Matthew McConaughey is reportedly circling the Stephen King adaptation, which is intended as the start of a sprawling franchise spanning multiple films and a companion TV series. More on the potential Matthew McConaughey Dark Tower casting, including details on the character he might play, after the jump....

New ‘Deadpool’ Images And ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Tease The Two Sides Of Fox’s Marvel Universe By Angie Han/Dec. 29, 2015 11:00 am EST Although X-Men: Apocalypse and Deadpool may belong to the same universe, they couldn’t look more different. The former promises tons of doom and gloom (as befits a movie about the lower-case-A apocalypse being waged by a capital-A Apocalypse), whereas the latter takes a much more irreverent, NSFW approach. But they do have one other thing in common: both have revealed new looks today, in advances of their releases next year....

Sequel Bits: ‘Ninja Turtles 2’, ‘Independence Day 2’, ‘Terminator Genisys’, ‘Ash Vs. Evil Dead’ By Angie Han/May 21, 2015 3:30 pm EST Casey Jones, Bebop, and Rocksteady are all in for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Might another fan favorite character be joining them? Rumor has it Krang will make his live-action debut in the upcoming movie, directed by Dave Green. How exactly he figures into the story isn’t clear, but sources claim a scene featuring his arrival on planet Earth was shot last week....

Superhero Bits: Agent Of Carter, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Daredevil, Iron Man, Wolverines By Germain Lussier/Jan. 2, 2015 4:00 pm EST Which actor is hilariously being rumored as Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man replacement? Want to see Weta’s work on The Amazing Spider-Man 2? How is Marvel replacing the “dead” Wolverine in the comics? Would Hayley Atwell like to continue playing Agent Carter? Who is the latest actress who may be up for Supergirl?...

VOTD: Video Essay Examines The Thematic Effect Of Different Aspect Ratios By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 8, 2015 7:00 am EST We’ve previously featured a video essay that dove into the history of aspect ratios in cinema and how they’ve changed in the relatively short history of filmmaking. But beyond the technical changes and differences, varying aspect ratios are now used to not only change the aesthetic of any given film, or even a specific scene or sequence, but to also create a different emotional effect within the viewer....

‘Bad Santa 2’ Enlists Christina Hendricks To Romance Billy Bob Thornton By Angie Han/Jan. 7, 2016 2:30 pm EST Women with Santa fetishes probably aren’t that common in real life (I’m assuming; I do not have any hard data to back this up), but apparently there’s no shortage of them in the Bad Santa universe. After wooing bartender Sue (Lauren Graham) in the original Bad Santa, Billy Bob Thornton’s Willie Soke will find himself romancing a new woman in the upcoming sequel, to be played by Mad Men star Christina Hendricks....

‘Divorce’ Teaser Trailer: Sarah Jessica Parker’s New HBO Comedy By Jack Giroux/June 23, 2016 5:00 am EST Yesterday, four months after HBO renewed Vinyl for a second season, they decided to pull the plug on the series. Season one was an expensive misfire, and it marked another disappointment for HBO, following the cancellation of The Brink, the response to True Detective season two, the death of two exceptionally promising shows involving David Fincher, and some production troubles with Westworld....

‘Girls’ Renewed For Season 5, In Advance Of Season 4 Premiere By Angie Han/Jan. 6, 2015 7:30 am EST Don’t look for the upcoming fourth season of Girls to be the one where they grow up and become fully actualized, functional adults for good. If that ever happened it’d be the end of Girls, and HBO has just announced that the acclaimed comedy will be back for a fifth season. Get more details on the Girls Season 5 renewal after the jump....

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ Will Not Involve Infinity Stones By Angie Han/Aug. 1, 2016 3:30 pm EST The end credits for 2012’s The Avengers first introduced Thanos to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his quest to collect all the Infinity Stones will presumably come to a head with 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. But don’t look for him to make much progress in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2....

‘Hands Of Stone’ Trailer: Edgar Ramirez Says “No Más” By Jacob Hall/July 22, 2016 4:00 pm EST Few sports are as inherently cinematic as boxing. Whether you care for it or not, two men entering a ring armed only with their strength, their speed, and their raw determination is just plain dramatic. It’s a game of stunning comebacks and upsets. It’s a world of dizzying highs and painful lows. Boxing stories, whether they’re based on truth or constructed for the screen, make for good movies....

‘Harry Potter And The Cursed Child’ Casting: Meet The New Harry, Ron, And Hermione By Angie Han/Dec. 21, 2015 6:00 am EST Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint completed their run as Harry, Ron, and Hermione in 2011 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. But now with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child set to open in London’s West End next year, there’s a new trio in town....

‘Penny Dreadful’ Season 3 Trailer: You Think You Know Evil? By Jack Giroux/Jan. 13, 2016 6:30 am EST Because I don’t really follow the Golden Globes or other awards coverage that much, I didn’t know Eva Green was nominated for best actress in a TV series for Penny Dreadful. It was delightful to learn she was, though, because Green is terrific in the Showtime drama. The show didn’t score any other nominations, but at least the actress’ ferocious and heartbreaking performance was recognized for the excellent second season....

‘Terminator: Genisys’ VFX Breakdown: How Arnold Schwarzenegger Fought His Younger Self & More By Ethan Anderton/March 12, 2016 9:00 am EST It’s no secret that Terminator Genisys wasn’t the movie that most of the franchise’s fans were hoping for and it certainly wasn’t the box office hit that Paramount Pictures hoped that it would be. The previously planned sequels were put on indefinite hold, supposedly so a readjustment could be made to the future of the film series, but then any follow-up was seemingly canceled back in January....

‘The Walk’ Teaser Trailer: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Plans His Twin Towers Walk By Angie Han/Dec. 9, 2014 7:30 am EST Back when the Twin Towers were still standing, thousands of people walked between them every day. But only one did so 1,350 feet above the ground. Robert Zemeckis’ The Walk is the story of that man, Philippe Petit. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the French high-wire artist as he plans his notorious 1974 stunt, crossing that gap against all odds, all common sense, and all legal restrictions....

By Fred Topel/July 28, 2015 10:00 am EST As you know, the Tanner family is together again as the Netflix sequel series Fuller House is now in production. (See photos from the first day of shooting here.)
