New ‘Walking Dead’ Season Six Photos And Details On Three New Characters Surface By Ethan Anderton/July 29, 2015 12:00 pm EST While we were at Comic-Con in San Diego earlier this month, we learned quite a bit about the forthcoming sixth season of The Walking Dead premiering in October (check out our full panel recap right here). And the lengthy trailer for the new season also teased plenty of confrontation, zombie action, and even a few new characters in Alexandria....

The Everdeens Go Gothic In New ‘Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2’ Poster By Germain Lussier/May 13, 2015 9:45 am EST Hunger Games fans are everywhere, and some in France are going to get something pretty interesting. A brand new “commemorative” Hunger Games poster has been made for the Cannes Film Festival, featuring the Everdeen sisters, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Prim (Willow Shields), in a stoic, American Gothic-influenced pose. It’s a striking, odd image that’s sure to give fans pause as we approach The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2....

Watch The ‘2001’ Opening With Alex North’s Original Score By Russ Fischer/Dec. 26, 2014 1:00 pm EST The music of Richard Strauss and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey are all but inseparable at this point, as the fanfare from Strauss’ composition ‘Also sprach Zarathustra’ became the unforgettable sonic accompaniment to the opening of Kubrick’s film. But the movie was originally going to be scored by Alex North. In fact, North composed an entire score for the film, which Kubrick ultimately discarded....

Zack Snyder Responds To Steven Spielberg’s Superhero Comments: “I Feel Like He’s Right” By Angie Han/Sept. 10, 2015 8:30 am EST We’re in a boom time for superhero movies, with something like 20 more planned for the next five years. Nevertheless, Steven Spielberg predicted last week that it wouldn’t last, saying the genre would “go the way of the Western.” And surprisingly, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder doesn’t necessarily disagree....

‘Doctor Strange’ Confirms Cast; Read The First Synopsis By Angie Han/Nov. 25, 2015 5:00 am EST Marvel Studios has officially announced the start of production on Doctor Strange… three weeks after the first set photos surfaced on the web. Yeah, we were already onto you, Marvel. Still, that press release is useful for confirming certain details about the studio’s mysterious new movie. It reveals the star-studded cast (which includes Mads Mikkelsen, previously reported only as being in talks) and the crew (which is made up almost entirely of Marvel vets)....

‘Ghostbusters 2’ Honest Trailer: It’s Seriously Exactly The Same As The First One But Way Worse By Ethan Anderton/July 13, 2016 4:30 am EST While there are plenty of fans claiming that the new Ghostbusters movie will ruin their childhood, most who haven’t even seen the whole movie yet, it’s a wonder that it wasn’t already ruined. Because while the reboot is undoubtedly an attempt by Sony Pictures to cash in on the nostalgia and love for the original movie, Ghostbusters 2 already did that in 1989....

‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ Sets Up More Possible Sequels, Introduces New Aliens By Ethan Anderton/April 22, 2016 11:30 am EST At CinemaCon last week, much of the cast was on hand to help promote the movie, and with that came some new tidbits on the sequel. First up, even though we’ve seen these nasty invaders in the flesh, including their more menacing biological suits that protect them, they’re not the only ones we’ll have to contend with when the aliens come back....

‘Justified’ Exec Producer Bringing Elmore Leonard’s ‘Gunsights’ To TV By Angie Han/June 22, 2015 12:30 pm EST Elmore Leonard proved to be a rich mine of material for FX’s Justified, which spun six great seasons out of his short story “Fire in the Hole.” Now Justified executive producer Chris Provenzano is looking to dip back into the Leonard oeuvre for a new project. Provenzano is working on a new AMC series called Gunsights, based on Leonard’s Western novel set in 1893 Arizona....

‘Straight Outta Compton’ Writer Scripting ‘Scarface’ Remake By Russ Fischer/March 18, 2015 11:00 am EST Jonathan Herman wrote a film that includes the story behind the song ‘Gangsta Gangsta,’ and now he’s moving to the reinvention of a classic film gangster. After going through a couple drafts, Universal wanted a new Scarface remake writer, and it makes sense, really, that the studio would turn to the Straight Outta Compton writer. He’ll rewrite the script for the new version of Scarface that will chart the rise of an LA-based immigrant to illicit power....

