Michael Keaton And Tim Burton Have Been Chatting About ‘Beetlejuice 2’ By Angie Han/Feb. 14, 2014 4:00 pm EST After reviving one ’80s classic, Michael Keaton is ready to revisit another. The Robocop star confirmed he’s been chatting with director Tim Burton about the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel — though it doesn’t sound like he’s 100% locked in just yet. Hit the jump to read his comments. I’ve e-mailed Tim a couple of times, talked to the writer a couple of times, but all really, really preliminary stuff....

VOTD: ‘Back To The Future Part II’ Hoverboard Test Footage By Germain Lussier/Aug. 9, 2012 6:00 am EST Anyone who has spent hours with their Back to the Future Blu-rays has likely seen this phenomenal 60 second clip. However, if you’re like me your set is currently collecting dust on the shelf, you have no idea what your missing. On Back to the Future Part II, there’s a clip of pre-production test footage for the most iconic scene in the hit sequel: the hoverboard chase....

VOTD: Everything Wrong With ‘Spider-Man 3’ By Peter Sciretta/May 9, 2014 11:05 am EST If I were to judge The Amazing Spider-man 2 solely on the responses I’ve seen on my film-geek filled twitter feed and my movie critic-filled RSS feed (the film has a 55% rotten critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes), I would think this might be the worst comic book movie of all time. I saw Amazing Spider-man 2 after some of the negative buzz and was pleasantly surprised....

By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 3, 2014 9:00 am EST The small screen regularly attracts many big screen filmmakers to film 30 and 60 second television commercials, but the Super Bowl is the premiere for many of these new spots. So beyond the commercials for big screen movies and television shows, which of the commercials shown during the big game were directed by movie directors? Find out after the jump. The Maserati spot “Strike” felt heavily inspired by Beasts of a Southern Wild, so much so that it also shares the same Oscar nominated star....

Zack Snyder Blasts Terry Gilliam’s ‘Watchmen’ Idea By Angie Han/March 3, 2014 10:30 am EST Last week, producer Joel Silver said a little something about how Terry Gilliam’s Watchmen would have been “a MUCH much better movie” than the one Zack Snyder turned in, complete with a detailed explanation of the ending that Gilliam had had in mind. Snyder himself has read Silver’s words, and (unsurprisingly, and understandably), he’s inclined to disagree....

‘99% - The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film’ Trailer By Angie Han/Aug. 7, 2013 11:30 am EST It’s been less than two years since protesters first set down in New York City’s Zuccotti Park to rally against social and economic injustice, so it’s a little weird that Occupy Wall Street already feels like a distant memory. (Or is that just me?) But a new documentary could help bring us back to those heady times....

‘Blackfish’ Trailer: Wild Intelligence Untamed In Captivity By Russ Fischer/June 3, 2013 5:24 pm EST The documentary Blackfish looks into the death of a Sea World employee who was drowned by the killer whale she trained. In 2010 the orca Tilikum gripped 40-year-old female trainer Dawn Brancheau in his mouth, drowning her during a performance. The film uses that death to look at the way the species is treated in captivity, and at the effect certain conditions have on the animals’ well-being....

‘Dumb And Dumber To’ Trailer: Lloyd And Harry Are Back And Dumber Than Ever By Germain Lussier/June 10, 2014 9:29 pm EST Dumb and Dumber To is actually happening. It’s incredibly hard to believe but it’s true. Twenty years after the release of the comedy smash by the Farrelly Brothers, Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey are reprising their roles to continue the story of numbskulls Harry and Lloyd. Set in real time after the events of the first film, the duo set off to find Harry’s daughter....

‘Ragnarok’ Trailer: Man Knows So Little By Russ Fischer/April 2, 2013 4:30 pm EST Investigation of a centuries-old viking ship fuels the desire for discovery, and may lead to an encounter with ancient forces in the Norwegian film Ragnarok. Pål Sverre Hagen, from the Oscar-nominated Kon Tiki stars as an archaeologist whose interest in the Oseberg Viking ship may lead to an all-too personal brush with the legendary end of days, and Mikkel Sandemose directs....

‘Stand Up Guys’ Getting Oscar-Qualifying December Release; ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Might Not Open Wide Until 2013 By Angie Han/Oct. 24, 2012 4:00 pm EST Film release scheduling tends to get tricky around the end of the year. Not only do studios have to weigh all the usual concerns, they also need to keep an eye on the December 31 cutoff date for Academy Award qualification, and so they devise strategies to work around it or use it to their benefit....

‘The Cabin In The Woods’ Director Drew Goddard To Write ‘Daredevil’ For Netflix By Germain Lussier/Nov. 12, 2013 12:30 pm EST The first name attached to Marvel’s Netflix shows has been revealed. It’s Drew Goddard, director and co-writer of The Cabin in the Woods. He’s in negotiations to write the series based on the blind superhero Daredevil. The Wrap broke the news but Marvel nor Goddard’s reps had any comment. Goddard has worked on some of the biggest properties of the past few years....

‘Walking Dead’ Season 5 Trailer: Constant Vigilance By Angie Han/Sept. 9, 2014 7:30 am EST Rick has a very important message in the new The Walking Dead Season 5 trailer: “Never let your guard down.” Which, on the one hand, seems kind of unnecessary. Surely anyone who’s survived this long zombie-infested world long enough to hear that advice, did so by staying alert at all times. On the other, though, it never hurts to be reminded....

‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Viral Video Gives First Look At Mutant-Hunting Sentinels By Russ Fischer/July 30, 2013 11:19 am EST Here’s your first official video look at a couple of the big elements from Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. Or, to be pedantic, one giant element and one human one. The video below is an “advertisement” for Trask Industries, a high-tech firm focused in part on national security....
