“Texas Chainsaw Massacre” Trailer Reveals the Return of Leatherface

If you’re going to start a new business, perhaps Harlow, Texas, is not the ideal destination? This would be a bit of advice we’d give Melody (Sarah Yarkin), her sister Lila (Elsie Fisher), and their pals Dante (Jacob Latimore) and Ruth (Nell Hudson) after watching the first trailer for Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which follows the legacy of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic and acts a proper sequel to that film.

Here it is, the first official scene from writer/director Matt Reeves’s upcoming The Batman. The brand new video, titled “Funeral Scene,” reveals Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattison) attending a funeral, while Bella Reál (Jayme Lawson), a Gotham City mayoral candidate, mentions to Bruce that unlike his parents before him, he’s made no recent contributions to the city’s charities. She hopes that’ll change when she’s elected mayor.

While Bella goes off to pay her respects to the family,

Jason Momoa in Talks to Join “Fast & Furious 10” as a Villain

Talk about an exciting addition to the family. Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa, is in final negotiations to join Vin Diesel and the gang for Fast & Furious 10. The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop that Momoa is closing in on a deal to join Diesel for the tenth installment of the franchise, and could be playing one of the film’s villains.

“This is the end for us. This is the last time people will see this team of Guardians,”

C-3P0 Actor Anthony Daniels Teases Fussy But Heroic Droid’s Return to “Star Wars”

The last time we saw C-3P0 (Anthony Daniels) in action, he was playing a crucial part in saving the galaxy in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. In J.J. Abrams’s trilogy capping film, C-3P0 allowed his entire memory bank to be erased in order to rewrite his code so he could translate the Sith language. The fussy, nervous droid stepped up when it mattered most, and even Poe (Oscar Isaac) had to begrudgingly accept 3P0’s heroic sacrifice.

Oscar Race Shapes Up With “Dune” & “Licorice Pizza” Leading DGA & WGA Nominations

The Oscar race clarified a bit yesterday, with some clear frontrunners emerging from the pack. Oscar voting began in earnest, while four of the most influential guilds delivered their own nominations. The Directors Guild of America, the Writers Guild of America, the Producers Guild of America, and the American Cinema Editors delivered their lists, giving some shape to the race ahead.

Final “Uncharted” Trailer Finds Tom Holland Hanging By a Thread

The final trailer for Uncharted has arrived, charting the adventures of Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a thief tapped by treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to help him track down a bounty worth a cool $5 billion. The film, from director Ruben Fleischer (Venom), is adapted from the hugely popular PlayStation game and is Holland’s first role since he starred in the world-beating Spider-Man: No Way Home. 

Watch Tom Holland Get Roughed Up in “Uncharted” Stunt Video

Tom Holland is not new to wild stunts. Considering he’s played Spider-Man, the most acrobatic of superheroes, for three movies now, the guy knows a thing or three about using his body during a performance, and in the case of Spider-Man, often attaching said body to wires. Even though quite a bit of the stunt work in a Spider-Man or MCU film is computer generated, there are still plenty of sequences in which Holland is putting in the work himself.

“Halo” Poster Reveals Fresh Look at Upcoming TV Series & Upcoming New Trailer

The adaptation of the mega-popular game Halo will arguably be the biggest series in Paramount+’s history.

The poster points to an upcoming trailer that’ll drop this Sunday, where we should learn the series’

“No Time To Die” Editor Tom Cross on Cutting to the Chase

No Time To Die gave us an appropriately epic sendoff for Daniel Craig’s final mission as James Bond. With ripping action rooted in Bond’s emotional journey, unusual for this franchise until Craig became 007, No Time To Die manages to be a breathless, nearly three-hour-long sprint towards the most bittersweet ending in Bond film history. From the riveting opening scene, a flashback that reveals the connection between Madeline Swann (Léa Seydoux) and the film’s villain,

Director Sam Raimi on Watching “Spider-Man: No Way Home” & the Status on His “Doctor Strange 2”

