8-Bit Guardians Of The Galaxy Animated Short Film By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 14, 2015 1:30 pm EST CineFix’s latest edition of 8-bit cinema takes on Guardians of the Galaxy. The animated short film retells the movie via old-school 8-bit game tech. While the title is 8-Bit, the graphics look more like the 16-bit generation of video games to me (pushes glasses up like a nerd). 8-bit Cinema “gamifies” your favorite Hollywood Blockbusters into 80’s arcade and NES inspired action!...

Bryan Singer Reveals ‘20,000 Leagues Under The Sea’ Takes Place After The Civil War By Jack Giroux/April 27, 2016 6:00 am EST The director has now revealed that 20,000 Leagues will be set around 1865, following the aftermath of the Civil War. Although we should expect a “sci-fi twist” from the adaptation, Singer is intent on actually reflecting what a post-Civil War America was like. Learn more about the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea setting below....

Cardboard Cinema: ‘The Godfather: The Board Game’ Feels Like An Offer You Can’t Refuse By Jacob Hall/April 1, 2016 8:00 am EST There was a time when a board game simply being based on a movie or television show was a clear sign to stay away and save your money. But as tabletop gaming has matured into its present golden age and game design has become more nuanced, board games bearing the likeness of beloved franchises have evolved....

Cool Stuff: Nan Lawson’s Meet Cute Art Show By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 1, 2016 5:00 am EST This past Friday night was the opening of Gallery 1988’s Nan Lawson solo art show “Meet Cute.” We’ve featured Nan’s cute artwork on the site many times over the past years, and her latest art show features limited edition prints that celebrate the artist’s favorite pop culture relationships – all perfectly timed for Valentines Day (yes, there could be a perfect gift for your loved one)....

By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 18, 2016 5:30 am EST Even though Lost In Translation was one of the best movies in 2003, the print campaign for the movie mostly left something to be desired. But thanks to Spoke Art and artist Matt Taylor, the movie now has a stellar print that would look spectacular on the wall of any of you who call yourselves fans of Sofia Coppola’s fantastic film. Check it out and find out how you can get one!...

Daniel Craig Heading To TV For Series Adaptation Of Jonathan Franzen’s ‘Purity’ By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 15, 2016 8:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. After being very vocal about having no desire to get back into action as James Bond anytime soon, Daniel Craig is heading to the small screen for his next project. An adaptation of Jonathan Franzen’s novel Purity is in the works as a limited series and Craig will star in the project, but he doesn’t exactly have the lead role....

Disney Plans Live-Action ‘Winnie The Pooh’; Alex Ross Perry To Write By Angie Han/April 2, 2015 10:30 am EST Clearly Disney isn’t going to rest until they’ve turned every single one of their animated properties into a live-action feature. Just days after they got the ball rolling on a live-action Mulan, the studio is also making plans for a live-action version of Winnie the Pooh. The real surprise here, though, is who’s behind it: Alex Ross Perry, writer and director of the caustic Sundance indie Listen Up Philip....

HBO Orders ‘Westworld’ Series, Offers Tantalizing Vine Video By Russ Fischer/Nov. 17, 2014 3:00 pm EST The last time we talked about Westworld, the proposed HBO series that revamps the idea of a theme park for adults in which the automaton attractions run wild, it seemed like a series order was all but assured. Now HBO has issued that series order, which comes complete with a teasing image and Vine video....

How History Influenced ‘Game Of Thrones’ Battle Of The Bastards [Comic-Con 2016] By Jack Giroux/July 23, 2016 9:00 am EST Earlier this year, “Battle of the Bastards” blew Game of Thrones fans away. Originally, as director Miguel Sapochnik previously told us, the episode was larger in scale, but nobody would’ve figured that by watching Jon Snow (Kit Harrington), the wildlings, and many more go up against Ramsay Bolton’s (Iwan Rheon) army....

