparently Phil Lord and Chris Miller are on a wish list to do The Flash....

The Return Of ‘Ghostbusters’ Ecto Cooler Seemingly Confirmed With A New Can By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 19, 2016 7:00 am EST Last November, we got word that Coca-Cola had re-registered the trademark for Ecto-Cooler, the Ghostbusters themed juice drink that was popular in the 80s and ’90s. There was no guarantee that the soft drink company would bring back the flavor that Ghostbusters fans have wanted back on shelves for years, but with a new Ghostbutsters movie on the way this summer, a nostalgic cash grab just made sense....
Video Blog And Photos From The ‘Tomorrowland’ Sneak Preview At Disneyland By Germain Lussier/April 17, 2015 6:00 am EST Where better to learn more about Tomorrowland than in Tomorrowland? At the Tomorrowland theme park at Disneyland (and soon Epcot in Disney World) Disney has opened a brand new preview of Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland. In addition to 10 minutes of footage from the 1964 World’s Fair section of the film, there’s a a mysterious selection of images before you enter the theater, followed by a prop and concept art exhibit that offers some amazing teases at what the future holds for fans come May 22....
Video Essay: The History And Power Of Color In Filmmaking By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 30, 2015 4:30 am EST Though traditionally motion pictures are presented in color, the art of filmmaking didn’t always have the advantage of telling stories with the same visual spectrum that the human eye sees the world. Early films were only available in black and white, and even after color started being used in Hollywood, it took quite awhile before black and white wasn’t the norm....
VOTD: ‘The Real Ghostbusters’ Intro Gets A Computer Animated Makeover By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 22, 2015 5:00 am EST While there’s a reboot of Ghostbusters on the way from director Paul Feig with Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones in the four main roles, there’s an animated Ghostbusters film in development at Sony Pictures as well. However, what today’s kids really need is an updated version of the animated series The Real Ghostbusters....
VOTD: Compare The First & Final Frames Of 125 Movies By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 2, 2015 5:00 am EST While there are hundreds and thousands of frames that compose dozens of shots in motion pictures, two of the most important images in every single film are the opening shot and the closing shot. The opening shot introduces you the world, characters and story you’re about to see, and it should captivate you from the beginning; the final shot is the last you’ll see of the story that just unfolded, and if it’s good, it should stay with you after the movie is over....
VOTD: Someone Edited The ‘Ghostbusters’ Video Game Into A Feature Length ‘Ghostbusters 3’ By Ethan Anderton/July 1, 2016 9:30 am EST Whether or not you’re going to see the reboot of Ghostbusters, you might be interested in seeing what it would have been like to see Ghostbusters 3 come together. Unfortunately, with Harold Ramis passed away and Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson getting up there in the years, it’s not likely to happen....
‘Legion’ Trailer: Get Your First Look At FX’s New Marvel Series From ‘Fargo’ Creator Noah Hawley [Comic-Con 2016] By Angie Han/July 23, 2016 4:50 pm EST A couple months back, FX debuted the very first photo from Legion, their upcoming series based on Marvel’s X-Men comics. At Comic-Con today, the network revealed a whole lot more. Created by Noah Hawley (Fargo), The Legion stars Dan Stevens (The Guest, Downton Abbey) as David Haller, a troubled young man who’s been diagnosed as schizophrenic....
‘Nerd Court’ Trailer: Get An Exclusive Look At Season 1 By Peter Sciretta/March 4, 2015 9:00 am EST Today Skybound is launching their new web series Nerd Court. The brainchild of Star Wars spin-off screenwriter Gary Whitta (you probably know way too much about this guy after our interview feature last week) which brings two geeks into the courtroom to plead their case in a too-nerdy-for-television argument. I got a chance to visit the set a couple months back, and it is in some ways a send-up of the courtroom reality shows that clog daytime television, but with topics you might actually find amusing....
‘The Girlfriend Experience’ Trailer: Riley Keough Can Be Whoever She Wants To Be By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 22, 2016 9:00 am EST Director Steven Soderbergh once shook things up in the film world by working with adult film star Sasha Grey for his experimental drama The Girlfriend Experience. The film followed the life of a call girl moving from client to client in New York City during the days leading up the 2008 presidential election....
‘The Jungle Book’ Featurette: Christopher Walken Is The King Of The Jungle By Jack Giroux/April 6, 2016 3:00 pm EST The Jungle Book’s voice cast is stacked with talent. Sir Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Lupita Nyong’o, Christopher Walken, Scarlett Johansson, Idris Elba, and more help bring director Jon Favreau’s (Chef) ambitious, CG-heavy reimagining of the Disney animated classic to life. To learn how they did it, check out the recent The Jungle Book featurette below....
‘The Maze Runner’ Finale ‘The Death Cure’ Won’t Be Split Into Two Movies By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 9, 2014 11:00 am EST One of the trends that I almost included in my list of 9 current movie and television trends I hate is when Hollywood decides to split the last book in a series of film adaptations in two (or in the case of The Hobbit, in three). Sure, sometimes a book is huge, like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and you would think that the only way to bring the story to the screen is to allow enough time so that its not hacked to its core....
Broadway’s ‘Hamilton’ Getting Filmed With Original Cast By Angie Han/June 16, 2016 10:30 am EST Hamilton is the rare cultural phenomenon that’s largely enjoyed by people who haven’t actually seen it. Not for lack of interest, mind you, but because Hamilton tickets are basically impossible to get at this point. And creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda broke a lot of hearts last month when he set a July exit date and predicted a Hamilton movie wouldn’t happen “for, like, 20 years....
Eli Roth To Direct Killer Shark Thriller ‘Meg’ By Germain Lussier/June 16, 2015 3:30 pm EST It’s been lurking in the waters of Hollywood for almost a decade, the monster movie Meg may be resurfacing once again. Meg is a killer shark story based on a 1997 book written by Steve Allen that has been at multiple studios over the past decade, with many of different names on board. The project had been thought dormant for a good long while, but now a script by Dean Georgaris reportedly has Warner Bros....
Exclusive: The ‘I Am Not A Serial Killer’ Poster Is Filled With Monsters By Jacob Hall/Aug. 2, 2016 12:00 pm EST I Am Not a Serial Killer premiered at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, where I saw it on a whim and found myself having a great time with it. Although it sounds like it could be a fairly typical thriller cut out of the same cloth as Showtime’s Dexter, Billy O’Brien’s film (which is based on the novel by Dan Wells) quickly distinguishes itself as something unique, gruesome, and weird, feeling like a long-lost ’70s genre gem that somehow escaped into 2016....
