Chatting With Jeff Goldblum About Independence Day: Resurgence
Twenty years after the humans united to fight the invading aliens, with the help of computer virus uploaded by a nerdy genius David Levinson, played by Jeff Goldblum, the aliens have returned, and Jeff Goldblum has, too, in Independence Day; Resurgence. In an interview, Goldblum talked about returning to the role of David Levinson two decades after the first film. But any conversation with Goldblum is guaranteed to be wide-ranging and he asks at least as many questions as he answers,...
Finding Dory Clip: Baby Dory’s Cuteness is off the Charts
This past weekend Finding Dory had the biggest opening for an animated film in history, easily overtaking former champion, Shrek the Third (2007), by nearly $15 million. Pixar's latest has swam past the competition on a current of strong reviews, sitting at a rating of 94% fresh on RottenTomatoes.com. CNN's Brian Lowry writes, "Pixar films are invariably clever and play on multiple levels, and this one is no exception. There's something deeply moving about Dory's plight."...
James Gunn has Just Wrapped Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
And that's a wrap, folks. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. is in the can, a fact made official with an announcement on Facebook by director James Gunn and star Chris Pratt. The video came from Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, where Gunn had some kind words for his crew, the men and women who make these movies possible, and so with little fanfare. There is no Star-Lord without costume designers, production designer, SFX supervisors and many, many more. ...
Become Tarzan in new The Legend of Tarzan 360 Experience
In The Legend of Tarzan, our jungle raised hero (Alexander Skarsgård) has been living with his wife Jane (Margot Robbie) in London. Life is good. But, this being Tarzan, he can't stay in the city forever. Thus, Tarzan is forced to return to the Congo in order to act as a trade representative for England, a rather stuffy reason to return to his very wild home. Lucky for us, there's a nefarious Belgian captain (Christoph Waltz) who has sinister plans for his beloved jungle,...
Marvel Unveils 10 Facts About Black Panther
We've got another two years until Ryan Coogler's Black Panther hits the big screen, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the coolest superhero of all time's resurgence, starting with Chadwick Boseman's turn in Captain America: Civil War and continuing with award winning writer Ta-Nehisi Coates writing an 11-issue series for Marvel. As Coates writes in The Atlantic, scripting a Black Panther comic series was a dream come true:
"The Black Panther—who,...
Wonder Woman‘s Comic “Rebirth” Launch & Film Details

Thankfully, we have her solo film to look forward to,...
First Look at Pixar’s Incredible Short Film Piper
It's a mere 24 seconds long, but it's just enough time to fall for the four inch tall sandpiper hatchling at the center of Piper. Pixar's latest short follows this hungry little hatchling as it discovers finding food without mom's help is pretty difficult, especially when there are waves crashing in on you. Piper delivers nearly photo-real cinematography, and looks almost like a nature documentary. Yet because this is a Pixar film, you know every thing in the frame, to the tiniest details (the bubbles in the sand,...
Happy Ghostbusters Day! Meet the new Ecto-1
It was 32 years ago today, on June 8, 1984, that the original Ghostbuters came out. So it's fitting we're celebrating the Ecto-1, one of the most iconic cars in film history, which was introduced in the original and has been revamped for the new film.
The old Ecto-1 had a 1959 Cadillac professional chassis, an ambulance/hearse combination. In the film, Dr. Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) found the vehicle shortly after he mortgaged his mother's house to buy the Firehouse (which became Ghostbusters HQ)...

In this new clip, Dylan and Jake Morrison (Liam Hemsworth) are heading for a collision in a dog fight with aliens that looks to end in tragedy...
Silicon Valley‘s TJ Miller Joins Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One
It was just last Friday when we shared this video of Silicon Valley's TJ Miller's hilarious riffs on how old "Action" Jake Barker is (Stephen Tobolowsky). Miller's star has been slowly rising for a while now, beginning in 2008’s Cloverfield, finally reaching a point in the firmament where people really started to take notice once landed on Silicon Valley. He recently played Weasel in February's smash hit ...

How They Built the Props for Star Wars: The Force Awakens
One of the things that has always made Star Wars such a delight is the intense care that went into the design of the franchise's many iconic props. It's not just that they're cool (they are), but that they looked like objects that have been in use for years or more. As far back as A New Hope, the Star Wars films have always made sure the things the characters wear and use look like they've been worn and used...
Costume Designer Colleen Atwood Talks Alice Through the Looking Glass
A longtime Tim Burton collaborator, the costume designer Colleen Atwood is responsible for Johnny Depp’s now-iconic Edward Scissorhands get-up, won an Oscar for 2010’s Alice in Wonderland, and was nominated for Burton’s Sweeney Todd. The release of the Burton-produced Alice Through the Looking Glass sees Atwood back at the fanciful-yet-functional drawing board.

The film follows Ben (Rudd), a retired writer with some not insignificant personal problems (including a busted marriage he can't move on from) who becomes a caregiver for his first client, Trevor (Craig Roberts), an angry 18-year-old with muscular dystrophy and a way with brutal one-liners. Ben and Trevor take an impromptu road trip to all the country's most absurd places that Trevor longs to see,...

How the Amazing Quicksilver Rescue was Created in X-Men: Apocalypse
Arguably the best scene in the new X-Men: Apocalypse was the stunning sequence in which Quicksilver (Evan Peters) arrives at Xavier's School for Gifted Children. For those of you who haven't seen the film, you can stop reading now. For those of you who have, you can also check out our spoiler-free review here.
Quicksilver's big scene comes rather early on in the film (as it did in Days of Future Past)—he arrives at Xavier's school to find it in the midst of exploding...
Talking to Weiner Directors Josh Kriegman & Elyse Steinberg
When co-directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg started making Weiner in 2013, two years after their subject had resigned from the U.S. Congress because of a sexting scandal, Anthony Weiner seemed to be a comeback kid. He was making a second run for mayor of New York, and this time the polls predicted success. Then more embarrassing e-mails and inappropriate cellphone photos surfaced, and Weiner's campaign hit a wall of media derision and voter disgust.
The candidate didn't banish the filmmakers when things went wrong,...
First Photo From Set of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant
Here’s a photo from the set of Ridley Scott’s follow up to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, that shows star Katherine Waterston looking very Ridley-esque. It’s actually a photo from a monitor, where Scott and his crew can see what they’re filming. It was posted on the official Alien Facebook page.
Joining Waterston is Prometheus star Michael Fassbender, and what little we know about the film is that it's the second in a trilogy that leads us to the action of 1979's seminal ...
