Superhero Bits: Flash/Supergirl First Look, New Wasp, Agent Carter In Trouble? By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 10, 2016 5:00 pm EST Was Vicki Vale supposed to die in Tim Burton’s Batman. Can Deadpool pop up in any of the X-Men movies, even if they’re PG-13? Is the future of Agent Carter in jeopardy? Did Ryan Reynolds leak the Deadpool test footage himself? Will there be any Infinity Stones in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol....

Superhero Bits: The Flash, Gotham, Hulk, Apocalypse, Thor: Ragnarok, Sinister Six, Constantine By Angie Han/Sept. 15, 2015 5:00 pm EST What sold Ben Affleck on Batman v Superman? Where will the next Captain America: Civil War footage be revealed? What’s with Apocalypse’s costume in X-Men? Why won’t James Gunn use the Sneepers in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? Does Mark Ruffalo like Amadeus Cho as the new Hulk? How does Scarlet Witch fit into Captain America: Civil War?...

Superhero Bits: The Flash, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Thor, Aquaman, Gotham By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 23, 2015 5:30 pm EST What happens when Batman meets Pee-Wee Herman? How were the visual effects for the next episode of The Flash pulled off? Is Gal Gadot a fan of Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman? How did Tom Holland get hurt on the set of Captain America: Civil War? What did you miss in the Jessica Jones trailer?...

Taika Waititi Provides An Update On The ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ Sequel By Jack Giroux/June 22, 2016 5:00 am EST Taika Waititi co-wrote, co-produced, and co-directed one of our favorite films of last year, What We Do in the Shadows. While promoting his latest film, Hunt for the Wilderpeople — which is about as delightful as the vampire mockumentary — he discussed plans for a sequel to Shadows. The proposed sequel wouldn’t center on Viago (Waititi), Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) or the bad boy of the group, Deacon (Jonny Brugh); instead, it’ll focus on their adversaries–the werewolves....

By Jack Giroux/Dec. 8, 2015 4:30 pm EST The Hannibal finale is incredibly satisfying. NBC’s surreal, dark show never scored huge in the ratings, but it’s a miracle a story this ambitious lasted three seasons, and thankfully it ended on a high note, with Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) finally getting some much needed alone time. After the jump, the cast and crew explain the Hannibal finale....

Things Aren’t Looking So Good For ‘Agent Carter’ Season Three Or ‘Marvel’s Most Wanted’ By Ethan Anderton/May 3, 2016 1:00 pm EST After finishing up its second season earlier this year, fans have been wondering if Agent Carter would return for a third season, especially since lead actress Hayley Atwell had landed another lead role in the courtroom drama Conviction, also on ABC. Reports said that the production schedule for each shows would have allowed her to do both, however, a new update indicates that Agent Carter may be retired after all....

Video: The History And Making Of The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man In ‘Ghostbusters’ By Germain Lussier/Feb. 20, 2015 1:45 pm EST The first thing many people remember when thinking of Ghostbusters is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. It’s just the simple truth of the matter. The logo is iconic, the characters are memorable, but that final scene featuring a building-sized villain (one made of marshmallow, to boot) is unlike anything moviegoers had seen when the film was released....

VOTD: ‘Back To The Future’ Predicted 9/11 - A Brilliant Truther Parody Doc By Peter Sciretta/March 20, 2015 11:30 am EST Does Back to the Future predict 9/11? Was the 1985 film a warning about our future? Of course not. But thats the fun of this well-edited documentary short. Last night I was at Cinefamily’s monthly YouTube Party, an event where a theater full of people gather together to take a collective trip down the rabbit hole of YouTube’s funny and weird videos with the help of the hosts and live suggestions from the audience....

VOTD: Watch The Evolution Of Steven Spielberg On Film By Ethan Anderton/July 5, 2016 10:30 am EST This past weekend, The BFG hit theaters. Unfortunately, director Steven Spielberg didn’t enjoy the kind of big box office debut that his films usually garner. The film debuted at #4 at the box office, earning just $18 million this weekend ($22 million for the holiday weekend) on a budget of $140 million. That’s pretty disappointing, but we’ve already talked about how this doesn’t mean Spielberg doesn’t have the magic he once had....

