New ‘Dredd’ Set Photo Shows Full Costume And Lawmaster Bike By Russ Fischer/Jan. 21, 2011 12:31 pm EST [No photo] We’ve seen a few photos from Dredd, including one that gave a pretty good idea of how Karl Urban would look wearing the helmet that is a core part of the uniform for the title character. Now here’s a shot that shows a Judge in full costume riding one of the high-tech Lawmaster bikes used by the Judges in Mega-City One....

POTD: Albuquerque Newspaper Publishes Obituary For ‘Breaking Bad’ Character By Germain Lussier/Oct. 4, 2013 11:15 am EST While Albuquerque was always literally on the map, Breaking Bad helped establish it in terms of pop culture. Vince Gilligan’s show shot on location in the New Mexico city for six years as it continued to gain an audience on AMC, turning Albuquerque into a tourist attraction. It seems only fitting, then, that in Friday’s edition of local newspaper The ABQ Journal, an obituary ran for a character that didn’t survive the series....
Sony Buys ‘The Director’ For Producer Scott Rudin; Paul Greengrass Courted To Helm By Angie Han/Jan. 15, 2014 5:49 pm EST Vampire romances and fairy tale retellings may come and go, but spy stories never really seem to go out of style. The latest to get picked up is The Director, based on a forthcoming novel by Body of Lies author David Ignatius. Scott Rudin is attached to produce, and he already has a director in mind: Paul Greengrass....

Tour Legendary’s Crimson Peak And Pacific Rim Comic Con Exhibits With Guillermo Del Toro By Germain Lussier/Aug. 11, 2014 11:17 am EST The show floor at San Diego Comic-Con is an obstacle course crossed with a puzzle. You’ll traverse masses of people and giant booths to find cool things of interest that could be hidden anywhere. For movie fans, one of the best (and best-hidden) booths was for Legendary Pictures. Though it was extremely tiny, it had very cool things from three movies: Warcraft, Pacific Rim and Crimson Peak....
Watch The ‘Transformers’ IMAX 3D Trailer And “Premake”, Plus: Everything Wrong With ‘Transformers 2’ By Angie Han/June 17, 2014 3:30 pm EST Even on a summer movie calendar jam-packed with big-budget blockbusters, Transformers: Age of Extinction stands out as one of the biggest, most blockbuster-iest of all. Indeed, it was literally designed to be seen on the largest screen you can find — director Michael Bay shot scenes in native IMAX, as this new Transformers IMAX 3D trailer is happy to inform you....
‘A Most Wanted Man’ International Trailer: Anton Corbijn Adapts John Le Carre By Russ Fischer/Jan. 3, 2014 6:00 am EST Anton Corbijn’s third film A Most Wanted Man has been some time coming. Shot in the fall of 2012, the film was originally scheduled to hit the UK (at least) in 2013, but will now premiere at Sundance later this month and then get a US release from Lionsgate. We’re still waiting for the domestic trailer, but for now we’ve got a Spanish version....
‘Big Eyes’ Trailer: Tim Burton Comes Back Down To Earth By Angie Han/Sept. 19, 2014 9:00 am EST There are certain things we’ve come to expect from a Tim Burton movie. Fantastical settings with whimsical rules. Dead people and undead creatures. Johnny Depp in heavy white makeup. But his latest movie Big Eyes has none of that, and looks all the more intriguing for it. The historical drama stars Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz as real-life artist Margaret and Walter Keane, whose paintings of doe-eyed children became a phenomenon in the ’50s and ’60s....
‘Deliver Us From Evil’ Trailer #2: Jerry Bruckheimer’s Summer Horror Film From ‘Sinister’ Director By Germain Lussier/May 14, 2014 8:33 am EST These days, it seems like every summer has a big breakout horror hit. In 2014, the smart money is on Deliver Us From Evil. The film is from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, making the first horror movie in his long career, and is directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister) with stars Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez, Olivia Munn, Sean Harris, and Joel McHale....
‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Featurette: Marvel Goes To Space By Angie Han/April 16, 2014 9:00 am EST Guardians of the Galaxy doesn’t really look like anything that’s come before it in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s a good thing for those of us eager to see Marvel branch out, but a potential WTF for those who take comfort in Marvel’s reliability and consistency. So a new Guardians of the Galaxy featurette tries to encourage those in the latter camp to join the former....
‘The Assault’ Trailer: A Real-Life Hostage Stand-Off Story By Russ Fischer/March 15, 2012 10:00 am EST On Christmas Eve 1994, four terrorists hijacked a Paris bound flight, holding 227 people hostage. France’s elite counter-terrorism unit was assembled to combat the terrorists and release the hostages, and their two-day effort was chronicled in a 2010 film called The Assault. Julien Leclercq (Chrysalis) directs what appears to be quite a riveting story about the planning and execution of the anti-terrorist action....
‘The Flash’ Teaser Trailer: Faster Than A Flying Arrow [Updated] By Russ Fischer/May 15, 2014 9:40 am EST You’ll see more of Oliver Queen than you will of The Flash in this first teaser trailer for the hero’s spin-off show. But what we do see of the scarlet speedster will give you the basics: his costume, the way he moves, and a flash of personality. While we may still see a separate version of the character on the big screen as part of the Justice League plan WB is building, for now this will be the only one we’ve got....
‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1’ Teaser: A Message From The Capitol By Angie Han/June 25, 2014 7:07 am EST The Lionsgate marketing team continues to knock it out of the park with the first The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 teaser. Rather than dishing out the usual 20-second melange of explosions and one-liners, they’ve delivered a beautifully creepy piece of Capitol propaganda, read by President Snow (Donald Sutherland) himself....
‘The Purge: Anarchy’ Teaser Trailer By Russ Fischer/Feb. 12, 2014 9:20 am EST In The Purge: Anarchy, which comes from the writer/director of the 2013 sleeper hit film, a young couple is stranded in the middle of a city when their car breaks down. But this breakdown happens at the worst possible time: just hours before the annual Purge begins. The Purge — that 12-hour period when all crime is legal, as outlined in the original film — is really not when you want to be out on the streets, unless you’re wearing a mask or some face paint and carrying a hefty weapon, and preferably have a gang of friends along with similar gear....
‘The Summit’ Trailer: Sundance Selected Climbing Documentary About Death On K2 By Germain Lussier/Nov. 30, 2012 10:18 am EST The Summit was selected in the World Cinema Documentary category but if you watch this trailer, you might think there’s no way it can be real. Can it? Watch it below. Thanks to TwitchFilm (via First Showing) for the heads up. Here’s the trailer for The Summit. And here’s the plot description of the film:...
