POTD: Clark Kent In ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ By Germain Lussier/June 30, 2014 8:30 am EST It’s not quite as exciting as our first look at Superman in Man of Steel or Batman and his Batmobile, but we now have an semi-official look at Henry Cavill as Clark Kent in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Set Footage: Spider-Man Swings Through Traffic By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 31, 2011 8:00 am EST I know there has been a lot of set photos and videos coming out of the Spider-Man set, but this is one worth watching. It features Spider-Man swinging through traffic on wires. It’s actually kind of cool to see an actual human being flying through the air, as opposed to a computer generated superhero. Can’t wait to see what this looks like in the film....

Warner Bros. Plots Feature Version Of ‘Blade Runner’-Esque Sci-Fi Short ‘True Skin’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 17, 2012 4:00 pm EST While there will always be exceptions, few execs at big studios are looking to make new talent discoveries based on storytelling prowess. They’re looking for people who can make expensive-looking features for relatively little money — and whose salaries will be low as well. Pixels and Panic Attack are a couple examples of shots where the filmmakers proved that they could leverage whatever effects access they had into something that caught the public eye....

Watch ‘Toy Story OF TERROR!’ Extended Clip By Russ Fischer/Oct. 3, 2013 3:30 pm EST I almost feel bad for Toy Story OF TERROR!, at least today. The Pixar short has debuted an extended clip that will give you a good look at what the Halloween-themed story will deliver when it airs later this month. And that’s well and good. But today the short has to compete for attention with Guillermo del Toro’s excellent Halloween-themed opening for The Simpsons....

‘Gangster Squad’ Trailer #2: No Names, No Badges, No Mercy, New Poster By Germain Lussier/Oct. 11, 2012 4:42 pm EST In a world where the Aurora Massacre didn’t take place, Gangster Squad would be now completing its theatrical run. Instead we’re just getting the film’s second trailer.

‘Rush’ Trailer: Chris Hemsworth And Daniel Brühl Are Fast, Furious By Angie Han/May 23, 2013 10:40 am EST It goes almost without saying that the vehicular stunts in this weekend’s Fast & Furious 6, as fun as they are to watch, bear no resemblance to reality whatsoever. For audiences that like their car action a little more plausible, however, can look forward to Ron Howard’s Rush. Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl lead the fact-based drama about the epic rivalry between Formula One drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda....
