So it’s been interesting but more than a little weird to look on over these past several months as each of them have gone on to tackle new, non-Potter parts....

‘Jupiter Ascending’ Trailer: The Wachowskis Send Channing Tatum And Mila Kunis Into Space By Russ Fischer/Dec. 9, 2013 4:38 pm EST The last film from Andy and Lana Wachowski, Cloud Atlas, ranged through time from centuries in our civilization’s past to thousands of years in the future. So, by comparison, the scope of their new film Jupiter Ascending, which merely flies from Chicago into deep space, seems almost restrained. But nothing else looks restrained in the new film, which sees Channing Tatum as a sort of hybrid animal-human hunter tracking down a woman on earth (Mila Kunis) who holds the key to galactic intrigue....

‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Trailer: Wolverine Assembles A Team By Angie Han/April 15, 2014 8:08 pm EST As usual, the video has mutant heroes battling mean humans, terrifying Sentinels, and their own inner angst across two different timelines. What’s different is that this particular trailer plays up Wolverine’s role in the whole thing. Though he doesn’t tend to be much of a team player, desperate times call for desperate measures, so this one has him running around the ’70s trying to get the gang together....

Coen Brothers Will ‘Hail Caesar’ For Their Next Film By Angie Han/May 16, 2014 3:45 pm EST If the plot of Inside Llewyn Davis didn’t break your heart, the soundtrack surely did. No wonder, then, that the Coens are now ready for some sunnier fare. Joel and Ethan Coen are reportedly gearing up for Hail Caesar, a comedy set in ’50s California. While this isn’t the first we’ve heard about this project, the plot details sound a bit different from the last time we checked on it....
