Midsommar Trailer From Hereditary Director Teases a Sunlit Nightmare
Writer/director Ari Aster burst onto the scene with last year’s insanely scary Hereditary. What that film did for miniatures and sticking your head out of car windows to get some air, his new film Midsommar will likely do for summer festivals. The first trailer is here and it delivers the kind of thrills you’d expect from Aster, but in an entirely different setting and without the advantage of being able to hide his horrors in darkness.
Angelina Jolie is Back in First Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Teaser
Angelina Jolie is back on the big screen. The actress, producer, writer, and director is returning to the front for the first time since her 2015 film By the Sea. Jolie is reprising her role as the tortured, complex Sleeping Beauty villain in director Joachim Rønning’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and the first trailer delivers back to the mystical world of magical spells and embittered queens. In Mistress of Evil,
Here’s What Made Dany’s Assault on King’s Landing so Viscerally Terrifying
Director Miguel Sapochnik and cinematographer Fabian Wagner have worked together on four of Game of Thrones most ambitious episodes. The two teamed up for season 5’s skirmish with the Night King, “Hardhome,” season 6’s muddy epic “Battle of the Bastards,” this season’s Battle of Winterfell in “The Long Night,” and finally, last night’s shockingly horrific “The Bells.” While everyone had understandably assumed that the battle with the Night King would be the marquee war episode,
Jean Grey Breaks Bad in new Dark Phoenix Trailer
Daenerys Targaryen isn’t the only powerful women breaking bad these days. Over on the big screen, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner, Game of Thrones very own Sansa Stark!) is having a moment. The powerful telekinetic mutant and longstanding member of the X-Men (X-people) is headlining Simon Kinberg’s new film. This is so much Jean Grey’s film, they even dropped X-Men from the title. A new trailer brings us all the way back to the very first X-Men movie 20-years ago,
Game of Thrones Finale Trailer Teases the Aftermath of Dany’s Decision
In Game of Thrones penultimate episode, “Two Bells,” Daenerys Targaryen reduced King’s Landing to smoking rubble. It was a decision that marked her arrival—or better yet, descent—as the Mad Queen. The long arc of her character from captive to savior had finally come to rest at despot. She didn’t have to torch King’s Landing and murder innocents. She won the Last War was. The Iron Throne was her. Yet she did it anyway,
Godzilla: King of the Monsters Early Reactions Tease Colossal Kaiju Romp
Godzilla: King of the Monsters doesn’t open until May 31, but the embargo for spoiler-free reactions on social media was lifted for those who caught press screenings and premieres. The consensus seems to be this—King of the Monsters is an absolute blast.
We’ve grabbed a slew of Tweets and embedded them below. Directed by Mike Dougherty from a script he co-wrote with Zach Shields and Max Borenstein, King of the Monsters boasts a great cast,
Game of Thrones Recap: “The Bells” is Shockingly Brutal
The threat that Game of Thrones‘ writers, specifically co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, had been hinting at all season was finally paid off. Daenerys Targaryen revealed that she is not fit to rule the Seven Kingdoms. (Or, to look at it another way, she proved she is absolutely fit to rule the Seven Kingdoms, as despotically and ruthlessly as so many previous inhabitants of that uncomfortable looking chair have.) Despite a character arc that has seen her go from slave to savior,
One of Avengers: Endgame‘s Most Surprising Scenes is now Online
It really should go without saying but spoiler alert.
One of the most shocking character reveals in Avengers: Endgame was actually quite lovely. While the film is bursting with great cameos, character callbacks and massively epic moments, sometimes the best part of an Avengers movie is when these wacky superheroes get to stop fighting for a moment and actually talk. This is when we actually get to know them as people.
Get to Know Game of Thrones Lethal Mercenary Harry Strickland
It would be funny—not ha ha funny, but bitterly funny—if it turned out the biggest threat to the seven kingdoms ends up being humans after all. For eight seasons Game of Thrones has been saying that all the palace intrigue and bloody chess playing for the Iron Throne was a joke compared to the existence of the Night King. This former man-turned-super weapon was the existential threat that made all that noxious human behavior look as petty and absurd as it really was.
