Find Out Which IMAX Theaters Are Playing The ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Prologue By Angie Han/Dec. 6, 2012 5:13 pm EST Great as it was to finally get a glimpse of Star Trek Into Darkness that lasted more than 1/8 of a second, today’s one-minute “teaser announcement” really only served to whet our appetites, not satisfy them. Luckily, additional footage won’t be too hard to come by in the near future....
First Official Look: Katniss And Finnick In ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ [Updated With More Images] By Angie Han/Jan. 9, 2013 3:50 pm EST We’ve still got a long wait for Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but if last year’s marketing blitz for The Hunger Games is a good indication, Lionsgate will be offering up plenty of posters, images, clips, and trailers along the way. Today we have our first official look at Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Finnick (Sam Claflin)....
How Hollywood Ruined Fletch Won By Peter Sciretta/June 11, 2007 10:55 pm EST IESB reported a couple days back that the Fletch prequel has a new director and star. Accepted director Steve Pink will direct the film starring, get this, Joshua Jackson as Fletch (a role made famous by Chevy Chase). It’s funny how a project that once had my complete interest, has degraded into the worst possible result. Fletch Won tells the story of a young Fletch on his first story....

LOL: Watch Simon Pegg Prank The Cast Of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 3, 2013 3:00 pm EST Making a movie is tedious work and, generally, levity on set is appreciated. Enter Simon Pegg. On the set of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness, Pegg came up with the idea to tell his fellow actors that in certain scenes they had to wear globs of “Neutron Cream” to help with harmful emissions....
Marvel Was Not “Scared” Of Edgar Wright’s ‘Ant-Man’ Vision, Insists Kevin Feige By Angie Han/July 18, 2014 11:15 am EST As soon as it was revealed that Edgar Wright was leaving Ant-Man, word began to spread that his take had been too out there for Marvel Studios. There were reports of script rewrites and nervous execs, and it wasn’t tough to imagine Wright’s idiosyncratic style clashing with Marvel’s controlled vision....
Nineteen Films Submitted For Best Animated Oscar Consideration By Russ Fischer/Nov. 5, 2013 2:45 pm EST Award season is ready to get into full swing, and one of the early stages of the runup to the Academy Awards is the submission of Best Animated Feature options. This year there are nineteen submitted features, including big studio fare (Cloudy 2, The Croods, Despicable Me 2, Monsters University), one from Studio Ghibli (The Wind Rises), a European effort we’ve covered a good bit (Ernest and Celestine) and a good few films that US audiences haven’t had much chance to see yet....
Olivia Munn And Paul Bettanny Join Johnny Depp In ‘Mortdecai’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 21, 2013 8:30 am EST Briefly: Johnny Depp’s last couple years haven’t been so hot when it comes to broad success. He’s had some measure of financial success, and critical acclaim, but rarely for the same project. The Pirates franchise and stuff like The Tourist hasn’t done much to burnish Depp’s star, and smaller films like The Rum Diary haven’t found much of an audience....

SNL Takes On Avatar: Laser Cats 5, Na’vi Sex, And Internet Commenters By David Chen/Jan. 17, 2010 1:04 pm EST I haven’t been keeping up with Saturday Night Live this season, but a flurry of SNL-related tweets last night piqued my interest. Actress Sigourney Weaver hosted last evening’s show, which featured three separate Avatar-related sketches. James Cameron even stopped by to tout his next “game-changing” film, Laser Cats 5. Whether or not you think the clips are funny, what’s undeniable is that Weaver and Cameron are both excellent sports (Plus, it was worth it just to hear Weaver, playing herself, scream “I should slap her in her bitch mouth…I’m Sigourney freaking Weaver!...

Is there DLC for Batman: Arkham Origins? Where did Jaimie Alexander show up dressed as Sif from Thor: The Dark World? Are there some updates on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 viral? Read about all this and more in today’s Superhero Bits....
Terry Gilliam Wants To Work For Pixar - Plus An Exclusive Video Interview With The Man Himself By Brendon Connelly/Aug. 24, 2009 2:00 am EST After the break, a video interview in which Terry Gilliam and I discuss The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and his real plans for adapting Philip K. Dick. But first… Who doesn’t love Pixar? Okay, apart from Armond White? Not many folk, no?...

The Sounds Of ‘Wreck-It Ralph,’ ‘Argo,’ ‘Flight’ And ‘Skyfall’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 12, 2012 2:15 pm EST Odds are if you’ve been to the movies in the past four weeks, you saw Wreck-It Ralph, Argo, Flight or Skyfall. They’re the top four movies at the box office at the moment and each have their own merits. One is great family fare with fun geeky spin. The next is a taut thriller in the mold of old Hollywood....
Vince Gilligan Books His Potential ‘Breaking Bad’ Follow-Up On CBS By Germain Lussier/Sept. 26, 2013 12:00 pm EST Vince Gilligan just won the Best Drama Series Emmy for Breaking Bad and the show is finishing up with higher ratings than ever before. Where do you go when you’re at the top of the world? Apparently, CBS is one option. The network has just picked up a “series production order” for a show Gilligan created called Battle Creek....

By Russ Fischer/Oct. 10, 2012 4:45 pm EST Speaking to The Playlist, John Landis said, Sounds like a very believable studio scenario. It’s might be what Trank was talking about in a circumspect way when he said he wanted to work on original stuff rather than jumping right into the sequel for Chronicle — just look at something like the Paranormal Activity series, where there’s no way that Paramount wants something that deviates too far from the template of the first....
‘300: Rise Of An Empire’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/Dec. 4, 2013 12:00 pm EST Here’s the new trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire, the follow-up to Zack Snyder’s breakout hit 300. This one has been a long time coming, but now, after everything, the film and the new trailer might have new significance, again thanks to Snyder. The director is looking at this movie’s co-star, Callan Mulvey, as a likely villain choice for Batman vs....
‘Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie’ Trailer: The Internet Superstar Makes His Own Movie By Germain Lussier/Nov. 30, 2012 10:49 am EST James Rolfe is one of my favorite Internet personalities, but maybe you know him better by his other name: The Angry Video Game Nerd. Back in 2006, Rolfe began reviewing old, crappy video games on YouTube and quickly became an online sensation. His reviews of 8-bit games like Top Gun, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Back to the Future and accessories such as the Power Glove have been viewed by millions of people....
