‘Alice Through The Looking Glass’ Daylight Savings Spot: Where Does The Time Go? By Angie Han/March 14, 2016 3:30 pm EST This weekend marked the start of Daylight Savings Time in the U.S., and that means the past 36 or so hours have been rough for a lot of folks. At some point in the wee hours of Sunday morning, an hour simply vanished into thin air, leaving us with one less hour to sleep, or work, or spend time with our families, or binge-watch House of Cards, or whatever else we’d normally do with that time....

‘Ben-Hur’ Trailer & Featurette: Jack Huston And Toby Kebbell Face Off In The Arena By Angie Han/June 14, 2016 8:00 am EST Some of Toby Kebbell’s most prominent roles are the ones where he’s hidden behind CG and mo-cap magic: Koba in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Dr. Doom in Fantastic Four, and most recently Durotan in Warcraft. But he’ll show his face for real later this summer in Timur Bekmambetov’s re-adaptation of Ben-Hur, where he plays the duplicitous Messala to Jack Huston’s Judah Ben-Hur....

‘Equals’ Trailer: Kristen Stewart And Nicholas Hoult Fall Into Forbidden Love By Angie Han/April 18, 2016 7:00 am EST A lot of filmmakers have a certain theme they return to time and time again, and for director Drake Doremus it seems to be love in all of its messiness and complications. Like Crazy dealt with the long-distance relationship between an American and a Brit, and Breathe In with the love affair between a married man and a much younger woman....

Luckily, the Fine Bros. are here to help. The fast-talking duo have put together a nine-minute House of Cards video recap that covers the past 26 episodes....

‘How To Be Single’ Trailer: Rebel Wilson Helps Dakota Johnson Navigate The New York City Dating Pool By Angie Han/Nov. 18, 2015 9:00 am EST Dakota Johnson basically owned Valentine’s Day weekend this year, and those inevitable Fifty Shades of Grey sequels mean she’s got Valentine’s Day 2017 and 2018 locked in as well. But for Valentine’s Day 2016, she’s going to try to dominate the box office without the aid of whips and chains....

‘Ice Age: Collision Course’: Get A Look At Neil deGrasse Tyson As A Weasel By Ethan Anderton/June 12, 2016 11:00 am EST Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has taken it upon himself to point out the scientific inaccuracy of some sci-fi movies, taking some of the fun out of the fiction part of the genre. However, it’ll be interesting to see if he goes out of his way to point out the inaccuracies in the forthcoming animated sequel Ice Age: Collision Course, especially since he’ll have a small role in the movie, appearing as an anthropomorphic animal version of himself....

‘Slow West’ Trailer: Michael Fassbender Guides A Lovelorn Boy Through The Wild West By Angie Han/March 24, 2015 12:30 pm EST If you were following our dispatches from Sundance this year, you might already know to be excited for Slow West.

‘Storks’ Trailer: Andy Samberg Delivers A Baby By Angie Han/June 16, 2016 8:00 am EST “Where do babies come from?” is the question all parents dread hearing, at least according to every family sitcom ever. But if you can wait ’til fall to have the talk, Warner Bros.’ Storks can help you out with a kid-friendly, completely scientifically accurate accounting of how exactly the process works. As all of us adults know, of course, it begins with the Baby Making Machine on Stork Mountain....

‘Ted 2’ Will Have A Scene At Comic-Con; Los Angeles Residents Can Be In The Film By Germain Lussier/Oct. 7, 2014 11:00 am EST As Seth MacFarlane continues shooting Ted 2, drips and drabs of info are coming out about the film. The supporting cast just sounds awesome, as it features Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, John Slattery and Dennis Haysbert. There’s a good chance there will be some more Flash Gordon, and Amanda Seyfried has taken over for Mila Kunis....

‘The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’ Reboot Will Happen “When Hell Freezes Over,” Says Will Smith By Jack Giroux/Aug. 3, 2016 7:00 am EST This weekend we’ll see Will Smith in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, which so far isn’t faring well with critics although our own Angie Han enjoyed the film. Negative reviews be damned, it’s expected to be another box office hit for Smith, who’s been mostly charming audiences since starring in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air....

‘The Invitation’ Trailer: Something Doesn’t Feel Safe Here By Jack Giroux/Jan. 20, 2016 12:00 pm EST If The Invitation had been released last year, it would’ve made my top 10 films of the year list. I saw Karyn Kusama’s unsettling thriller at last year’s Fantastic Fest, and for the past few months, I haven’t been able to shake it. Not just because it’s a rather unnerving experience, but because of how expertly structured, acted, and shot it is....

Annapurna Pictures To Open Virtual Reality Division By Germain Lussier/Jan. 23, 2015 12:00 pm EST Annapurna Pictures is well-known for releasing some of the most engaging movies out there today. So in a way, it makes sense that they’d embrace a technology that itself is literally engaging. The company is opening a new virtual reality division called VRSE.FARM along with artist Chris Milk. Together, they’ll offer filmmakers the opportunities to explore virtual reality outlets and concepts for their movies like nowhere before....

Cinemas Closed, HBO U2 Concert & Movie Premieres Canceled After Paris Attacks By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 14, 2015 9:00 am EST So out of respect for those mourning and because of the shock from these attacks, the entertainment industry is responding with some cancellations of events that were to take place in Paris over the next few days, including a live U2 concert that was to air on HBO. In addition, major movie theater chains and arthouse cinemas are closing for the day as well....

Daniel Craig May Have A Costumed Cameo In ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ By Russ Fischer/May 15, 2015 10:45 am EST There could be a blonde hero in Star Wars: The Force Awakens who would never get the “aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper” comment. If reports are true, somewhere in the film, under a white helmet and armor, lurks Daniel Craig. But this is the sort of report that may have been blown out of proportion — because it’s a fun nugget of info, if true — so we’ll break down what everyone said, and what we know below....

Director Spoils One More ‘Ghostbusters’ Reboot Cameo By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 25, 2015 9:30 am EST Over the past couple months, we’ve reported on a few cameos being made in Paul Feig’s reboot of Ghostbusters by cast members of the original 1984 paranormal comedy. However, this hasn’t been something that has pleased us. We would much rather these cameos were surprises when seeing the movie. But when all the trades, blogs and Ghostbusters fans are spreading the news like wildfire without any regard for spoilers, it doesn’t make much sense for us to try to keep it secret....

By Russ Fischer/Aug. 11, 2015 1:30 pm EST THR passes on word from Barton Crockett, an analyst at FBR & Co., that the $27m domestic take for the $120m movie is “a negative start to Fox’s already cautious forecast for a $200 million year-over-year decline in studio segment profits in fiscal year 2016.” The low income for the film could lead to that significant write-off for the studio.

Here’s Why All Walt Disney References Were Cut From ‘Tomorrowland’ By Germain Lussier/May 20, 2015 1:00 pm EST The Japanese trailer for Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland had a very explicit reference to the Walt Disney theme park the film is named after. While investigating a mysterious pin, Casey (Britt Robertson) ends up at a geek store called Blast from the Past. There, the clerks played by Keegan-Michael Key and Kathryn Hahn explain the link between the Disney theme park and the real life Tomorrowland of the movie....
