James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad Adding Nathan Fillion & Possibly Taika Waititi
The cast for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad keeps getting better and better. Deadline reports that Nathan Fillion is joining Gunn’s star-studded cast in an unknown role. The two have worked together a bunch, with Fillion doing voice work for Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy (he played an inmate at the prison the Guardians are in), played the Holy Avenger in Gunn’s 2010 Super and Bill Pardy in Gunn’s 2006 horror/comedy Slither. ...
Netflix’s Marianne Looks Deliciously Creepy
There is something sublime happening with Netflix’s new French horror series Marianne, as the first trailer attests. The premise is wonderful; a famous novelist is battling a soul-stealing witch by writing books. The thing is, the writer is having trouble figuring out how the protagonist of her novel, Lizzie, is going to vanquish the witch. Unless she can come up with that ending, the actual witch is going to make life a living hell for her.
For those of you who devoured Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and want more, ...

See the Creation of Avengers: Endgame‘s Final Battle With Thanos
With Avengers: Endgame available on Blu-ray and digital download, we can now finally see just how the Russo Brothers and their huge cast and crew managed to pull off the biggest film in history. Marvel has just released a new video that details how they created the climactic final battle with Thanos, which completely changed the face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Everything about Venom 2 keeps getting better and better. Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood cinematographer Robert Richardson has joined director Andy Serkis’s sequel.

Richardson has not only shot six films with Tarantino,...
Breaking Down the new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Footage
So we’ve all watched the new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker teaser a few dozen times. Excellent. Now it’s time to break down the new footage. While everyone is justifiably talking about that wild last shot of Dark Rey in the Sith-like robes brandishing the double-bladed red lightsaber, there’s more to parse than just Rey potentially breaking bad.
The new teaser was revealed at Disney’s D23 Expo this past weekend. It begins with a sequence of some of the most iconic shots from the previous installments of the epic Skywalker saga...

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.

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.

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, Frank Minna (Bruce Willis), a small-time mobster,...
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, which was a very dispiriting chapter in American history...
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.
With Joker premiering next week at the Venice Film Festival and opening wide on October 4,...

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...
