Is there a possibility X-Men: Days of Future Past could be in HFR? Did footage from Thor: The Dark World screen somewhere? Did Nightwing get his own YouTube series?...

Superman’s Strength, Flight And Speed Detailed In ‘Man Of Steel’ Featurettes By Germain Lussier/May 14, 2013 9:24 am EST One of the reasons filmmakers have had problems turning Superman into a believable film character is he’s simply too awesome. He’s can fly, he’s the strongest, fastest person on the plant (most of the time), and is impervious to almost everything. Who could possibly relate to a being so super? In Zack Snyder’s upcoming Man of Steel, they’ve embraced those traits and brought Superman down to Earth by tackling his emotions and insecurities....

The Hills Have Eyes 2 Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 10, 2007 6:10 am EST Check out the new trailer at Yahoo! Movies. The sequel to the 2006 remake of the 1977 Wes Craven film, follows a group of National Guard trainees who find themselves battling against the vicious group of mutants during their last day of training in the desert.

Still, that was just one of many, many things that happened to many, many characters on Game of Thrones last season. Even the most devoted fan could be forgiven for losing track of a detail or two. That’s where this Game of Thrones Season 3 recap video comes in....

Watch Over 15 Minutes Of Behind-The-Scenes Footage From ‘Skyfall’ By Angie Han/Oct. 16, 2012 5:27 pm EST You’ve probably noticed by now that Sam Mendes’ Skyfall is building some seriously amazing buzz, with ecstatic praise heaped on everything from the cinematography and action choreography to the acting and storytelling. On the plus side, that makes the film’s impending release that much more exciting. On the not-so-plus side, all that hype just makes November 9 (or October 26 for you lucky Brits) seem that much farther away....

Superman’ Casts Oscar Winner And Two Superhero Alums By Germain Lussier/April 3, 2014 10:21 am EST Briefly: Three new actors have been added to the cast of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel sequel, tentatively titled Batman vs. Superman. They are Oscar winner Holly Hunter, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and 300: Rise of an Empire player Callan Mulvey and Tao Okamoto, Logan’s love interest in The Wolverine.

‘Blue Jasmine’ Trailer: Cate Blanchett’s Breakdown By Russ Fischer/June 7, 2013 10:15 am EST How many career resurgences has Woody Allen had at this point? I’ve lost track, but we’re square in the middle of one now, kicked off with the career-topping success of his 2011 release Midnight in Paris. His new film, Blue Jasmine, stars Cate Blanchett as “a New York housewife struggling through a life crisis.” That sounds middling to dire until you see what Blanchett is doing with it — she’s entitled and insufferable, but ragged and clearly, if comically, worn down to a nub....

‘Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray’ Out September 24 By Germain Lussier/July 2, 2013 2:41 pm EST Last week, images of this set leaked and we asked the question “Is This The ‘Dark Knight’ Trilogy Ultimate Collectors Edition Blu-ray Box Set?” The answer turns out to be…kind of. The official set, seen above, has now been revealed and it shares many features with last week’s images along with a few treats all its own....

‘Everly’ Review: Salma Hayek Goes For The Full ‘Die Hard’ [Fantastic Fest 2014] By Germain Lussier/Sept. 23, 2014 4:00 pm EST With Everly, director Joe Lynch answers the age old question, just how much action can you stage in a single room?

Her mission is to stay alive over the next few hours in hopes she can save her family....

‘Finding Dory’ Reunites Two Favorites From ‘The Wire’ By Angie Han/Sept. 11, 2014 10:30 am EST Two of your favorite characters from The Wire are reuniting for a very different kind of project. Dominic West and Idris Elba have been added to the voice cast of Finding Dory, Pixar’s sequel to the 2003 hit Finding Nemo. Bet that’s the last place you ever expected to see McNulty and Stringer Bell cross paths again....

‘Halt And Catch Fire’ Renewed For Season 2 By Germain Lussier/Aug. 20, 2014 8:45 am EST In a somewhat surprising move, AMC just renewed the show Halt and Catch Fire. The first season averaged 1.3 million viewers over its first 10 episodes, which isn’t great, but it hit a specific adult demographic that the channel liked. And I’m sure the fact its male stars Lee Pace and Scoot McNairy are both becoming major stars on the big screen (Guardians of the Galaxy for Pace, Batman v Superman for McNairy) doesn’t hurt....

‘Ninja Kids!!!’ Trailer - ‘13 Assassins’ Director Takashi Miike Gets Goofy By Angie Han/June 2, 2011 10:00 am EST After some heavier recent works — including 13 Assassins and Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai, both of which are currently making their rounds in the festival circuit — director Takashi Miike is displaying a much lighter side side in his latest film, Ninja Kids!!! The bright, bubbly kids’ flick is based on the long-running anime series Nintama Rantaro, which in turn was adapted from an even longer-running manga titled Rakudai Ninja Rantaro....

‘Out Of The Furnace’ TV Spot: You Don’t Want To Mess With Woody Harrelson By Angie Han/Nov. 14, 2013 9:30 am EST Woody Harrelson’s last feature role was as a time-traveling turkey in the animated family flick Free Birds, but don’t let that trick you into thinking he’s lost his edge. The new TV spot for Scott Cooper’s Out of the Furnace has arrived, and he’s full-on terrifying in it....

Harrison Ford’s leg injury appears to be almost fully healed and after a two week hiatus, Star Wars Episode VII will resume shooting later this month. Read more about the Star Wars 7 filming schedule below....

‘The Dark Knight Rises:’ More On-Set Photos And Video Reveal A Big Battle Scene By Russ Fischer/Aug. 1, 2011 7:44 am EST It’s in the title: this is spoiler territory. Not long ago we posted some on-set snaps and video from the Pittsburgh set of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. Those showed the full outfit worn by Bane (Tom Hardy) and revealed the new Tumbler. Now we’ve got much higher-resolution images of another scene being shot....

‘Vampire Academy’ Trailer: Kicking Butt, Taking Names, And Sucking Blood By Angie Han/Nov. 22, 2013 3:00 pm EST Paranormal YA characters tend to be a pretty mopey lot, whether they’re pining after sparkly vampire boyfriends or stressing over whether they’ll use their witchy powers for good or evil. But the tough, sarcastic leads of Vampire Academy look like a welcome exception. Rose (Zoey Deutch) is a snarky ass-kicker in the Buffy Summers mold, though she protects bloodsuckers instead of fighting them; her charge and BFF is Lissa (Lucy Fry) is a vampire princess whose royal lineage doesn’t stop her from hating high school....

After Oscars, Senate Calls Off ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Investigation By Angie Han/Feb. 26, 2013 11:30 am EST Is the U.S. Senate secretly working for Team Affleck? Certainly not, but they couldn’t have helped Argo more if they’d tried. Heading into prestige pic season, Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty looked like a strong contender for several top prizes. Then came the controversies over the film’s inaccuracies and its portrayal of torture, culminating in a formal investigation by the U....
