‘The Frozen Ground’ Trailer: Nicolas Cage Enlists Vanessa Hudgens To Track A Predator By Russ Fischer/June 7, 2013 6:17 pm EST The last time we saw anything from The Frozen Ground, in which Nicolas Cage plays a detective on the trail of a serial killer played by John Cusack, it was an artless sales trailer that didn’t do the film any favors. Made it look like a direct to DVD throwaway, in fact....
‘The Walking Dead’ Gets Another Season, Loses Another Showrunner By Angie Han/Dec. 21, 2012 12:00 pm EST After a debut that garnered AMC’s highest-ever ratings for a pilot, The Walking Dead has only grown more popular over the past couple of years.

First Look: Josh Brolin As George W. Bush In Oliver Stone’s W. By Peter Sciretta/May 8, 2008 10:00 am EST Update: We’ve updated this story with a new photo. When I first heard that Josh Brolin was cast as George W. Bush in Oliver Stone’s new film W., I was confused.

First Look: Liam Neeson Goes On The Run In ‘Taken 3’ AKA ‘Tak3n’ By Angie Han/Sept. 23, 2014 8:30 am EST Liam Neeson has gone on record saying he “can’t see” making another Taken after Taken 2. But apparently a hefty paycheck has gone a long way toward correcting his vision, because that’s definitely Neeson back in action again in the first images from Taken 3. To be fair, it seems to be the “taken” part of the movie that Neeson took issue with, and Taken 3 has no taking....

Jonathan Demme Lines Up Family Dramedy ‘Old Fires’ By Angie Han/Oct. 25, 2012 10:00 am EST Over the course of his four-decade career, Jonathan Demme has demonstrated an impressive ability to switch between a wide range of genres — from the 1974 women-in-prison classic Caged Heat to the ’90s classics The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia to the 2008 indie hit Rachel Getting Married. And he’s continued to build a diverse slate over the past few years, bouncing between adaptations of Stephen King and Dave Eggers, episodes of HBO’s Enlightened, and the low-budget Wally and Andre Shoot Ibsen....

Rumor: Is Warner Bros. Scrapping Will Beall’s ‘Justice League’ Script? By Angie Han/Feb. 7, 2013 12:30 pm EST On paper, a Justice League movie sounds like a fantastic idea. The Marvel Cinematic universe proved that a cohesive superhero universe could earn high critical praise and staggering box office grosses, and the core members of the Justice League are arguably even more famous and beloved than those who make up the Avengers....

VOTD: 47 Minutes Of Behind The Scenes Footage From ‘Ghostbusters 2’ By Peter Sciretta/May 30, 2011 7:00 am EST Studio produced EPK featurettes usually suck. From time to time, we post B-roll footage on the site (usually in Page 2) because I love watching the making of a movie in the unedited form. I’ve always loved the cinema verite-style film documentaries, but they’re rare. Special effects artist William Forsche has posted 47-minutes of fly on the wall behind the scenes footage from the set of Ghostbusters 2....
