‘LFO’ Trailer: Manipulating People With Sound By Russ Fischer/Oct. 9, 2014 1:00 pm EST In LFO, an amateur scientist develops a technique for hypnotizing people using a specific sound frequency. He puts this into action using his neighbors as subjects, and things get weird, as you’d expect. Fittingly for a trailer for a film about manipulation via sound, there is no dialogue here — this LFO trailer is all machine-made sound and atmosphere....

Once out of prison, there’s a gold heist, and a sense that betrayal is only a moment away, and the allure of the enigmatic and possibly criminally seasoned woman played by Alicia Vikander....

Alamo Drafthouse Is Having An Insane ‘Star Wars’ Marathon Contest By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 7, 2015 12:30 pm EST We’re just 10 days from the first showings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and our patience is growing thin. But as Master Yoda says, “Control, control, you must learn control.” And some Star Wars fans are going to really have to be one with the Force if they’re going to survive a crazy new Star Wars marathon contest that the Alamo Drafthouse is putting on later this month....

Crazy Fan Theory: Homer Simpson Has Been In A Coma For 20 Years By Germain Lussier/Feb. 18, 2015 4:00 pm EST Simpsons executive producer Al Jean says this isn’t true. He would know, but no matter. A Reddit user has come up with a wild theory that attempts to explain why The Simpsons have never aged in 20-plus years. And even if it’s false, it’s an interesting, well-researched attempt to put a bow on a series that’s never been about wrapping things up....

Dan Harmon Not Giving Up On ‘Community’ Movie: “It’ll Happen” By Angie Han/July 12, 2016 12:30 pm EST Take heart, Community fans – Dan Harmon isn’t giving up on the dream of #SixSeasonsAndAMovie. He’s just not sure when he’ll be able to make it come true. For starters, there’s the paradoxical problem of this cast being too popular: everyone in that cast has moved on to new shows and movies, so it’s unclear when they’d have time to make a Community movie even if they wanted to....

Kevin Feige Almost Quit Marvel Over ‘Civil War’ Disagreements By Angie Han/Sept. 4, 2015 1:30 pm EST It seems Captain America: Civil War caused its own lower-case civil war at Marvel Studios. A new report says Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige threatened to quit over disagreements with Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter about the ballooning budget of the film, leading to the corporate reshuffling we heard about earlier this week. Read all about the Kevin Feige Ike Perlmutter Civil War drama after the jump....

Live-Action ‘Peter Pan’ Reboot Coming From ‘Pete’s Dragon’ Director David Lowery By Angie Han/April 13, 2016 3:30 pm EST When Disney first announced that its Pete’s Dragon reboot would be directed by David Lowery, he seemed like an out-of-left-field choice. Lowery was an indie darling known for directing the Malickian crime romance Ain’t Them Bodies Saints and editing Shane Carruth’s trippy Upstream Color; a mainstream family film for Disney seemed about as far from his wheelhouse as a movie could get....

LOL: A Mom Explains Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ By Angie Han/Nov. 5, 2014 12:00 pm EST What Nicolosi’s mom’s summary lacks in accuracy, it more than makes up for in adorable mom-ishness. This is probably exactly how my mom would explain Inception, too. Christopher Nolan’s film isn’t terribly difficult to follow if you’re paying attention, but I guess it’s a different story if you find it “so tedious” you need to walk around, check your phone, and take some breaks....

LOL: Dinosaur Prank Scares The Hell Out Of ‘Jurassic World’ Star Chris Pratt By Ethan Anderton/June 16, 2015 7:00 am EST Now that Jurassic World holds the record for the biggest box office debut of all-time (though it could end up getting trampled by Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December), there’s no doubt that Chris Pratt is one of the biggest movie stars in the world now. However, it’s important to remember that movie stars are just like the rest of us, and Pratt is no exception....

Martin Freeman Drops Hints About His “Ambiguous” Character In ‘Captain America: Civil War’ By Angie Han/July 20, 2015 7:24 am EST Martin Freeman’s role in Captain America: Civil War has been one of the production’s better kept secrets. We know for sure he’s in the film, but not whom he’s playing. However, we may finally be getting closer to an answer as Freeman has just shared a bunch of details about his mysterious character....

By Angie Han/Nov. 18, 2014 7:45 am EST Christopher Nolan has some more Interstellar goodness coming our way. No, it’s not a sequel — it’s an Interstellar comic book about Dr. Mann, the astronaut who sets out on a “Lazarus mission” long before Matthew McConaughey’s Cooper ever sets out into space. Get a look at the Interstellar comic after the jump. (But be warned there are massive spoilers for Interstellar ahead....

Ricky Gervais Confirmed To Host Golden Globes A Fourth Time In 2016 By Angie Han/Oct. 26, 2015 3:00 pm EST Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have repeatedly stated that the 2015 Golden Globes would be their last time hosting, so the HFPA has gone and dug up another recent emcee for next year’s ceremony. Ricky Gervais will be back to host the 2016 Golden Globes, following a three-year stint from 2010 to 2012....

Ron Perlman Doesn’t Want To Make Hellboy 3 But He’ll Do It Anyway By Fred Topel/Aug. 3, 2015 11:13 am EST Even director Guillermo del Toro has accepted that he can’t get financing for a Hellboy 3, so the only news is news generated by reporters asking and Perlman sharing. “Let me make the record clear,” Perlman said. “I don’t want to do Hellboy 3. It’s a pain in the ass to put that makeup on and take it off....
