Final Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Trailer Reveals Adrenalin Shot of Horror

You know where you don’t want to find yourself? In an very tight, enclosed space with a T-Rex that isn’t quite as tranquilized as you assumed (and hoped) she was. So begins the final trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, putting Owen (Chris Pratt) in yet another impossible situation. With him is Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard), the former number two at Jurassic World who, along with Owen and her two nephews, was dead center (in more ways than one) in the drama that befell the park in Jurassic World. ...

Thandie Newton Drops Hints About Her Mysterious Solo: A Star Wars Story Character

We would trade a Kyber Crystal to know more about Thandie Newton’s role in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars film. She looks positively badass and her character is cloaked in mystery. That probably indicates the importance her role plays in the overall story arc and peaks our interest. Newton did open up to Radio Times about the role and we’re scavenging her comments for clues.

Newton plays Val, a member of Beckett’s (Woody Harrelson) crew who will become teammates with Han (Aldren Ehrenreich) and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo)...

Ava DuVernay Announces Star Wars: Episode IX Assistant Director

We were ecstatic last fall when J.J. Abrams announced he would be returning to close out the Skywalker Saga with Star Wars: Episode IX. Abrams is one of the most crisp storytellers of our generation and capably carried on the George Lucas legacy with The Force Awakens. We trust him to finish this thing right, yet Han Solo cannot pilot the Millenium Falcon without Chewbacca. So too does Abrams require a copilot. Today, she has been found and we are dying to know everything about her...

Josh Brolin Says He’ll Play Cable in Four Upcoming Films

Test audiences loved him. We’ve loved him. If you’ve loved what you’ve seen thus far of Josh Brolin’s Cable in the Deadpool 2 trailers, then this is great news: Brolin has confirmed to Empire Magazine that his newcomer to the Deadpool franchise will be a veteran in no time—there are at least four films featuring Cable in the works.

“We think about it in four movie terms,”...

Steven Spielberg Bringing DC Comics’ Blackhawk to the Big Screen

This is a major, major announcement coming from Warner Bros.’ and DC—Steven Spielberg will be producing and possibly directing a movie about DC Comics’ Blackhawk. The script is from one of his longtime creative partners, writer David Koepp (Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), and would likely return the legendary filmmaker to World War II.

World War II is, of course, territory he Spielberg mined to fantastic effect before with Saving Private Ryan...

Watch Marvel History Unfold From Iron Man to Infinity War in New Featurette

The history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is largely now a history of how the entire film industry has been changed in the last decade. Beginning with 2008’s Iron Man and carrying on with Avengers: Infinity War next Friday, April 27, Marvel has altered the cinematic landscape with their hugely ambitious interconnected world (okay, universe) of films. This feat has been discussed, at length, in countless ways and on countless forums, but to see it laid out in a single,...

New Solo: A Star Wars Story TV Spot Features the Best Blaster Handoff of All Time

Risk is a part of a smuggler’s life. So is the fact that a lot of the folks you’ll be dealing with “are not your friends,” as Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) reminds a young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich). Yet this new TV spot does seem to prove what we always suspected—the life of the galactic smuggler can be fun. In one particularly awesome sequence, you’ll see Han and Lando (Donald Glover) fighting together as if they’ve been doing it all their lives...

Glimpse The Process of Incredibles 2 With New Behind-The-Scenes Images

With the highly anticipated release of Brad Bird’s The Incredibles 2 just two months away, fans who have been waiting 14 very long years are eager for information about the sequel to one of the most beloved Pixar films of all time. The first teaser revealed some of Jack-Jack’s powers that we glimpsed briefly in The Incredibles, and the first trailer confirmed that the sequel would focus more on super-mom Elastigirl (the great Helen Hunt)...

Ready Player One Solidifies Steven Spielberg as a Record-Breaking Storyteller

You can’t put a price on your favorite movie memories, but here’s a rough value of Steven Spielberg’s catalog of films. Ready Player One reached number one at the box office in its opening week pushing Spielberg’s lifetime gross past $10 billion.

Spielberg is the first filmmaker to cross that threshold making him the most profitable director of all time. The visionary director has been behind the lens for more than half a century,...

Russo Brothers Say Avengers: Infinity War & Avengers 4 Are Two Distinct Films

Don’t expect Avengers: Infinity War to end with a cliffhanger that won’t be answered until the still untitled Avengers 4 hits theaters in May of 2019. This is great news.

For while, especially when the two films were titled Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Infinity War Part Two, it made sense of think of them as one giant story. First, you had the fact that the second film was titled Part Two. ...

