Mondo Does Two ‘Clash Of The Titans’ Posters, Reveals Mondo Con By Germain Lussier/Jan. 2, 2014 12:00 pm EST Though two recent remakes have tarnished the original’s reputation a tad, the 1981 Clash of the Titans remains a cult classic. Featuring Ray Harryhausen’s final visual effects, the film follows a hero named Perseus on an epic quest pitting him against Gods and monsters. It’s total Eighties cheese, but that lends itself perfectly to artist interpretation....

New ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Photos Include Sinister Six Tease By Germain Lussier/Aug. 19, 2013 8:54 am EST Okay, now they’re just screwing with us. For months, director Marc Webb has been teasing fans about what’s going to happen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 via his Twitter feed. Then he brought some very cool footage to Comic-Con and hinted at other heroes joining Spider-Man and maybe even the formation of the Sinister Six, a super-team of Spider-Man’s greatest foes....

Photos: Ashton Kutcher As Older Steve Jobs In ‘jOBS’ By Angie Han/Aug. 23, 2012 1:52 pm EST If you had told me a year ago that the genius co-founder of Apple Inc. and the lovable idiot from That ’70s Show were dead ringers, I probably would’ve given you the side eye. But after Ashton Kutcher won the lead role in the indie Steve Jobs biopic jOBS (on April Fool’s Day, no less), tech aficionados and movie fans took a closer look at the actor and were struck by the resemblance....

Promo Shot For Angelina Jolie’s Film ‘Unbroken’ Shows The Film’s WWII Veteran Inspiration By Russ Fischer/Oct. 10, 2013 3:45 pm EST When is a first look at a film not actually a first look at the movie? In this case, it’s when Universal sends out a shot (above) of Angelina Jolie with Louis “Louie” Zamperini, who is the subject of her new directorial effort, Unbroken. But in this case it’s a good call, because Zamperini is a war hero, and deserves his place in the spotlight....

Ron Howard Eyeing Yet Another Potential Directing Gig: ‘In The Heart Of The Sea’, Starring Chris Hemsworth By Angie Han/Jan. 24, 2013 11:00 am EST It’s not unusual for in-demand filmmakers to consider a few different projects before settling on their next gig, but Ron Howard’s really spoiled for choice at the moment.

Abrams-produced fantasy All I’ve Got, and just a couple of days ago he entered talks to helm the live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book....

Rumor: ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Drax Will Play A Big Role In ‘Avengers 3’ By Angie Han/Sept. 10, 2014 6:30 am EST Most people couldn’t dream of stealing scenes away from colorful characters like Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon, but Drax the Destroyer isn’t most people. The hilariously literal warrior won us over in this summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy, with his dry delivery, tragic sob story, and badass moves. Now it seems Marvel’s hoping he’ll do the same in Avengers 3....

Script For ‘Star Wars Episode VII’ Hasn’t Been Turned In Yet By Germain Lussier/Dec. 13, 2013 10:15 am EST Curious why the calendar has almost turned and we still have little to no information about Star Wars Episode VII? Because the people paying for it don’t have much information either. Alan Horn, the Chairman of Disney, was speaking at a Variety event Friday morning and revealed he expects to finally see a script for J....

Sony Executive Teases More ‘Spider-Man’ Heroes And Villains: Spin-Offs Or Just Sequels? [UPDATED] By Germain Lussier/Nov. 22, 2013 2:35 pm EST Is she talking about the all-but-confirmed rumor the Sinister Six will eventually appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4? Will Spider-Man need to recruit another hero to help him win that battle? Or is Pascal talking about spin-offs set in the Spider-Man universe, such as the long rumored Venom film?...

Star Wars Bits: Blu-Ray Rumors, Adam Driver’s Schedule, Set Photos, John Boyega And Boardgames By Germain Lussier/Aug. 18, 2014 2:00 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Lots of Star Wars board game news broke over the weekend, but one tidbit that didn’t get picked up was the following: CP noted that the upcoming Star Wars movie has had some effect on what they can do with X-Wing & other releases....

Fox, not Netflix, owns the rights to the series, and Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos confirmed at AllThingsD’s Dive Into Media conference this week that the comedy could hit DVD or iTunes once Netflix’s license runs out....

Theo James To Star In New ‘Underworld’ Film By Russ Fischer/Sept. 12, 2014 5:30 am EST Before Theo James smoldered in Divergent, he smoldered in Underworld: Awakening. In the most recent chapter of the fantasy/action series, James played a vampire named David who lent a hand to Kate Beckinsale’s Selene. Now a new Underworld movie is in development, and counter to some reports it won’t be a remake or reboot. No, this is a new sequel, and Theo James will lead the Underworld 5 cast....

What an extraordinary piece of work Kohan has created: a show that is brimming with rich, complex characters, and that looks and sounds like nothing else on TV (or Netflix) right now....

Vin Diesel Could Play Groot In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 11, 2013 11:40 am EST Few Facebook pages generate buzz like Vin Diesel’s. All the actor has to do is change one thing on his page and his 45 million fans just go nuts. This happened recently with an image of xXx, talk of a meeting with Marvel and it happened again Sunday. Diesel posted a photo of a talking tree, suggesting he could be joining James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy as the voice of Groot....

Watch George Miller Discuss ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ [Comic Con 2014] By Russ Fischer/July 28, 2014 2:15 pm EST Because The Road Warrior is one of the best and most pure action films ever made, we’ve been clocking the development of Fury Road for years. Our first coverage was back in 2008, and the announcement that Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy could be in the film dates back to ‘09. News that director George Miller has written not one, but two sequels goes back to 2011....

Zack Snyder Seeking Love Interest For Batman In ‘Batman Vs. Superman’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 4, 2013 11:30 am EST Latino Review got their hands on a casting breakdown that’s circulating at the talent agencies, which they describe as follows: Tall, late 20s and all ethnicities. Isn’t Ben Affleck in his early 40s? Oh Bruce Wayne, you dog you. The casting breakdown doesn’t give a name for the character so whether its Wonder Woman, Vicky Vale or someone totally different we don’t yet know....

‘Locke’ Trailer: Tom Hardy Has A Lot Of Problems By Angie Han/March 6, 2014 1:45 pm EST The premise of Locke sounds, frankly, boring as hell. It’s an 85-minute movie about a guy answering phone calls in his car and getting stressed out about his personal and professional lives. Yet reviews out of Sundance (including Peter’s) indicate that it’s anything but, and the first Locke trailer we got last month backed up all that praise....
