Sony Wants To Release A Spider-Man Movie Every Year By Russ Fischer/Feb. 25, 2014 2:00 pm EST Does Sony rely too heavily on Spider-Man, or not heavily enough? As analysts take stock of the studio’s performance and find it wanting with respect to big-ticket franchises, studio chief Amy Pascal says in no uncertain terms that the whole point of developing the Venom and Sinister Six movies is to have a Spider-Man movie every year....

With just four days to spare, filmmaker Spike Lee has fully funded his “newest, hottest” film via the fundraising site. Lee’s goal was $1.25 million and he hit that Friday morning.

Superhero Bits: Man Of Steel, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Batman Arkham Origins, Iron Man 3, Avengers Assemble By Germain Lussier/May 16, 2013 4:00 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Somehow we missed this Man of Steel poster a few days back. Some new set photos from Captain America: The Winter Soldier reveal an as yet unrevealed cameo from a previous Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Check it out over on Comic Book Movie....
By Christopher Stipp/Aug. 3, 2012 7:00 am EST Back in April we showcased the first trailer for this movie and, now, there seems to be another one that builds quite nicely off the amazingly intense initial effort. What’s pretty exceptional about this latest trailer isn’t so much that we see anything new but that the punch that it delivers is just as satisfying as this one. There are a few new moments that add a little extra visual context to the movie but the overall effect is that this is a movie that seems like a visual compendium of the most disparate people and places and events that somehow, some way, will come together....
‘Jurassic Park’ 3D Re-Release Gets One Week Only IMAX Engagement By Angie Han/Jan. 9, 2013 10:45 am EST When Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park roars back into theaters this spring, the T-Rex and friends won’t just be snapping at your face in post-converted 3D. They’ll also be clawing at your torso on a larger-than-life scale. IMAX and Universal announced today that the Steven Spielberg classic will get a one-week run in IMAX 3D starting on the same date as the film’s wide re-release....
‘The Bay’ Trailer: Barry Levinson’s Own ‘Jaws’ Is Creepy Found-Footage Eco-Horror By Russ Fischer/Sept. 5, 2012 9:34 am EST It’s July 4 and a coastal playground in the Northeastern US is under attack from something that comes from the water. Familiar as that premise sounds to Jaws fans, this is something different. The Bay is from Barry Levinson (Wag the Dog, Rain Man) and is a found-footage assembly that looks at what happens when pollution-mutated parasites start burrowing into people....
‘The Expendables 2’ Poster: Just Call It ‘EX2’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 18, 2011 1:00 pm EST I don’t have any belief that The Expendables 2 is likely to be the movie I hope it will be. After the first movie, I’m not even convinced that this sequel is fated to be a solid action movie. But magic can happen. While we wait to see any footage from the movie that Simon West has been directing in Bulgaria, here’s a poster that also acts as the best collage of aging action stars you’re going to see this year....
‘The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty’ Trailer: A Long Look At Ben Stiller’s Romantic Adventure By Russ Fischer/Oct. 14, 2013 10:42 am EST We’ve seen two trailers for Ben Stiller’s new film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, in which Stiller plays a Life Magazine employee who pines away for a co-worker. Mitty daydreams himself into wild encounters with the object of his affections, but eventually starts living some real-life adventures....
An Updated Look At The Movies Of 2015: Sequel, Reboot And Adaptation Overload By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 14, 2013 10:00 am EST Going off the schedule of release dates from BoxOfficeMojo, there are 42 movies currently scheduled for 2015. Here is what I found. Here is the graphic: And yes, it should be noted that this far out, only bigger budget films usually claim release dates. It just so happens that bigger budget films end up being mostly sequels/remakes and animated movies....
By Russ Fischer/March 12, 2014 9:30 am EST Now the estate has signed with a new agency and Deadline reports that the machinery is in motion to create an authorized biopic. Reading between the lines this sounds more like a big commercial for Hendrix songs than a film that will really get into the down and dirty details. If you just want to see a name actor pretending to play Hendrix songs in a movie, this will very probably be the project for you....
Dominic Cooper Joins ‘Agent Carter’ By Angie Han/Sept. 30, 2014 12:45 pm EST In not remotely surprising but nevertheless very welcome news, Dominic Cooper has just been added to the cast of Marvel’s upcoming ABC series Agent Carter. Cooper, you’ll recall, played Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger and reprised the role for the Marvel One-Shot Agent Carter. He joins Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, plus Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, Shea Whigham, and James D’Arcy....
By Germain Lussier/Aug. 25, 2014 11:00 am EST Kids have the dumbest priorities. When I was young, I wanted to ride a BMX bike and skateboard. I’m not exactly sure why but I think it had to do with seeing two ’80s movies that, these days, seem pretty lost to time: Rad and Thrashin’. Each film was made as a reaction to the rising craze of extreme sports that still continues to this day, but neither was particularly successful or memorable....
First Look: Wes Anderson’s ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ [Removed] By Russ Fischer/March 7, 2013 1:50 pm EST Wes Anderson is shooting his new film, Grand Budapest Hotel, right now, with Ralph Fiennes and Saoirse Ronan in the lead roles.

