Captain Phillips’ Crew Questions Movie’s Authenticity By Russ Fischer/Oct. 15, 2013 3:15 pm EST At this point, there probably aren’t many people who expect a feature film to be a 100% accurate depiction of events, even when it proclaims that it is based on a true story. The idea of dramatic license is well-understood, but there’s always a related question: when does dramatic license steer a project too far away from reality?...
Edward James Olmos And Colin Hanks Do Creepy In ‘Dexter’ Season 6 Behind-The-Scenes Video And Gallery By Angie Han/Aug. 9, 2011 1:00 pm EST Thanks to an continuous stream of teasers, trailers, and casting updates, we already have some idea of what we can look forward to from the new season of Dexter.

First ‘Hateful Eight’ Poster From Quentin Tarantino Confirms 2015 Release By Angie Han/July 30, 2014 8:45 am EST The last eight months have been an awfully bumpy ride for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. First it was leaked, then cancelled, then revived for a live reading. Then over the weekend Tarantino confirmed the movie was back on for good, and now the first Hateful Eight poster has arrived to add that the film is coming in 2015....
First Look: Stephen Lang In ‘Conan The Barbarian’ By Russ Fischer/March 18, 2011 12:30 pm EST [No photo] So…there are proto-Klingons in Conan the Barbarian? We’ve seen some on-set shots of the new Conan as it was shooting under the direction of Marcus Nispel, and there have been some promo shots featuring Jason Momoa as Conan, and that teaser trailer that refused to show very much at all. Now here’s your first look at Avatar’s Stephen Lang in full costume and makeup as Conan villain Khalar Zym....
Henry Cavill And Amy Adams Stand Proud In New ‘Man Of Steel’ Still By Germain Lussier/March 12, 2013 4:30 pm EST When Superman himself is looking up in the sky, you know it’s probably at something better than a bird or a plane. In this case, it’s a brand new still from the highly anticipated reboot, Man of Steel directed by Zack Snyder. Here the Man of Steel (Henry Cavill) stands alongside Lois Lane (Amy Adams) in an image that was used on the cover of Total Film....
J.J. Abrams Talks ‘Star Wars Episode VII:’ “There Are Infinitely More Questions Than Answers Right Now” By Germain Lussier/March 23, 2013 6:32 pm EST In the coming months J.J. Abrams is going to have a very interesting perspective on the eternal geek debate of Star Trek vs. Star Wars. He is (figuratively) helming both the U.S.S. Enterprise in this year’s Star Trek Into Darkness and an X-Wing Fighter (or something) in Star Wars Episode VII....
Joe Cornish To Direct MI6 Thriller ‘Section 6’ By Angie Han/March 19, 2014 5:30 am EST Joe Cornish made quite a splash in 2011 with his debut directorial effort Attack the Block. And he’s kept busy since, co-writing Ant-Man and The Adventures of Tintin with Edgar Wright. But it’s only now that he’s getting around to making a decision on his next directing gig. Universal has tapped Cornish to direct Section 6, a Black List script about the formation of British intelligence agency MI6....
Jonathan Liebesman’s ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Alters Shredder’s Origins By Angie Han/July 2, 2013 3:20 pm EST Last week’s confirmation that William Fichtner would play Shredder in Jonathan Liebesman’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot didn’t come as much of a shock. His role was described in the initial casting report as an “iconic” one from the Turtles universe, and aside from the Turtles themselves, they don’t get much more iconic than Shredder....
Martin Scorsese Planning Film About The Ramones By Russ Fischer/Aug. 27, 2014 6:00 pm EST Just click play and listen to this while you read the story.The Ramones are one of the most influential rock bands to ever bash out a three-chord gem, but their use in film has been — let’s face it — pretty mediocre. I’ve always wanted to see someone cut some really smashing sequences to Ramones songs, but that has been a rare event....
New ‘Man Of Steel’ Poster Paints Superman As The Villain By Germain Lussier/Dec. 3, 2012 11:22 am EST The fact that Christopher Nolan helped craft the story for Man of Steel has never been more evident than in the latest poster, just revealed on Facebook. His Dark Knight films famously turned Batman into a public villain and it seems Zack Snyder’s Superman film, scheduled for release June 14, could do the same....
New ‘The Conjuring’ Trailer: The Real Family Speaks By Russ Fischer/June 27, 2013 12:46 pm EST There’s a great bit of stage banter from Tom Waits where he jokes about someone leaning over during a movie to insist “you know, this is based on a true story.” The question from Waits is: does that really make the film any better? I’ve seen James Wan’s new film, The Conjuring, and despite the fact that the film begins with a card that says it is based on a true story, I assumed it was one of those Texas Chainsaw Massacre things — a gentle little lie to give the story a bit of weight....
Nicolas Cage Leaves Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler; Enter Mickey Rourke By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 12, 2007 1:30 am EST Some believe in Harvey Dent, but I believe in Darren Aronofsky. Requiem for a Dream is one of my favorite films of all time. The Fountain was on my top ten list from last year. But the filmmaker doesn’t have good luck with actors. Brad Pitt notoriously left Aronofsky hanging high and dry on The Fountain just days before filming was to begin because he “lost faith in the project”....

Peter Jackson Would Like Guillermo Del Toro To Direct ‘Skull Island’ By Angie Han/July 31, 2014 4:00 pm EST During Legendary’s confusing Skull Island announcement at Comic-Con, a rumor went around that Guillermo del Toro was involved with the project. While that doesn’t really seem to be the case — the latest word is Joe Cornish has been offered the gig — there are at least a couple of guys who wouldn’t mind if it were....
Ridley Scott’s ‘Exodus’ Coming In 2014; Rik Barnett Rumored For ‘Prometheus 2’ By Angie Han/May 21, 2013 7:00 am EST That doesn’t leave Scott with a whole lot of room to do much else before jumping into Exodus from The Counselor. It’s probably a safe bet, then, that Prometheus 2 won’t land before 2015 or so. But that’s not stopping a casting rumor concerning Brit actor Rik Barnett (Rebels Without a Clue) from making the rounds....
Rumor: The Millennium Falcon Will Play A Role In ‘Star Wars Episode VII’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 11, 2013 4:00 pm EST Briefly: She’s the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy and, according to the latest rumor, she’s might soon be one of the oldest too.

And still, the best part of the movie was the one we all underestimated....

Steven Spielberg’s Next Film Is ‘American Sniper’ Starring Bradley Cooper By Russ Fischer/May 2, 2013 12:26 pm EST There was a point where Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell and star Bradley Cooper might have reunited to adapt the book American Sniper, which is the autobiography of Chris Kyle, who has the most recorded kills of any sniper in US military history. (As a civilian, Kyle was shot and killed this past February by another veteran at a Texas shooting range....
