‘The Bye Bye Man’ Trailer: Doug Jones Wants To Make You Do Terrible Stuff By Angie Han/April 8, 2016 2:30 pm EST It may be hard to imagine now, what with spring just barely starting to creep in across much of the country, but there will come a time in the not-too-distant future when you’re sweltering in the summer heat. When that day comes, you might welcome some spine-tingling chills to turn the blood in your veins to ice....

‘The Last Knights’ Trailer: Clive Owen And Morgan Freeman Fight For Honor By Russ Fischer/Feb. 10, 2015 12:30 pm EST Way back in late 2012 the film The Last Knights was announced with Morgan Freeman and Clive Owen starring in a story about a warrior (Owen) who leads a force that seeks to avenge their dishonored master. The film was shot under the direction of Japanese filmmaker Kazuaki Kiriya (The Legend of Goemon) based on a script by Michael Konyves (Barney’s Version)....

‘Twin Peaks’ Revival Adds David Lynch Survivor Naomi Watts To The Cast By Jacob Hall/Feb. 2, 2016 9:30 am EST The new season of Twin Peaks is supposedly filming right now, but you wouldn’t know it. There is a dearth of solid information out there about Showtime’s upcoming resurrection of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s iconic series and the network has steadfastly refused to comment on the various cast members, old and new, who have reportedly joined the production....

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Clip: Moira MacTaggert Is Back And She’s Got Some Exposition To Drop By Jacob Hall/April 28, 2016 9:00 am EST X-Men: Apocalypse opens in theaters in one month, so the first official clip from the film has arrived right on schedule. If you’re looking for some footage showcasing superpowered beings exchanging blows or glimpses of the villainous Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) leveling entire cities, you’re probably going to feel a little let down....

Benjamin Bratt Is Also Apparently In ‘Doctor Strange’, But Who Does He Play? By Peter Sciretta/July 26, 2016 9:30 am EST Marvel’s Doctor Strange finished shooting in April and has already released two trailers, which makes it all the weirder that we’re just now learning that Benjamin Bratt appears in the film. And how we learned about his casting is even stranger: his name was listed with the main actors in the small print of the recent Doctor Strange movie poster that was released during Comic-Con 2016....

How Long Is ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’? By Angie Han/Feb. 22, 2016 6:00 am EST As its title suggests, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has a whole lot going on. Not only does it need to introduce the latest incarnation of Batman (Ben Affleck) and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) and the first-ever big-screen version of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), it plans to pay off the destructive ending of Man of Steel and also set up two Justice League movies and another half-dozen DC solo outings....

Jackie Earle Haley Joins ‘The Dark Tower’ And ‘The Tick’ By Angie Han/April 15, 2016 6:00 am EST Let’s start with The Dark Tower. Deadline reports Haley is in negotiations to play Richard Sayre, whom they describe as “a menacing humanoid who is the vampire leader and kowtows to no one.” In the books, the character makes his debut in Wolves of the Calla — the fifth installment of King’s eight-part saga — but as we’ve heard before, Arcel’s film adaptation will be shaking up the structure, mixing and matching from different parts of the source material....

James Gunn Puts Simple Avengers Guardians Of The Galaxy Crossover In Doubt By Germain Lussier/Dec. 13, 2014 9:00 am EST We all just assumed Avengers: Infinity War, Parts 1 and 2, would see The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy teaming up to fight Thanos. Looking at the schedule of things, that just seemed like the logical way to go. And while we don’t know that’s not how it’s going to go, in a new interview, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 writer and director James Gunn put that simple, straightforward, team plus team crossover in doubt....

Jared Leto Will Star In Post-WWII Action-Thriller ‘The Outsider’ By Jack Giroux/April 5, 2016 2:30 pm EST Jared Leto isn’t a typical work-for-hire actor. Leto doesn’t appear in many movies, and nor does he need to, considering he’s got his Thirty Seconds to Mars gig. When he does decide to act, it’s generally for wildly transformational roles, like The Joker, Mark David Chapman, or The Dallas Buyers Club’s Rayon. Leto, arguably, is at his best when he’s not under prosthetics or weighing in at over 200 lbs, so the news of him starring in The Outsider, a post-WWII thriller, is both a promising and refreshing decision on the actor’s part....

