POTD: Veterinary Services ‘Jurassic World’ Patch By Germain Lussier/May 27, 2014 9:21 am EST Briefly: Lots of rumors have been circulating in recent days in regards to Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World. Is it set at a park? Is that park functioning? Are there good dinosaurs there? Have humans tamed the dinosaurs? We’ll hopefully have some answers to those questions soon. In the meantime, the director took to Twitter to tease a few of those answers....

See The ‘Breaking Bad’ Finale Live With The Cast, In The Hollywood Forever Cemetary By Germain Lussier/Aug. 28, 2013 2:45 pm EST Briefly: Way back in February we were one of the first places to let you know Aaron Paul was planning a big outdoor Hollywood party for the final episode of Breaking Bad. Now, with the season almost halfway over (so upsetting), those plans have finally been set. It’s happening in Los Angeles, CA at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery at 8 p....

Stephen King’s ‘It’ Adaptation Goes To New Line By Russ Fischer/May 21, 2014 11:00 am EST Two big Stephen King books — big both in reputation, and in page count — have long been in development at Warner Bros. One is The Stand, which after cycling through a few different filmmakers has Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) set to write and direct. The other is It, and we haven’t heard much about that in the past couple years....

By Angie Han/Oct. 9, 2012 9:30 am EST Continuing a tradition that started with last year’s surprise unveiling of the then-unfinished Hugo, the New York Film Festival this week revealed a first look at a work-in-progress cut of Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. Though we’ve seen little of the film so far, aside from a couple of trailers, the subject matter and the talent involved have marked it from early on as a potential Oscar contender....

By Germain Lussier/Aug. 14, 2013 5:00 am EST I’m going to go out on a limb here and say artist Alex Pardee, like many of us, is an Edgar Wright fan. Pardee did a “literally mind-blowing” poster for Wright triple feature back in 2011 featuring images from Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.Now, Focus Features commissioned him to do a follow-up. The poster is for Wright’s upcoming release The World’s End, and it’s a striking, violent, but incredibly on-point visualization of the film....

SyFy Greenlights ‘Robot Combat League,’ A Boxing Robot Television Show By Germain Lussier/Nov. 21, 2012 10:45 am EST Transformers. Real Steel. Robot Jox. Movies that fulfill the boyhood promise of toys like Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots. A promise that one day real robots would really fight. It’s a promise that, until now, has only been possible in the movies or on a small scale, like with Battle Bots. The next step in that robot evolution takes place in 2013 as SyFy has just green lit Robot Combat League, which premieres February 26....

The Full ‘Flash’ Costume Has Been Revealed By Germain Lussier/March 11, 2014 9:35 am EST Grant Gustin’s full Flash costume has been revealed. A few weeks back, we saw a glimpse of the helmet that’ll be used on the upcoming CW pilot, but now, we have our first look at the full head-to-toe costume. Check it out below. Thanks to Comic Book Resources, here’s the image: As we previously wrote about the Flash costume: Colleen Atwood, who created Arrow’s costume, designed this....

TV Trailers: ‘American Horror Story’ And ‘Homeland’ Season 2, ‘Dexter’ Season 7 And ‘Glee’ Season 4 By Germain Lussier/Aug. 17, 2012 1:00 pm EST Television has already begun to take over most movies in terms of quality and now it seems like they’re trying to take over the way films are marketed to. Trailers for upcoming seasons of TV are becoming the norm and four new ones have recently come online....

Was That A Punisher Cameo In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’? By Angie Han/Sept. 15, 2014 10:00 am EST Between Black Widow, Falcon, Nick Fury, and of course Cap himself, Captain America: The Winter Soldier had plenty of heroes already. But there may have been one more we didn’t get to see. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo teased what sounds like a Punisher cameo in the film, and even joke that the anti-hero could be up for his own Marvel One-Shot....

Watch A Video Primer For Apocalypse, The Presumed Villain Of ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ By Angie Han/Dec. 20, 2013 12:30 pm EST That X-Men: Days of Future Past is getting a sequel isn’t much of a surprise, but Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalpyse announcement coming months before Days of Future Past even opened did. We’re not complaining, though — that just gives us more time to brush up on the source material. While Apocalypse is one of the X-Men’s better known adversaries, he’s racked up so much story and backstory since his introduction in 1986 that even savvy comic book readers may need a refresher....

WTF: ‘Breaking Bad’ Blue Meth Actually Circulating In New Mexico By Germain Lussier/Jan. 14, 2014 12:15 pm EST Briefly: Call it a sick case of life imitating art, but ABC News is reporting methamphetamine tinted the color blue has begun circulating in the Four Corners section of New Mexico. Blue meth, of course, was the signature drug created by Walter White in Breaking Bad. On the fictional show, the blue color was a signifier of the pure quality of White’s product, and distinguished his work as unique....

‘Ant-Man’ Finds A Villain In Marvel One-Shot Actor Matt Gerald By Angie Han/April 7, 2014 10:30 am EST The cast of Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man comes from all over the world of film and television. But to find the latest addition, Marvel didn’t even have to look outside the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe. Matt Gerald, who appeared as White Power Dave in the Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King, has reportedly boarded Ant-Man in a villainous role....

‘Fast & Furious 6’ - What Did You Think? By Russ Fischer/May 24, 2013 5:00 pm EST Cast your mind back to the release of 2 Fast 2 Furious, a film that was derided from nearly all corners, and then look at this week’s release of Fast & Furious 6. It took a decade, but Universal’s car-racing franchise has evolved into “event” status. Whether you like the films or not, there’s no arguing that under the stewardship of Justin Lin, who took over as director with the third movie, this series of films has exploded as a fan favorite....

‘Gotham’ Director Wants To Introduce Mr. Freeze By Angie Han/June 24, 2014 2:00 pm EST Fox’s Gotham is ostensibly the origin story of Jim Gordon and Batman, but it seems to be as much about the villains as it is the heroes. Catwoman, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Poison Ivy are just a few of the classic characters we can expect to meet, along with new inventions like Jada Pinkett Smith’s Fish Mooney....

‘Gravity’ Trailer: Life In Space Is Impossible By Russ Fischer/Sept. 4, 2013 5:15 pm EST Here’s a new full trailer for Gravity, the Alfonso Cuarón movie that has wowed audiences, and earned a rave from James Cameron. It uses some of the same footage we’ve seen in the past, but does a little extra work to put it into context. The idea seems to be to tell audiences that might not know anything about the film just what the situation is, and (for those without imaginations) why it is so dire....

‘Short Term 12’ Star Keith Stanfield To Play Snoop Dogg In ‘Straight Outta Compton’ By Angie Han/Aug. 25, 2014 12:30 pm EST Casting for any sort of musical movie can be tricky, since great actors don’t necessarily make for great musicians and vice versa. But the filmmakers behind the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton seem to have lucked out with Keith Stanfield. The 23-year-old actor and rapper, who broke our hearts with his big musical moment in Short Term 12, is set to play a young Snoop Dogg in the upcoming film....

‘The East’ Is A Tense Eco Thriller About Infiltrating Fight Club’s Project Mayhem [Sundance 2013 Review] By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 22, 2013 7:00 am EST This movie looks fantastic, but the screenplay by Brit and Zal is what impressed me the most. Almost every scene involves a twist which furthers the plot into a new direction. Exposition and set-up is accomplished cleverly with visuals, when other movies would have done so in dialogue....
