The Cast of Cats Will be Shrunk to the Size of Actual Cats
First, right off the bat, our featured image is of an actual cat from Captain Marvel. That’s Goose—who was played by four different cats. He stole most of the scenes he was in. Now Tom Hooper is one-upping Goose in a major way. In Hooper’s upcoming adaptation of the iconic Broadway musical Cats, the remarkably talented cast will be shrunk to the size of actual cats. This information comes from Universal Pictures’...
David Harbour Joins the Black Widow Cast
Hellboy himself is joining the MCU. More accurately, The Hollywood Reporter has it that Hellboy and Stranger Things‘ David Harbour is joining Marvel’s stand-alone Black Widow film. He’ll be joining the very talented actress Florence Pugh (Lady Lady Macbeth, Outlaw King) in director Cate Shortland’s film, which will track Scarlett Johansson’s titular superspy before she became a member of S.H.I.E.L.D...
Put on a Happy Face—The Joker Trailer Delivers
You are about to understand why audiences at CinemaCon were so blown away by the first trailer for Joker. Todd Phillips‘ origin story about one of the most iconic villains of all time looks as gritty as promised, with Joaquin Phoenix inhabiting the title role with his trademark intensity and craft.
“Arthur, does it help to have someone to talk to you?”
We open with Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) in therapy...
Taraji P. Henson & the Team Behind The Best of Enemies on Crafting History
The Best of Enemies is based on the true story of an African-American activist named Ann Atwater and a KKK official named C.P. Ellis who were forced to work together in a fight over school desegregation in 1971. In an interview with The Credits, star Taraji P. Henson, who plays Ann, writer/director Robin Bissell, and producer Dominique Telson talked about bringing this potent true story to the screen.
Taraji, we can see so much of Ann’s life and personality in her posture and the way she walks,...
The Joker Poster is Here, Trailer Coming Tomorrow
It’s time to put on a happy face.
The first poster for Todd Phillips‘ upcoming Joker is here. It’s delightfully creepy. Joaquin Phoenix’s titular psychopath is in his iconic clown paint. In Joker, Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck begins the film as a failed comedian. The poster gives us the Clown Prince of Chaos after his transformation from laughing stock to laughing lunatic. You’ll note that there appears to be blood on the Joker’s face...
Thanos Makes his First Appearance in new Avengers: Endgame Trailer
Oh boy. Finally. It’s our first glimpse at the big purple lunatic since he laid waste to half the universe in Infinity War. Thanos returns—finally—in this new Avengers: Endgame special look. Or more accurately, our heroes return to Thanos. This point is key. And this “Special Look” delivers more fresh footage than we thought we’d get from any Endgame spot leading to the premiere.
“If we do this we’d be going in shorthanded,”...
Evil Targets The Warren’s Daughter in First Annabelle Comes Home Trailer
If the Warrens say that something is dangerously possessed by an evil spirit, you had better believe them. Of course, people never listen and the creepiest doll on the planet breaks loose again in Annabelle Comes Home.
The Warrens keep the most dangerous items from their cases under strict lock and key to protect the public from curses and demons. However, they cannot protect people from their own stupidity in a new trailer for Annabelle Comes Home...
Bill Murray & Adam Driver Battle Zombies in The Dead Don’t Die
Is this the best cast ever assembled for a zombie movie? Yes. Yes, it is. Or, “disassembled,” as the film’s poster would have it. A zombie movie with the likes of Tilda Swinton and Steve Buscemi? Bill Murray and Adam Driver? Musician-actor phenoms Iggy Pop, RZA and Tom Waits? Jarmusch has a way of taking genres and making them cooler, funnier and weirder. He’s done it for westerns (1995’s Dead Man),...
Captain Marvel‘s Co-Editor Debbie Berman On her Favorite Scenes
In order to defeat the all-powerful Thanos, the Avengers will have to reach back in time. That doesn’t mean using the Time Stone to rewind back to before the snap, although we won’t rule that out. I’m referring to our recent trip to 90s era MCU to meet the newest and most potent Avenger.
With a decade of character development behind us, Marvel had just one movie to catch us up on all things Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) before pulling her into the fight of a lifetime...
