Todd Phillips Shares First Look at Zazie Beetz in Joker

This past Friday we shared the first look at Joaquin Phoenix in clown paint in Todd Phillips upcoming Joker. Needless to say, there is immense interest in Phoenix’s turn as Gotham’s Clown Prince of Chaos, and our first look at him leaves us feeling giddy with excitement. Phoenix looks appropriately unhinged, yet both his face paint and his demeanor look like a fresh approach to the most iconic villain of all time,

White Boy Rick Director Yann Demange on Capturing Detroit’s Decline With Fresh Eyes

Detroit, the most American of cities, home of Ford and Motown, had by 1984 been, in many ways, been abandoned by America. It took an outsider, Paris-born, London raised director Yann Demange, to see this American story with fresh eyes and bring it to the screen in White Boy Rick.

“I didn’t know the history of Detroit. I had just moved to America. I was blown away as I read about the history of the most prosperous city;

Joaquin Phoenix Cracks a Smile in Joker Makeup

Earlier this week we were introduced to Arthur Fleck. He looks mild-mannered and slightly disheveled with his hair being the wildest thing about him. It was difficult to imagine that this humble looking man harbors a monster inside. Arthur will, of course, transform into the Joker for the Joaquin helmed character study. Now, director Todd Phillips has revealed the first look at Arthur in full makeup and the short video gives us a few clues.

Eddie Brock Probes Dr. Drake About the Life Foundation’s Ethics in First Venom Clip

As we wrote earlier today, IGN went on the set of Venom to find out the answers to some of our most burning questions. How did the VFX team transform Tom Hardy into the tentacled creature? How do the symbiotes get to our planet? And possibly most interestingly, what is the deal with the Life Foundation? Turns out, the saintly scientists aren’t what they seem. They are the culprits behind harvesting alien life forms and are covering up some more sinister activities.

Venom Has a New Explanation for How the Symbiotes Come to Earth

When the first trailer for Venom landed, we were curious about the way in which Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) would come into contact with the symbiote that transforms him into a superhuman. Peter Parker was the main culprit for bringing the alien lifeform to Earth, but Spider-Man is absent from this iteration. IGN went straight to the source to ask VFX supervisor Paul Franklin what is up with the intergalactic goo.

How The House With a Clock in Its Walls was Actually Built

Horror master Eli Roth, known for directing The Hostel and Cabin Fever series, trades gore for wonder in his newest work, a PG adaptation of John Bellairs’ 1973 YA novel, The House With a Clock in Its Walls. Starring Jack Black as Uncle Jonathan, a self-proclaimed warlock, and Cate Blanchett as his sharp, competent witch neighbor, Florence Zimmerman, the plot of House and the fate of its young protagonist,

Chris Hemsworth Shares First Men in Black Set Photo With Tessa Thompson

The Men in Black reboot has all the ingredients you could possibly want. It’s got a great director in Straight Outta Compton‘s F. Gary Gray, it’s got a script from two very good scribes in Iron Man‘s Matt Halloway and Art Marcum, and it’s got two leads with charisma to spare—Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth. These two made such sizzling onscreen partners in Thor: Ragnarok that fans were just hoping to see them paired up again in a future Thor installment,

Jordan Peele Crosses Over Into The Twilight Zone

If it feels as though you may have been transported to another dimension, it’s possible that you have. Jordan Peele has once more unlocked the door to the Twilight Zone and any number of strange and wonderful things are soon to unfold. As one of the strongest contemporary writers working right now, Peele has taken the mantle of one of the best written shows in TV history. Ever since CBS announced Peele’s involvement in the revival of the sci-fi series,

Watch the VFX Magic Behind the Battle Between T’Challa and Killmonger in Black Panther

A new VFX reel reveals the way in which human performance and technology intersect in Black Panther. Isn’t that really what Wakanda is all about? Shuri (Letitia Wright) designed the amazing vibranium powered suits to be responsive to the wearer’s every need. Turns out that’s what the VFX artists are doing in real life. DNEG peels back the digital curtain on the incredible work they did in that climactic fight scene between T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Killmonger (Michael B.

New Ralph Breaks the Internet Trailer Reveals Ralph and Vanellope’s Mission

I am almost to the point where I need to admit that Ralph Breaks the Internet may be too much for me. There have been two previous trailers released and I have fallen into uncontrollable laughter to the point that I am gasping for breath. In the teaser, there was that hilariously morbid game of overfeeding the cute animals who eventually pop. Then there was the perfect personification of the annoying search engine autofill.

