Quicksilver Revealed In New ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Photos By Germain Lussier/Jan. 9, 2014 10:08 am EST In the Marvel Universe, everyone knows the big names: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, etc. They probably even know some less popular characters too. But in 2014, a little known character is getting ready for the spotlight: Quicksilver. The mutant speedster, a son of Magneto in the comic books, will make his feature debut in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past on May 23 before appearing again in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron....

Richard Kiel, Who Played James Bond Adversary Jaws, Has Died At Age 74 By Russ Fischer/Sept. 11, 2014 5:00 am EST At 7’ 2", Richard Kiel was legitimately one of the biggest actors in Hollywood, and as a result he fought hard to avoid being typecast. The actor appeared in one of the most notable pieces of early televised science fiction, the Twilight Zone episode ‘To Serve Man,’ but will be forever known as Jaws, the steel-grilled henchman who menaced James Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker....

What’s the latest comic book-centric social controversy? How does Jennifer Lawrence describe her development in X-Men: Days of Future Past? Which comedian wants to be the bad guy in Ant-Man?

Warner Bros. Wants To Keep Playing With Legos, Making ‘Ninjago’ Movie By Angie Han/June 28, 2013 11:30 am EST We were thoroughly impressed by the first full-length trailer for Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s The Lego Movie, revealed earlier this month. Warner Bros. has presumably seen more of the film than we have, but they clearly like what they’ve seen so far. So much so, they want to keep playing with those little plastic minifigs on the big screen....

‘American Hustle’ Two-Minute Spoiler-Free Video Review By David Chen/Dec. 4, 2013 9:00 am EST Writer/director David O. Russell’s new film American Hustle, opens in New York and LA next weekend (with a nationwide release on 12/20), but I had a chance to see it on Monday night. It’s an intoxicating mix of love triangles, grifting, and amazing hair. I think it’s one of Russell’s best films, anchored by a marvelous performance by Christian Bale, who has now likely set a record for “Most Weight Gained And Lost During an Acting Career”....

‘Friday Night Lights’ Characters To Drop In To ‘Parenthood’ Web Series [Video] By Angie Han/Feb. 13, 2014 4:45 pm EST It’s pretty clear at this point that the Friday Night Lights movie sequel isn’t happening. Even Peter Berg, who’s been pushing the idea for years now, seems to have given up. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve seen the last of the Dillonites. NBC revealed today that FNL characters Landry Clarke (Jesse Plemons) and Billy Riggins (Derek Phillips) are slated to appear in an upcoming Parenthood web series....

‘Godzilla’ TV Spot: The Monster Roars By Russ Fischer/April 18, 2014 12:00 pm EST Trailers and TV spots for Godzilla have been doling out information about the film in small chunks over time. That especially goes for the monster, which has been seen in the distance, through fire and smoke, and in fractured form. But Warner Bros. and Legendary aren’t being shy with the creature; there are quite a few full images out there — we just haven’t seen much in motion so far....

‘Jayne Mansfield’s Car’ International Trailer: Billy Bob Thornton’s All-Star Family Drama By Russ Fischer/July 18, 2012 3:30 pm EST Some months ago, before shooting his latest film Jayne Mansfield’s Car, Billy Bob Thornton said that there just aren’t many movies being made lately that are really of interest to him. And indeed, the first trailer for his latest, which stars Thornton, Robert Duvall, John Hurt, Frances O’Connor, Ray Stevenson, Robert Patrick, and what looks like a draft-dodging Kevin Bacon, makes the film look like a pretty controlled, even old-fashioned family drama the likes of which we don’t often see....

‘Step Up All In,’ ‘Allegiant’ And ‘Gods Of Egypt’ Get Release Dates By Germain Lussier/Dec. 18, 2013 6:00 am EST Summit Entertainment just dated three movies, two big sequels and a major fantasy adventure.

Next is Allegiant, the third film in the Divergent franchise....

