This year alone, we’ll see Ridley Scott’s Exodus, Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, and the Jesus tale Son of God.

Literal Set Photos From Paul Thomas Anderson’s Latest By Germain Lussier/June 14, 2011 2:00 pm EST [No photo] While most of the best set photos usually feature actors or filmmakers, there is a rare caliber of upcoming film where the sets themselves are exciting. Usually, that’s reserved for the mega-blockbusters like The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers however, in the case of Paul Thomas Anderson’s currently untitled film which was previously called The Master, we’ll make an exception....

Paul Feig Will Produce Fox’s ‘Peanuts’ Movie By Angie Han/Oct. 23, 2013 2:34 pm EST After a couple of R-rated successes, Paul Feig is mixing it up with some family fare. The Bridesmaids director has just signed on to produce the upcoming Peanuts movie for Blue Sky Studios and 20th Century Fox, where Feig has a first-look deal. The project represents new territory for Feig, not because it’s kid-friendly — before Bridesmaids, his last feature was the PG-rated Unaccompanied Minors — but because it’s animated....

Rumor: Paul Walker’s Brother To Help With ‘Fast And Furious 7’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 16, 2013 11:42 am EST No one is ever prepared for the death of a loved one. Be it a family member, friend or acquaintance, when someone passes away, it can be impossible to focus on the future, and fill the hole they left. In the case of Paul Walker, who tragically passed away in November, that surely happened not only with his friends and family, but with his co-workers too....

We Know How Old Ben Affleck’s Batman Is In ‘Batman V Superman’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 11, 2014 4:05 pm EST We’ve known Ben Affleck was going to be the next Batman for almost a year. Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. made the surprise announcement on August 22, 2013 and even then, the vision was incredibly strong. “[Affleck] has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne,” Snyder said at the time....
Why Fanboys Was Delayed By Peter Sciretta/April 19, 2007 5:40 am EST I’ve been waiting to see Fanboys for quite some time now (although, not nearly as long as I’ve been awaiting Patrick Read Johnson’s 5-25-77).

‘Cesar Chavez’ Trailer: Michael Peña Leads A Revolution For Director Diego Luna By Angie Han/Jan. 17, 2014 2:30 pm EST Michael Peña has been working steadily for over a decade, but he’s usually the guy in the supporting role, not the lead. So Cesar Chavez seems like a nice change of pace for the underrated actor, as he gets to play the title character this time around. Directed by Y Tu Mamá También star Diego Luna, the biopic follows the life and times of the iconic civil rights leader, chronicling his farm workers movement from its early days....
‘Fast And Furious’ Franchise To Be Spoofed In ‘Superfast!’ By Germain Lussier/May 16, 2013 11:30 am EST The great thing about the sixth Fast and Furious movie is it doesn’t take itself too seriously. In a way, it’s almost a big-budget spoof of the rest of the franchise, giving fans a bare bones plot filled with the action and excitement they crave. Leave it to the filmmakers behind Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Vampires Suck, Meet the Spartans and the upcoming The Starving Games to take it even further....
