Superhero Bits: Deadpool, Civil War, Ant-Man, Avengers Age Of Ultron, Batman V Superman, Daredevil By Germain Lussier/May 11, 2015 4:30 pm EST Want to see not one but two new images from Deadpool? What’s revealed in new teases for this week’s Flash and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? If superhero movies are the biggest thing in America, what does that say about America? Are there new images of the Batwing from Batman v Superman?...

The Final ‘Suicide Squad’ Trailer: It’s Bad Versus Evil By Jack Giroux/July 23, 2016 1:42 pm EST At last year’s Comic-Con, we got our first look at David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. The response to the trailer was enthusiastic, and since then, we’ve seen no shortage of footage, most recently the new extended TV spots highlighting the villains in the ensemble film. If you want another look at the comic book movie, though, then Warner Bros....

Wes Anderson Meets ‘The Shining’ In ‘The Grand Overlook Hotel’ Mash-Up By Ethan Anderton/May 30, 2015 2:00 pm EST Watch The Grand Overlook Hotel after the jump! Thanks to Birth.Movies.Death for bringing this to our attention. Mash-ups are a dime a dozen online, but this one is genuinely remarkable. It’s a seamless blend of two drastically different films. But the framing of shots and movement of the camera, not to mention the aesthetic of The Grand Buadpest Hotel and The Overlook Hotel, match up so well....

‘Anomalisa’ Featurette: Explore The Handmade World Of Charlie Kaufman’s Latest By Jack Giroux/Nov. 30, 2015 2:30 pm EST The wait is almost over for Charlie Kaufman’s sophomore directorial effort. Co-directed by Duke Johnson and written by Kaufman, Anomalisa is a gorgeous and moving love story about a man who can’t accept love. Oh, and it happens to be a stop-motion picture. After the jump, watch an Anomalisa featurette that shows how the filmmakers made it happen....

‘Child 44’ Trailer: Tom Hardy Chases A Killer In Soviet Russia By Angie Han/Jan. 27, 2015 11:30 am EST Tom Hardy has never met an accent he didn’t like, whether it’s Bostonian in The Drop, Welsh in Locke, or whatever the hell he’s doing in The Dark Knight Rises. In his new movie Child 44, he gets to take midcentury Russian out for a spin. Directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House), the thriller follows police agent Leo Demidov (Hardy) in Soviet-era Russia....

‘Gotham’ Trailer: Villains Are Rising By Russ Fischer/Aug. 24, 2015 10:00 am EST No matter what the tangle of characters and storylines might be, if Gotham is really going to run with the Joker, then he’s likely to dominate the show. He certainly makes one of the biggest impressions in this new trailer for the show’s second season, if only because actor Cameron Monaghan has a laugh that is very classic Joker....

‘Men & Chicken’ Trailer: These Brothers Really Like Chickens By Jack Giroux/April 1, 2016 3:00 pm EST Without a doubt, we won’t witness another comedy quite like Men & Chicken this year. I was lucky enough to see the film at Fantastic Fest a few months ago, following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and it’s an offbeat story about family that grows richer and funnier with time....

‘Mr. Right’ Trailer: Sam Rockwell Is The Sexy Rain Man By Jack Giroux/Feb. 10, 2016 1:30 pm EST Mr. Right premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. The film, written by Max Landis, was met with mostly negative reviews. Landis is coming off of last year’s American Ultra and Victor Frankenstein, and both movies failed to connect with audiences and critics. While I’d argue the stoner love story is better than it’s given credit for, Mr....

‘Show Me A Hero’ Trailer: Oscar Isaac Stars In ‘The Wire’ Creator’s New HBO Miniseries By Angie Han/July 13, 2015 6:00 am EST On the cusp of his biggest movie role yet, Oscar Isaac is making his first major foray into television. Isaac stars in Show Me a Hero, a new miniseries by The Wire creator David Simon and Crash director Paul Haggis, as real-life Yonkers, New York mayor Nick Wasicsko....

‘The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies’ Trailer: Is The Mountain Not Enough? By Russ Fischer/Nov. 6, 2014 10:00 am EST Warner Bros. tweeted the trailer: Will you follow us #OneLastTime? Watch the exclusive new trailer for #TheHobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies!https://t.co/EWLpU9jeST — The Hobbit (@TheHobbitMovie) November 6, 2014 OK, for one, where’s Smaug? This trailer makes me wonder if I forgot something big from the end of the last film....

