Marc Webb Directing ‘Limitless’ Pilot By Russ Fischer/Feb. 4, 2015 5:30 am EST The next project from Marc Webb, who spent the last few years making the two Amazing Spider-Man movies for Sony, will be a superhero tale of sorts. But this new project won’t exactly be in the same vein he’s been mining of late. Webb is now set to direct the Limitless TV pilot, thereby launching the CBS series based on the Bradley Cooper film of the same name in which a drug can expand human mental capabilities to incredible levels....

By Jacob Hall/Oct. 21, 2015 7:30 am EST Actor Scott Shepherd may not have too many film credits to his name, but he seems to have everything required to become a great modern “that guy.” You know, an actor whose name you may not necessarily know, but whose presence is unmistakable. You watch him hold his own against Tom Hanks in Bridge of Spies and you’re convinced that you’ve seen him in a dozen other movies....

Watch Spike Lee’s Motion Capture Movie ‘Livin’ Da Dream’; ‘Chi-Raq’ Gets Release Date By Jack Giroux/Oct. 30, 2015 5:00 am EST Learn more after the jump. Lee is a diehard New York Knicks fan. That fact should help lessen the surprise of this news: the director has made a feature-length motion-capture movie called Livin’ Da Dream for the NBA 2K16 video game. The film expands on the “MyCareer” mode, and you follow a character nicknamed “Frequency Vibrations....

In the meantime, there have been a lot of rumors floating around, including word on which superheroes align themselves with Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr....

‘Halo: Nightfall’ Trailer: Finding Hell On A Halo Ring By Russ Fischer/Oct. 22, 2014 12:30 pm EST The second Halo: Nightfall trailer — that being the Ridley Scott-produced digital series directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzan – shows a bit more scope than what we saw in the first trailer. There’s a ship or two, a hint of the Covenant, and at least the backdrop of the vista of a Halo ring. Mike Colter (The Good Wife) stars as Jameson Locke, who is caught in a plot that is potentially both a political conspiracy and something like a bug hunt....

‘Magic Mike’ Honest Trailer: A Movie Too Self-Aware To Be Savaged By Russ Fischer/June 30, 2015 12:00 pm EST Magic Mike is a movie that knows exactly what it is. Sure, it might have been sold on the appeal of oiled abs and pecs, but you could also see the depth of the film coming a mile off. The Screen Junkies crew has a go at it, anyway, for the latest in their Honest Trailers series....

‘Peter Pan’ Honest Trailer: Creepier, More Sexist, And More Racist Than You Remembered By Angie Han/Sept. 24, 2015 11:00 am EST Pan is currently getting some not-so-great reviews on the festival circuit. But lest you be tempted to accuse Joe Wright of butchering an unassailable classic, Honest Trailers is here to remind you that Disney’s 1953 Peter Pan wasn’t so hot either. For starters, it’s a lot creepier than you probably remembered....

‘Splash’ Remake Is In The Works From Producer Brian Grazer By Jacob Hall/June 6, 2016 11:00 am EST There comes a point where you stop getting angry about the number of remakes in the Hollywood pipeline and just get a little sad and a little irritated. I’m not particularly perturbed that producer Brian Grazer has revealed that he’s working on a new version of Splash, but I did sigh and mutter “of course you are” as I started typing this paragraph after failing to concoct an even somewhat clever headline....
