Star Wars: The Force Awakens Director J.J. Abrams Finally Answers a Bunch of Questions

Okay sort of. Abrams was part of Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit in which big, bold names in business, entertainment, technology and politics gathered at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco to chat about, well, nearly everything. Tesla Motor's Elon Musk, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Girls creator Lena Dunham, former ESPN writer and Grantland found Bill Simmons, photographer Annie Lebovitz and more were on hand.

Stephen Colbert Accurately Predicts Entire Plot of Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Okay, he doesn't, but that doesn't stop this Star Wars superfan (and close personal friend to director J.J. Abrams…despite "not knowing what J.J. stands for") from speculating on the entire plot of The Force Awakens after watching the final trailer.

The funny thing (well, one of the funny things) is how demonstrably not insane this is. Colbert is a legitimate Star Wars 

Watch Inside Out Characters React to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

It's cross promotion at it's most obvious, and, frankly, finest—Disney-owned Pixar's Inside Out characters react to Disney's Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. Now that Inside Out is out on Digital HD, with it's DVD and Blu-ray coming next Tuesday, November 3, it makes sense they'd remind viewers about this highly original film by linking it to Star Wars: The Force Awakens,

Can Patrick Schwarzenegger Top Dad in Scout’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse?

Having had its release pushed back a week, to October 30th, Scout’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse opens just in time to be a gore-filled romp for everyone too old to trick-or-treat (which should be most of the film’s audience, since Scout’s Guide was raunchy enough to get an R rating). The movie features three devoted scouts,

Empire Magazine Reveals Enchantress Suicide Squad Cover

Empire Magazine has different covers for their big Suicide Squad feature that will hit newsstands tomorrow. Some of the psychos, killers and freaks who grace Empire's covers are The Joker (Jared Leto), Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margo Robbie) and the Enchantress (Cara Delevingne).

While director David Ayer (Fury, End of Watch, Training Day) told 

Watch the new The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 TV Spot

Unless you were watching game one of the World Series between the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets last night (what a game), you missed the new The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 TV spot Lionsgate dropped. Once again, it was a doozy.

Like the all of Lionsgate's previous trailers and TV spots, the latest is masterclass in giving us just enough new stuff (images,

Are you Prepared for an Adam Sandler Western? Watch The Ridiculous Six Trailer

You've got Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight  due in December, and a remake of John Sturges’ iconic 1960 western The Magnificent Seven (itself based on Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai), directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt due out next September. And in case you weren't aware, you've also got Adam Sandler's The Ridiculous Six,

Watch the Worst Take-Out Order of all Time in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In tonight's episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) is marooned on an alien planet, but unlike Mark Watney (Matt Damon) in The Martian, Simmons can't grow her food, she's got to kill it.

In season two, Simmons was sucked into the Kree monolith after agreeing to go on a date with Fitz (Iain De Caestecker),

The Incredible Link Between Helena Bonham Carter & Suffragette Villain

In Sarah Gavron’s film Suffragette, about the fight to gain votes for women in Edwardian England, the Prime Minister, Lord Herbert Asquith, opposes women’s suffrage and, on this issue, falls squarely on the wrong side of history. When it came time to cast the film, which stars Carey Mulligan, Gavron had Helena Bonham Carter at the top of her wish list to play one of the Suffragettes.

New Joker Photos from Suicide Squad

Empire Magazine's upcoming story on Suicide Squad comes complete with photos from the set, and, this colorful cover image of the craziest super villain of them all, the Joker (Jared Leto).

What you probably already know is that Suicide Squad follows a host of bad guys following their conditional release from their various maximum security dungeon-cells so they can join forces and track down an even badder guy.

What if Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Was Voiced by Brooklynites?

Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, you now have an answer to this question. Kimmel was filming Jimmy Kimmel Live in Brooklyn all last week, and he decided to ask his local crew to record their voices over the actors in the Stars Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. The result? Hilarious. From the opening voiceover, "Hey what's up, how's everything?" playing over the masked face of Rey (Daisy Ridley),

Watch Daisy Ridley & BB-8 React to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

We have been trying to take a breather from Star Wars: The Force Awakens tidbits considering the release of the final trailer and everything surrounding it (the pre-ticket sales, the IMAX screening locations, the new images) pretty much dominated last week. But then we saw BB-8 watching the trailer in bed and threw all that out the window.

Take a moment to think about how much film marketing has been changed by social media.

Jem vs. Jem: Eighties Relic Hits 21st Century in new Jem and the Holograms

Opening on Friday is director Jon M. Chu’s mildly more believable, live action version of the 80s classic cartoon Jem and the Holograms. The original Hannah Montana, before Miley Cyrus was even a twinkle in Billy Ray’s eye, cartoon Jem was a regular girl in disguise as a rock star, a feat made possible by a one-of-a-kind hologram machine named Synergy, a magical pair of earrings, and endless glitter, guts,

Check Out These New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Images

We were waiting for Disney and Lucasfilm to drop some hi-resolution images on us from the latest, and last, Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, and they've obliged. These new images allow for much clearer scrutiny for you obsessive Star heads (apologies), although they likely won't sate your appetite completely. Considering the film doesn't premiere until December 18, one has to assume these images won't be the last taste of The Force Awakens 

Trailer for Pride + Prejudice + Zombies, Oh My

“A woman must have a thorough knowledge of singing, dancing and the art of war.”

When you think of Jane Austen you think of the landed English gentry of the 19th century, women dancing in long Empire-waisted dresses gossiping and plotting, and English class. If we were to play a word association game what would you say if we said “Pride and Prejudice” – you might say Mr. Darcy, Laurence Olivier, Colin Firth,

Fall Read/Watch List: Read These Books, Then See Their Film Adaptations

This year, we’ve been treated to a variety of great cinematic adaptations. From Paper Towns this summer (read our interview with the screenwriters here), to more recent films like The Martian and Black Mass, Hollywood, once again, has been looking to the page for cinematic inspiration. Many of the films this fall are no different with at least ten more book adaptations hitting the big screen in 2015.

Meryl Streep Crushes Another Accent in Suffragette

Suffragette, which portrays the more violent side of Great Britain’s women’s fight for the vote during the late 19th century and early 20th, stars Carey Mulligan as a beleagured young worker who becomes entrenched in the front lines of the suffrage movement. Leading Mulligan’s character and her fictional cohort is Emmeline Pankhurst, a pivotal and very real suffragette and political activist who died in 1928, living to see her mission accomplished plus ten years.

Watch Jennifer Lawrence Bring the Joy in Latest Collaboration With David O. Russell

Director David O. Russell and star Jennifer Lawrence are carving out one of the most interesting collaborations in the film business. When Lawrence isn’t leading a righteous revolution as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games or trying to start a mutant revolution as Mystique in X-Men, she’s sought out the juicy, complex, human roles offered by Russell. She won her Academy Award for her earthy performance in Russell's 

Back to the Future Day & Films That Got the Future Right

As we’re sure you’re aware, today, Wednesday October 21, 2015, is the very day in the future that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) traveled to in Back to the Future Part II. At the time of filming, 2015 was more than a quarter-century away, yet the vision of the future writer/director Robert Zemeckis and screenwriter Bob Gale envisioned hasn’t turned out to be total bunk, despite Zemeckis’s misgivings.

"I always hated —