Director Sam Raimi was in a very unique position when he got a chance to see Spider-Man: No Way Home. Unlike the rest of us, who delighted in seeing the return of not only iconic villains like Doc Ock (Alfred Molina) and the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) but also see Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprise their respective versions of Peter Parker, it was something of a family affair for Raimi. He was the man who brought us Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker to the big screen,

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” Almost Featured This Iconic Villain

When you think about the now history-making Spider-Man: No Way Home, one thing you’d probably never say is, “that movie needed more villains.” No Way Home already provided a slew of legendary adversaries once Peter Parker (Tom Holland, obviously) messed with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in the middle of a spell. Yet concept art from one of the film’s designers reveals that a sixth villain was considered at some point.

The “Encanto” Earworm “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” Makes Music History

You may have heard that Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s soundtrack for Encanto has become a massive musical hit, returning this week to number 1 on Billboard’s album chart, beating out stiff competition from superstar the Weekend. More to the point, the soundtrack’s biggest earworm, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” has surpassed Frozen‘s Oscar-winning smash “Let It Go” as the biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit from a Disney animated film since Aladdin.

“Batgirl” Movie Cast Ivory Aquino to Play DC’s First Trans Character

The Batgirl movie keeps getting more intriguing. Ivory Aquino has joined the cast to play Alysia Yeoh, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl’s best friend (to be played by Leslie Grace). This is a historic piece of casting, as Aquino, who is transgender, will play the first openly trans character in a live-action DC movie. Alysia Yeoh was created by writer Gail Simone and first appeared in “Batgirl #1, Volume 4” in 2011. She was the first major transgender character written in a contemporary context for a mainstream comic book.

“Drive My Car” Director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi on His Moving Portrait of Life’s Twists & Turns

One of the most intriguing cinematic journeys of 2021 emanates from Japan and is aptly named Drive My Car.

A mesmerizing sojourn that exactingly unfolds over a three-hour running time, the film follows acclaimed actor and theatre director Yûsuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), beginning with his unorthodox marriage to Oto (Reika Kirishima), before segueing to a stage production he is directing of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. The latter brings him together with Misaki Watari (Tôko Miura),

“The Batman” Drops New TV Spot Teasing the Riddler’s Deadly Game

We are getting ever closer to seeing writer/director Matt Reeves’s The Batman, which means we can expect more TV spots to emerge in the coming weeks.

The new spot is centered on the Riddler’s psychotic interest in Batman (Robert Pattinson), which takes the form, as you’d expect given his personality,

“Pinocchio” Teaser Reveals Guillermo del Toro’s Take on the Iconic Tale

If you’re going to take a fresh look at Carlo Collodi’s deathless story about a wooden marionette who’s magically brought to life to help heal the soul of a grieving woodcarver named Geppetto, can you think of a better filmmaker for the task than Guillermo del Toro? The visionary director has appropriately chosen to tackle the tale via a stop-motion musical, and Netflix has delivered the first official teaser. Del Toro co-directs the film alongside Mark Gustafson,

Costume Designer Justine Seymour on Subtle Power on Display in “Women of the Movement”

After his 1955 murder, Emmett Till’s death became a galvanizing event for the burgeoning Civil Rights movement. The mutilated 14-year-old was given an open casket funeral at the behest of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, who wished the world to see what Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam had done to her son. Lynched while on holiday to visit family in Money, Mississippi, after being falsely accused of whistling at a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, (Emmett had a stutter,

“The Batman” Runtime Reveals one of the Longest Superhero Movies Ever

The Batman has already surpassed all previous stand-alone films based on Gotham’s Dark Knight in one way—it’s going to be the longest film in the franchise. Writer/director Matt Reeves’s forthcoming trip to Gotham has a runtime of two hours and fifty-five minutes, topping Christopher Nolan’s trilogy capping The Dark Knight Rises, which ran to two hours and forty-four minutes.
