The more I think about it, the more I love it. It’s a quiet movie, one that speaks to you through performances and visuals, not always dialogue. It’s a rare movie, in that sense, and it’s one of the many reasons why you should all see it in a theater....

Adam McKay Looking To Direct Marvel Movie By Angie Han/Oct. 23, 2014 8:31 am EST Back in the hectic days of summer, Adam McKay was named as one of many possibilities to replace director Edgar Wright on Ant-Man.

Chris Hemsworth Gets A ‘Ghostbusters’ Uniform, Too By Russ Fischer/Aug. 17, 2015 4:00 pm EST In Ghostbusters, the original film, the closest Annie Potts got to suiting up for action was putting on a come-hither look for Harold Ramis’s character Egon. In Ghostbusters, the new film from Paul Feig, Chris Hemsworth plays a similar receptionist character to the one played by Potts in the original. This time, however, it seems like the new Ghostbuster team at least has an extra uniform laying around, as Hemsworth is suited up in a boiler suit similar to the one worn by the main cast (above)....

Ridley Scott Gives ‘Prometheus 2’ Another New Title By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 15, 2015 2:00 pm EST In a discussion this past weekend at the AFI Film Festival (via The Playlist), Scott began talking about how he came to be involved with The Martian, and that’s when the new title was nonchalantly mentioned: While Paradise Lost was a reference to John Milton’s classic 16th century epic poem which detailed the end of mankind, the new title is a little less ominous, and even more interesting....

Star Wars Cologne Will Let You Smell Like A Jedi, Sith Or Amidala By Peter Sciretta/June 13, 2016 4:30 pm EST When it was announced that Star Wars-themed lands would be constructed in Disneyland and Disney World, one of the weird asides was that we’ll finally get to take in the smells of the creatures and food of this galaxy far far away. But it looks like you won’t have to wait until The Star Wars Experience opens later this decade (unofficial estimate, no opining date has been officially announced) to find out what a Jedi smells like....

There’s A Good Reason Why ‘Goonies 2’ Hasn’t Happened Yet By Germain Lussier/Jan. 12, 2015 10:30 am EST When the director of a movie says it’s going to happen, you generally believe it’s going to happen. That’s what occurred last spring with Richard Donner, director of The Goonies, said “We’re doing a sequel.” That was news to some of the film’s stars, like Sean Astin and Corey Feldman. Astin seemed confident the film would happen, but had a more specific update that producers were looking for writers based on a solid outline....
Zack Snyder Wanted Christian Bale For A Non-Batman Part In ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ By Jack Giroux/March 11, 2016 12:00 pm EST Based on the trailers, the tone of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice couldn’t be further removed from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, because there is no way Doomsday or Wonder Woman would’ve felt right in Nolan’s reality. Director Zack Snyder is taking Batman in a new direction, which is why having actor Christian Bale in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice probably wouldn’t have been such a hot idea....
