‘Central Intelligence’ First Look: Dwayne Johnson Rocks Kevin Hart Like A Baby By Angie Han/Nov. 19, 2015 10:30 am EST Dwayne Johnson may have the physique of an action hero, but underneath all those bulging muscles there’s a comedy star just waiting to break free. Or at least that’s what Dodgeball director Rawson Marshall Thurber is banking on in his new movie. Central Intelligence pairs Johnson with comedy A-lister Kevin Hart — and then has Johnson be the funny one, and Hart act as the straight man....

‘Crash Test’ Trailer: Paul Scheer & Rob Huebel’s Comedy Special Recorded On A Moving Bus By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 5, 2015 4:30 pm EST Comedians Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel have collaborated with each other countless times, at various venues, in several different mediums. Maybe you’ve seen them on their MTV sketch show Human Giant, in any of the dozen movies and TV shows they’ve appeared in or at the UCB Theatre doing their show Crash Test....

‘Hell Or High Water’ Trailer: Ben Foster, Chris Pine, And Jeff Bridges Are Knocking On Heaven’s Door By Jack Giroux/May 12, 2016 5:00 pm EST Lately, we’ve seen some trailers that begin with advertisements for the trailer. I don’t understand this trend, but it seems to keep happening. Hell or High Water is the latest trailer to begin with an ad, including shots we see later on in the footage. Why you’d have to sell a trailer to someone who’s already decided to watch it is beyond me, but enough about that....

‘How To Train Your Dragon 3’ Update: Plot Details, Script Status And The Ending By Germain Lussier/Feb. 6, 2015 12:00 pm EST One of the casualties, and maybe even causes of the recent dissent at DreamWorks Animation is the hugely popular How To Train Your Dragon franchise. The second film was expected by many to be among the highest grossing films of the year. Despite the film being a worthy follow-up to the first movie, however, it disappointed financially....

‘Jurassic World’ TV Spot: The New Attraction Kills For Sport By Russ Fischer/March 29, 2015 11:00 pm EST The latest Jurassic World TV spot features a bit of new stuff, and a pretty dire observation from the character played by Chris Pratt. He notices that the genetically modified new dinosaur attraction at the park seems to be killing other dinos for sport — and that’s probably just a hint of the mayhem to come....

‘Martyrs’ Trailer: This Is Kind Of The Remake You Expected By Jack Giroux/Dec. 15, 2015 3:00 pm EST Pascal Laugier’s 2008 French film, Martyrs, is one hardcore horror movie. Like plenty of other successful foreign horror films, it’s gotten the U.S. remake treatment. An American version of Martyrs has been in the works for over five years now, and today we’re getting our first real glimpse at the film. Watch the Martyrs trailer after the jump....

‘Suicide Squad’ May Be On Track For The Biggest August Opening Weekend Of All Time By Angie Han/July 14, 2016 4:08 pm EST For most films, a $872 million global gross would be cause for wild celebration. For Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, though, it was considered a slight disappointment. Yes, it’s a lot of money — but Warner Bros. had been counting on this one to do even better, considering it starred all three of DC’s most iconic heroes, cost at least $250 million to make, and many, many millions more to market....

‘Terminator: Genisys’ Trailer Highlights An Unconventional Family Feud By Angie Han/April 13, 2015 6:53 am EST Everyone’s favorite time-hopping robots and resistance fighters are back in the latest Terminator Genisys trailer. Emilia Clarke plays Sarah Connor, Jason Clarke is her son John Connor, and Jai Courtney is his dad Kyle Reese. Which I guess makes the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) John’s adopted grandfather, sort of, since he’s Sarah’s guardian. It all adds up to a pretty unconventional family, but a family all the same....

An André The Giant Biopic Is In The Works By Jack Giroux/May 10, 2016 7:00 am EST An André the Giant biopic is in the works. With the support of André René Roussimoff’s daughter, Robin Christensen-Roussimoff, the bio film will depict the late “Eighth Wonder of the World’s” life and career in the World Wrestling Federation. Based on the graphic novel André the Giant: Closer to Heaven, the project currently doesn’t have a director or screenwriter attached....

Answered: Why Does Kylo Ren Put His Helmet On A Table Full Of Ashes? By Peter Sciretta/April 5, 2016 10:30 am EST One of the questions I had after seeing Star Wars: the Force Awakens was: Why does Kylo Ren put the mask on a table filled with what appear to be ashes? Some interesting theories have floated around since December, but now we finally have an answer thanks to director JJ Abrams....

