Page 2: BTTF, Breaking Bad, Cosmos, Game Of Thrones, Harry Potter, George Takei, Star Wars By Peter Sciretta/June 20, 2014 2:00 pm EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film.

Nevertheless, Steven Soderbergh assures fans that not only is the film still making active progress, it’s actually “getting pretty far along” now with a “really hilarious” concept....

Watch The Final ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/June 18, 2014 9:10 pm EST And then things just explode, and that war that Caesar talks about in his steadily-improving speech just explodes. A lot of the footage here is stuff we’ve seen before, but that’s OK; it’s good to save the best stuff for the final film. And Matt Reeves’ sequel to the surprise hit from 2011 looks like it firmly takes the reins of the story in a way that could be very satisfying for Apes fans, indeed....

‘Inherent Vice’ Set For December 2014 Release By Russ Fischer/Feb. 25, 2014 1:15 pm EST Briefly: Mark your calendars: Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel Inherent Vice is now set to arrive on December 12 of this year. The film will likely premiere long before that, either at Cannes, or a festival like Venice or Toronto, but regardless, by Christmas you should have a chance to see the new PTA film, which also happens to be the first major adaptation of a Pynchon novel....

‘Jem’ Movie Will Come Before ‘G.I. Joe 3’ Says Jon M. Chu By Germain Lussier/March 21, 2014 10:15 am EST Thursday’s April Fools-esque revelation Jon M. Chu would direct a Jem and the Holograms movie with producer Jason Blum is 100% true. Teamed with Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun, the trio took to YouTube to announce the project and ask the public for crowdsourced ideas. It was a big deal for lots of fans of the “totally outrageous” Eighties cartoon....

‘John Dies At The End’ Red Band Trailer: A Cult Classic In The Making With All The Gory Trimmings By Germain Lussier/Dec. 18, 2012 1:10 pm EST There’s no denying that Don Coscarelli’s latest film, John Dies at the End, is destined to be a cult classic. It’s filled with the kind of off-beat, funny, violent and weird stuff that plays like gangbusters at midnight screenings, or when seen with a bunch of friends at home....

‘Mood Indigo’ Trailer: Michel Gondry Unveils Another Dreamy Romance By Angie Han/Jan. 25, 2013 9:53 am EST Michel Gondry’s varied resume includes several documenatires, a superhero flick, and a scrappy urban drama, but he’s still best known for his most whimsical, even dreamlike creations. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is rightly hailed as a classic, and while Be Kind Rewind and The Science of Sleep aren’t at that level, they had a sweet, oddball charm that felt uniquely Gondrian....

By Angie Han/Dec. 9, 2013 10:48 am EST Spidey isn’t just returning to the big screen next year, he’s returning to the biggest screens in the world. Sony announced today that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be released internationally in IMAX 3D next year, just as the previous film was. But before he lands on screens around the world, he’s got plans to swing by his hometown. As the “Official Super Hero of Times Square 2014” (whatever that is), Spider-Man will drop in on the annual ball drop in New York City, bringing some new footage along with him....

‘The Haunting In Connecticut 2: Ghosts Of Georgia’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/Dec. 17, 2012 4:00 am EST Here’s where branding gets counter-productive: the 2009 film The Haunting in Connecticut has spawned a sequel. But the new film takes place in rural Georgia, and the title awkwardly reflects that: The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. As long as the word “haunting” is prominent, I guess it doesn’t really matter where or why the supernatural infestation is taking place....

‘Wire’ Actors Idris Elba And Michael K. Williams Join Cary Fukunaga And Spike Lee Movies By Germain Lussier/Aug. 21, 2013 2:30 pm EST UPDATE: Lee’s film is reportedly called Da Blood Of Jesus.

Latest ‘Man Of Steel’ Rumor Claims Another Villain Appears To Menace Superman By Russ Fischer/March 29, 2013 11:53 am EST It’s not enough that Zack Snyder’s Superman revival, Man of Steel, features a spin on the Superman II villain Zod. Audiences want more, and given that there are expectations that Man of Steel will lead to another film in a similar vein, some fans figure that Snyder’s first Superman film will introduce another big bad around whom the next chapter could be built....

Marc Webb Discusses The ‘Sinister Six,’ Confirms Characters In ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Credits By Russ Fischer/Aug. 22, 2014 2:00 pm EST Does Sony have a plan for the Spider-Man film series? Of course they do! Well, actually… maybe? Any film series “plan” must involve an evolving set of decisions, but in the case of Spider-Man some of those decisions seem to contradict one another. The throughline of the two new films so far has involved Peter Parker’s parents, his father’s work at Oscorp, and Oscorp’s tendency to develop technology that is really great for evil....

Richard Linklater Hopes To Shoot ‘Dazed & Confused’ Sorta-Sequel This Fall; ‘Growing Up’ Due In 2014 By Angie Han/May 22, 2013 5:00 pm EST To steal a line from The Most Interesting Man in the World, Richard Linklater doesn’t always make sequels, but when he does, he makes some of the most vital sequels a film lover could ask for. One of those, Before Midnight, is about to slide into theaters this weekend with with almost unanimously positive reviews....

Ricky Gervais Wants To Make A Movie About ‘The Office’ Character David Brent By Angie Han/Aug. 22, 2013 6:00 am EST There are some major differences between the U.K. and U.S. TV industries. Like the fact that they call seasons “series” across the pond, or that said seasons / series tend to run fewer than ten episodes. But the desire to resurrect dead shows as movie sequels is apparently universal....
