On Huge Star Wars Episode 7 Spoilers And Leaked Information By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 2, 2014 9:30 am EST We love getting excited about movies. And part of that involves reading all the rumors and gossip behind the projects we’re looking forward to. We post about what we’re interested in. We have a lot of Star Wars posts on the site because some of us are very excited about the project and like speculating about the latest rumors and details....

Seth Rogen And Evan Goldberg To Make R-Rated Animated Film ‘Sausage Party’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 24, 2013 10:00 am EST Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg long ago proved they were talented screenwriters with films such as Superbad and Pineapple Express. This summer, they added “director” to their resume with This is the End. Now they’re taking those skills into a whole new area: animation. Rogen and Goldberg co-wrote and will co-produce what’s planned to be an R-rated animated film for Sony called Sausage Party....

Stream All Of Hans Zimmer’s ‘Man Of Steel’ Score By Russ Fischer/June 10, 2013 2:44 pm EST Zack Snyder’s Superman revival, Man of Steel, opens later this week, to launch what could well be the next phase of WB’s collaboration with DC Comics. We’ll have a review up this evening, but in the meantime you can listen to all of Hans Zimmer’s score for the film. We’ve heard tantalizing bits, but Spotify now has the whole score streaming....

Superhero Bits: Batman V Superman, Fantastic Four, Sin City 2, Aquaman, Groot, Wonder Woman By Germain Lussier/Aug. 15, 2014 10:30 am EST How should the Batman v Superman Comic Con teaser have ended? What is Michael B. Jordan saying now about Fantastic Four? Is Jason Momoa fed up with being asked about Aquaman? What extras are on the 25th anniversary Blu-ray of Batman? Did Olga Kurylenko read for the part of Wonder Woman?...

Vision Costume For ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Revealed [Updated] By Russ Fischer/Sept. 7, 2014 10:49 pm EST Below is your first real look at Vision, played by Paul Bettany, in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Like our first small look at the character, this is an artist’s depiction rather than a photo of the actor in costume. But it shows much of the detail you want to see. Red skin, green costume, yellow/white cape — all there....

VOTD: Seth Rogen Speaks To U.S. Senate About Alzheimer’s Disease By Germain Lussier/Feb. 27, 2014 7:45 am EST Seth Rogen is already considered one of the coolest, most down to Earth actors in Hollywood. On Wednesday he got more serious. Rogen spoke to a United States Senate committee Wednesday about his experiences with Alzheimer’s Disease and the need for further research. Don’t worry, though. While it’s most certainly a serious topic and Rogen treats it as such, there’s plenty of the actor’s humor peppered throughout....

Wes Craven’s New Killer Revealed By Brendon Connelly/Dec. 20, 2009 4:00 pm EST Wes Craven’s next thriller, and the first that he’s written himself since New Nightmare, has settled on the title My Soul to Take. I first heard of it by the name of Bug, then it was 25/8 – as in 24/7 but one louder. After the break, there’s a picture of the film’s evil killer and, apparently, this image is something of a spoiler....

‘Ginger & Rosa’ Trailer: Elle Fanning And Alice Englert Deal With Love, Family, Friendship, And The Cuban Missile Crisis By Angie Han/Jan. 3, 2013 5:29 pm EST Not all child actors transition easily into more grown-up roles, but Elle Fanning looks like an exception to the rule. The younger Fanning sister has been acting since her toddler years, and in recent years has been a standout presence in films like Somewhere, Super 8, and We Bought a Zoo....

‘Hercules: The Legend Begins’ Trailer: The One With Kellan Lutz By Angie Han/Oct. 14, 2013 10:30 am EST It can’t be easy for an up-and-coming star to go up against a huge star like The Rock under even the best of circumstances, and I’m not sure Hercules: The Legend Begins counts as “the best of circumstances.” To be fair, we haven’t seen footage for Brett Ratner and Dwayne Johnson’s Hercules just yet, so it’s possible that it’s no better than this competing version by Renny Harlin and Kellan Lutz....

‘Mr. Peabody & Sherman’ Trailer And Clip: The Most Interesting Dog In The World By Angie Han/Jan. 15, 2014 2:00 pm EST It’s probably just a matter of time before someone gets the idea to make an NBC sitcom based on Dos Equis’ The Most Interesting Man in the World, but until then we’ll have Mr. Peabody & Sherman. Sherman (voiced by Max Charles), the human half of the classic cartoon duo, is an ordinary kid, but Mr....

