In the wake of last year’s huge Iron Man success, Black has been taking time to get his next film off the ground....
Stan Lee Media, Which Does Not Represent Stan Lee, Suing For Control Of Marvel Characters By Russ Fischer/Oct. 10, 2012 9:30 am EST Let’s clear up something right off the bat: while Marvel Comics founder Stan Lee created the company Stan Lee Media Inc. in the ’90s, he has nothing to do with the company now. The end of the dot-com bubble caused the end of Stan Lee Media as an operating entity by December 2000....
Star Wars Bits: See A ‘Star Wars Episode VII’ Stormtrooper, Plus Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rebels, Domnhall Gleeson By Germain Lussier/Aug. 12, 2014 7:00 am EST Some very interesting Star Wars Rebels news combines with some fun, and potentially revealing Star Wars Episode VII news. In this edition of Star Wars Bits, read about the following: Looper and Brick star Joseph Gordon-Levitt geeks out over Rian Johnson directing Star Wars Episode VIII.

Which Always Sunny star auditioned to play Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy?...
Warner Bros. Pretends ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ Isn’t Called ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ By Angie Han/Aug. 14, 2014 4:00 pm EST Edge of Tomorrow isn’t the worst film this summer, not by a long shot, but it might be the worst title. It’s bland. It’s forgettable. It tells you nothing about the movie. And it’s infinitely less memorable than the original title, All You Need Is Kill. Apparently, Warner Bros. doesn’t much like the name either....
‘Almost Human’ Extended Trailer By Russ Fischer/Nov. 15, 2013 2:45 pm EST The lines between movies and TV continue to blur, and while TV may be the best medium for telling extended stories, the best way to promote those stories can be with a movie-style trailer. So here’s the long trailer for Fox’s Almost Human, which stars Karl Urban as a growling human cop who isn’t so thrilled to be saddled with a very lifelike synthetic partner, played by Michael Ealy....
‘Machete Kills’ Red-Band Trailer #2 By Russ Fischer/Sept. 17, 2013 11:15 am EST At this point you probably know what the Robert Rodriguez film Machete Kills is all about, so a new red-band trailer is just a mid-week distraction. But if you’re looking for the sort of distraction that involves wild violence, exploitative action, and a knife fight with Mel Gibson, this is going to be perfect. This sequel to Machete is a cavalcade of stars, or at least of personality....
‘Red Riding Hood’ Theatrical Trailer By Germain Lussier/Jan. 20, 2011 9:00 am EST Warner Brothers has released the full theatrical trailer for Catherine Hardwicke’s brand new interpretation of the classic fairy tale, Red Riding Hood, starring Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman. It basically takes the key visual from the previous trailer and adds in an extra minute of montage cut to hard rock.

‘Rise Of The Apes’ Featurette Recaps The Grand Arc Of The Film’s Story By Russ Fischer/April 29, 2011 11:00 am EST Do you feel like the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer didn’t give you enough of the film’s full story? Then check out this new-ish featurette that explains a good chunk of the tale. I say ’new-ish’ because this premiered during the Apes webcast that took place a few weeks back; this is just the standalone release....
‘Star Wars Episode VII’ And ‘Avatar 2’ Will Both Start Shooting Early 2014 By Germain Lussier/May 6, 2013 2:00 pm EST Two of the most anticipated sequels in history will reportedly start filming around the same time.

Abrams and co-founder of Bad Robot, suggested the window for Star Wars....
‘The To Do List’ Green-Band Trailer: Aubrey Plaza’s Summer Of Love By Angie Han/June 12, 2013 1:48 pm EST Aubrey Plaza’s onscreen persona tends toward sharp and witty, but in Maggie Carey’s The To Do List she plays (somewhat) against type as a naive, innocent teen. Informed by big sis Amber (Rachel Bilson) that college is “like one big sexual pop quiz,” valedictorian Brandy (Plaza) decides she needs to study up — which, given her Type-A personality, means checking off a long list of sex acts in the summer between high school and college....
‘The World’s End’ Trilogy Trailer: One More Cornetto Before The End By Russ Fischer/June 19, 2013 12:15 pm EST There’s a bit of new footage in this trailer for Edgar Wright’s The World’s End, but the focus is in the tacked-on bit at the beginning. That’s where it is made explicitly clear that the folks who made this film also made Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Now, most of you already know that — indeed, most of you know it well enough to have picked out half a dozen nods to those two films in the film’s first teaser trailer....

First Real Trailer For HBO’s ‘Veep’ Unveiled, Plus Another New Trailer For Lena Dunham And Judd Apatow’s ‘Girls’ By Angie Han/Feb. 28, 2012 1:30 pm EST Well, it’s about time. A couple of months ago, we got an amusing first teaser for HBO’s Veep, and last week saw the release of a short featurette from the set.

Lena Dunham’s ‘Archie’ Comic Book Coming In 2015 By Angie Han/March 3, 2014 2:00 pm EST Girls’ Adam Driver was the subject of some comic book rumors recently, as was his co-star Allison Williams.

Dunham has been set to pen a four-issue story arc for Archie Comics, with the first installment debuting sometime in 2015....
More ‘Frozen’ Easter Eggs Revealed: ‘Wreck It Ralph’ And Mickey Mouse By Germain Lussier/Dec. 12, 2013 5:00 am EST Disney’s latest family musical, Frozen, is in theaters now and quickly gaining a sterling reputation. Some are comparing it to the classic musicals of the 1990s such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King. Others say it’s better than any film Pixar has released in years. I say it’s probably somewhere in the middle, a delightful Disney animated film that has plenty to remember, but isn’t without an issue or two....