Latest ‘Ant-Man’ Trailer Suggests Calling In The Avengers By Angie Han/July 3, 2015 11:00 am EST Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) has had plenty of opportunities to win us over with his warmth, humor, and smarts in the TV spots and trailers released so far for Ant-Man. Now, in the final Ant-Man trailer, he serves up his most inspired idea yet. “I think our first move should be calling the Avengers,” he suggests when Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) warns him of the possibility of mass chaos....

LOL: ‘30 For 30’ Recounts The Famous Boxing Match Between Rocky Balboa And Ivan Drago By Jacob Hall/Nov. 11, 2015 1:00 pm EST We know /Film is a movie website, but maybe you’ll forgive us for delving into the wide world of sports for a moment. After all, few moments have impacted culture worldwide like the 1985 exhibition boxing match between Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago. This event shook the sporting world to its core and rattled the foundation of international politics – the world was never the same after Drago hit the mat and Balboa stood triumphant....

Patrick Stewart Doesn’t Think We’ll See Captain Picard Ever Again By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 21, 2015 4:00 pm EST When JJ Abrams rebooted the Star Trek franchise in 2009, he left the door open to include cameos from other series characters through his alternate timeline construct. So will Patrick Stewart ever reprise his tole as Captain Picard either in a future movie or television series? If you ask the English actor, the answer would be no....

Rogue One’s Space Monkey: Who Is He? By Peter Sciretta/July 21, 2016 6:30 am EST UPDATE: Director Gareth Edwards has provided a little more information about Bistan: It’s not necessarily a character that we get to know, but I think he has a very memorable, iconic look. Bistan is one of my favorites. I can’t give away what happens to him. In other words, don’t expect him to play a major role in the movie…but he sure does look cool....

Rumor: Is This The Title Of The New Spider-Man Movie? By Germain Lussier/April 27, 2015 9:15 am EST In the comics, he’s been “Amazing,” “Spectacular,” “Ultimate” and more. Now, rumor has it for his next big screen incarnation, Spider-Man will be an Avenger. A new rumor from former Latino Review scooper El Mayimbe says Sony and Marvel are currently toying with Spider-Man: The New Avenger as the title for the July 28, 2017 film, likely to be directed by Drew Goddard....

Rumor: NBC May Give ‘Constantine’ A New Life And Title On SyFy By Russ Fischer/Feb. 9, 2015 3:00 pm EST The future of Constantine has been uncertain ever since NBC decided to limit the first season order to 13 episodes, and has been sluggish about calling for a second season. But if one rumor is correct, things may not be as dire as they seem. Word is that NBC might bounce Constantine over to SyFy, which, for one, would change ratings expectations for the show....

By Angie Han/July 15, 2015 10:30 am EST Parris leads the cast as a woman who battles gun violence in Chicago by going on a sex strike. The rising actress made a big impression on AMC’s Mad Men as one of the show’s few significant characters of color, and was one of four leads in last year’s sharp indie comedy Dear White People (pictured above). The title refers to the comparison between inner-city Chicago and war-torn Iraq....

There Will Not Be A Sequel To ‘The Babadook’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 5, 2014 10:00 am EST The horror genre thrives on sequels. The instant a filmmaker creates some kind of interesting, iconic villain or scenario, it is pillaged and marketed into oblivion. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s just the way it goes. Sequels print money. Often, too, they happen because the filmmaker is new to the game and signs away any rights just to get their first film into theaters....

This ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Deleted Scene Makes Freddy Krueger Even More Malicious By Ethan Anderton/May 17, 2016 4:00 am EST Most of the time, the deleted scenes that end up on the cutting room floor of any given movie don’t bring anything substantial to the movie, hence why the scene was cut to begin with. However, in the case of a sparsely seen deleted scene from the horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, some new information is revealed that changes the game a little bit....

VOTD: Explore The History Of Lens Flares In Movies By Ethan Anderton/April 1, 2016 5:00 am EST Even though lens flares are usually mentioned in the same breath as J.J. Abrams nowadays, their use in motion pictures is hardly something new. However, they do seem to be more abundant, so there’s no better time to explore the history of lens flares in movies. Did you know there used to be an unwritten rule against seeing lens flares in movies?...
