Quentin Tarantino Explains ‘The Lone Ranger’ Love, Dismisses Batman By Russ Fischer/Oct. 10, 2013 3:15 pm EST In truth, I wasn’t surprised to hear that Quentin Tarantino found The Lone Ranger to be a personal favorite of 2013, so far.

See Official ‘Agent Carter’ Teaser Image And Info By Russ Fischer/May 12, 2014 10:30 am EST Last week ABC gave the green light to the Captain America spin-off series Agent Carter, starring Hayley Atwell. The series will effectively jump off from the Agent Carter One-Shot short film included on the Iron Man 3 blu-ray, using that short as a pilot to launch the series. ABC also renewed Agents of SHIELD, and given the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we figured the two series would be related....

‘20,000 Days On Earth’ International Trailer: Nick Cave Tells The Truth, Or A Version Of It By Russ Fischer/July 14, 2014 10:45 am EST 20,000 Days on Earth is a magnificent film. Mostly a documentary, the movie is a profile of Australian singer/songwriter/film composer/author Nick Cave. But the film is really about creativity, and songwriting, and memory. It’s a mold-breaking doc that willfully does away with the rigors of hardcore doc filmmaking by staging scenarios in which Cave can be provoked to reveal things about himself and his work....

The story here comes from Joseph Delaney’s dark fantasy novel series The Wardstone Chronicles. This could be the first of a few films, though with Legendary moving to a new partnership with Universal, the business plan there could be a bit more complicated than if Legendary had stuck with Warner Bros....
