‘Green Lantern’ Screenwriter To Rewrite ‘Blade Runner’ Sequel By Russ Fischer/May 31, 2013 12:55 pm EST The notion of a Blade Runner sequel wasn’t something a lot of sci-fi fans wanted to think about even before Ridley Scott made Prometheus. And now that we have that semi-prequel to Alien to take into account, it seems more than ever that Blade Runner might be better left alone. The new film is happening, however, based on a first draft by Blade Runner writer Hampton Fancher....

‘Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight’ TV Trailer: Out Of The Ring And Into The Courtroom By Angie Han/Aug. 13, 2013 4:00 pm EST With a title like Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight, you’d think it’d be safe to assume HBO Films’ upcoming release was a sports film. But no, Stephen Frears’ drama follows Ali’s historic Supreme Court battle to stay out of the Vietnam War. Ali was drafted in the ’60s but refused to go, citing his religion and declaring himself a conscientious objector....

‘Scream 4’ - What Did You Think? By David Chen/April 16, 2011 6:44 am EST There are a lot of questions surrounding the release of Wes Craven’s Scream 4 this weekend. Can Craven still pull off a solid horror thriller? (Obviously the man is a legend, but 2010’s My Soul To Take wasn’t exactly his most impressive work.) Even if Craven succeeds as a director, can he reinvigorate a moribund franchise?...

‘Transformers: The Ride’ Trailers And Photos By Germain Lussier/Oct. 5, 2011 1:30 pm EST Movies getting made into huge theme park rides isn’t anything new. Star Wars was turned to Star Tours over two decades ago and just got a big reboot. Harry Potter has his own land, Spider-Man and The Simpsons have advanced 3D rides and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The next franchise to be turned into a massive attraction is Transformers as Transformers: The Ride is set to first open at Universal Studios Singapore in December 2011 and Universal Studio Hollywood in Spring 2012....

The actor recently teased another collaboration for the duo, who’ve been working together on and off since the ’90s. Hit the jump to read his comments....

Ellen DeGeneres Dances Her Way Through First Trailer For 2014 Oscars By Angie Han/Dec. 20, 2013 5:00 am EST In truth, it’s a bit early to be thinking about the Oscars. The awards ceremony isn’t for another two and a half months, and nominations won’t even be announced for another month. Heck, nominations voting doesn’t even begin for another few days. But when the first promo for the event is this charming, it’s tough to complain much....

Well, that and killing people.

First Look: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Epilogue By Peter Sciretta/May 25, 2010 11:00 am EST I don’t think it is a spoiler to tell you that the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ends with an epilogue showing what happened to the surviving characters in the decades following the events of the books. Many of you have probably already read the book, and know that David Yates is filming the scenes for the last movie, employing make-up and wigs to make the actors look older....

Sharlto Copley and Susan Heyward lead the cast as two cops who specialize in cases involving “Powers,” i.e., people with superpowers.

Marvel Studios President Confirms ‘Daredevil’ Back In The Family By Germain Lussier/April 23, 2013 11:34 am EST Now Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, has confirmed that the rights to Daredevil are, indeed, back in the Disney and Marvel family.

Michael Bay Praises Upcoming ‘Transformers’ While Criticizing Previous ‘Transformers,’ Again By Germain Lussier/Dec. 4, 2013 3:30 pm EST Michael Bay, once again, is his own worst critic. In 2011, the action director used the word “crap” to describe the mystical storyline of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. (Read the full quote here.) At the time, he was confident the third film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, would be better. Fast forward to 2013 and, discussing the upcoming fourth Transformers installment, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Bay has once again criticized his previous work, this time saying the third film was “a bit too goofy....

Jay Baruchel, check, topless guy with weird hair, check… wait a second. Who the hell is that?David Slade’s twitter account mysteriously disappeared from Twitter days before it was announced that he would be helming the Twilight threequel Eclipse. The idea of Twilight fangirls having instant access to him must have scared him into hiding....

Paramount Developing ‘Truman Show’ TV Series By Russ Fischer/April 9, 2014 12:30 pm EST When The Truman Show was released in 1998 it was hardly the first time we’d seen the concept, in which a man discovers that his entire life is a television show designed to entertain the masses. Similar concepts had been explored in various sci-fi stories, but Peter Weir’s film starring Jim Carrey added a particular spin that made The Truman Show feel whole and very much its own thing....