Jason Clarke in Talks to Lead Paramount’s Pet Sematary Reboot

Adapting Stephen King isn’t always easy, but when done right, the results can be magnificent. That was certainly the case for Andy Muschietti’s It, which was one of 2017’s most pleasant (in a terrifying way) surprises. The film was both a critical and commercial smash, no easy feat considering It was one of the legendary novelist’s more difficult tomes to crack. Yet Muschietti and his team took the book’s first half—when the Losers’...

The First Hotel Artemis Trailer Reveals Sensational Cast in Wild new Film

Hotel Artemis is the directorial debut for Iron Man 3 screenwriter Drew Pearce, and it contains the thrills and clever sci-fi conceits you’d expect of the man who wrote the best Iron Man of them all. The film is set in 2028, in a Los Angeles engulfed in rioting. There’s a sanctuary (of sorts) known as Hotel Artemis, run by the enigmatic healer, where crooks and criminals can come to get patched up, so long as they follows the rules...

The Russo Brothers Reveal Members of the Black Order Appearing in Avengers: Infinity War

Avengers: Infinity War is right around the corner with an April 27 release date, and yet there is still so much about the film that we don’t know. The Russo Brothers have been quiet on questions surrounding Hawkeye’s mysterious absence from promotional photos and if Ant-Man will be aiding in the fight against Thanos. They have, however, shared amazing promotional posters, television spots, and hinted that all of our favorite heroes may not survive this film...

Rampage Roars While A Quiet Place Still Soars

Mutant beasts and murderous aliens dominated the box office this weekend. Dwayne Johnson’s new film, Rampage, was officially released in theaters Friday April 13 with an A- CinemaScore, and has already made $34.5 million domestically and $148.6 million globally—that’s a lot of zeroes—and that’s only in three days. This has placed Johnson, his gorilla pal George and the rest of the colossal crew in the top spot this week domestic box offices.

ComingSoon.net reports that John Krasinski’s thriller A Quiet Place saw a mere 29% drop in ticket sales this week (a very small drop off),...

Star-Lord’s Imitation of Thor in this Avengers: Infinity War Spot is Not So Flattering

Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) isn’t really much of a team player. He’s already getting under Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) skin by challenging the genius inventor’s master plan, while a new Avengers: Infinity War spot shows the Missouri native attempting to match wits with the God of Thunder. This probably isn’t going to end well.

Blaster Battle Aboard Space Train Highlights This Solo: A Star Wars Story TV Spot

By the time we meet Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, they’re old friends with a long history of swashbuckling adventure between them. In this new Solo: A Star Wars Story TV spot, titled “Crew,” we see for the first time the moment Han even learns Chewie’s name (how Han already understands the Wookie language is a question only SNL seems interested in raising)...

Composer

Mudbound & Come Sunday Composer Tamar-kali’s Singular Path

At less than 2% of all composers, the percentage of female scoring artists working in the film industry is the lowest and most out of balance with the number of men getting hired. There isn’t any official data on how many of those are women of color, but it’s an even smaller fraction. With her critically acclaimed score for Mudbound, and now with her new work for the film Come Sunday, composer Tamar-kali is inching those numbers upward and doing her part to change the Hollywood system,...

Kay Cannon on her Hilarious Directorial Debut Blockers

If you’ve ever been a Teen Movie fan, the last several years haven’t really been for you. While the late 90s and early aughts had more than their fair share of teen movies (many now classics), it’s been few and far between for a studio coming-of-age flick. But in the last month, we’ve been blessed with not one, but two studio teen films: Greg Berlanti’s Love, Simon and Kay Cannon’s Blockers—both that have made progressive new changes to the teen film formula...

Our It: Chapter Two Fantasy Cast is Actually Becoming a Reality

This is the stuff that dreams are made of – provided you dream about incredibly talented actors portraying the adult version of kids stalked by a killer clown. THR reports that James McAvoy and Bill Hader are in talks to join the adult cast of It: Chapter Two.

McAvoy has reportedly risen to the top of the short list to play Losers Club leader, Bill Denbrough. McAvoy is extremely dynamic having played the tragic Robbie Turner in Atonement and the 23 personalities of Kevin in Split...

Here’s the Diabolical Mastermind the Parr Family Will Be Facing in The Incredibles 2

The Incredibles 2 trailers have revealed the plethora of  Jack-Jack’s powers (that we only got a glimpse of in the first movies) and we have learned that the film’s shining star will be literal supermom, Elastigirl. A new trailer finally introduces us briefly to the film’s rather disturbing villain, more of stay-at-home dad Mr. Incredible and, of course, lots of Frozone.

Elastigirl has become the face of a new project to help improve the image of meta-humans—if there’s anything we’ve learned from superhero films it’s that people tend to have an extreme distrust of their extraordinary abilities—leaving Bob to take care of the kids...
