More Great Names Could Join the Joker in Gotham
Joaquin Phoenix likely won’t be the only big name in the upcoming super-villain origin film Joker. And he may not even be the biggest.
Recent developments via TheWrap indicate that young Vito Corleone himself may return to crime-filled storytelling, although this time, he won’t be the one behind the gun. Robert De Niro is eyeing a role and, if casted, it is likely the veteran actor will play Murray Franklin. Franklin is a late-night talk show host who is somehow pivotal in Arthur Fleck’s (Phoenix) transformation into the Joker (per ThatHashTagShow)...
Everyone Wants a Piece of Alita in the New Alita: Battle Angel Trailer
Alita is a super fighting time capsule in the new Alita: Battle Angel trailer. In a post-apocalyptic world where man and machine merge, Alita contains technology that was thought to have been lost in a cataclysmic event 300 years prior. This is the second full length trailer for the film, and it kicks it up a notch. Less sentimentality and more action mark the new preview.
Known as Gunnm in Japan, Yukito Kishiro’s creation looks surprisingly stunning in live-action form...
Disney Animation is Getting in the VR Short Film Game Next Month
Ever since I first laid eyes on a (vacuum tube) TV, I have longed to be immersed in a cartoon world. The colors, the characters, the sounds. I want to be in the center of it all. Disney is now making my wildest wish come true, as they so often do. The pioneer animation company is producing the first VR animated short film from a major studio, Variety reports.
Cycles comes from director lighting artist Jeff Gipson who has worked on four fabulous films,...
SDCC 2018: The DCEU Lightens Up for the First Shazam! Trailer
With the brooding Man of Steel and its gritty successors, Zack Snyder indelibly left his mark on the DCEU. Movies like Batman v Superman and Justice League — but not so much Aquaman, from the looks of the trailer — are indeed darker than the average superhero flick, but they’re not without relieving moments of humor and humanity. Shazam!, however, is taking a step back and concocting a whole new formula that may throw more jokes than punches...
SDCC 2018: Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah Awaken in Godzilla: King of the Monsters Trailer
The first Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer is surprisingly soothing. Giant creatures with the potential for humanity ending destruction are more awe-inspiring than fearful. For now. As Dr. Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) rallies support for unleashing the ancient beasts, the end of the world grows near.
Even without the monsters, the predicament is unsettling. There are catastrophic weather events happening far beyond the control of mankind. It’s enough to make me run and hide under the covers,...
SDCC 2018: Worlds Collide in the Wild First Aquaman Trailer
The DCEU has seen some major battle sequences in the past, but this takes things to a whole new level. Warner Bros. finally dropped our first real look at the standalone Aquaman film after director James Wan teased it last week. We expected to see bits of Arthur Curry’s origin and his introduction to the underwater kingdom that is rightfully his, and we got them. But by the end of the trailer we were promised an underwater war that could rival any that have graced the big screen before...
SDCC 2018: Favorite Beasts and a Long-Awaited Friend Appear in New Fantastic Beasts Trailer
Dumbledore has a particular penchant for sending proteges into the line of danger. Long before Harry was sent to fight Voldemort, Newt Scamander was the chosen one. Before he was headmaster, Dumbledore was a mere professor teaching schoolkids the Boggart-Banishing spell. As Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) and his followers begin to unite, Dumbledore (Jude Law) implores Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to fight in the new Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer.
Luckily for the wizarding world, Newt is up to the task...
SDCC 2018: Location Managers Discuss How They Find the Perfect Spot to Film
They found Jumanji in Hawaii, Skull Island in Vietnam, Hogwarts in England, and Wakanda in South Africa. The script calls for a 1970’s gas station or a Jane Austen-era house of an earl or the topography of another planet? Location scouts are the visual artists and logistical wizards who find the places that you see on the screen and oversee all of the details to make sure the crew has what they need and that, like Boy Scouts, they leave the place better than they found it...
SDCC 2018: Elijah Recruits a Powerful Ally in First Glass Trailer
Elijah Price has assembled every piece he needs to play out his comic book fantasies. Limited by brittle bone disease, Price has found Kevin Wendell Crumb who, when he becomes the Beast, is invincible. Eighteen years earlier, he connected with David Dunn, his only worthy nemesis. Everything is on the table now, so where do we go from here? The first trailer for Glass lays it all out and drops some clues.
