A new Rise of Skywalker poster? Check. The first trailer for the first-ever live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian? Check. A fresh batch of photos from The Mandalorian?
Six new Joker Clips Reveal Gritty Origin Story
This Wednesday, August 28, we’ll get a new trailer for Joker. Warner Bros. doesn’t want you to twiddle your thumbs until then, so they’ve taken to Instagram and released six fresh clips from the film. These include some bits we’ve seen before, but also some intriguing new material. These brief clips also help establish the grittier tone that co-writer/director Todd Phillips has gone for here. We’ve been hearing quite a bit lately about the inspiration behind Joaquin Phoenix’s take on the most iconic villain of all time,

This past weekend’s Disney’s D23 Expo revealed a bounty hunter’s haul of fresh Star Wars information. We got The Mandalorian‘s first trailer and a batch of photos.

Bounty Hunting is a Complicated Profession in First Trailer for The Mandalorian
Just as Disney promised, the first trailer for the first-ever live-action Star Wars series is here. Disney’s D23 Expo delivered the goods, and now we’ve got a sense of what Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian Disney+ series will be like. The first reaction we had to watching the trailer was yes. There is but a single line of dialogue in the 93-seconds, and it comes courtesy of the great Werner Herzog: “Bounty hunting is a complicated profession,”
Disney Reveals The Mandalorian Poster at D23
Yesterday we wrote about some of the Star Wars reveals we were hoping to see at Disney’s D23 Expo that begins today. Even though the event hasn’t even kicked off yet (it begins in earnest this afternoon), the Mouse House has already given us some of the goods. We’ve now got our first look at the poster for the first-ever live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.
Angel Has Fallen‘s Director & a Former Assistant Director of the Secret Service Talk Riveting Realism
The latest in Gerard Butler’s Fallen series about secret service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is out in theaters today. This time, in Angel has Fallen, it’s Banning himself who is in trouble when he’s framed in an assassination attempt on President Trumbull (Morgan Freeman). On the run, he hides out with the father who abandoned him, Clay, played by Nick Nolte. The Credits spoke to director Ric Roman Waugh and technical advisor Mickey Nelson,
Edward Norton is a Detective With Tourette’s in First Motherless Brooklyn Trailer
As Heinz Ketchup told us in their ubiquitous ad campaigns of yesteryear, good things come to those who wait. Behold, the first trailer for Edward Norton’s two-decades-in-the-making Motherless Brooklyn, which he adapted from Jonathan Lethem’s 1999 novel. Norton is not only the writer/director but also stars as Lionel Essrog, a private detective in 1950s New York with Tourette’s syndrome. Essrog is thrust into a major case when his mentor and only friend,
The First Trailer for Amazon’s The Report is Riveting
Well, this looks downright terrific. Amazon Studios has released the first trailer for The Report, a political thriller starring Adam Driver (and a huge, awesome ensemble cast), written and directed by Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum, Contagion). This trailer zips right along and manages to be both immensely satisfying and deeply sad, simultaneously. That’s because the titular report refers to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA torture,
Joaquin Phoenix Explains What Made him Want to do Joker
Most people know by now that Joaquin Phoenix was, at one point, circling the character of Doctor Strange. While it’s hard to imagine Phoenix in that role now (Benedict Cumberbatch has been an excellent Sorcerer Supreme), Phoenix has the acting chops to play just about anyone he wants. So when the news broke that he was going to take on the most iconic villain role of all time, people were both enthused and a little shocked.
The Big Star Wars Questions the D23 Expo Could Answer
The Walt Disney Company is hosting their biannual D23 Expo this upcoming weekend in Anaheim. Like Comic-Con in San Diego, the D23 Expo is the place for big reveals, only these are projects solely from Disney, Pixar and Marvel. Those three studios produce more than enough, of course, to fuel a weekend full of happy surprises. We got a ton of Marvel news at Comic-Con this past July, and while there’s likely to be fresh information coming from D23 from Marvel and Pixar,
Now we Know Where Jon Snow Was Going in Final Game of Thrones Shot
The final shot in Game of Thrones took us all the way back to the beginning, only with a decidedly very different tone. Game of Thrones opened north of the wall, where the resurgent White Walkers were leaving gruesome clues (dead bodies and body parts) for the living. The final shot in the series was of Jon Snow (Kit Harington), north of the wall, heading into a future in which the White Walkers and their undead minions were dead.
Brad Pitt His Deep Space in Ad Astra‘s Gorgeous IMAX Trailer
If you’re not excited for James Gray’s sci-fi epic Ad Astra starring Brad Pitt, we suggest you board this particular shuttle. A new trailer for the film gives you plenty of reasons to be pumped up and suggests that you should probably see it in IMAX if you can. Gray, Pitt and the rest of the cast and crew have gone all-in on their space epic. It comes from an original script by Gray and writer Ethan Gross and follows Pitt’s Major Roy McBride,
It: Chapter Two Early Reactions Praise Gruesomely Ambitious Sequel & Standout Bill Hader
It: Chapter Two has now screened, which means all those early reactions are flooding online. Twitter, of course, is the central hive of first impressions, and we’ve compiled a bunch for you here. One of the things we’ve seen over and over is that Bill Hader is just really good in this film. This is…not at all surprising. The reactions are mostly positive and speak to the hugely ambitious scope of Andy Muschietti’s two-part It adaptation.
The Matrix 4 is a Reality! Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss & Lana Wachowski Returning
Time to take the red pill. While we’ve long thought that Warner Bros. would be rebooting The Matrix for a new generation, meaning, it would restart the seminal sci-fi franchise rather than carry on with the storyline that began with Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s game-changing 1999 film, we’re happy that that’s not the case. Variety reports that The Matrix 4 is the film Warner Bros. will be releasing,
The Official Title for the Next James Bond Film Revealed

The Trailer for Scott Cooper & Guillermo del Toro’s Antlers Looks Legitimately Terrifying
A creepy premise, a ton of talent on screen and behind the camera, and a ripping first trailer—yup, we’re excited about Antlers. Director Scott Cooper (Hostiles) and the great Guillermo del Toro (here as a producer and guiding spirit) have combined their talents to adapt Nick Antosca (Channel Zero)’s short story “The Quiet Boy.” The results, as far as what you’ll see in the trailer,
Watch The Dark Crystal‘s Cast Discuss Netflix’s Epic new Series
The anticipation for Netflix’s new series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is no joke. The combination of voice talent, the blend of practical effects (especially puppetry) and CGI, and the glimpses we’ve seen of the series thus far have created a groundswell of excitement. Now Netflix has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette that reveals stars Simon Pegg, Natalie Dormer, Taron Egerton, Jason Isaacs, and Executive Producer Lisa Henson talking about the ambitious new project.
Spider-Man: Far From Home Returning to Theaters With Extra Action Scene
Spider-Man is swinging back into theaters. Spider-Man: Far From Home, which became Sony’s top-grossing film of all time after topping Sam Mendes’ and Daniel Craig’s excellent Bond caper Skyfall (2012), is headed back to theaters over Labor Day weekend. Like Avengers: Endgame before it, Far From Home will come back boasting new footage. In this case, it’ll include a brand new action scene. What that scene is,
