New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Photos Featuring General Hux, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma [Updated With High-Res] By Angie Han/Aug. 13, 2015 11:55 am EST The bad news for Star Wars fans is that there won’t be any new The Force Awakens footage screened at D23 this weekend. But the good news is, we do have a slew of new photos to pore over and pick apart in the meantime — plus some juicy story details to go along with them....

Robert De Niro And Julianne Moore Will Star In A TV Show From David O. Russell By Jack Giroux/Aug. 9, 2016 3:30 pm EST We still don’t know the film David O. Russell intends on making next, but we do know the director behind Three Kings, American Hustle, and last year’s Joy is working on a television show. The filmmaker will soon shop around a TV drama starring a now frequent collaborator of his, Robert De Niro, and Julianne Moore....

Rooney Mara In Talks To Reunite With David Fincher For ‘Utopia’ By Russ Fischer/June 23, 2015 4:00 pm EST Even as one of David Fincher’s HBO series hits the skids, another appears to be picking up steam. Videosyncrazy, the music video industry comedy formerly called Living on Video and then Video Synchronicity, halted production a couple weeks ago, midway through shooting the first season. While we wait to hear if that show has died for good, or is just being reworked, there’s word on forward motion for Fincher’s other proposed HBO show....

Rooney Mara Says She’s Still Up For ‘Dragon Tattoo’ Sequel: “As Far As I Know I’m Doing It” By Angie Han/Nov. 14, 2015 10:00 am EST A few weeks back, word got around that Sony was finally moving forward with a The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo sequel – without David Fincher, Daniel Craig, or Rooney Mara. But that last part seems to be news to Mara. The actress says she’s still attached to the franchise, as far as she knows, and that “of course” she’d love to make another....

The Skrulls Could Appear In The Marvel Cinematic Universe By Peter Sciretta/July 7, 2016 10:30 am EST But those rights also include many of the characters from those comic books. The whole thing is very complex, and ownership usually is determined by which comic book series the character first appeared in. For many years we believed the Skrulls rights to be locked up by 20th Century Fox, but apparently Marvel still owns the rights to some of the Skrulls....

VOTD: ‘Jurassic World’ Fan Trailers Offer Something Different Than The Official Version By Russ Fischer/Nov. 26, 2014 3:55 pm EST There’s a lot in the Jurassic World trailer, as we thoroughly dissected yesterday. But one editor had the idea that less is more, and while it’s not our place to say that the first look at the film showed too much there’s something persuasive in this short Jurassic World trailer. The one-minute edit of the footage is cut very much to the tune of the recent Godzilla trailers that worked so well....

VOTD: ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Gives ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’ A Litchfield Makeover By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 24, 2015 3:00 pm EST Here’s the Orange is the New Black Christmas greeting: It doesn’t sound like the girls at Litchfield are going to be on the nice list next year since they all decide to gang up on Santa Claus (or “an old white dude” as he’s referred to in this new version) and steal all the stuff he has in his bag....

Will Ferrell Is Set To Star In One Of The Two Competing Uber Movies By Jack Giroux/April 23, 2016 9:00 am EST Learn more about the competing Uber movies below. We recently saw Disney and Warner Bros. go through a similar experience with The Jungle Book movies. Even after the success of Disney’s reimagining, Warner Bros. is still moving forward with Andy Serkis’ The Jungle Book, but with help from Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron....

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Deleted Scene: Thor And Vision Punch Each Other In The Face A Bunch By Jacob Hall/Dec. 8, 2015 3:30 pm EST I’ve gone the record many times that I’m a big fan of Avengers: Age of Ultron and will do so again here: I am a big fan of Avengers: Age of Ultron. I like its weird energy and how jam-packed with stuff it is. I love the banter between these characters and I love watching their relationships put through the grinder....

“Path Of A Lightsaber” Tracks The Journey Of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Weapon, From Anakin To ‘The Force Awakens’ By Jacob Hall/March 30, 2016 6:00 am EST The lightsaber that belonged to both Anakin and Luke Skywalker plays a major role in Star Wars: the Force Awakens, essentially making it one of the Star Wars saga’s most prominent characters. A new video chronicling how it went from point A to point B has arrived online and it’s a surprisingly compelling look at one of cinema’s most iconic items....