‘Storage 24’ Red-Band Trailer: Ugly Alien Attacks Pretty Londoners By Angie Han/Dec. 18, 2012 3:30 pm EST The trailers for Storage 24 get better each time. The one released earlier this month was a vast improvement over the generic-looking one we got this summer, and now a red-band version has come along to further up the ante through the power of blood and gore. The Brit horror flick centers around four attractive young people (Noel Clarke, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Colin O’Donoghue, and Laura Haddock) stuck in a storage facility when a military plane crash wreaks havoc on the city’s systems....

‘The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug’ Video Blog: Peter Jackson And Crew Finish Up The Expanded Hobbit By Russ Fischer/July 1, 2013 3:00 pm EST Peter Jackson won’t be bringing the second chapter of his adaptation of The Hobbit to Comic Con this year. After all, what more do we need as a sizzle reel for the second movie than the first film, released barely more than six months ago? Furthermore, the director says that he doesn’t have time to complete a good new footage reel, and that cast and crew availability further close out chances of putting together a Comic Con panel....

‘Zero Charisma’ Trailer: Preview The One True Nerd Movie By Russ Fischer/Sept. 16, 2013 1:45 pm EST Plenty of movies use some version of the “nerd experience” to create comedy and sympathetic characters. The lovable loser who learns to fit in with society — or who teaches society how to get along with him — is a standard archetype at this point. But no other film nails the emotions of being a hardcore nerd like Zero Charisma....

Charlie Hunnam Drops Out Of ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 12, 2013 12:16 pm EST When Charlie Hunnam was cast as one of the two leads of Fifty Shades of Grey, fans reacted in big ways, not all of which were positive. Now the actor has dropped out of the film, with the stated reason being that he’s got too much work to do on Sons of Anarchy to “adequately prepare” for the film....

Check Out Some Concept Art From Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Batman: Year One’ By Germain Lussier/May 6, 2013 5:00 pm EST UPDATE: Darren Aronofsky commented on Twitter about this work. Read his quote below. Long before Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins hit theaters, director Darren Aronofsky almost made his own take on Batman.

Cool Stuff: ‘Indiana Jones’ Vinylmations From Disney By Germain Lussier/Jan. 10, 2014 11:30 am EST Well before Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, the two companies had a great relationship. Disney Parks were full of Lucasfilm properties, including Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and that’s only become more prominent under the recent deal. The latest Disney/Lucasfilm collaboration is a brand new set of Indiana Jones Vinylmations. Vinylmations are an exclusive Disney collectible featuring various characters on 3 inch bodies shaped like Mickey Mouse....

By Germain Lussier/April 14, 2014 1:00 pm EST Most of you probably didn’t notice, but I took the day off last Friday. Why? Because I was so excited by the artwork of Craig Drake. Drake’s work should be recognizable to most. He’s got a very distinctive, technical approach that blurs the line between minimal and expressive, with a heavy dash of graphic ’80s style. He places iconic images on a simple, flat background, and makes them explode off the wall....

First Look: Autobot Hound From ‘Transformers 4’ By Peter Sciretta/May 31, 2013 12:30 pm EST This week Michael Bay and Paramount Pictures have been releasing first look photos of the redesigned vehicle modes for the Autobot characters in Transformers 4. You can see those photos here, here and here. Today Bay posted the first photo of Hound, the first generation autobot scout. Check out the photo after the jump. Bay gives us a tiny little bit of insight alongside the photo....

First Official Look At Ashton Kutcher As Steve Jobs In ‘jOBS’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 3, 2012 7:41 pm EST When Ashton Kutcher was cast as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the biopic jOBS, there was much talk about the degree of resemblance between the actor and the young engineer. Now that we’ve got the first official photo of Kutcher in the role, however, the most impressive thing about it might be the degree to which he looks like no one but Ashton Kutcher....

First Official Plot Synopsis Revealed For Brad Bird’s ‘Tomorrowland’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 26, 2013 10:00 am EST Tomorrowland, the brainchild of director Brad Bird and screenwriter Damon Lindelof, has been filming in Vancouver, BC for a few weeks now. The pair took a brief detour to the D23 Expo to tease audiences with a mysterious 1952 box and then went back to shooting the holiday 2014 release, leaving fans just as curious about the movie as we were months before hand....
