Shane Black Says Chinese Cut Of ‘Iron Man 3’ Will Have An “Interesting Surprise” By Peter Sciretta/April 24, 2013 10:00 am EST The Chinese version of Iron Man 3 will contain new footage that won’t be seen in US theaters; that much we knew.

Spider-man Parkour Video And here is a video showing how all of these stunts were created — a making of video which is almost equally impressive seeing how they shot some of the sequences using a remote control drone camera. Spider-man Parkour Making Of Video By Peter Sciretta/May 2, 2014 11:00 am EST Stuntman and athlete Ronnie Shalvis recorded a video of himself doing parkour stunts in an The Amazing Spider-man costume....

‘Exists’ Trailer: ‘Blair Witch’ Director’s Bigfoot Found Footage Movie By Angie Han/Aug. 26, 2014 2:00 pm EST 1999’s The Blair Witch Project wasn’t the first film ever to utilize the found-footage format, but it definitely went a long way toward popularizing it. Since then we’ve had more found-footage horror movies can we can count, and it’s only very recently that the trend has shown any sign of slowing down. All of which means that any film in the format released today is gonna have to work a bit harder to feel fresh....

‘Holy Motors’ US Trailer: Leos Carax’s Visceral Look At Human Performance By Germain Lussier/Oct. 19, 2012 6:00 pm EST Love it or hate it, Holy Motors is a movie that gets people talking. Already a darling on the festival circuit, Leos Carax’s first feature film in over a decade follows a man played by Denis Lavant who travels in a limo going from place to place and inhabiting different characters. The connective tissue is minor, each role is radically different, some are all together disturbing, and in the end you’ll be scratching your head about what it all means more than you did at The Master....

‘Police Story 2013’ Trailer: Jackie Chan Desperately Tries To Police Mainland China By Russ Fischer/Dec. 19, 2013 3:30 pm EST Sylvester Stallone has wanted Jackie Chan for an Expendables film, but I’m pretty happy that Chan has resisted, and made Police Story 2013 instead of The Expendables 3. OK, I haven’t actually seen this new Police Story film yet, but the first trailer was pleasantly intense, and this new look at the movie is also pretty dark and dank, with hints of great action....

We’ll start to find out on January 19 when the BBC show Sherlock returns for its third season on PBS. The show will run back to back with Downton Abbey.

‘The Wolverine’ CinemaConTrailer: The Silver Samurai Strikes By Russ Fischer/May 1, 2013 10:03 am EST James Mangold’s take on Marvel’s popular character hits later this summer, in July, and we’ll probably see at least one more meaty trailer before the opening date. But for now, the one-minute trailer for The Wolverine that premiered at CinemaCon is now online, and you can watch it below. (This is most of the CinemaCon reel, at least — attendees also saw a bit of the train fight sequence, which isn’t here, and I believe a couple other minor bits, too....

How ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Inspired The Shawarma Joke In ‘The Avengers’ By Angie Han/Oct. 11, 2012 7:00 am EST Joss Whedon’s The Avengers was chock full of dazzling scenes, but one of the most memorable was a seemingly offhanded remark about, of all things, shawarma. (If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, be warned that spoilers follow from here on out.) But it seems the team’s craving for grilled meat wasn’t just about the characters working up an appetite after fighting extraterrestrial evil all day....

Legendary Buys Marcus Sakey’s ‘X-Men’-Esque Novel ‘Brilliance’; ‘Oz The Great And Powerful’ Producers Sign On By Angie Han/March 13, 2013 1:30 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. In all seriousness, the idea of a world populated with superpowered folks isn’t unique to X-Men, and the comparison may be little more than marketing buzz. If Sakey and the filmmakers are able to take the premise in a new direction, Brilliance could become a fresh counterpoint to the endless stream of Marvel and DC films on the docket....