Murray Abraham, Jude Law, and Mathieu Amalric....
JJ Abrams Explains What ‘Superman: Flyby’ Would Have Been By Angie Han/March 22, 2013 10:35 am EST Way back before Superman Returns or even Batman Begins, Warner Bros. tried to revive their DC film franchise with writer J.J. Abrams. That project, titled Superman: Flyby, never came to pass, but now Abrams has offered some explanation as to what his film would’ve been. Turns out it’s not totally different from what became Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel....
Katniss Is Back In New ‘Hunger Games: MockingJay Part 1’ Poster By Germain Lussier/Sept. 4, 2014 12:00 pm EST Last week, Guardians of the Galaxy became the top grossing domestic film of 2014, and hit that mark in just about four weeks’ time. That feat will probably be bested in even less time starting November 21, when The Hunger Games: MockingJay Part 1 hits theaters. Jennifer Lawrence is back as Katniss, the girl on fire and the symbol of hope for a nation rebelling against its government....
Live-Action Studio Ghibli: ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’ Remake Confirmed; Watch Miyazaki-Designed Kaiju Short By Russ Fischer/April 25, 2013 2:28 pm EST The idea of a live-action remake of one of the movies by animation master Hayao Miyazaki might not be very appealing no matter who wants to make it, even if the project is based on one of the director’s projects that is best positioned for live-action. But what about the idea of Miyazaki himself contributing to a live-action companion to one of his films?...
Page 2: Toy Story, Chuck Klosterman, Robocop, Transformers 3, Game Of Thrones, Cars 2, Indiana Jones, Muppets, Rob Zombie, Star Wars, Simon Pegg, Cowboys & Aliens By Peter Sciretta/June 17, 2011 7:00 am EST What is Page 2? Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 46 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more....
Sequel Bits: ‘Mission: Impossible 5’, ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’, ‘Creed’, ‘Transformers 4’ By Angie Han/April 30, 2014 12:30 pm EST Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opens July 11. [Collider] I think there may be more story even before that to be honest with you. Its kind of an epic story, it has a big sweep. […] How do you get from Caesar and what his world is about to that world?...
Seth Rogen To Co-Direct And Star In ‘The Interview,’ A Comedy Involving Assassination And North Korea By Russ Fischer/March 21, 2013 11:39 am EST Here’s a chance for Dennis Rodman to get back into movies. Columbia reportedly likes Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s apocalyptic comedy This is the End so much that it wants another comedy from the duo. And so they are now set to direct, with Rogen starring, in The Interview....
Superhero Bits: Guardians Of The Galaxy, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Big Hero 6, X-Men: Days Of Future Past By Germain Lussier/April 28, 2014 4:30 pm EST Want to see Robert Downey Jr. and the rest of the cast on set of Avengers: Age of Ultron? How long is X-Men: Days of Future Past? Is Scarlet Witch still in the X-Men sequel? Does Andrew Garfield think Miles Morales would fit in the Amazing Spider-Man universe?...
