Please leave your thoughts in the comments below. Disney has released a new trailer for Disney’s The Lone Ranger.

‘Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans Of My Little Pony’ Trailer: This Is Not An April Fools Joke By Germain Lussier/April 1, 2013 4:30 pm EST Many of us spend an excessive time on the Internet and, in that time, we’re exposed to new things. One of those is the movement of men who call themselves “Bronies” — they’re adult male fans of the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic....

“Darkness” Is Holding Up ‘Bill & Ted 3’, Says Keanu Reeves By Angie Han/Sept. 13, 2013 2:15 pm EST Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have been talking about a third Bill & Ted for years, and over the past few years we’ve watched the project slowly move ahead. Winter announced that the script was completed in 2011, and Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) was hired to direct in 2012. But over a year later, production still hasn’t gotten underway, and now Reeves has an explanation as to why....

‘Delivery Man’ Trailer: Vince Vaughn Is Father Of Many, Guardian Angel For Some By Angie Han/July 2, 2013 11:30 am EST Many a movie has centered on a man learning he has a kid he knew nothing about. Far fewer have followed what happens when a guy discovers he has 533 kids he’s never met. Directed by Ken Scott based on his own French-Canadian comedy, Delivery Man stars Vince Vaughn as aimless 40something David Wozniak, who gets the unexpected news that he’s fathered 533 kids thanks to a mix-up at the clinic years ago....

‘I Declare War’ Trailer And Poster By Russ Fischer/July 15, 2013 11:00 am EST I Declare War is a good indie about kids whose game of “war,” played in the forest near their home, turns very serious. Perhaps not quite as serious as the trailer would suggest — while kids are running around with real guns in their hands this is no Red Dawn scenario. Rather, the film lets us see what is in the head of each kid as they fight in the game....

‘Need For Speed’ Super Bowl “Pulse” Spot And Extended TV Trailer By Russ Fischer/Feb. 2, 2014 3:55 pm EST The “pulse” TV spot for Need for Speed that aired during the Super Bowl is all about adrenaline and action — it’s cars moving fast, and tight shots on the intense expressions of the people within. And it’s pretty effective! Check out that short spot, below; we’ve also got an extended trailer, with an introduction from Aaron Paul....

‘Rounders’ And ‘Shakespeare In Love’ Sequels Developing As Weinsteins Regain Control Of Miramax Library By Germain Lussier/Dec. 16, 2013 8:42 am EST The once-independent Miramax catalog is getting a new school Hollywood makeover. Founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who left the company in 2005 and formed The Weinstein Company, just signed a deal to regain creative control over the Miramax library. Colony Capital purchased it from Disney in 2010, for $660 million....

‘Star Wars Rebels’ Short Film “Entanglement”: Zeb Vs. Stormtroopers By Russ Fischer/Aug. 25, 2014 8:00 am EST Update from Editor Peter Sciretta: Disney has released the third short film in its entirety online. The new Star Wars Rebels short film “Entanglement” follows Zeb, who “fails to meet with Kanan at a specified rendezvous point and instead finds himself joyfully battling many, many stormtroopers.” Watch the Star Wars Rebels Zeb short film now embedded after the jump....

‘The Prince’ Trailer: Bruce Willis And Jason Patric Play Out Their Own Version Of ‘Taken’ By Russ Fischer/June 25, 2014 10:00 am EST Every once in a while a trailer is just demoralizing. Take The Prince, for example. There’s Bruce Willis, looking at first like he might be committing to his role. Jason Patrick shows up — often a good sign — but the plot reveals itself to be another knock-off of Taken....

‘The Railway Man’ Trailer: Colin Firth Confronts His Past In WWII Drama By Angie Han/Sept. 10, 2013 7:38 am EST Almost three years after he nabbed an Oscar for The King’s Speech, Colin Firth is revisiting World War II from a very different perspective. Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky (Burning Man), The Railway Man tells the true story of veteran Eric Lomax (Firth), who was held as a prisoner by the Japanese during the war....

