See A ‘Maleficent’ IMAX Poster And Several Character One-Sheets By Russ Fischer/May 5, 2014 2:30 pm EST Disney is putting a lot of muscle behind its upcoming release Million Dollar Arm, but another Mouse House effort is also arriving soon, too. Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie as the evil sorceress from Sleeping Beauty, opens at the end of May. And despite the fact that we’ve seen many posters and a few trailers, it feels like this one is slipping into theaters more quietly than you’d expect from a Disney movie based on one of the company’s most popular films....

Spike Lee In Talks To Direct Music Industry Biopic ‘Spinning Gold’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 31, 2013 6:00 am EST Has the experience of making Oldboy led Spike Lee to consider a different sort of film project than he tended towards in the past? He’s now in early talks for a film that wouldn’t have ever seemed like a Spike Lee movie before. In late 2011, Justin Timberlake signed to star in Spinning Gold, which will tell the story of Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart....

Steven Spielberg Still Takes Responsibility For “Nuking The Fridge” In ‘Indiana Jones 4’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 23, 2013 9:30 am EST The idea, “nuking the fridge,” instantly became a punchline. It’s also another way to say “jumping the shark,” a Happy Days reference long synonymous with the moment a TV show or movie goes from good to bad. However, while Spielberg can say “nuking the fridge” was his idea, George Lucas says he’s lying....

Watch Some Zach Galifianakis Outtakes From ‘The Hangover Part III’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 9, 2013 11:30 am EST Todd Phillips’ The Hangover Part III hits theaters soon and… wait… it came out already? And I saw it? I literally have no memory of that. Are you sure? The Blu-ray is already out? Wow. Yes, The Hangover Part III did come out this summer and the Blu-ray is now in stores. It’s an odd, flat finale to the hugely popular comedy franchise, which may be part of the reason audiences didn’t embrace it like the first two....

‘Hector And The Search For Happiness’ Trailer: Simon Pegg Gets His Own ‘Walter Mitty’ By Angie Han/Feb. 6, 2014 6:30 am EST If Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty had been a little less daydream-y and a little more British, it probably would have looked a lot like Peter Chelsom’s Hector and the Search for Happiness. Both films center on middle-aged men who, unsatisfied by their dreary professional lives, decide to embark on whimsical adventures around the globe....

And others are so delighted by them that they’d willingly walk into the creepy locales portrayed in them. For those who fall into the latter category, Universal Studios Hollywood is building Insidious: Into the Further, a maze based on the hit thriller by James Wan....

‘Interstellar’ And ‘Transformers 4’ To Shoot In IMAX; Michael Bay Will Use New IMAX Camera For Native ‘T4’ 3D By Angie Han/April 15, 2013 9:13 pm EST Tons of films hit IMAX screens each year, but actually watching footage shot in IMAX remains a special experience. While regular 35mm film can be upconverted to fit the giant screens, they still can’t match native IMAX for crispness and quality. And Paramount and IMAX are hoping the moviegoing public have noticed....

‘Maleficent’ Japanese Trailer: Lurking In The Shadows By Angie Han/March 25, 2014 9:45 am EST The movie may be called Maleficent, but it’s really a spin on the classic Sleeping Beauty fable. And the new Maleficent Japanese trailer is all about Sleeping Beauty — both the character and the 1959 Disney movie about her. The promo establishes its connection to the earlier film right away, showing us clips of the animated film....

Martin Campbell was attached at one point, but for about five years, the idea has sat on a shelf picking up dust. Until today.
