The First Trailer for Cats Reveals Wildly Ambitious VFX Musical

While Tom Hooper’s Cats is based on the legendary, long-running Broadway musical, you will not be watching stars made up to look like cats. Hooper has instead deployed the latest performance-capture technology to turn his star-studded cast into cats. This means the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Judi Dench, and James Corden will be felines. Their faces will be recognizable, but instead of having pasted whiskers and painted cat noses,

HBO’s His Darkest Materials Trailer Roars at SDCC

With Game of Thrones now officially over (with a record-breaking 32 Emmy nominations for its final season), HBO is officially moving into their post-Thrones programming. One of their new series with huge potential is their adaptation of Philip Pullman’s fantasy series His Dark Materials. They’ve debuted the first trailer at San Diego Comic-Con, and it sure looks lush, bold, and beautifully done.

Tom Cruise Returns to the Cockpit in Top Gun: Maverick Trailer

We published a story way back last September about how Top Gun: Maverick would be utilizing some of the Navy’s most technologically advanced fighter jets. We spoke to Naval Air Forces spokesman Commander Ronald Flanders, who told us, “Much like the first film, these are going to be real jets and real U.S. Naval aviators flying in these scenes. We’re excited about it.” Flanders added that the film “captured the most advanced carrier aircraft.”

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker‘s Sith Trooper Introduced at SDCC

As we wrote last week, there’s going to be a new kind of Stormtrooper in J.J Abrams’ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Enter the Sith Trooper, which boasts blood-red armor and a black blaster. Also, a name that conjures the galaxy’s greatest villains, from Darth Vader to Count Dooku to Darth Maul. The Sith Trooper looks a bit like a mash-up of the new designs for Stormtroopers introduced in Abrams’

Ad Astra‘s Second Trailer Reveals Brad Pitt’s Epic Sci-Fi Drama

Writer/director James Gray is a man who makes very good films, and he takes his time on each one. Two Lovers (2008), The Immigrant (2013) and The Lost City of Z (2016) couldn’t have been more different from one another, yet each bore the mark of Gray’s meticulous craft. With Ad Astra, which he co-wrote with Ethan Gross, Gray has turned his attention to the great beyond,

Henry Cavill’s on a Horse in new Image From The Witcher

The last time we checked in on Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), he was a man without a horse. Netflix released a slew of images from their upcoming adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy series The Witcher, but none included the most beloved character of all—Roach the horse. Well, Netflix heard our cries of anguish and they delivered. Behold, Geralt and his loyal companion!

You begged, we delivered. Here’s your first look at Roach!

The 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced, and HBO’s epic series, which came to a close this past May 19, hauled in a historic 32 nominations, breaking NYPD Blue‘s record for most noms in a single season.

Chris Evans Leads Excellent Cast in Netflix’s The Red Sea Diving Resort

Now that Chris Evans has officially handed off his shield as Captain America, we’ll be seeing him in fresh roles in new films. We’ve already gotten a peak at one of his upcoming projects, Rian Johnson’s murder mystery ensemble film Knives Out. That movie looks like an absolute hoot. Now a new trailer from Netflix reveals another of Evans’ upcoming movies, The Red Sea Diving Resort. Inspired by a true story,

Taika Waititi Returning to Write & Direct Thor 4

Today in good news, Taika Waititi is returning to write and direct a follow-up to his fantastic 2017 Marvel entry Thor: Ragnarok. The Hollywood Reporter broke the story that the multi-talented Waititi has inked a deal to keep building on his Thor franchise-reshaping Ragnarok, which took advantage of Chris Hemsworth’s comedic chops and turned his previously more serious Asgardian God of Thunder into one of Marvel’s funniest leading men.

Joker Might be Heading to the Venice Film Festival

While lots of film lovers and writers have their eyes on this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, there’s some interesting news concerning the Venice Film Festival. Variety reports that Todd Phillips‘ Joker might be headed to the fest. We recently learned that film is a true original, meaning, it’s not based on any pre-existing comic book storylines. Sending the film to Venice would further mark Joker as a film with serious awards season potential.

Did Marvel Just Tease The Eternals Reveal at Comic-Con?

Now Marvel Entertainment just shot off this tweet that encourages us to get to know who The Eternals are. Could they be prepping us for the reveal of The Eternals movie at Comic-Con? It’s certainly a distinct possibility.

Zachary Levi Predicts Battle With Dwayne Johnson in Shazam! 3

When Shazam! debuted this past April, it was evident that Warner Bros. had something sizzling with the lovable kid-turned-superhero story. David F. Sandberg’s film was a jolt (pun intended) of humor, heart, and excitement for Warner Bros. and their DCEU. The story centered on teenage foster kid Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel), whose transformation into the titular adult superhero delighted audiences and critics alike. Billy meets a mysterious wizard (Djimon Hounsou) who tells him all he needs to do is shout one word—SHAZAM!—to turn into the titular caped superhero (Zachary Levi).

Quentin Tarantino Discusses his Potential Star Trek Film

Quentin Tarantino has long said that his tenth film would be his last. That means his upcoming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his penultimate movie, and we’ll only have the auteur around for one final movie after that. That’s sort of depressing, is it not?

It’s wonderful to be able to set the terms of your own career in such a way, and Tarantino has had, objectively,

John Krasinski has Begun Filming A Quiet Place: Part II

It’s official—John Krasinski has started filming the sequel to his 2018 stunner A Quiet Place. There’s some good news for you folks who have somehow still not seen A Quiet Place—it’s currently streaming on Hulu. If you’re in that camp, you’ll want to stop reading now.

Krasinski did nearly everything for the original film. He was the co-writer/director/and co-star of that film. Now, however (super late spoiler alert),

The First The King’s Man Teaser Trailer Reveals Kingsman Prequel

We’ve got our first look at director Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman prequel, cleverly titled The King’s Man, which takes us back before the venerable British spy agency was up and running. It’s something of a surprise to get a peek at The King‘s Man considering how quietly Vaughn and his team have been working on the prequel to his bonkers two previous films, 2017’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle and his 2014 breakout hit Kingsman: The Secret Service. 

The Farewell’s Writer/Director Lulu Wang on her Breakout Film

Narrative feature The Farewell, from writer/director Lulu Wang, is based on her own experience with her family dealing with what is called a “good lie.” As is Chinese tradition, they decide to keep grandmother Nai Nai in the dark about her diagnosis of terminal cancer.

Is Lashana Lynch the Next 007?

Best to take this news with a grain of salt until it’s official, but wow, this would be terrifically exciting news if it turned out to be true. Over the weekend the Daily Mail reported that the next 007 will be Captain Marvel star Lashana Lynch. We’re not going to reveal any of the spoilers the story details about Bond 25, but everyone on the internet has already been informed of this bombshell,

DiCaprio, Pitt, Robbie & Tarantino Talk Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

There has never, not once, been a Quentin Tarantino movie that had anything less than a stellar cast. Even his tightest, most claustrophobic films (The Hateful Eight took place almost entirely in a cabin) have had big, beautiful ensembles. When you think of a Tarantino cast, you often first think of Pulp Fiction, his 1994 game-changer that resurrected John Travolta’s career while also making huge stars of Samuel L.
