‘Ted 2’ Red Band Trailer And Poster: Porn, Drugs And Tom Brady By Germain Lussier/April 27, 2015 9:56 am EST The truest selling point of a Seth MacFarlane film is its red-band trailer. That’s where the writer/director’s humor is on full display and you’re about to get a lot of it in the latest Ted 2 trailer. It’s red-band, so the language is VERY not safe for work and it’s right in that MacFarlane wheel house: bodily fluids, drugs, race and lots of sex....

Smith and based on the novel by Michael Punke, The Revenant is based on true events. DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a fur trapper who is brutally injured in a clash with a bear.

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Adds Tessa Thompson, Loses Natalie Portman By Angie Han/April 11, 2016 12:00 pm EST Captain America: Civil War might have most of the Avengers, and a host of new MCU heavyweights to boot, but Thor: Ragnarok has quietly been building an amazing cast in its own right. In addition to Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk — the only two Avengers not appearing in Civil War — the film is also expected to feature the returns of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Jaimie Alexander’s Sif, and a new character played by Cate Blanchett to boot....

‘Zootopia’ Deserves An Oscar For Puns In Their Academy Award Spoof Posters And TV Spot By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 26, 2016 4:30 pm EST The early buzz on Zootopia is that in addition to some fine family comedy, it also packs some surprisingly poignant social commentary and a powerful message that everyone can probably take something away from when the credits roll. And of course, there will also be endless animal puns in Disney’s comedy that imagines a world where animals live like humans....

First ‘Agent Carter’ Clip: Peggy Goes To Work [Updated With Premiere Date] By Angie Han/Nov. 5, 2014 1:55 pm EST Like so many of her sexist colleagues, we made the mistake of underestimating Peggy Carter when she first burst onto the scene. We enjoyed her in Captain America: The First Avenger, but assumed we wouldn’t see much more of her beyond the occasional flashback. Little did we know that in a few years time, she’d be headlining her very own series....

Jason Lee Will Also Return For ‘Mallrats 2’ By Angie Han/March 24, 2015 3:00 pm EST Kevin Smith is well on his way to getting the entire gang back together for Mallrats 2. Jason Lee is the latest actor confirmed to return for the comedy sequel, as announced by Smith in the most amusingly appropriate fashion. See the Jason Lee Mallrats 2 casting announcement after the jump. Smith revealed Lee’s casting on Facebook....

Jennifer Lawrence And Adam McKay Teaming Up For Biotech Billionaire Biopic By Angie Han/June 9, 2016 2:05 pm EST Two recent Oscar darlings are looking to join forces. Jennifer Lawrence is attached to star in a new film directed by The Big Short’s Adam McKay, about Theranos co-founder Elizabeth Holmes. Come to think of it, the project sounds a bit like a mash-up of Lawrence’s Joy and McKay’s The Big Short: Holmes skyrocketed to prominence as one of the youngest self-made billionaires ever, only to fall from grace after her biotech company came under investigation....

Kurt Russell Hasn’t Seen ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ But Still Considering Sequel Role By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 22, 2015 11:30 am EST Not long ago, a big rumor about the identity of Star-Lord’s father in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was circling online, prompting James Gunn to vehemently debunk it and lament spoiler culture in general. But a little while after that, a far less spoilerly detail about the same character surfaced with word that Kurt Russell was in the running to play the mysterious character....

By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 14, 2015 5:00 am EST Hey-Diddly-Ho, Neighbor-eeno! What if I told you there was a metal band called Okilly Dokilly inspired by the The Simpsons’ overly kind, Jesus-loving, bespectacled, mustachioed neighbor Ned Flanders? Would you be excited? Because this is a real band, purporting to be the first and only “Nedal” band. Get it? Straight from Arizona, every member of this band is dressed as Ned Flanders, and their names are all different rhyming versions of the character....

Page 2: I Saw ‘Aloha’ On Tuesday And Have Already Almost Forgotten About It By Peter Sciretta/May 28, 2015 1:30 pm EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

Poster Posse Delivers Wild ‘The Jungle Book’ Artwork By Ethan Anderton/April 18, 2016 4:00 pm EST This past weekend, The Jungle Book exceeded box office predictions and studio expectations by pulling down over $103 million domestically, marking the second largest April opening ever. And since it’s already been in release internationally for two weeks now, it has nearly over $290 million worldwide. Our own Angie Han found a lot to love in the film, and it sounds like one that demands to be seen on the big screen....

POTD: Bill Gates Gifts Loki Helmet, Wins At Secret Santa By Angie Han/Dec. 30, 2014 11:00 am EST Add gift-giving to the long list of things Bill Gates is great at. The Microsoft co-founder participated in the Reddit Secret Santa exchange and presented one lucky lady with a slew of thoughtful gifts, including her “pie-in-the-sky wish”: a full-sized Loki helmet. See photos of the Bill Gates Secret Santa present after the jump....

Ron Howard’s ‘Inferno’ Delayed To 2016 By Russ Fischer/Oct. 9, 2014 1:30 pm EST Ron Howard just felt a Force push. Howard is prepping Inferno for an April 2015 shoot; it will be his third film based on a Dan Brown novel.

Rumor: ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Will Feature Both Han Solo And Boba Fett By Angie Han/Jan. 23, 2015 4:30 pm EST For months, we’ve heard two seemingly conflicting rumors about one Star Wars spinoff: one, that it’ll be about Boba Fett, and two, that it’ll be about Han Solo. The common assumption was that one or the other had to be false — but if this latest rumor is true, it could mean both of the other ones are, too....

Ryan Gosling Wanted For ‘Sinister Six’, But He Wants To Be A ‘Ghostbuster’ By Angie Han/Dec. 15, 2014 7:02 am EST Ryan Gosling has kept a pretty low profile lately, but that could change soon as he is being considered for two major projects. Sony reportedly wants him for Sinister Six, while Gosling himself is interested in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot. If he signs on for the latter he may join Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence, who are also among Feig’s wishlist for the cast....

Superhero Bits: Thor: Ragnarok, Thanos, Jessica Jones, Batman V Superman, Agent Carter, The Flash By Angie Han/Sept. 9, 2015 5:00 pm EST Is the Marvel Cinematic Universe getting an official guidebook? How’s Thanos looking with his Infinity Gauntlet? Has Legends of Tomorrow started filming? Where will Thor: Ragnarok shoot? Will Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have more female characters?

UK Theater Surprises Fans With Interactive ‘Kingsman’ Upgrade By Russ Fischer/Jan. 20, 2015 4:00 pm EST When theater attendance is declining overall, a little extra showmanship never hurts when trying to convince audience that theaters are the number one way to see a film. Food and drink, live personal appearances and quote-along events have become the obvious go-tos for most programmers. But some want to go a bit further. Take the Kingsman upgrade offered at one UK theater during a preview screening of Matthew Vaughn’s film Kingsman: The Secret Service....

Watch The First 8 Minutes Of MTV’s ‘Scream’: Bella Thorne Recreates Classic Drew Barrymore Scene By Angie Han/June 26, 2015 6:30 am EST MTV has a fine line to walk with its Scream TV series. Recreate the original films too closely, and they’ll be accused of laziness; stray too far from them, and they’ll alienate purists. We’ll have to wait and see how the series fares as a whole, but as revealed in a new Scream clip, the first eight minutes try their best to put their own spin on one of the movies’ classic scenes....