Listen: Jason Reitman Talks Filmmaking, Sequels And His Idea For A Sports Movie By Germain Lussier/Dec. 31, 2014 1:00 pm EST For one reason or another, Jason Reitman is a polarizing figure among movie fans. Some really like his heartfelt, unique movies while others dismiss them as obvious. The same can be said about his live read series. Some enjoy reading about this fun, one-time-only event and others don’t see the point....

By Jack Giroux/April 26, 2016 3:30 pm EST There are new signs of life for Mark Millar’s Supercrooks and American Jesus. Over five years ago, Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo became attached to Supercrooks, and he later went on to direct a teaser trailer for the comic book, but we’ve heard little about the film adaptation since then. And even longer ago, Matthew Vaughn was attached to produce American Jesus, as a followup to his successful collaboration with Millar on Kick-Ass....

Netflix’s ‘Voltron: Legendary Defender’ Trailer By Jacob Hall/March 28, 2016 1:30 pm EST Update from Editor Peter Sciretta: the first trailer for Netflix’s new series Voltron: Legendary Defender, has been added after the jump. Voltron: Legendary Defender Trailer Jacob Hall’s original story follows: My experience with Voltron is limited. As I’ve written before, I came from a Transformers household and those toys and that series delivered all the necessary giant robot thrills a young boy could possibly hope for....

Producers Guild Nominates ‘Boyhood’, ‘American Sniper’; Snubs ‘Selma’, ‘Unbroken’ By Angie Han/Jan. 5, 2015 10:15 am EST It’s more interesting, however, to see which dark horses did and didn’t make the cut. American Sniper and Nightcrawler emerged as two of the more surprising inclusions, while Unbroken and Selma got left out in the cold. Meanwhile on the TV side, the PGA is all about Fargo, True Detective, and Orange Is the New Black, while shows like Parks & Recreation and Homeland went overlooked....

Rumor: Disney Ad Fuels Speculation Of ‘Star Wars’ Digital Re-Release By Russ Fischer/Oct. 8, 2014 4:30 pm EST But still, a new Italian ad for Disney’s digital portal service is bringing the rumor back up again. Is there any more reason to believe it now than there was the last time this concept cropped up? Before we go any further here’s the ad, followed by a translation of the Italian voice-over, from FilmDivider:...

Superhero Bits: Ant-Man Bloopers, Deadpool Core, Season’s Grootings And More By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 8, 2015 5:00 pm EST Why don’t Captain America: Civil War directors Anthony & Joe Russo see Batman v Superman as competition? Which Supergirl stars will be at C2E2 in Chicago next year? Which two comic book movies have a chance of getting nominated for an Oscar? Will Robbie Amell come back as Firestorm?

The New ‘Ghostbusters’ Assemble For A Candid Photo By Germain Lussier/Feb. 17, 2015 9:00 am EST Watching this weekend’s Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary show was like the TV version of Where’s Waldo. In every single crowd shot, you’d see the likes of Steven Spielberg and Michael Douglas; even in the skits, you never knew who could pop up, with people like Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper showing up. Four women who were hard to miss were Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon....

This Week In Trailers: After The Fall, When Animals Dream, Danny Collins, Lily By Christopher Stipp/Dec. 1, 2014 5:00 am EST I don’t know what to make of this and that’s utterly delightful. Director Jonas Alexander Arnby’s thrice nominated film at Cannes this year has a wonderful world in which to inhabit if the trailer is any indication. The mood is heavy, the tempo is wonderful, and the genre in which it plays is ripe for new interpretation as it ascribes a new metaphor onto its superficial skin....

‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’: Wonder Woman Will Have New 52 Origin By Angie Han/Oct. 13, 2014 1:00 pm EST During a recent appearance, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice producer Charles Roven confirmed his Wonder Woman would be the half-god daughter of Zeus — following the drastically revamped New 52 backstory instead of the original one. Hit the jump for more details on the Batman v Superman Wonder Woman....
