Chalk is a theater vet known for his recurring roles on HBO’s The Newsroom (as Gary Cooper) and Showtime’s Homeland (as Tom Walker)....

How Does Batman Fit Into ‘Suicide Squad?’ By Germain Lussier/March 16, 2015 9:00 am EST The instant Warner Bros. announced Jared Leto was playing The Joker in Suicide Squad, the questions began.

‘Concussion’ Trailer: Will Smith Takes On The NFL By Angie Han/Aug. 31, 2015 6:00 am EST Even if you’re not particularly a sports fan, you’ve likely heard about the ongoing controversy over head injuries in the NFL.

‘Sicario’ Clip: Josh Brolin Gets Heated With Emily Blunt By Russ Fischer/May 22, 2015 5:00 am EST We’re seeing more of Sicario, the new film from Denis Villeneuve, very slowly. There were a few images, then a poster. And if you want to know more about the film, there are quite a few reviews floating around from the film’s Cannes premiere. Now there’s also a Sicario clip, and while we wait for the film’s official trailer, it’s a good first taste of the work by Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin, playing a set of government consultants and agents who form an uneasy alliance to fight one battle in the war on drugs....

‘Star Trek Beyond’ Release Pushed Back Two Weeks By Russ Fischer/Sept. 17, 2015 5:13 pm EST Star Trek is going beyond its original release date, but not too far beyond.

The third film in the new series and the thirteenth overall, Star Trek Beyond, will now open on July 22, 2016....

Night Shyamalan to his Sixth Sense heyday, it was, at least, a step in the right direction for the once-hyped filmmaker. It earned him his strongest reviews in years, and (thanks to its $5 million budget) turned a tidy profit for studio Universal. Whether he’ll keep that momentum going with his next film remains to be seen, but at least now we know when we’ll find out....
