And because voice recording is done in advance, it’s a rarity to hear of someone being replaced with just under five months before the film’s release....

Learn The Voice Actors Behind Your Favorite Cartoon & Video Game Characters [Infographic] By Ethan Anderton/May 31, 2016 6:00 am EST The field of voice acting is a wholly unique one. In some ways, voice acting can be more difficult than acting on-camera, mostly because so much emotion has to come purely from the voice, without the assistance of facial expressions or body language. Many times it’s the voice that informs how a character is depicted, and that’s why it’s so surprising to learn that the same actors are behind the voices of many different cartoon and video game characters we know and love....

Lee Daniels Directing Supernatural Thriller ‘Demon House’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 13, 2014 7:00 am EST The Paperboy by Lee Daniels has become one of my favorite trashy movies because it is totally nuts. And so the idea of a Lee Daniels horror film is fantastic, because that could be just the framework in which he can let loose some similar energy with a different vibe. Enter Demon House, a supernatural story set up at Relativity, which Daniels is now set to direct....

See Bryan Cranston In ‘Trumbo’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 11, 2014 4:30 pm EST Bryan Cranston is bringing a shameful nexus of entertainment and politics to life once again in the movie Trumbo. Following the conclusion of Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston has been seen in Godzilla, and his biggest achievement has probably been a portrayal of Lyndon B. Johnson in the play All the Way. That led to an HBO movie version of the play in which Cranston again plays the title role....

The Leftovers Season 2 Teaser Trailer: “Pack Your Bags, We’re Headed To Jarden Texas” By Peter Sciretta/June 12, 2015 12:00 pm EST I wasn’t immediately taken by The Leftovers when I watched the pilot on HBO, but over the course of the first few episodes the show really grabbed me. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, the show has a very cool mystery set-up (set two years after 2% of the world’s population mysteriously disappeared) but focuses more on the characters and drama (and even though I think the character focus works here better than in Lost, I’m still drawn more to the mysterious twists)....

This Week In Trailers: Lucha Mexico, The Daughter, In My Father’s House, Race, Felled By Christopher Stipp/Oct. 25, 2015 6:00 am EST I don’t know why I had such affinity for this after watching this but I did. The Daughter Trailer This is nothing short of thrilling. Director Simon Stone weaves a dark tale but doesn’t immediately toss us into that emotional fray. Wisely, but with a musical bed that is slowly pulling us into its emotional whirlpool, we get to know the players....

‘Alien: Covenant’ Will Bring Back All Your Favorite Xenomorphs By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 13, 2015 10:00 am EST Not too long ago we learned that the official title for Prometheus 2 would be Alien: Covenant, with the story making a direct connection to director Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic sci-fi horror Alien. The sequel will follow the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovering what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition....

‘Focus’ Trailer: Will Smith Has Never Seen A Criminal Like Margot Robbie By Russ Fischer/Oct. 9, 2014 4:51 pm EST In Focus, Will Smith is an experienced con man who leads a well-organized ring of criminals. Then he meets an up and coming grifter played by Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) and the con games get complicated for both of them. Written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Bad Santa writers and Crazy Stupid Love writer/directors) Focus seems to aspire to blend the zip of a modern film like Wolf of Wall Street with some of the weight of a classical Hollywood picture....

‘Goat’ Trailer: Nick Jonas Leads A Frat Drama About The Perils Of Hazing By Angie Han/July 7, 2016 10:00 am EST It’s no secret that fraternity hazing can be an nasty and demeaning experience. Even films and TV series that show Greek life in an affectionate light feature at least a few scenes of pledges undertaking painful or humiliating tasks. But Andrew Neel’s Goat, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, reveals just how ugly it can get....

‘Inhumans’ Movie Still Happening, Insists Kevin Feige By Angie Han/May 13, 2016 3:30 pm EST Marvel’s Inhumans movie has been dogged by cancellation rumors for months, and when the project was recently yanked from Disney’s release calendar altogether, many fans assumed that was the end. But that’s not the case, insists Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. It just means it’s no longer part of the franchise’s Phase Three plans, which run through 2019....

‘Jupiter Ascending’ International Trailer: The Wachowksis’ Latest Is Still Coming By Germain Lussier/Nov. 25, 2014 1:00 pm EST Coming into 2014, Jupiter Ascending was one of my most anticipated films of the year. The combination of sci-fi action and the Wachowskis made it look like all the best parts of The Matrix and Cloud Atlas rolled into one. Then the film was delayed from a summer 2014 release to a spring 2015 release and that anticipation began to wane....

‘The Expendables 4’ Will Be R-Rated Says Sylvester Stallone By Russ Fischer/Nov. 24, 2014 12:30 pm EST The Expendables series has shown diminishing returns both for fans and execs. The third movie diverted its focus away from the aging action heroes that were the driving force behind the series to begin with, and also fell vicim to pre-release piracy.