‘Penny Dreadful’ Trailer: Blood, Monsters, And Eva Green By Russ Fischer/Feb. 17, 2014 1:34 pm EST Penny Dreadful is the new show from Showtime and Sam Mendes, a Victorian-age horror tale that is a bit like an alternate League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, basically a collection of several famous pulp characters that lie in the public domain. It features Dorian Gray, Frankenstein’s monster, players from Dracula, and Eva Green. (The actress is not in the public domain, to be clear....

‘Pompeii’ Teaser Trailer: Paul W.S. Anderson Blends ‘Titanic’ And ‘Gladiator’ With ‘Volcano’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 21, 2013 4:40 pm EST The mother of all volcano disasters is the destruction of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius, and that is the subject of Paul W.S. Anderson’s latest film. It’s called Pompeii and it stars Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones) as a slave who must save his love (Emily Browning) during the tragedy. The film will be out February 21, and the first trailer has just been released....

‘Real Steel’ Viral Site Reveals Two New Clips By Germain Lussier/March 18, 2011 3:30 pm EST Call me crazy (and you have) but I’m really looking forward to Shawn Levy’s robot-boxing action film Real Steel starring Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly and Anthony Mackie. Ever since DreamWorks released the first teaser trailer, I’ve been uncharacteristically excited for this film, which follows a retired fighter on the rise in the new world of robot boxing....

‘Sightseers’ Trailer: A Twisted Country Holiday From ‘Kill List’ Director Ben Wheatley And Exec Producer Edgar Wright By Angie Han/Aug. 28, 2012 10:10 am EST Edgar Wright hasn’t directed a feature since 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but that doesn’t mean he’s stopped bringing us films over the past couple of years. He exec produced last year’s Attack the Block, which proved to be one of the most enjoyable gems from last year’s crop of summer entertainments....

‘The Raid 2: Berandal’ Mosaic Poster By Russ Fischer/Feb. 19, 2014 5:30 am EST If you’re waiting to see more of The Raid 2: Berandal before it opens in March, the new mosaic poster for the film, designed for the film’s Indonesian release, has a lot of info pulled together into one image. Check out the full one-sheet below. I saw the film again last week — the same cut that played at Sundance — and found that my opinion of it hadn’t wavered at all....

‘Wolf Creek 2’ Trailer: “You’re Nothin’ But Foreign Vermin” By Russ Fischer/Oct. 22, 2013 11:00 am EST I was surprised to see Wolf Creek 2 on the schedule for the Venice Film Festival last month, and more surprised to see it get pretty enthusiastic reviews at the fest. Probably shouldn’t have been; here writer/director Greg McLean returns to the scenario he crafted for the original film — a cannibalistic psycho menaces wanderers in the Australian outback — but with a slightly tweaked emphasis....

A Cast Of Kings Bonus Ep. - Spoilers Galore (GUEST: Myles McNutt From Cultural Learnings) By David Chen/May 27, 2013 4:35 pm EST Joanna is joined by TV critic Myles McNutt for a very special SPOILER episode of A Cast Of Kings. If there is anything you’re worried about having spoiled, do yourself a favor and skip this episode. We’ve got book spoilers and we’ve got show spoilers. If you’re only partway through the books, this is not the episode for you....

By Angie Han/Sept. 16, 2014 5:30 am EST The marriage unravels as they travel the country together, but when they stop at one small seaside town she finds herself “caught in au undertow of passion and rejuvenation,” as EW puts it. The couple befriend some of the locals, including a bar/café owner (Niels Arestrup, pictured above) and a hotelier (Richard Bohringer). Mélanie Laurent also stars. Other key crew members include editor Patricia Rommel (The Lives of Others), production designer Jon Hutman (Unbroken), costume designer Ellen Mirojnick (Cinemax’s The Knick), and Christian Berger (The White Ribbon)....

Clive Owen Will Try His Hand At Comedy In ‘King Of The Castle’, From ‘The Sitter’ And ‘Baywatch’ Writers By Angie Han/Oct. 25, 2012 11:30 am EST There comes a time in every comedic actor’s career when he feels the need to “prove” himself by tackling more serious roles, but the pigeonholing occasionally works in reverse as well. Sometimes, an actor is so associated with heavier parts that the most surprising thing he can do is sign up for something really goofy....

Cool Stuff: ‘Alternate Endings’ Art Show At Bottleneck Gallery In Brooklyn, NY By Germain Lussier/Dec. 10, 2012 3:00 pm EST Movies, in general, have happy endings. The hero triumphs over adversity and the audience leaves the theater feeling good. But what if the bad guy won? What if the bomb went off? While the happy ending dominates cinema, some of the best movies of all time have taken the ‘dark ending’ route, and now some that did not have been reimagined with new conclusions....
