‘Central Intelligence’ Trailer: A Little Kevin Hart And A Big Dwayne Johnson By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 20, 2015 9:30 am EST Teaming up Kevin Hart with Ice Cube in Ride Along worked for some people, and the movie was enough of a box office hit to warrant a sequel next year. Personally, it just wasn’t what I was looking for as far as quality comedy writing goes. However, as someone who isn’t really a fan of Hart’s comedy, the first trailer for Central Intelligence, teaming him up with Dwayne Johnson, actually looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun....

‘Lego Batman’ Casts The Last Person You’d Expect [UPDATED] By Angie Han/Nov. 9, 2015 10:30 am EST UPDATE: THR’s Borys Kit has learned that Mariah Carey is not playing Commissioner Gordon, as previously reported, but rather the mayor of Gotham City. Original story follows. Warner Bros.’ The Lego Batman Movie boasts some pretty inspired casting. Gravel-voiced Will Arnett proved in The Lego Movie that he was the perfect choice to play a comedic spin on mainstream comics’ most self-consciously “gritty” superhero, and we couldn’t think of a better pick to play his poor beleaguered sidekick Robin than Arnett’s Arrested Development nephew Michael Cera....

Christopher McQuarrie Breaks Down ‘Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation’ Opera Sequence By Russ Fischer/Aug. 3, 2015 3:30 pm EST When we examined all the action scenes and setpieces in the Mission: Impossible film series, I ranked the Vienna Opera sequence from Rogue Nation as number three out of all the series’s accomplishments, behind the Burj Khalifa sequence from Ghost Protocol and the wire hang from the original film. The Rogue Nation opera sequence is a complex piece of work, with multiple characters navigating the backstage area of the Vienna State Opera House — in reality a collection of sets built with more verisimilitude than usual — and incredible timing and definition of space to help audiences keep track of the intersecting trajectories of all the characters....