Bryan Singer On The Possibility Of A ‘Deadpool’ / ‘X-Men’ Crossover By Angie Han/May 10, 2016 12:30 pm EST The early reviews for X-Men: Apocalypse aren’t so hot, but earlier this year we got another film set in the X-Men universe that fared much, much better. Deadpool somersaulted above all expectations, earning critical raves and smashing box office records. So what are the odds that the mutant heroes might hook up with the franchise’s newest superstar?...

Chris Columbus Ended Up Directing ‘Home Alone’ Because Chevy Chase Is A Jerk By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 11, 2015 3:30 pm EST Even though Thanksgiving is still a couple weeks away, stores and people are already focused on Christmas. And this week the holiday mood gets a little boost with the 25th anniversary re-release of Home Alone, which has its final two showings today in select theaters. In honor of that milestone, an oral history has been put together on the making of Home Alone, revealing one interesting tidbit....

Colin Farrell And Yorgos Lanthimos Will Reunite For ‘The Killing Of A Sacred Deer’ By Jacob Hall/May 11, 2016 12:00 pm EST Colin Farrell is at his best when he’s not trying to do the movie star thing. For every Total Recall, there’s a Seven Psychopaths. For every Dead Man Down, there’s an In Bruges. His career becomes even brighter when you start to appreciate how he refuses to phone in performances in movies where it would have been easy to sleepwalk, like Fright Night and Winter’s Tale, which is the kind of legendarily bad movie that every actor deserves to have on their resume just so they can say they were there....

Don’t Expect To See Much Of The Mad Titan Thanos In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy 2’ By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 31, 2015 9:30 am EST Ever since Thanos was revealed in the mid-credits scene for The Avengers, fans have been waiting to see just what kind of havoc the comic book villain was going to wreak in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character finally appeared again in Guardians of the Galaxy, voiced by Josh Brolin, but he pretty much just did a lot of sitting and threatening while everyone else did his work for him....

Guillermo Del Toro Is Working On A Small Indie Movie Next By Jack Giroux/Sept. 29, 2015 2:30 pm EST In a recent profile piece from Variety, the director shared he’s developing “a small, independently financed movie that he is keeping under tight wraps.” Del Toro claims it’s his next project, which means we’re going to have to wait a little while longer for The Haunted Mansion and some of the director’s other dream projects, such as, the unlikely Hellboy 3....

Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Justice League Dark’ Script Is Complete By Germain Lussier/Nov. 26, 2014 6:00 am EST This weekend, as you sit at home with your families, eat turkey, watch football, maybe head out and see The Force Awakens trailer, the executives at Warner Bros. are going to be doing something even better. They’re going to be reading the script to Guillermo del Toro’s Justice League Dark, aka Dark Universe....

James Gunn Teases ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Trilogy By Angie Han/Nov. 10, 2014 9:00 am EST James Gunn was set to return for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 before Guardians of the Galaxy 1 even opened. But it seems his vision extends even beyond that. In a new interview he reveals he’s already been thinking about Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and has been since he was working on the first one....

Latest ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ TV Spot Features Almost All New Footage By Germain Lussier/March 19, 2015 9:36 am EST Want to see almost a minute of brand new, official footage from Avengers: Age of Ultron? Check out a 60 second TV spot that just came online. It features almost all new footage and dialogue, with plenty of Joss Whedon humor and action. Watch it below. Here’s the video via Twitter....

LOL: Watch The Worst Movies Of 2014 Review Themselves By Russ Fischer/Dec. 30, 2014 1:30 pm EST We’ve all chuckled when a terrible movie throws out a line of dialogue that seems to sum up our own dismissal of the film perfectly. That idea is the inspiration for a video that uses dialogue from some of the worst films of 2014 to review the films themselves. While there’s a movie or two in here that might not quite be among the year’s worst (Monuments Men is too optimistic to really hate, I’d argue, even if it does squander a great cast and premise) there’s nothing quite as apt as seeing dialogue from A Million Ways to Die in the West, Dracula Unbound and, yeah, Winter’s Tale (above) repurposed to talk about the films themselves....

Mark Millar Pitches In On That ‘Die Hard 6’ Pitch By Jack Giroux/Nov. 13, 2015 2:00 pm EST A few days ago Eric D. Wilkinson, a producer and writer of indies, took out a full-page ad in The Hollywood Reporter with his pitch for the next Die Hard, which comic book writer Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) has now expanded upon. Read Mark Millar’s Die Hard pitch after the jump. Wilkinson’s idea is simple: a 60-year-old John McClane is wrongfully convicted of a murder....
