Prepare to Journey to the OASIS with the Ready Player One Theme Song
In any Spielberg movie, there is a chance you’ll encounter a horrible danger: dinosaurs, aliens, man eating sharks etc. Although faced with absolute fear and terrible odds, there’s an excitement that makes audiences line up to embark on that adventure. Spielberg has a filmmaking magic that extends into the score. The Ready Player One main theme most certainly captures the thrill of exploring a new land.
WaterTower Music has shared the main title theme and it’s as epic as you would hope...
Tomb Raider‘s Production Designer on Creating a Grittier, More Realistic Adventure
Tomb Raider is back, with a leaner, grittier, younger, and altogether more relatable Lara Croft, played by Oscar winner Alicia Vikander, at its center. As with the first two Tomb Raider films, which came out in 2001 and 2003, starring Angeline Jolie as the aristocratic Croft, both how to make and how to interpret the movie as it relates to its wildly popular video game source material has remained a present factor. Outside that shared aspect,...
New Ready Player One Trailer is an 80s Video Gamer’s Dream
Ready Player One looks like the ultimate video game dreamscape of any 80s kid, and probably the future of every kid born after 2015. The latest trailer dives deeper into the objective of the game and shows off a fantastic virtual Nirvana.
The action takes place in the “OASIS”, a virtual reality world created by the recently deceased James Halliday (Mark Rylance). Game development is to these kids what chocolate was to Augustus Gloop. Much like Willy Wonka,...

Reshoots are par for the course for blockbuster-sized films, whether they are set in a galaxy far, far away, in Gotham or somewhere within the vast Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Deadpool 2‘s case, the reshoots had the advantage of one very specific note; give us more of Domino (Atlanta‘s breakout star Zazie Beetz) and Cable (Josh Brolin).
Despite initial rumors about bad test screenings, everything in the world of the untitled Deadpool sequel (which everybody is understandably calling Deadpool 2 until told otherwise) is good...

See All 10-Years of the MCU Films Before Thanos Destroys It All in Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War has been a 10-year buildup of introducing characters, storylines, and assembling the greatest heroes in the universe.

The Final Rampage Trailer is Gloriously Gonzo
We’re going to go out on a limb and say Dwayne Johnson had fun making Rampage. Directed by Brad Peyton, the Warner Bros.’ adaptation from the classic video game should be nothing but fun, considering its’ source material is one of the most classic arcade games of all time, and not, say, a 19th century novel about land rights in Russia. Rampage is about three monstrously genetically-modified animals that take the title of the film very seriously...

The First Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald Trailer Finds Dumbledore at Hogwarts
Muggles are enjoying spring break, but the wizarding world is heading back to school – and back in time. The place is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the time is the 1920s when Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) was merely a professor.

Back when security at the school was much lower,...
Build Your Own Ill-Fated Jurassic Park With the Help of Jeff Goldblum
If there is anything that Dr. Ian Malcolm has taught us, it’s that life finds a way. If there’s a 2nd thing that Dr. Ian Malcolm has taught us, it’s to never harvest dinosaur DNA from a mosquito in petrified amber and recreate an extinct species for fun and enjoyment. Unless, of course, it’s a video game. Then he’ll definitely help you. In a mega 90’s mashup of nostalgia, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will be releasing a new video game designed by none other than the creators of RollerCoaster Tycoon and voiced by Jeff Goldblum...
Lean on Pete‘s Composer on why This Gorgeous Film Needed a Live Score
Though the score created for Lean on Pete is placed only in chosen scenes, those scenes are chosen expertly. The score is a powerful element that helps bring cohesion to the emotional and physical journey taking place in the movie. Lean on Pete is by acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Haigh (Weekend, 45 Years), and is based on the novel by Willy Vlautin. The story’s centered on fifteen-year-old Charley Thompson (Charlie Plummer),...

Since its publication in 1962, Madeleine L’Engle’s novel “A Wrinkle in Time” has earned the affection of millions of fans. In fact, many of the people who worked on Disney’s new cinematic adaptation have loved the book for years.
It seems impossible though that any of them have loved the book as much as producer Catherine Hand, who wanted to make it a feature film when she first read it in 1963. At the time,...
Weird & Wonderful Sundance Standout Sorry to Bother You Drops First Trailer
There was a lot to like at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, which was marked by a glut of hugely impressive, high quality films (but not a ton of big time deals, as we’ve been used to in the past).

This glimpse at Riley’s audacious film gives you a snapshot of why Sorry to Bother You left crowds in Park City so giddy...

John Krasinski Writes New Rules for Horror with A Quiet Place At SXSW
Jim Halpert on The Office was always great at pranks, but none of them were quite this chilling. Mostly known for his comedic roles, John Krasinski directed his first horror film, and it’s one of an early hit out of SXSW. A Quiet Place has an intriguing premise and the trailers have been terrifying us for months. Audience members said they were thoroughly satisfied by the story and it was really, really scary.