‘Transformers 5’ Tentatively Scheduled For 2017 By Germain Lussier/April 5, 2014 5:23 pm EST Leaked licensing materials suggest Paramount and Hasbro are already planning a fifth Transformers movie. While nothing is official, it makes perfect sense. Three years have passed between 2011’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon and this year’s Transformers: Age of Extinction. Reviews on the former were pretty brutal, as they have been for most of the films in the franchise, but that hasn’t stopped audiences from showing up....

‘True Detective’ Season 2 Casting Rumors Are All BS, Says Series Creator By Angie Han/June 12, 2014 2:30 pm EST Rumors have been flying fast and heavy about who might lead True Detective Season 2, but series creator Nic Pizzolatto claims they’re all nonsense. “Literally, not a single rumour about casting that has been printed anywhere has any truth to it whatsoever,” he said firmly. Whatever the new season ends up looking like, though, you should try to enjoy it while you can....

Behind The Scenes: ‘The Hobbit’ VFX Reel, ‘Looper’s Futuristic Cities, ‘Brave’ Director’s Commentary, Making Of ‘Life Of Pi’ By Angie Han/Feb. 15, 2013 3:48 pm EST In a weird way, special effects are never less noticeable than when they’re done really well. The best artists are able to blend the real and the unreal so seamlessly that it’s all but impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. So it’s cool to get a chance to see the painstaking labor that goes into enhancing these films, as we do in two new VFX reels for Looper and The Hobbit....

First Look: Set Photos From ‘Sherlock Holmes 2’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 18, 2010 1:00 pm EST NO PHOTO Cameras have started rolling on Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes 2. Want proof? How about photos from the set of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, together again, as Sherlock and Watson. The sequel, which also stars Noomi Rapace, Jared Harris and Stephen Fry, is scheduled for release December 16, 2011. Check out the photos after the jump....

Guillermo Del Toro Says Warner Bros. Planning “Entire DC Universe” By Germain Lussier/Nov. 12, 2013 9:30 am EST At the movies, Marvel is currently kicking DC’s ass. Yes Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight movies were fantastic. Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel was a very strong start to the development of a potentially bigger world. But Marvel is already in Phase 2 of a cinematic universe, is setting up Phase 3, has a TV show that ties in on the air, with four more shows announced....

Is This Our First Look At The History Of Brad Bird’s ‘Tomorrowland?’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 4, 2014 10:26 am EST Since last year’s D23 Expo, director Brad Bird has been very quiet about his sci-fi Disney fantasy, Tomorrowland. The film stars George Clooney, was co-written by Damon Lindelof, and has been as secretive about its production as that other Disney sci-fi movie. Those flood gates are ready to open though as Tomorrowland will have presentations in the coming months at New York Comic-Con and Destination D....

LOL: Kate Mara And Ellen Page Are ‘Tiny Detectives’ In ‘True Detective’ Spoof By Angie Han/Sept. 25, 2014 12:15 pm EST As True Detective zeroes in on a female lead, Funny or Die is here to show HBO what they could do with two female leads. Specifically, two extremely small female leads played by Kate Mara and Ellen Page. In the True Detective parody Tiny Detectives, Mara and Page prove to be every bit as tough, determined, and grizzled as Rust Cohle and Marty Hart ever were....

LOL: Volkswagen Super Bowl Teaser ‘The Bark Side’ Combines Internet’s Two Favorite Things By Angie Han/Jan. 19, 2012 1:00 pm EST If you ask me, Volkswagen’s “The Force” was hands-down the best commercial of Super Bowl 2011. And seeing as the ad topped YouTube’s list of the most-watched ads of 2011 as well as AdWeek’s list of the best commercials of the year, I suspect I’m not the only one who thought so....

Morgan Spurlock Will Direct A One Direction Concert Film By Russ Fischer/Nov. 13, 2012 3:09 pm EST I can’t claim to know anything about the boy band One Direction, though a quick and easy search tells me they’re kids from England and Ireland who have been releasing records for two years after being discovered via the show The X Factor, and whose management has done a pretty good job of selling....
