New ‘Preacher’ Teaser Trailer: Just What Kind Of Preacher Are You? By Jack Giroux/April 29, 2016 3:30 pm EST We’re only a few short weeks away from seeing AMC’s adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s Preacher. Any fan of the comic book series knows it’s been a long journey for this property. When Preacher was being developed as a film it attracted plenty of talent, but even a director as capable as Sam Mendes couldn’t crack the story....

New ‘Star Wars Battlefront’ Footage: Yes, You Can Fly The Millennium Falcon By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 5, 2015 6:45 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. We’ve already seen enough footage from the forthcoming video game Star Wars Battlefront to convince me to buy the game when it arrives this fall.

By Ethan Anderton/May 2, 2016 5:00 am EST UPDATE: James Wan has responded on Twitter to rumors of trouble on Aquaman. See his comments below. Just yesterday, The Flash lost director Seth Grahame-Smith, creating some uncertainty and instability for the future of the DC Comics film universe.

Stephen King’s ‘The Mist’ Inspires A New TV Series By Russ Fischer/Sept. 16, 2015 3:00 pm EST Just because a Stephen King story has been adapted in one medium doesn’t make it off-limits for another, especially in the peak TV year of 2015. The Shining is the most obvious example of a successful film that was mounted on television, and now there’s a development effort to create The Mist as a TV series....

And so Tom Cruise, who of late has frequently done multiple projects with writers and directors he likes, is setting up an Edge of Tomorrow reunion with director Doug Liman. Their new project is set in the 1980s and is a “drug thriller” called Mena....

In addition to the return of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, David Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel in the lead roles, new cast members such as Kurt Russell, Elizabeth Debicki, Pom Klementieff and Chris Sullivan were also confirmed....

‘Maleficent 2’ Developing At Disney By Russ Fischer/June 15, 2015 4:00 pm EST While Jolie does not have a deal in place to put her in the sequel, clearly getting her back into costume will be a priority for the team before this project can really go forward.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Spot Shines A Light On John Boyega’s Finn By Angie Han/Nov. 18, 2015 6:27 pm EST As excited as we are to see Han, Chewie, and Leia (and presumably Luke, whenever we get around to seeing him) back for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we’re also dying to spend some quality time with the new heroes of the franchise. Like Finn, the young stormtrooper played by John Boyega....

‘Terminator Genisys’ Honest Trailer: Murdering The Only Good ‘Terminator’ Movies By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 11, 2015 4:00 am EST It’s no secret that Terminator Genisys wasn’t the hit that Paramount Pictures hoped it would be this past summer. The film only pulled in just under $90 million at the domestic box office, and while it raked in a surprising additional $350 million in international box office receipts (with the movie opening huge in China), it’s not enough to keep the studio from rethinking the future of the franchise....

Bruce Willis Starring In ‘Misery’ On Broadway By Russ Fischer/March 5, 2015 2:30 pm EST Are we living in a Simpsons episode? The idea of Bruce Willis starring in a Broadway version of Misery — yeah, based on the 1987 Stephen King novel — seems like exactly the sort of marquee attraction that would lure in Homer Simpson during a “the Simpsons are going to Manhattan!” episode of the show. Will it lure in real paying customers?...

Cool Stuff: ‘The Nice Guys’ Gets A Naughty Vinyl LP Soundtrack Release By Ethan Anderton/March 8, 2016 5:00 am EST Shane Black’s new film The Nice Guys doesn’t hit theaters until May 20th. Judging by the trailers, we’ve got another fantastic dark comedic crime thriller on our hands that could make for a great double feature with the Iron Man 3 director’s debut film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. We won’t know for sure if the movie is good until May, but we do know that the soundtrack is a good one, and it’s getting a risque vinyl LP soundtrack for adults only around the time the film hits theaters....

Cool Stuff: Dave Perillo’s Colorful ‘Pulp Fiction’ Print By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 12, 2016 5:00 am EST When it comes to pop culture artists, one of our favorites is undoubtedly Dave Perillo. His unique illustrations and signature square layouts always pop, and the artist even had his own Gallery 1988 show back in 2014. And with The Hateful Eight in theaters now, there’s no better time for the artist to debut a new print inspired by one of the films directed by Quentin Tarantino....

Has Chris Pratt Been Contacted About Indiana Jones? By Germain Lussier/Feb. 23, 2015 12:30 pm EST The Indiana Jones rumors continue to swirl and it feels like everyone is in the know except the principals. A few weeks back, Chris Pratt was cornered at an airport and asked about the rumors of him playing the role. He seemed fairly clueless about it. Then late last week, a report said that Steven Spielberg would be interested in directing a new film, if all the pieces fit....
