LOL: Harry Potter Meets Muggle Magic By Angie Han/Feb. 13, 2015 7:30 am EST As Muggles, we oohed and ahhed over the magical world introduced in the Harry Potter series. But what would happen if Harry and his wizard pals encountered Muggle magic? You know, the kind that Gob Bluth, Barney Stinson, and the Four Horsemen like to practice? A hilarious parody video answers just that question. Watch it after the jump....
LOL: Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar Campaign Has Been Turned Into A Playable Video Game By Angie Han/Feb. 16, 2016 4:00 pm EST If there’s one story even casual moviegoers have heard about this year’s Oscars, it’s — okay, it’s actually probably #OscarsSoWhite, the uncomfortable but desperately necessary conversation about race in the movie industry. But if there are two stories they’ve heard, the other is probably about Leonardo DiCaprio. Namely, the fact that he’s never won an Oscar and he would really, really, really like to....
LOL: Watch Stan Lee And Jim Henson Engage In An Epic Rap Battle By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 4, 2015 7:00 am EST There’s a chance you might remember when we called attention to an installment of Epic Rap Battles of History because it featured Steven Spielberg and Alfred Hitchcock going head to head in a face-off of crushing rhymes about film. It’s as amusing as it is surreal of a concept to even think about....
Lupita Nyong’o Says Her ‘Force Awakens’ Character Won’t Be Seen Until The Movie By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 19, 2015 3:00 pm EST We don’t know much about Lupita Nyong’o’s character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And we might not learn anymore about her role until we see the movie. Even with “Force Friday” quickly approaching, the actress believes we won’t see Maz Kanata until we see the character on the big screen in the film....
Matthew McConaughey Possibly Cast In Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 25, 2014 8:33 am EST Josh Boone’s plans for Stephen King’s The Stand are grand. Four movies, if all goes according to plan. If that plan is to work, he’s going to need “a cast that’s going to blow people’s minds,” or so he recently said on a podcast. He may have already started making that statement true as Matthew McConaughy is reportedly in talked to play Randall Flagg, the main villain of the story....
Multiple Actors Up For Roles Of Jean Grey And Cyclops In ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 18, 2014 4:30 pm EST Bryan Singer once again has the unenviable task of casting two of Marvel’s most iconic X-Men. Back in 2000, the director brought in Famke Janssen and James Marsden to play Jean Grey and Cyclops, rolls that extended through and including this year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. But now that the series is continuing on with the X-Men: First Class versions of the characters in X-Men Apocalypse, he has to cast those two crucial roles again....
New ‘Batman V Superman’ Photos, Plus Details On The Prologue That Fuels Batman’s Rage By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 23, 2015 12:00 pm EST Everyone has been going crazy over Star Wars: The Force Awakens this week, which means some new photos from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice got a little overshadowed by all the buzz from a galaxy far, far away. The new images don’t reveal much from the forthcoming face-off between DC Comics’ most iconic superheroes, but new details about the prologue involving Bruce Wayne and the origin of his rage and distrust of Superman are worth pointing out....
New ‘The X-Files’ Revival Posters Bring Back The Smoking Man By Jacob Hall/Nov. 12, 2015 7:00 am EST Check out the rest of the X-Files posters after the jump. We’ve known for a long time that Davis would be returning for this six-episode miniseries and his distinct rasp has shown up in previous trailers. Still, fans have been wondering about the exact nature of his grand return. After all, the last time we saw him in the series finale, he was (13-year-old spoiler alert) being definitively killed for the second time....
New Images: ‘Doctor Strange’ Comic-Con Poster, ‘Kong: Skull Island’, ‘Power Rangers’ By Angie Han/July 15, 2016 4:30 pm EST Next week is Comic-Con, where we’ll surely get much better looks at some of our most highly anticipated upcoming releases.

The Anakin Skywalker Reference That Was Cut From ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ By Peter Sciretta/May 2, 2016 3:30 pm EST Its not a new phenomenon, a lot of movie trailers feature shots from movies that don’t end up on the big screen. This usually takes the form of scenes or moments that hit the cutting room floor in the time between the early marketing and release date. And with big budget visual effects films, its not uncommon to see many different iterations of a computer rendering that evolves into a much better looking effect by the time it hits multiplexes....
