Netflix Gets More Playful With ‘Arrested Development’ Marketing By Russ Fischer/Jan. 16, 2013 10:00 am EST Digital media may have a few down sides, but one great bonus is the potential for interconnectivity. Netflix has spent the past few years re-branding itself as a digital media portal with access to an extensive catalogue of movies and television. But this year it branches out into original content with the David Fincher/Kevin Spacey show House of Cards, and the long-awaited return of Arrested Development....

New Spider-Man 3 Photo: Spidey Vs. Venom By Peter Sciretta/March 13, 2007 11:32 am EST Don’t get me wrong, I’m very excited for Spider-Man 3. But one thing has worried me recently – the Topher Grace Venom church transformation. Until now that has been the only footage we’ve seen of Venom. I was starting to believe that, well, that was IT – a cliffhanger ending with the fast dolly push into Venom’s face....

‘Aftershock’ Trailer: Eli Roth, Actor, Deals With An Earthquake In Chile By Angie Han/Dec. 21, 2012 4:18 pm EST A new trailer has dropped for Eli Roth’s latest horror project, but this time he’s not the one behind the camera. Roth stars in Nicolás López’s Aftershock as one of three friends (with Ariel Levy and Nicolás Martínez) who hit up a Chilean nightclub for a wild night out.

‘Cedar Rapids’ Director Miguel Arteta Wants To Direct Adam Sandler As Naked 800-Lb. ‘Fat Man’ By Adam Quigley/Jan. 28, 2011 2:00 pm EST In his mainstream comedic roles, Adam Sandler tends to waver between two modes: playing himself, and playing garish caricatures of himself. The latter is more rare, previously granting us characters such as Little Nicky and Zohan, and soon granting us Jill. At least he’s consistent in one-upping himself, which he may continue to do with Fat Man, a project he’s purportedly circling that would find him playing a bed-ridden 800-pound man who spends the majority of the film naked....

‘Clear History’ TV Trailer: Larry David Returns To HBO By Angie Han/July 29, 2013 2:45 pm EST Walter White isn’t the only prickly small-screen antihero coming back in the next couple of weeks.

But the list of actors who were initially connected to the movie has slowly been checked off with confirmations, one by one.

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Poster And Images: He’s Firth, Colin Firth By Angie Han/May 20, 2014 9:03 am EST Like pretty much every handsome British actor of a certain age, Colin Firth has occasionally been rumored for the James Bond role. And while he never did get to play 007, he does finally get an opportunity to play a 007-type in Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming Kingsman: The Secret Service. Formerly just titled The Secret Service, the Mark Millar adaptation centers around a British intelligence agent (Firth) who grooms his street-smart nephew (Taron Egerton) to join him in the trade....

‘The Company You Keep’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/Feb. 14, 2013 4:15 pm EST The last time we saw footage from The Company You Keep — a political thriller directed by and starring Robert Redford — it was just about to premiere in Toronto. Now we’ve got a full, proper theatrical trailer for the movie. This trailer sets up the story a bit differently, using a dialogue cut-and-paste to lay out the story of two former Weather Underground members, one of whom is captured (Susan Sarandon), leading the other (Redford) to go on the run....

By Angie Han/Dec. 9, 2013 8:19 am EST But while X-Men: Days of Future Past combines the classic X-Men cast (e.g., Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen) and the newer X-Men stars (e.g., James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence) into one star-studded extravaganza, X-Men: Apocalypse will just follow the First Class team. Although First Class is one of the franchise’s lowest grossers, the studio is banking on Days of Future Past to give the younger stars the momentum they need to make X-Men: Apocalypse a hit....
