But prepare to adjust your expectations ever so slightly....

By Ethan Anderton/March 28, 2016 11:30 am EST In case you hadn’t heard, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition is coming this summer, and as we’ve previously revealed, it will have 30 minutes of additional footage.

‘Deadpool’ Red Band Trailer: With Great Power Comes Great Irresponsibility By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 4, 2015 8:09 pm EST Here’s the red band trailer from 20th Century Fox: And here’s the green band trailer as well: This is pretty much exactly what we saw at Comic-Con, but with a few edits made here and there, including cutting out Stan Lee’s great cameo, which is absolutely hilarious.

‘Gods Of Egypt’ Super Bowl Spot: Bow Before Gerard Butler Or Die By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 6, 2016 10:00 am EST There’s Gerard Butler yelling like a beast of a warrior.

‘Money Monster’ Trailer: George Clooney Needs To Get Some Answers By Jack Giroux/Jan. 13, 2016 5:30 am EST Jodie Foster’s last directorial effort, The Beaver, made less than a million dollars domestically. That’s unfortunate, because the 2011 drama, starring Mel Gibson, is a very good film that deserved more love than it got. The Beaver isn’t a movie for everybody, but Foster’s newest film, Money Monster, looks far more accessible....

‘Triple 9’ Red Band Trailer: This Little Piggy Went To The Market By Jack Giroux/Oct. 5, 2015 11:30 am EST Director John Hillcoat has yet to make a major box-office hit. The director behind Lawless, The Road, and the incredible 2005 western, The Proposition, makes bleak and brutal movies about the violent side of humanity. If this Triple 9 red band trailer is any indication, though, he may have finally brought his sensibility to a commercial project....

Could Peter Jackson Do More ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Movies? By Germain Lussier/Dec. 2, 2014 1:00 pm EST Peter Jackson has never quite been sure how many movies based on the world of J.R.R. Tolkien he was going to make. In his initial pitch, he combined the three Lord of the Rings novels into two movies. He then ended up making three. And even though those movies were long, he released extended editions of each....

Michael Douglas Not Signed On For ‘Ant-Man’ Sequels By Ethan Anderton/July 28, 2015 2:30 pm EST Though it’s not perfect, the recent release of Ant-Man from Marvel Studios is a refreshing comic book adventure with a different tone, style and a contained story, bringing us one of the more intimate movies from the comic book studio. One of the reasons it works so well, besides having solid lead Paul Rudd as Scott Lang and Michael Pena to steal every scene he’s in, is Michael Douglas....

See the new Ghostbusters proton pack image after the jump....

Priyanka Chopra Will Menace Dwayne Johnson In ‘Baywatch’ (And Probably In Slow Motion) By Jacob Hall/Feb. 16, 2016 11:30 am EST If you told us a year ago that I’d be interested in a Baywatch movie, I would have given you a serious case of side-eye before tracking down a more trustworthy person to engage in conversation. But here we are – I have no idea what a comedic take on this immensely popular (but oh-so-terrible) drama series starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron looks like, but I know that I’m very curious to find out....

Tim Burton Tired Of Marvel Formula, Thinks We Need A Happy Superhero By Angie Han/Dec. 16, 2014 3:00 pm EST Tim Burton’s Batman movies aren’t exactly what you’d call cheerful, but even he thinks the modern-day superhero could stand to lighten up a little. “Maybe we need to see a happy superhero?” he suggested. Or maybe he just wants to see the genre change altogether. The filmmaker also criticized the Marvel formula, and predicted that moviegoers would tire of superhero films some day....

Nearly 28 years after hitting theaters, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? remains an impressive marvel of motion picture as a groundbreaking mesh of live-action and animation in a way that nobody had ever really seen before.
