The First Hellboy Clip has Arrived
The first official Hellboy clip is here. Professor Bruttenholm (Ian McShane) has an intriguing offer for his adopted son from hell (David Harbour)—a mission to The Osiris Club. We’ve gotten a better sense of how director Neil Marshall’s Hellboy is blazing its own trail via the trailers. Guillermo del Toro’s beloved two Hellboy films meant Marshall and his star Harbour had their work cut out for them. From what we’ve seen,...
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Photos Highlight Robbie, DiCaprio & Pitt
We’ve got our first look at Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which boasts a phenomenally talented cast and a setting ripe for his particular talents. The story takes place in 1969 in Southern California and is centered on Leonardo DiCaprio‘s fading star Rick Dalton and his stunt double, Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth. The two performers happen to live next door to star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), thus putting them in proximity to the most famous murders in American history...
Christopher Nolan Casts John David Washington in Mysterious Next Film
What do you think when you hear the term “event film”? Mega superhero blockbuster like Avengers: Endgame? A star-studded movie from an acclaimed director like Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? Something else entirely? We ask because that is how Christopher Nolan’s mysterious new film is being described. Variety reports that Nolan has cast BlacKkKlansman star John David Washington in his next project. ...
Groove to the First Trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
The first glimpse at Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is here. While the trailer doesn’t deliver much by the way of the storyline, it does reveal a few of our key players. There are Leonardo DiCaprio‘s fading star Rick Dalton and his stunt double, Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth. There’s an especially fun sequence in which Booth fights none other than Bruce Lee (Mike Moh) after getting some unhelpful advice from the martial arts legend...
Netflix Releases Cryptic Teaser for Stranger Things Season 3
“It’s almost feeding time.” This is how the official Stranger Things Twitter feed labeled the season 3 teaser they’ve just released, and you’ll immediately understand why. For those of us who live in New York City, this teaser hits a little too close to home:

The First Toy Story 4 Trailer Asks Life’s Deepest Questions
Cinema has bridged cultural gaps and given a voice to generations. It has touched the depths of our fears and the limits of our imagination. It can challenge, empower, and change minds. With all that movies have given us, I am prepared to make this bold statement without reservation. There will never be a film that asks deeper questions than the Toy Story series.
Don’t @ me.
Toy Story 4 promises to be another heart-wrenching story of love and loss...
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.
As for Goose,...
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. And now we know just what it takes to make a series in which dragons routinely burn people alive. The short answer is a record-breaking number of fire stunts.
While Game of Thrones boasts some of TV’s best CGI,...
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, Dr. Vivienne Graham explains the behavior is intended to intimidate...
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. The cast is outrageous, ...
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. When HBO revealed the final season would be a mere six episodes long,...
The Secret Weapons That May Be Hiding in the Avengers: Endgame Trailer
It is Avengers mania this week with a new poster and a new trailer and tons of new clues to dissect. With the magnificent arrival of Captain Marvel, we are ready for the finale of the biggest MCU phase yet.
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...