‘The Signal’ Director William Eubank Set For ‘World Breaker’ By Angie Han/Oct. 27, 2014 12:00 pm EST Personally, I found The Signal to be kind of a mess on the storytelling front — but a well-acted, stunningly shot mess that showed a lot of promise on Eubank’s part. Hopefully World Breaker will prove to be a big step forward for Eubank, with many more to come.

‘Victoria’ Trailer: Two Hours Of Single-Take Action By Russ Fischer/July 27, 2015 4:30 pm EST Victoria started doing the rounds at festivals early this year, and I’ve talked to more and more people who really admire it, and at times even love it, after it plays each successive festival. What’s the big deal? In this case, it’s that the film was captured in one single shot, running over two hours. And, while part of me thinks 2+ hours is a long time to watch a single-take experiment, the rest of me is totally game for it....

‘Wild Tales’ Trailer: Argentina’s Oscar Nominee Is Out For Revenge By Angie Han/Feb. 4, 2015 11:30 am EST If the 2015 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar contenders look kind of, well, foreign, that’s probably because only three have opened in the U.S. so far. But they are coming, slowly but surely, and the next to land on our shores is Argentina’s Wild Tales. Produced by Pedro Almodóvar and directed by Damián Szifrón, Wild Tales unveils six separate tales of revenge....

A Movie Like Black Panther Has Never Been Done, Says Chadwick Boseman By Germain Lussier/Nov. 4, 2014 4:00 pm EST The biggest news that came out of the recent Marvel Studios event was the addition of Black Panther to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, we knew it was coming. Unlike many other films revealed, however we found out not only the solo film release date, we found out which film would introduce the character (Captain America: Civil War) and the actor playing him, Chadwick Boseman....

Another ‘Zootopia’ Trailer And New ‘Zootopia’ Clips Lay It On Thick With The Animal Puns By Angie Han/Jan. 29, 2016 10:30 am EST Talking animals are nothing new in the world of Disney animated features, but Zootopia takes them to a whole new level by presenting an entire city built, populated, and run by mammals. There are hamster businessmen, shrew mobsters, and a lion mayor. Our protagonists are a fox con artist (voiced by Jason Bateman) and a rabbit police officer (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin)....

Chris O’Dowd, John Ortiz, And More Join The ‘God Particle’ Cast By Jack Giroux/May 27, 2016 3:00 pm EST The cast for the J.J. Abrams-produced God Particle keeps getting better and better. The latest additions to Julius Onah’s (The Girl in Trouble) film are Chris O’Dowd (The Sapphires), John Ortiz (Togetherness), Aksel Hennie (The Martian), and Zhang Ziyi (The Grandmaster). Production on the sci-fi film, which may or may not be related to Cloverfield, begins June 10th....

Christopher Nolan “Lives And Dies With Each New Bit Of Information About” Star Wars 7 By Germain Lussier/Nov. 10, 2014 12:00 pm EST These days, so many of us get on the Internet with one thing in mind: More Star Wars. Since October of 2013 when it was announced that Episode VII of the Star Wars saga was coming, many of us spend every day, at least partially, thinking about it....

Director Josh Boone Confirms He’s Still Working On The ‘Interview With The Vampire’ Reboot By Jack Giroux/May 4, 2016 4:30 pm EST Almost two years ago, Universal renewed the rights for Anne Rice’s 13-part Vampire Chronicles books. News broke that Brian Grazer would produce The Vampire Lestat for Imagine Entertainment with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Bobby Cohen. A week or so later after the announcement, The Fault In Our Stars director Josh Boone entered early talks to write and direct the film....

Here’s Why They’re Not Doing Back-To-Back ‘Independence Day’ Sequels By Germain Lussier/Dec. 7, 2014 10:00 am EST Well, that’s not the case at all. It’s much more logical than that. In a new interview, series co-creator and producer Dean Devlin explains the reasoning for only making one Independence Day sequel. For now. Devlin spoke to Nerd Report about the Independence Day sequels and the thought process behind not going with the back to back plan that had been in the works for years:...

How Pixar’s ‘The Good Dinosaur’ Has Been Changed; See A New Image By Germain Lussier/Nov. 19, 2014 8:00 am EST A director swap, a 18 month delay, what exactly when went down behind the scenes of Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur. In an alternate world, we’d have already seen the movie by now, as it was originally scheduled for release Summer 2014. However, story problems forced the film to get delayed a year and a half, change directors, and change a lot of what was happening in the movie....
