Meanwhile, the girls back in New York haven’t changed a lot either....

Andy Serkis Responds To Rumors About His ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Character By Germain Lussier/Dec. 17, 2014 4:00 pm EST The Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer was filled with so many visual stimulants, it’s funny how the auditory one has become the most interesting point of conversation. After some debate, we found it was Andy Serkis delivering the clip’s chilling monologue. Not only was it chilling because of the voice itself; it was the words delivered....
Bryan Singer Boards ‘20,000 Leagues Under The Sea’ By Angie Han/Sept. 17, 2015 12:30 pm EST Like pretty much all Bryan Singer-related news lately, the original source on this one is Singer’s own Instagram. As you can see above, Rick Sordelet and Dan Studney scripted 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Singer helped provide the story. Studney was one of several writers who worked on Singer’s Jack the Giant Slayer. Sordelet’s IMDb profile indicates he’s a stunt coordinator....
Channing Tatum And Joseph Gordon-Levitt Are Making An R-Rated Musical Together By Angie Han/Feb. 5, 2016 3:00 pm EST One of the many themes floating around in the Coen brothers’ Hail Caesar! is the transcendent power of cinema — the way a really good film can mesmerize, delight, make all your troubles melt away, and awe you with its artistry. And few scenes in the film make a better case for it than the snippet we get to see of “No Dames,” an Anchors Aweigh-style musical number starring the Gene Kelly-esque Burt Gurney, played by Channing Tatum....
Even An ‘Agents Of SHIELD’ Star Says Marvel Studios Doesn’t Care About The Show By Ethan Anderton/May 17, 2016 3:30 pm EST Even though the television series Agents of SHIELD takes place in the Marvel cinematic universe, there has still be a significant disconnect between the Marvel Studios show on ABC and their feature films. The biggest piece of evidence pointing to a lack of cooperation between the two Marvel entities is the fact that Agents of SHIELD probably won’t cross over with the Inhumans movie (which has been pulled from Marvel’s schedule, but will still get made eventually), even though they share an entire species of superpowered characters from Marvel Comics....

Los Angeles: Martin Starr Is Directing A Comedy Western Radio Play You Won’t Want To Miss By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 22, 2015 1:30 pm EST More than likely you know Martin Starr from his fantastic supporting work on HBO’s comedy series Silicon Valley, or maybe from his appearances in movies such as Knocked Up, Save the Date, This is The End and Veronica Mars.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Reveals Her Killer ‘Star Wars Rebels’ Character By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 2, 2015 10:30 am EST Back in the spring, we learned that Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar would be bringing her voice talents to the Disney XD animated series Star Wars Rebels. When she was cast in the series, however, her character was kept secret.

Watch Oscar Isaac Geek Out About Being In ‘Star Wars’ And ‘X-Men’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 3, 2014 9:00 am EST Oscar Isaac is one of us, a geek through and through. But at this time last year, we had no idea. A year ago, Isaac was the star of a wonderful Coen Bros. movie, Inside Llewyn Davis, which was a big coming-out party for the actor. Before that he’d appeared mostly as stand out supporting character in Drive, Body of Lies, Robin Hood and others....
WTF: Weird ‘Jurassic World’ Teaser From Universal Spain: “Something Big Is Coming” By Russ Fischer/Nov. 21, 2014 4:15 pm EST This promo video for Jurassic World is so odd that we thought it was a fake. Despite being hosted on the Universal Spain account, this short tease for the new film — labeled “something big is coming” — has none of the hallmarks of a legit promotion. There’s no studio logo, no URL for the official website that recently launched, and no movie title....
‘24: Legacy’ Brings Jimmy Smits Back To The Government In Series Regular Role By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 28, 2016 1:00 pm EST There’s no Jack Bauer this time, but Straight Outta Compton star Corey Hawkins has the new lead role as Eric Carter, a former Army Ranger who finds himself pulled back into action as his past comes looking for him. That’s a very Jack Bauer-esque plotline, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from 24 at this point....