‘The Driftless Area’ Trailer: Have You Started Any Fires Lately? By Jack Giroux/Feb. 1, 2016 12:30 pm EST A film with Anton Yelchin, Zooey Deschanel, Aubrey Plaza, John Hawkes, Frank Langella, Alia Shawkat, and Ciarán Hinds shouldn’t be flying so far under the radar. The Driftless Area premiered last spring at the Tribecca Film Festival, where it was met with mixed reviews. Based on the trailer for the surreal crime love story, it’s easy to see why....

‘The Fundamentals Of Caring’ Trailer: Paul Rudd & Craig Roberts See Some Lame Landmarks By Ethan Anderton/May 30, 2016 9:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If Captain America: Civil War didn’t give you enough Paul Rudd for the summer, Netflix has the remedy. The streaming service picked up the indie comedy The Fundamentals of Caring from the Sundance Film Festival, and now it’s debuting exclusively on Netflix next weekend....

‘The Nice Guys’ Animated Short: “Blood As Boozy As Railroad Hobo” By Jack Giroux/May 20, 2016 5:00 am EST If there’s one movie I hope is a hit this summer, it’s Shane Black’s The Nice Guys. While the original buddy detective movie was pegged as a slight underdog going into the summer movie season, it has a lot going for it. Besides starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, there isn’t another movie like The Nice Guys coming out anytime soon....

‘Warcraft’ Will Screen One Day Early On Select IMAX 3D Screens, Will Open Early In China By Jacob Hall/May 5, 2016 1:30 pm EST We’re just over a month away from the theatrical bow of Warcraft and Duncan Jones’ adaptation of the hugely popular video game series still looks like one of the summer’s biggest risks. Despite the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Harry Potter series, fantasy is generally a tough sell with audiences…and Warcraft looks like a dungeon master’s notebook brought to life and injected with as many bright colors as humanly possible....

By Fred Topel/March 28, 2016 4:00 am EST “We’re not going so far as to have that sort of puppetry really on the nose aspect of it, but we definitely didn’t want to burnish away the style of the original,” said head writer Rob Hoegee. “Sometimes you’ll see when a ship comes in to land, while it’s a CG ship, every once in a while there’ll be a little bit of herky-jerkiness to it so it looks like it’s a model on a string coming down to land in the dirt....

Behind The Scenes Of ‘Deadpool’: See How Five Different Actors Brought Colossus To Life By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 20, 2016 12:00 pm EST It’s no secret that Deadpool is all the rage right now, and a sequel is already in development at 20th Century Fox. With a visual effects wizard like Tim Miller behind the camera as director for the first time, it’s no surprise to see how visual effects were utilized perfectly to help bring Deadpool to life, making his masked face express a variety of emotions like the character does in the comic....

Bradley Cooper May Play Man’s Best Friend In ‘A Dog’s Purpose’ By Jack Giroux/Oct. 16, 2015 2:00 pm EST Bradley Cooper has convincingly portrayed a sniper, a coked-up FBI agent, a camp counselor, a talking raccoon with an anger problem, and, many times over his career, the generic wisecracking best friend in romantic comedies. If he can accomplish all of that, why couldn’t he pull off playing a dog? Learn more about the Bradley Cooper talking dog movie, A Dog’s Purpose, after the jump....

Dan Aykroyd Hints A “More Conventional” ‘Ghostbusters’ Sequel Could Still Happen By Germain Lussier/Feb. 18, 2015 8:46 am EST For 25 years, Ghostbusters co-creator and star Dan Aykroyd was trying to get a third movie made. Scripts were written and rewritten, creating legions of stories about the franchise future, but nothing ever came of it. Then Paul Feig came on board with a new idea: reboot the franchise with four women....

The studio has announced four more for the next four years, along with two more animated films. Get the new Disney live action fairy tale release dates after the jump....
