Today at 12pm eastern, Bottleneck Gallery and Acme Archives are releasing Marko Manev's latest noir print series of the original Star Wars trilogy.

Trumbo: A Powerful Look at Hollywood and the Blacklist

Hollywood loves the topic of Hollywood. Most movies about movies illuminate the wonderful, creative, even magical process of bringing stories to the screen, but with Trumbo, a critical eye is being turned towards a less savory aspect of Tinsel Town, in particular the effects that the House Committee on Un-American Activities had on those who plied their trade in the movie business, and those who helped created and maintain the Hollywood Blacklist.

The first trailer for the biopic Trumbo has just been released,

Here’s How They Made the Incredible Inception Hallway Fight Scene

CineFix’s latest Art of the Scene video tackles one of the more ambitious, wild sequences in modern film history: the rotating hotel corridor fight scene in Christopher Nolan’s Inception. In the scene, Joseph Gordon-Levitt grapples with a bad guy in zero gravity dream battle.

Straight Outta Compton Screenwriter Andrea Berloff on N.W.A.’s Story

HBO Teases Westworld & Amy Schumer Live at the Apollo

It almost looks like a conventional western, which wouldn’t be a bad thing for HBO considering the last time they tackled the genre they gave us Deadwood. Only Westworld is hardly a proper western, as many of those cowboys and cowgirls aren’t actually human.

HBO dropped the teaser right before the True Detective finale last night, and it’s a creepy little number. Loosely based on the 1973 film written and directed by Michael Crichton,