Sarah Paulson’s role of Dr...
A Remarkably Talented Cast Has Been Announced for Tom Hooper’s Cats
This could be the memory of a lifetime. Superstars of stage and screen are coming together for the ultimate Broadway classic. Picture Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, James Corden, and Sir Ian McKellen together and what musical comes to mind? If you were remarkably thinking of Cats, you are psychic. I never could have predicted the news that the aforementioned performers will all adapt the phenomenon for the big screen.
It sounds like a ‘Crosswalk Musical’...
The Nightflyers Trade One Deadly Threat for Another in First Trailer
Isn’t it always the things that are meant to save us that become our demise? At least that seems to be the case in science fiction. Rotten Tomatoes has the mind-bending first full trailer for Nightflyers straight from SDCC. Humanity’s only hope is having a little trouble.
Earth is in peril and the best option is to leave for greener pastures. The crew of the Nightflyer embarks on the journey with eagerness and hope, only to face terror on board...
Black Panther‘s Brilliant Sister Shuri Getting her own Marvel Comic
Letitia Wright nearly walked away with Black Panther as the brilliant little sister of the film’s titular superhero. She was perhaps only slightly, fractionally less important to Wakanda than her big brother (and you could argue that her technological prowess makes her the nation’s most important person), and as embodied by Wright, she was also hilarious. Such was the potency of her performance that nearly immediately after Black Panther came out, everyone was clamoring for a Shuri standalone film...
Deadpool 2‘s Zazie Beetz in Talks to Join Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker Movie
If you were to ask us to name an actress we’d love to see in Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips’ Joker, Zazie Beetz would be really, really high on that list. The charismatic breakout star of Deadpool 2, as well as Donald Glover‘s consistently excellent Atlanta, is in talks to join the bad boy of Gotham.
The Hollywood Reporter has it that Beetz could be joining Phoenix in the standalone Joker (the film’s official title now—we love it) in what would be a decisive turn from the super ridiculous superhero world of Deadpool to a gritty,...
Elijah Price Signals the Era of Super-humans in Glass Teaser
Make way for Mr. Glass. The most vulnerable villain in cinema is having his moment. Criminal mastermind Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) stars in the final teaser trifecta for Glass.
Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), tortured by his uncontrollable personalities, was the first to be spotlighted this week. Next came the powerful David Dunn (Bruce Willis) who remains resistant to his fate and role as a superhuman. Crumb and Dunn grapple with the past,...
Could Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker Change the Comic Movie Landscape?
The Joaquin Phoenix led Joker movie was just recently announced, but the star has already gone on record about the role and now we know when we’ll actually get to see it. Firstly, according to THR, the deep dive character study will be titled simply Joker and the Gotham villain will get the spotlight next October.
While the title may be somewhat predictable, it speaks to an interesting trend...
Check out Millie Bobbie Brown in First Godzilla: King of the Monsters Clip
Our guess is in only a few days, we’ll have plenty of fresh Godzilla: King of the Monsters information to share. The Warner Bros. panel at Comic-Con is this Saturday, and the studio has already begun teasing their upcoming monster epic. Entertainment Weekly got this epic pic of everyone’s favorite nuclear-powered lizard. And now we’ve got a glimpse of the first teaser from Michael Dougherty’s film, which shows Stranger Things‘...
The Unbreakable David Dunn is Back in M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass
The Unbreakable David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is back. M. Night Shyamalan surprise crossover film Glass.
The indestructible Dunn will not only be pitted against his Unbreakable nemesis Elijah Price—known as Mr.Glass (Samuel L. Jackson)—he’ll also be facing the deranged Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) from Split. Anya Taylor-Joy is also reprising her Split role as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast...
Meet the Mother of Mamma Mia!
If anyone can rightly claim to be the mother of Mamma Mia!, the worldwide jukebox- musical sensation both on stage and screen, it is producer Judy Craymer. The impresario, 60, first hatched the idea to build a story around family bonds and lost loves inspired by the songs of Swedish pop sensation ABBA in 1996 after collaborating with the group’s tunesmiths Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus on the 1984 West End stage production of Chess...