Pet Sematary‘s Final Trailer Digs Deep
Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer Pet Sematary reboot had a lot to live up too. Director Mary Lambert’s 1989 original, based off one of Stephen King‘s most wrenchingly unsettling novels, made a whole generation of moviegoers appreciate the importance of their Achilles heel. That particular scene still gives me the creeps anytime I think about it. Lambert’s Sematary had a bunch of shocking sequences that crept out of the theater and stalked the viewer for days,...
Director Joe Russo on Avoiding Avengers: Endgame Spoilers
Avengers: Endgame opens in China on April 24, two days before its’ April 26 premiere in America. This is significant for one major reason above all others—the film is filled with spoilers. The Russo Brothers finale to their two-part epic will likely break the worldwide box office opening weekend record set by—yup, Avengers: Infinity War. If you want to see the film without having major plot points spoiled for you, you’re going to want to brave the crowds...
Dumbo’s Production Designer on Building Real Sets for a Flying Elephant
Tim Burton’s live-action Dumbo is not for children faint of heart. The iconic baby elephant with his signature oversized ears is ripped just as mercilessly from his mother in this modern update as he once was in Disney’s original 1941 animated feature. This time around, however, Dumbo’s got bigger, better allies. Upgraded from Timothy the mouse we now have the Farrier children, Milly, and Joe (Nico Parker and Finley Hobbins), who take the lead on Dumbo’s training and care alongside their father,...
Going to the Circus With Dumbo Costume Designer Colleen Atwood
Costume designer Colleen Atwood has made herself one of the most recognized costume designers in Hollywood. An Oscar-winner for Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha, Alice in Wonderland, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Atwood has been the designer of choice for director Tim Burton ever since she collaborated with him on Edward Scissorhands in 1990. Now she turns her inspired artistry to his new film Dumbo...
Marc Maron Shares What Makes Joker Different from Other Comic Book Movies
Superhero movies aren’t for everyone – including Joker star Marc Maron. The entertainer opened up to NME about what changed his mind when Todd Phillips’ took on the iconic Batman villain.
“I think it’s a very interesting approach to this world,” Maron told the site. “I’ve been somewhat judgmental when it comes to comic book movies and I’ve got a little pushback in the press for being a hypocrite. Whatever I think,...
It’s a Kaiju Mosh Pit in New Godzilla: King of the Monsters Trailer
Godzilla has been around a long time. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters our tortured history with the most iconic beast in cinema has come to a point of clarity. Godzilla was clearly a good guy in Gareth Edwards‘ 2014 Godzilla, but it took nearly the entire film’s runtime for folks on the ground to realize that. In this new trailer for director Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters,...
How Dumbo‘s Producer Carves out Creative Space for Tim Burton
Twenty-three years ago, Dumbo producer Derek Frey started working for Tim Burton as a gofer on Mars Attacks. Over the course of Burton’s next 11 movies, Frey rose through the ranks to become a trusted consigliere to the visionary director. Among Frey’s chief tasks: making sure that Burton gets to be Burton. “Tim’s an artist,” Frey says. “He treats every project like a canvas. I always try to – I don’t want to say ‘protect’...
The Avengers Reflect on Their Loss and Odds Against Thanos in Endgame
Losing is never a good feeling and there was a whole lot of it in Avengers: Infinity War. We lost the Infinity Stones, the battle, and half of everyone we loved.
The losses still weigh heavy on us fans, and perhaps even more so on the remaining cast members. Some of the remaining few shared their thoughts on moving forward without the fallen.
It seems emotional for everyone. We were all crushed by that outcome and the Avengers themselves are still reeling in Endgame trailers...
The Russo Brothers Want you to see Avengers: Endgame in IMAX
If you’ve got an IMAX theater near you, the Russo Brothers suggest you take advantage of it. The directors of Avengers: Endgame understandably believe that you should see the biggest film in Marvel history on the largest screen possible. If you’re going to be saying goodbye to Chris Evans’ Captain America, why not make sure his visage is crystal clear and massive?

Avengers: Endgame Posters Confirm Shuri’s Death
Marvel really flooded the zone yesterday, huh? They released the first official cache of Avengers: Endgame still images, giving us a closer look at our survivors. They also released that huge batch of new character posters. The photos showed us some intriguing new alliances (Tony Stark and Nebula, anyone) and some seriously somber superheroes.
