By Russ Fischer/April 6, 2015 1:30 pm EST Burying the Ex is the latest film from director Joe Dante; it’s a horror/comedy that sets up a big metaphor for being unable to escape the problems of old relationships. See, Max (Anton Yelchin), is having a difficult time with his girlfriend Evelyn (Ashely Greene) — much more so after she is killed and returns as a zombie.

‘Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee’ Season 6 Trailer Teases A ‘Seinfeld’ Reunion By Angie Han/May 27, 2015 7:30 am EST Just ahead of Seinfeld’s Hulu premiere, two of the show’s stars are reuniting for a much more modest venture: a quick drive and a cup of coffee.

‘Criminal’ Trailer: Kevin Costner Has Ryan Reynolds On His Mind, Literally By Jacob Hall/Feb. 12, 2016 5:00 am EST The first trailer for director Ariel Vromen’s Criminal looks familiar, but in an oddly comforting way. After watching this footage, you can assemble the entire plot of the film in your head, predict every character arc, and call every twist, but it still feels perfectly fine. This is the kind of mid-range, slightly predictable thriller that we need in our lives, a vehicle for good actors to remind your why you like them....

‘Foxcatcher’ Trailer: Steve Carell Has Great Power Over Channing Tatum’s Life By Russ Fischer/Oct. 14, 2014 10:30 am EST Here’s a new trailer for Bennett Miller’s new film Foxcatcher before it hits theaters in November.

‘Jurassic World 2’: ‘The Impossible’ Helmer Juan Antonio Bayona To Direct By Angie Han/April 18, 2016 10:33 am EST Much in the way that a hubristic entrepreneur might revive a long-extinct species, Colin Trevorrow resurrected the dormant Jurassic Park franchise last year with Jurassic World. But while bringing dinos back to life has only ever gone poorly for the humans within the Jurassic Park universe, the relaunch worked out spectacularly in ours....

‘Mission: Impossible 6’ Already Developing At Paramount? By Ethan Anderton/May 25, 2015 5:00 am EST Audiences won’t be feasting their eyes on Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation until July 31st, but that’s much earlier than the initial Christmas release that Paramount Pictures had planned. And in addition to being unable to wait to release the sequel in theaters, the studio is also jumping the gun on development of yet another sequel....

‘Personal Shopper’ Trailer: Kristen Stewart Reunites With ‘Clouds Of Sils Maria’ Director Olivier Assayas By Jack Giroux/May 18, 2016 6:00 am EST Acclaimed filmmaker Olivier Assayas’ latest drama, Personal Shopper, recently premiered at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. The reception was mixed for the unconventional ghost story, which stars Kristen Stewart, but plenty of critics and audience members were fond of the film. Plus, if the intentional trailer and the plot description are an indication, a polarizing reaction sounds about right....

The conflicts in Afghanistan and Pakistan are no laughing matter, but that’s what makes Whiskey Tango Foxtrot look like such an intriguing and promising concept. Based on journalist Kim Barker’s wartime memoir The Taliban Shuffle, the film follows Tina Fey as an American reporter who decides to take her talents to the Middle East for the first time, learning first-hand the challenges of being a woman in the area....

Aca-Scuse Me? ‘Pitch Perfect 3’ Loses Director Elizabeth Banks By Angie Han/June 3, 2016 2:30 pm EST Earlier this week we heard Universal Pictures had delayed Pitch Perfect 3 by five months, moving it from summer 2017 to Christmas. Now it appears some of that extra time will go toward finding a new director. Elizabeth Banks is no longer set to helm Pitch Perfect 3, although she will continue to serve as a producer as she did on the first two films....

Brad Bird Gives An ‘Incredibles 2’ Status Update By Russ Fischer/Sept. 14, 2015 3:00 pm EST Bird told Collider, But don’t expect to get a release date out of Bird at this point, in part because that in-progress status means that things are still very subject to change. I have the story arc. I’m probably three-quarters through the script, first pass through the script, but we’re already boarding parts of it....

Odd City Entertainment announced that they’ve teamed with Paramount Pictures to make an officially licensed poster for Tony Scott’s iconic action film, Top Gun.

Disney’s ‘Moana’ International Trailer Introduces Baby Moana By Peter Sciretta/July 20, 2016 9:00 am EST In June we shared with you the first trailer for Walt Disney Animation’s next film Moana, which mostly focused on Dwayne Johnson’s character, demigod Maui. A new international trailer hit the web last night, showing a completely different sequence from early in the film.

By Angie Han/Sept. 24, 2015 4:00 pm EST Yorgos Lanthimos is lining up a high-powered cast for The Favourite, as Kate Winslet, Emma Stone, and Olivia Colman have all entered talks to star. That’s not too surprising, considering the success he’s had with Dogtooth and now The Lobster. No, the weird part is how un-weird it sounds. As far as we can tell, The Favourite is a pretty straightforward historical drama....

Gina Carano And Colossus Will Both Be In ‘Deadpool’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 13, 2015 1:01 pm EST The Deadpool movie will basically ignore the existence of the first solo Wolverine movie, but the new film won’t forget the character’s roots in Marvel Comics stories featuring mutant characters.

Go Behind The Scenes Of ‘The Revenant’ With These Gorgeous Photos By Jack Giroux/Oct. 28, 2015 9:30 am EST Whenever I see the trailer for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant play in a theater, everyone goes silent. The intense mood and images just shut everybody up. You can feel the cold and harsh conditions in that footage. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (Birdman) used no electrical lighting, only natural lighting. Throughout principal photography – which went over schedule and over budget — Lubezki was sharing some beautiful photos from the locations on his Instagram account (via Indiewire)....