Behold the Chilling, Thrilling Trailer for IT: Chapter Two
Our first look at IT: Chapter Two is here, and it turns out Bill Skarsgård wasn’t lying when he said Pennywise was going to be even more vicious. We’re back in Derry, Maine, 27-years after the events in IT, and our Loser’s Club members are all grown up. Director Andy Muschietti and screenwriter Gary Dauberman have tackled adapting the second half of Stephen King’s novel, which pits Pennywise against his old enemies for their epic,
Prepare Yourself for an Even More Vicious Pennywise in IT: Chapter Two
In a little while we’ll be sharing the first trailer for Andy Muschietti’s IT: Chapter Two.
We already know that the second installment of Muschietti’s adaptation of Stephen King’s seminal novel required a possibly record-setting amount of blood. At least this was according to one of the film’s stars, Jessica Chastain, who plays the grown-up Beverly Marsh. Chastain appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this past March and shared some of the film’s bloody details.
Here’s When Avengers: Endgame is Coming to Disney +
You won’t have to wait too long to see Avengers: Endgame on Disney +. Considering the fact that film is currently being seen in theaters at a rate that would suggest it’s the only source of oxygen in any city or town it’s playing in, Endgame won’t be leaving the multiplex anytime soon. Yet Adam Vary of Buzzfeed News found a release date for when Endgame will stream on Disney + in an earnings report.
New Game of Thrones Photos Tease Harry Strickland & the Golden Company
There are but two (two!) episodes of Game of Thrones remaining. The Great War has come and gone, and now only the Last War (unlikely) remains. Dany has but a single dragon left. Her relationship with Jon is frayed. Tyrion hasn’t made a good decision since spring (you know how long winters last in Westeros). The survivors of the war with the Night King are exhausted. Everything in the Seven Kingdoms is,
The First Teaser for HBO’s Watchmen is Extremely Satisfying
“We are no one. We are everyone. And we are invisible.”
So begins the absolutely ripping teaser for HBO’s upcoming Watchmen, created by The Leftovers‘ Damon Lindelof and based on one of the most iconic graphic novels of all time. Lovers of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ game-changing comic (of which I am one) might find themselves cautiously enthused about this project. When word spread that Lindelof wasn’t adapting the graphic novel per se,
The Bespoke Technology That Made Netflix’s Black Mirror: Bandersnatch Possible
Sugar puffs or frosties? Yell at dad or pour tea all over a keyboard? By now, the audience choices and subsequent on-screen fallout possibilities in Netflix’s first interactive film for adults, Bandersnatch, have been well documented across the web.

Avengers: Endgame‘s Editor Came up With the Film’s Most Iconic Line
All the spoiler alerts, right here.
So you’ve seen Avengers: Endgame, yes? Great. Now we can discuss the film’s best line. It also doubled as the moment that fans had been waiting for since Thanos snapped half the universe to dust in Infinity War. The line came in the climatic, MCU-shaking final battle with the Mad Titan. At this point in the film, we’d already lost Black Widow,
A Whole new Generation of Star Wars Films Begins in 2022
While you wait for J.J. Abrams Stars Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to hit theaters this December 20, Disney is hard at work expanding the galaxy. A new Star Wars saga will begin in 2022, although the details are being kept in the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine. Are these three films a new trilogy? Are they going to be one-offs (unlikely, but not impossible)? Who’s making them? What are they about?
Spider-Man: Far From Home Director Confirms Multiverse Coming to MCU
Avengers: Endgame forever altered the landscape of the MCU in myriad ways. (Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen the film yet.) Peter Parker (Tom Holland)’s trip abroad in Far From Home will be upended by more than just Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). The new trailer confirmed that Far From Home will deal directly with the aftermath of Endgame, both in who was lost and what the world—or should we say,
Finding the Funny With Long Shot Director Jonathan Levine & Actress June Diane Raphael
Long Shot stars Charlize Theron as Charlotte, an elegant, poised, hyper-competent Secretary of State who wants to run for President and Seth Rogen as Fred, an awkward, shlumpy, but principled journalist. Charlotte hires Fred to help write speeches that will reveal her warmer, more accessible side. It is romantic, it is funny, and it is surprisingly sweet. In an interview with The Credits, director Jonathan Levine and June Diane Raphael,
