‘Ant-Man’ Trailer Should Be Released Soon By Germain Lussier/Dec. 26, 2014 10:30 am EST Marvel Studios is pretty great at giving fans a tease at their work as early as possible. In some cases, thanks to Comic Con, we’ve seen footage from their movies just one day into filming. So if director Peyton Reed finished production on Ant-Man on December 5, the fact a trailer was classified on December 23 kind of makes sense....

‘Ben-Hur’ First Look: Morgan Freeman Is The Chariot Racing Master By Jack Giroux/March 15, 2016 4:00 am EST Jack Huston has been on a star on the rise for the past few years now. After Boardwalk Empire and his strong supporting performances in Not Fade Away and Kill Your Darlings, he seemed destined to one day headline a big studio picture. A year and a half ago the actor landed the lead role in Timur Bekmambetov’s remake of Ben-Hur, and this could be his big break....

By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 25, 2016 7:00 am EST Keen observers probably noticed that the previous trailer for the second season of Daredevil had the designation of being “part one” and now we know why.

‘Ghostheads’ Trailer: Fans Use Their ‘Ghostbusters’ Passion To Do Some Good By Ethan Anderton/June 29, 2016 11:00 am EST There’s a sect of Ghostbusters fans who have been pretty nasty about the reboot of the 1984 classic that’s coming this summer. Not everyone who isn’t excited about the new movie is being vicious about it, but there’s certainly a very vocal, unnecessarily hateful group who are giving fans of Ivan Reitman’s movie a bad name....

‘Inside Out’ And ‘The Good Dinosaur’ Lead The 43rd Annual Annie Award Nominations By Jacob Hall/Dec. 1, 2015 10:30 am EST Check out the complete list of the 2016 Annie Award nominees after the jump. Unsurprisingly, it was Oscar-frontrunner Inside Out that led the pack with 14 nods.

‘Only Yesterday’ Trailer: ‘Star Wars’ Stars Help Bring Studio Ghibli’s “Lost Masterpiece” To The U.S. By Angie Han/Dec. 30, 2015 10:30 am EST When Daisy Ridley was first announced for the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we weren’t quite sure what to make of her, for the very good reason that we, like most people, had no idea who she was. But now that the movie’s finally opened, Ridley’s dazzled us all with her charm and talent, and we’re dying to see what she’ll do next....

‘Pacific Rim 2’ Delayed Indefinitely, May Be Cancelled Altogether By Angie Han/Sept. 16, 2015 9:30 am EST Pacific Rim 2 has just hit a kaiju-sized roadblock. The sci-fi action sequel has reportedly been “halted indefinitely,” after rumors of delays circulated last week. That could mean the film will just arrive a bit later than we’d hoped; it may also mean it’ll never get made. More on the Pacific Rim 2 delay after the jump....

2015 PGA And SAG Winners Announced; ‘Birdman’ Takes Top Prizes By Angie Han/Jan. 25, 2015 7:42 pm EST However, it was far from a clean sweep. Although Birdman won Best Ensemble at SAG (the guild’s closest equivalent to Best Picture), none of the three individual actors nominated for the film won their respective categories.