Will The ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ Trailer Play Before ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’? Probably Not By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 14, 2015 11:30 am EST One question I’ve been asked quite a bit by Star Wars fans this past week is this: “Will the Star Wars: Rogue One trailer play before Star Wars: The Force Awakens?” Kathleen Kennedy told me during my interview that the last day of filming on Rogue One happens on December 18th, the same day The Force Awakens hits theaters....

‘Chi-Raq’ Trailer: Spike Lee Puts A Contemporary Spin On An Ancient Story By Angie Han/Nov. 3, 2015 2:30 pm EST IMDb debuted the first Chi-Raq trailer. The original tale of Lysistrata hails from around 400 BC. In it, a woman named Lysistrata hits a novel strategy to end the Peloponnesian War: she convinces the women of Greece to refuse to sleep with their husbands until they agree to stop the fighting....

‘Creative Control’ Trailer: Augmented Reality Is Our Mundane, Neurotic, Black And White Future By Jacob Hall/Feb. 3, 2016 3:00 pm EST This preview plays up the comedic aspects of the film, including a strange supporting performance by Reggie Watts as himself, but the actual film is little more melancholy and a little less manic. It’s funny for sure, but writer/director/star Benjamin Dickinson has a lot on his mind and skewers everything from personal relationships to our relationship with technology....

‘Fantastic Four’ Extended Four-Minute Preview With Bonus ‘Deadpool’ Tease By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 4, 2015 7:30 am EST But there’s a bonus at the end for those who sit through the whole four-minute video (or just fast forward to the last 30 seconds), because Deadpool pops up to let everyone know that they’ll also see a trailer for his movie with Fantastic Four this weekend. But we’ll end up seeing the red band trailer for that tonight, so stay tuned....

‘Green Lantern’ Rumor: Chris Pine To Star As One Of Multiple Green Lanterns By Angie Han/June 24, 2015 8:00 am EST One of the questions surrounding Warner Bros.’ upcoming Green Lantern movie is which Green Lantern it’ll center on. There have been several of them in the comics, since they’re all part of a single intergalactic police force called the Green Lantern Corps. Would Warner Bros. attempt a do-over with Hal Jordan?...

‘Lego Batman’ Movie Will Acknowledge “Every Era Of Batman Filmmaking” By Germain Lussier/Nov. 19, 2014 9:00 am EST What a long, strange trip it’s been for Batman on the big screen. There was the 1966 movie based on the TV show. Tim Burton’s 1989 hit, which lead us to the wild Joel Schumacher films. Christopher Nolan then took over and turned it into Oscar-bait and in a few years, not only will Batman fight Superman and join the Justice League, he’ll be the star of his own Lego movie....

‘Pacific Rim 2’ Might Not Be Dead (And We Probably Have China To Thank For It) By Angie Han/Jan. 12, 2016 12:00 pm EST Buried within last week’s news about Guillermo del Toro taking over James Cameron’s Fantastic Voyage remake was a minor update on the long-suffering Pacific Rim 2. The prognosis didn’t look good — the only reason del Toro even had room in his schedule for Fantastic Voyage was because Pacific Rim 2 was “off the table indefinitely....

‘Survivor’ Trailer: Pierce Brosnan Is A Mad Bomber By Russ Fischer/April 2, 2015 2:30 pm EST Former Wachowski collaborator James McTeigue has a new film called Survivor, in which Pierce Brosnan, as a killer nicknamed “the Watchmaker,” helps frame a government officer played by Milla Jovovich. The thriller looks like it is set between the action churn of the typical Millennium Entertainment film and the tone and action of the Bourne series....

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2’ Adds Tyler Perry As Baxter Stockman By Angie Han/April 23, 2015 1:00 pm EST We also know Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio is making a cameo appearance as herself. Classic Turtles characters Bebop and Rocksteady are expected to appear but haven’t yet been cast. In broad strokes, Baxter Stockman is a scientist who invents the Mousers — machines designed to seek out and destroy sewer rats....

‘The Americans’ Season 4 Teaser: Bang Bang, Kerri Russell Shot You Down By Jacob Hall/Dec. 10, 2015 11:30 am EST For the past three years, The Americans has quietly become one of the best shows on television. Joseph Weisberg’s unflinching tale of spies and family and 1980s America was good from its pilot, but it became great in its second season and magnificent in its third. There are no shortage of espionage stories being told on TV these days, but The Americans, gray and pessimistic and brutal and loaded with all of the necessary dread for a Cold War story, is unafraid to explore what the actual life of a spy would be like....