Cary Fukunaga is Your Bond 25 Director

At long last, Bond 25 has its director. The uber-talented Cary Fukunaga is replacing Danny Boyle for the 25th installment of the James Bond franchise. The man behind Beasts of No Nation and the creative force who helmed True Detective‘s excellent first season will be leading Daniel Craig’s legendary MI6 super spy for what might be his last turn in the role. If you’re wondering whether Fukunaga’s involvement means that the next Bond might be everyone’s choice,

LeBron James to Star in Space Jam Remake

There are few things in life that’ll please just about everybody, but we’re going to go out on a limb and say this might be one of them. NBA legend and all-around top-notch human being LeBron James will be starring in a remake of Space Jam from Random Acts of Flyness creator Terence Nance and produced by Black Panther writer/director Ryan Coogler.

Can you Spot the Hidden Clue in this Cryptic Avengers 4 set Photo?

You’ve got to hand it to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 directors Joe and Anthony Russo; they sure know how to drive fans insane. The Russo Brothers have dropped a brand new photo from the set of Avengers 4, with the crazy-making caption “Look hard…”, inviting all of us to scour the shot for something, anything, that would give us a clue about the upcoming final film in MCU’s phase 3.

AMC Has Plans to Turn The Walking Dead Into a Major Franchise

The Walking Dead is as difficult to put down as the walkers themselves. In fact, it seems to be spreading. Andrew Lincoln is exiting the original series, but that still isn’t the kill shot that will put this franchise down. And why should it? So many strong characters have emerged over the course of the series. Rick would never have made it this far without Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) or Carol (Melissa McBride).

Listen to John Carpenter’s Revamped Halloween Theme

We caught the midnight screening of Halloween at the Toronto Film Festival and we loved it. Loved. It. Writer/director David Gordon Green and his co-writers Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley have delivered a delicious, terrifying coda to the practically mythical clash between Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney). The slasher flick is both a loving tribute to John Carpenter’s iconic original and a worthy follow-up.

The Grinch Enlists His Pets in a Holiday Snatching Scheme

The Grinch may be stealing Christmas, but his pets are going to be stealing the show. The latest trailer for Illumination Animation’s new adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch shows off two important animal associates. Max the dog is always a crowd pleaser, but our favorite green grump has a new yak sidekick. They’re adorable and properly annoy the Grinch, which are all pluses.

The Grinch may have a heart two sizes too small,

Loki and Scarlet Witch Might Kick off Marvel’s Original Programming on Disney Streaming

Jokester Loki appears to have a new trick up his sleeve. Thor’s adopted brother is plotting a jump from the movie screen to your TV, according to Variety. Disney plans to house their biggest properties on their streaming service, which means you can binge all ten years of Marvel films and every Star Wars adventure. They also intend to expand into original programming and that means that some of the Avengers are making the move.

First Man Blasts off in Riveting new Trailer

On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy gave what would be one of the most iconic speeches in American history. Speaking at Rice University just six weeks after the Soviet Union’s Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to reach space, Kennedy delivered his speech in support of NASA’s fledgling Apollo program. In a riveting new trailer for Damien Chazelle’s First Man, Kennedy’s speech is the backdrop for the action on screen,

Real Navy Jets and Aviators Will Satiate Top Gun: Maverick‘s Need for Speed

The Navy may be as excited about the upcoming Top Gun remake as the fans.

“Much like the first film, these are going to be real jets and real U.S. Naval aviators flying in these scenes,” Naval Air Forces spokesman Commander Ronald Flanders told The Credits. “We’re excited about it.”

The movie is one of only two films currently supported by the Navy’s Hollywood office —  and the production underwent a lengthy approval process to obtain a production assistance agreement that outlines how the Navy will support the film,

Saying Goodbye to Game of Thrones and Preparing for Spinoffs set 5,000 Years Earlier

We didn’t get a single new episode of Game of Thrones in 2018, but it’s ever-present in our hearts and minds. After winning Best Drama Series at last night’s Emmys the waterworks have started. (You can read our interveiw with GoT‘s Emmy-nominated sound designer here.) It’s setting in we really only have one more season in Westeros. It turns out that the cast is in as much mourning as their fans.