‘The Bronze’ Red-Band Trailer “Puts The Nasty In Gymnastics” By Jack Giroux/Nov. 18, 2015 4:30 pm EST The opening night movie of this year’s Sundance Film Festival was a bit of a letdown. In 2014, Whiplash kicked off the fest, starting things off with a bang. This year, though, the festival started with a whimper. Director Bryan Buckley’s The Bronze is about a female antihero, which could have made for a great change of pace because we see enough terribly flawed or tortured male characters....

‘Wild Tales’ Director Will Script ‘The Six Billion Dollar Man’ By Russ Fischer/April 29, 2015 5:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The price tag has gone up, but so has the level of prestige. The TV show that in the ’70s was The Six Million Dollar Man is becoming The Six Billion-Dollar Man for a new film. And Oscar-nominated writer/director Damian Szifron, who saw his film Wild Tales grabbing a Best Foreign Film Oscar nomination, this year, will script the film for director Peter Berg and star Mark Wahlberg....

Average US Movie Ticket Price Climbs To All-Time High By Russ Fischer/July 23, 2015 7:00 am EST Now the average US movie ticket price has climbed again. The good news: it’s still under nine bucks. The bad: we’ll probably have to write this story again, and sooner rather than later. THR reports the average US movie ticket price is now $8.61, which is 3.36% more than the average for this quarter last year, and quite a lot more than the $8....

Exclusive: The ‘Let’s Be Evil’ Poster Promises A Nightmarish Spin On Augmented Reality By Jacob Hall/July 12, 2016 11:00 am EST Unless you’ve been living in total isolation for the past week, you’ve surely heard about Pokemon Go, the new mobile game that uses augmented reality technology to allow users to search the physical world for adorable little monsters that only exist through their smartphone cameras. While virtual reality has been the Next Big Thing in gaming for years now, Pokemon Go feels like the first step in a revolution....

LOL: ‘SNL’ Spoofs ‘Dead Poets Society’ In One Of The Best Sketches Of The Season By Ethan Anderton/May 22, 2016 9:00 am EST O captain! My captain! Last night Saturday Night Live brought its 41st season to a close with a finale hosted by former cast member Fred Armisen. The episode ended the season on a high note, but we’ll get to our full review of that a little later today....

The film is being written and directed by Kate Maberly, who moved from acting into writing and directing with the short Charlie’s Supersonic Glider.

Michael Fassbender Will Play The Dude In ‘The Big Lebowski’ Live Read By Russ Fischer/July 7, 2015 10:30 am EST If the idea of seeing Michael Fassbender as the Dude in The Big Lebowski sounds weird and terrific, then Jason Reitman’s next live-read is for you. He’ll mount a one-night-only stage reading of the Joel and Ethan Coen script in Montreal later this month, with Fassbender in the role originally played to perfection by Jeff Bridges....

Ben Affleck Batman Suit - Black and White & Color [Images removed at studio request] Obviously, this is a suit very heavily influenced by The Dark Knight Returns. The grey colors, the wide Batsymbol, the modest ears. The utility belt is a bit darker than that comic, though, and the muscles built into the suit are different. But that’s become a necessity in big screen batsuits, so it makes sense....

Official Synopsis For ‘Marvel’s Most Wanted’ Hints At Some Big Twists For ‘Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ By Angie Han/Feb. 23, 2016 10:00 am EST First ABC decided they wanted an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff, and then they decided they didn’t, and then they felt like they weren’t sure, and then, way back in August, they finally gave Marvel’s Most Wanted an official pilot order. Now some more details have been revealed about the new series featuring Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and Nick Blood (Lance Hunter), and it suggests some interesting developments up ahead for Agents of S....

Richard Linklater’s Next Gets 2016 Release Date, Sony Courts Him For ‘The Rosie Project’ By Russ Fischer/July 27, 2015 1:30 pm EST Richard Linklater has already completed his follow-up to Boyhood — when your last feature took over a decade to make, pretty much any other turnaround seems quick. The movie has been called That’s What I’m Talking About, and also referred to as Everybody Wants Some, but the current status pegs it as Untitled Richard Linklater movie....