‘Captain America: Civil War’ Super Bowl Spot: United We Stand, Divided We Fall [UPDATED] By Angie Han/Feb. 7, 2016 3:09 pm EST The Super Bowl has its charms, but with all due respect to the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos, it’s got nothing on the epic showdown coming in Captain America: Civil War. The movie pits Avengers teammates Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) against each other in a battle that threatens to tear apart the MCU’s entire population of superheroes — including new additions like Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland)....
‘Inside Out’ Deleted Scene: Bing Bong Used To Be A “Radical Non-Conformist” By Angie Han/Oct. 7, 2015 3:00 pm EST Bing Bong has plenty of reason to be suspicious of change in Inside Out. As Riley’s imaginary friend, he gets shoved further into the sidelines the older she gets. But at one point in the development and production process, director Pete Docter imagined the lovable creature as being a bit more disgruntled, and a bit more active in his resistance to change....
‘Neverending Story’ Remake Imagined In Fan-Created Concept Art By Germain Lussier/Nov. 18, 2014 2:30 pm EST We’ve officially got to the frightening stage of remakes. This is the stage where Hollywood has remade almost every single movie reasonable worth remaking, and even some that weren’t. Now they’re onto the classics. How long will it really be before films like Psycho or Halloween get remade? Oh, wait. On that list of films that should never be remade, but may one day is The Neverending Story....
‘Office Christmas Party’ Trailer: “Hey Santa, Wanna Party?” By Angie Han/July 26, 2016 1:00 pm EST If you’ve ever worked in an office, you’re surely familiar with the tradition of awkward holiday parties. You know the drill: everyone gets a little too drunk, says some things they’ll probably regret, maybe engages in an ill-advised hookup with a colleague, and then comes back to work the next morning hoping everyone else can just agree to pretend that nothing happened....
‘Riverdale’ Is Mostly The Modern Update Of Archie You’d Expect [Comic-Con 2016] By Jack Giroux/July 21, 2016 11:30 am EST Riverdale opens with Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) explaining the summer that changed everyone’s lives. Since the character’s narration – he’s writing a novel – is filling audiences in on a teenager’s death, the tone is somber, which is a tone that doesn’t always work for the Riverdale pilot. When the first half-hour of the series gets dramatic, it feels too soon, as if the series’ creators, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Greg Berlanti and their writers presume we’re already on board with these characters simply because of who they are....
‘Scream Queens’ Producer Promises Gruesome Medical Cases, Return Of The Chanels [PaleyFest] By Fred Topel/March 14, 2016 6:30 am EST “I describe it more as a horror movie sequel as opposed to an anthology,” Falchuk told /Film. “So you have the first Friday the 13th, the second Friday the 13th, or Halloween. You have characters that bleed in through, literally bleed through, and they go through different horrible adventures. As opposed to just changing up the characters....
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Images: New Character Pics And Behind The Scenes Images Revealed By Angie Han/April 16, 2015 11:45 am EST Star Wars Celebration got off to a rousing start today with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel. Details were spilled, footage was revealed, cast members were celebrated — and among all that, a bunch of new official images were revealed. Some were stills featuring characters like Rey (Daisy Ridley), Fin (John Boyega), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac); others were behind-the-scenes images of director J....
‘Supergirl’ International Promo Reveals A Cool Angle For The Young Hero’s Origin By Russ Fischer/June 26, 2015 12:30 pm EST There can be no new superhero show on TV without at least a hint of an origin story, and an origin story for Supergirl means that poor ol’ Krypton has to suffer destruction again. So this new Supergirl international promo begins with Krypton blown to bits, but in showing those early days, it also features an explanation of the young Kryptonian’s purpose....
‘The Flash’ Producers On Putting A New Spin On Flashpoint [Comic-Con 2016] By Fred Topel/July 26, 2016 8:30 am EST The Flash returned to Comic-Con for the third time in anticipation of its third season on The CW. We spoke with producers Todd and Aaron Helbing in a roundtable before their panel. The season premiere is called “Flashpoint,” based on the classic comic book alternate universe story. Like other classic comic book titles, like “Worlds Finest” on Supergirl and “The Brave and the Bold” on Arrow, The Flash will put a new twist on “Flashpoint....
‘The Strain’ Season Two Trailer: Learning To Infect The Infected By Russ Fischer/May 5, 2015 11:00 am EST This full trailer for the new season of The Strain is full of big makeup and effects shots, and a promise that the show’s concept of Manhattan overrun by vampires will really boil over into insanity this year. And that’s half of what we want to see from the show; the other half is something that’s harder to get across in a one-minute trailer, and that’s further character development....
