Harry Potter Actress Miranda Richardson Joins Game of Thrones Prequel
Harry Potter‘s sinister journalist Rita Skeeter has a new assignment—she’s headed to Westeros. Okay, this isn’t entirely accurate (not that Rita is above mangling the facts)—Rita Skeeter actress Miranda Richardson will be in the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel. TV Line had the scoop, which confirms her joining the top-secret prequel. There’s no word yet on who she’ll play.
The GoT prequel will be set thousands of years before the events in Westeros featured in the current series.
Find 6 Iron Thrones Around the Globe in Game of Thrones Fan Challenge
The Game of Thrones marketing department is fully warging out. The juggernaut HBO series has recently released featurettes that highlight the work of the prosthetics and stunt departments, revealing how actors are turned into White Walkers or set on fire, depending upon the demands of the script that day. Now, a new phase of GoT‘s #ForTheThrone campaign challenges fans to find six actual Iron Thrones hidden around the world.
Captain Marvel VFX Reel Highlights Crazy Cat & Skrull Transformations
If there was one defining theme to Captain Marvel‘s visual effects, it was transformation. Many of the characters (spoiler alert)—including Goose the cat—are not what they appear. That’s most evident in the film’s would-be bad guys, the Skrulls. Their main ability is to transform themselves into any person (or object, apparently) they see. This could be an old lady on a train, a surfer, or Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson.
Avengers: Infinity War Co-Writer Says it Almost Didn’t End That Way
Cliffhangers are losing their power on TV shows. Something shocking may happen, but bingeing has allowed us to fly straight to the resolution in the next episode. Movies, however, are picking up that power. One of the most shocking cliffhangers in a film franchise was irrefutably Avengers: Infinity War.
A lot of momentum was building before the Avengers finally faced off with Thanos. A decade of character development and strength in numbers resulted in one of the biggest defeats in movie history.
Marvel has Wisely Kept Avengers: Endgame Details Limited
Quick, what do you know for sure about Avengers: Endgame from the trailers? We broke down the last (and apparently “final”) trailer here. There was some great stuff in there! The new suits, the new haircuts, the new team member (Captain Marvel, obviously)—but not much by way of actual narrative. We speculated on what those new suits might mean. We followed the rest of the internet’s lead in wondering whether Hawkeye’s daughter is,
New Game of Thrones Video Highlights the Insane Fire Stunts
We are a mere few weeks away from the April 14 season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones. We know how long each episode is. We know how long it takes to turn an actor into a White Walker.

It’s a Colossal Scrum in new Godzilla: King of the Monsters Trailer
When the monsters rise, we are completely at their mercy. A new Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer plays on the beauty and terror of nature.
Any new natural phenomenon we don’t understand can be beautiful until the destructive implications are revealed. A magnificent “light show” is the source of a gorgeous blue glow, but its source is potentially deadly. As a group of scientists look on in wonder,
Leonardo DiCaprio Shares Poster for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino‘s films are always events. The meticulous writer/director takes his time from one movie to the next, drafting his singular scripts and assembling his incredible casts over the course of years. His next film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, could be the auteur’s most perfect combination of era, story, and cast yet. The film is set in Los Angeles during the horrific Manson Family Murders in 1969.
Wonder Woman 1984 Producer Describes Movie as a Standalone Film
Sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots. There are a lot of ways to continue a franchise, but Wonder Woman 1984 is none of these. Sure, it is a follow up to the hugely popular introduction of Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) and will feature the same stars, but the studio is apparently treating it as a standalone film.
The next film starring the Amazonian superhero will pick up 66 years after the first, but 35 years before present day.
Here are the Official Game of Thrones Episode Runtimes
In just under a month our long national nightmare will be over. Game of Thrones will be returning for its 8th and final season, with only six episodes until the battle between the living and the dead is resolved once and for all. While the trailer gave us plenty to think about, one thing we’ve long wanted to know is how long, exactly, these episodes are going to be.
The Secret Weapons That May Be Hiding in the Avengers: Endgame Trailer

We lost so many good members of the team in the snap, but Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) are strong supplements in this bleak time.
Captive State DP Pictures Chicago After Aliens
Director Rupert Wyatt took motion capture technology to the next level in 2011 with VFX-intensive Rise of the Planet of the Apes. For his new sci-fi movie Captive State (opening Friday, March 15), Wyatt and director of photography Alex Disenhof took a stripped-down approach, filming on the wintry streets of Chicago to conjure a near-future urban dystopia ruled by aliens. Ashton Sanders (Moonlight) plays the leader of a resistance movement,
How Highwaymen‘s Production Designer Recreated the Pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde
Production designer Michael Corenblith has a gift for recreating period films focused on real people including McDonald’s mogul Ray Kroc (The Founder), Walt Disney (Saving Mr. Banks), Davey Crockett (The Alamo) and astronaut Jim Lovell (Apollo 13). Now comes The Highwaymen. Opening Friday [March 15] and streaming March 31, the film casts Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson as real-life Texas Rangers Frank Hamer and Maney Gault.

The Remaining Avengers Unite in New Endgame Poster
I know we just met you and this may seem crazy, but Captain Marvel, would you make us the happiest superheroes in the galaxy and join the Avengers?

New Suits & a Desperate Mission Fuel new Avengers: Endgame Trailer
“God it seems like a thousand years ago I fought my way out of that cave, became Iron Man and realized I loved you.” This is, of course, Tony Stark, talking to Pepper Pots. “I know we said no more surprises, but, I was really hoping to pull off one last one.” Only Tony’s talking to her via a message in a bottle, so to speak. That bottle is the spaceship he’s gotten himself on after nearly being killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.
Us Has a Creepy Cool Soundtrack and Unforgettable Remix
We saw Us at SXSW and it is an insane and scary mind twister that is satisfying in every way – down to the music. Remember back to our favorite Christmas present of waking up and watching the very first trailer? It opened with the Wilson family singing along to the Luniz classic “I Got 5 On It” on their way to the beach. The jam will officially be featured on the movie’s soundtrack along with some other great hits.
Kevin Smith Kept that Captain Marvel Stan Lee Cameo Secret for Months

As we see more and more of the superhero adventures unfold, there are more ways to connect it all together. Captain Marvel is no exception with a whole host of Easter Eggs and spicy post-credits content. One of our favorite recurring moments are Marvel legend Stan Lee’s infamous cameos in each of the films.
Captain Marvel Almost had a Thor: Ragnarok Related Post-Credits Scene
You’ve likely already digested Captain Marvel‘s two post-credits scenes. (Spoiler alert). The first and most important showed us the moment when Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson, obviously) shows up in Avengers: Endgame. The brief but utterly compelling scene gave us Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), War Machine (Don Cheadle), and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) trying to figure out who was on the other end of Nick Fury (Samuel L.
