Roland, a once promising writer, doesn’t have any stories left to tell and is an alcoholic. Vanessa, a dancer-turned-wife, is ambivalent, suffering from a past event. The New York couple head to Malta. Roland is looking for a story to tell, but he’s really looking for a way to save his marriage....

‘Captain America: Civil War’ Clip: Ant-Man Totally Geeks Out Over Meeting Captain America By Ethan Anderton/April 12, 2016 12:30 pm EST In just a couple days, fans in 25 major cities around the United States will be seeing Captain America: Civil War, so we’ll be getting more than the initial positive reaction from critics and press that came last weekend. But if you’re not among the lucky fans heading to one of those screenings, you’ve got a few weeks to wait, and Jimmy Kimmel Live just might have the goods to hold you over this week....

‘Fantastic Beasts’ May Reveal A U.S. School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry By Germain Lussier/June 8, 2015 12:30 pm EST Everyone knows the best school for witchcraft and wizardry is Hogwarts, which is in England. But wizards aren’t only in that country. As we saw in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, there are wizarding schools all over the world. In fact, Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling recently said there are 11 across the globe....

‘Game Of Thrones’ Brings Danish Actor Pilou Asbaek Into House Greyjoy By Russ Fischer/Sept. 2, 2015 11:30 am EST Here’s some Game of Thrones news that isn’t a fan theory or a wild supposition about where the upcoming sixth season will take the story as it ventures further afield from the novels written by George R.R. Martin. Danish actor Pilou Asbaek (Lucy, The Borgias, the upcoming Ben-Hur) has been cast as Euron Greyjoy, uncle to Theon Greyjoy, aka Reek, and he is surmised to have a big role in the upcoming season....

‘Hack/Slash’ TV Series In The Works From ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ Writer By Angie Han/Oct. 16, 2015 12:00 pm EST A live-action adaptation of Hack/Slash may finally, at long last, becoming to a screen near you. Not the big screen, though — the small one. A Hack/Slash TV series has just been put into development, after years of fruitless attempts to get a Hack/Slash movie off the ground. Read all about the Hack/Slash TV series after the jump....

‘Haywire’ TV Show In The Works Following Relativity Bankruptcy By Jack Giroux/Oct. 6, 2015 2:30 pm EST Another Stephen Soderbergh film may make its way to the small-screen. The 2011 action movie Haywire was a very modest box-office hit, and proved that MMA fighter Gina Carano has real screen presence, given the right circumstances, of course. Will she return to play Mallory Kane in the television series? Little is known about the project at this point, but it’s an exciting prospect, to say the least....

‘Hell Or High Water’ Trailer: Chris Pine & Ben Foster Rob Banks But Mustaches Steal The Show By Ethan Anderton/June 29, 2016 3:00 pm EST Plenty of banks have been robbed in the Western genre, but there aren’t many contemporary thrillers that use the premise nowadays. The last captivating modern Western that centered on a robbery was probably Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, and even then it was only a small part of a larger character story....

‘Jane Got A Gun’ Trailer: Ewan McGregor’s Mustache Wants Jane Back By Jack Giroux/Dec. 7, 2015 4:00 pm EST Jane Got a Gun did not have the smoothest of productions, to say the least. When Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin) exited the film on the first day of principal photography, co-star Jude Law (Spy) left with her. A lawsuit followed Ramsay’s sudden departure, and there was a whole lot of “he said, she said” going on....

Russell By Angie Han/July 15, 2015 6:30 am EST Speaking to EW, Russell described Joy as “an epic, unexpected story about the interior life of one woman’s soul, from the ages of 10 to 40.” He continued: If Joy is anything like this quartet’s last four films together, expect it to be all over next year’s awards race....

‘Keanu’ Director Peter Atencio Hates The Film’s Kitten-Centric Marketing By Ethan Anderton/June 28, 2016 1:00 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. At the end of April, the first feature comedy led by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele hit theaters. Unfortunately, it went by the wayside in its second week of release when Captain America: Civil War stormed into theaters and took all the glory. The film only pulled in $20 million on a $15 million budget here in the United States, which isn’t a failure exactly, but it’s not much of a success....

‘People, Places, Things’ Trailer: Jemaine Clement, Romantic Leading Man By Angie Han/June 17, 2015 4:00 pm EST After knocking it out of the park with What We Do in the Shadows earlier this year, Jemaine Clement is back at bat with People, Places, Things. The Sundance romcom stars Clement as a graphic novelist, professor, and father in Brooklyn. (Don’t worry, he gets to retain his cute Kiwi accent.) He’s still reeling from his last breakup when one of his students (Jessica Williams) sets him up with her mom (Regina Hall)....

Joe Taslim of Fast & Furious 6 and The Raid: Redemption has boarded the sci-fi sequel, joining fellow franchise newcomers Idris Elba and Sofia Boutella. Read all about the Star Trek Beyond Joe Taslim casting after the jump. Taslim’s role is being kept under wraps, which is no surprise considering how little we know about the film in general....

‘The Conjuring 2’ Trailer: England’s Amityville Still Haunts Ed & Lorraine Warren By Ethan Anderton/March 26, 2016 3:00 pm EST After delivering a dose of horror for the summer back in 2013 with The Conjuring, director James Wan is back with the sequel, and if the new trailer is any indicator, this looks like one of the most intense hauntings that the genre has ever seen. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, and this time they’re going across the pond to check out what many have referred to as England’s Amityville, where a single mother and her children are being terrified over and over again by dark forces....

By Russ Fischer/July 14, 2015 10:30 am EST Now there’s a new Man in the High Castle trailer, showing off some of the fresh footage for episodes beyond the pilot. That trailer highlights one of the big changes from the book, which anyone who saw the pilot has already seen. In the original novel, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy is a revolutionary book that depicts life more or less as we know it — an America ruled by Americans....

‘Wonder Woman’ Trailer: The Superheroine Finally Gets Her Own Big Screen Adventure [Comic-Con 2016] By Ethan Anderton/July 23, 2016 12:07 pm EST This looks astounding. The action is incredible, from Wonder Woman whipping around her lasso to deflecting bullets in the middle of a World War I battlefield, the footage is just astounding. And there’s some humor there for people who thought DC was getting too dark. Plus, that awesome Wonder Woman theme plays right here at the end....

Amblin Gets Back In The Alien Business With ‘The Fall’ By Jacob Hall/July 8, 2016 2:00 pm EST Steven Spielberg loves his alien movies, which means that Amblin Entertainment, his production company, shares that love of little green men and invaders from Mars and friendly psychic critters with a love for peanut butter candies. So it’s only natural that Amblin would acquire The Fall, a new high concept alien invasion screenplay that sounds like it will fall in line with much of what the company has been producing for the past 35 years....
