New Captain Marvel Images Reveal Alien Heavies
Still reeling from Captain Marvel‘s first trailer? Us too. Finally seeing Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers, better known throughout the Marvel canon as Captain Marvel, was a joy. The trailer was a just a taste of what’s to come, and left out most of the film’s heavies (including Lee Pace’s Ronan, the big bad from the first Guardians of the Galaxy), but what a taste it was.
Behold the First Captain Marvel Trailer
Marvel has just dropped the first trailer for Captain Marvel, and the now the Internet can proceed to collective lose their marbles.

Following Alec Baldwin’s departure from Joker due to a scheduling conflict, the role of Batman’s dad, Thomas Wayne, has been a big question mark. We finally have an answer to the riddle as ComicBook.com reports Brett Cullen will play the elder Wayne. Cullen is no stranger to Gotham as he played a Congressman in The Dark Knight Rises.
Cullen has several impressive credits to his name having appeared in Ghost Rider,
Halloween Abandoned a Plan to Re-Shoot the Original Ending
We have already been raving about the impressively executed new Halloween, but the more we learn about it, the more amazing this project becomes. The David Gordon Green sequel to the 1978 original nails an incredible balancing act. This is the reboot that all reboots aspire to be. It manages to recall favorite moments from the original without being a remake, there’s a juicy new storyline here, and it will almost certainly find new fans who weren’t already introduced to the franchise.
Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt Give ‘Hats Off’ to the Jungle Cruise Crew
This concludes filming of the Jungle Cruise. Please gather all of your belongings, watch your step, and thank your crew. Filming wrapped on Disney’s next theme park ride inspired adventure, and actors Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt took a moment on Twitter to thank the team that helped their canoe sail smoothly. All of the behind the scenes folks got applause and a literal ‘hats off’ from the stars.
This New Mary Poppins Returns Trailer is What the World Needs Right Now
We could all use a little Mary Poppins in our lives right now. This is precisely what we’re getting in a new trailer from Walt Disney Studios, in which the wondrous Emily Blunt stars as the titular magical Mary, who in Mary Poppins Returns arrives with the equally wondrous Lin-Manuel Miranda as the lamplighter Jack. The two megawatt stars front Rob Marshall’s follow-up to the 1964 classic, with Mary returning to help out a new generation of the Banks family after they’ve suffered a terrible loss.
Watch Claire Foy’s Mesmerizing Transformation in the Second The Girl in the Spider’s Web Trailer
We already know Claire Foy is a hugely talented actress. While making herself nearly a household name by playing Queen Elizabeth in Netflix’s brilliant The Crown, Foy has proven again and again she can disappear into a role. (Wait until you see her scene-stealing performance as Janet Armstrong in Damien Chazelle’s brilliant space drama First Man.) With that said, it’s still a delicious jolt to see her Lisbeth Salander,
Todd Phillips Shares First Image of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker
With a single word—”Arthur”—Todd Phillips has delivered our first look at Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker. You’ll notice no face paint, no green hair, and no massive scars giving him his iconic clown’s grin. Before you start to complain that this does not look like the Joker you’ve come to expect, remember that Phillips’ film is both an origin story and a character study. While most modern audiences have a strong, strong preference for Heath Ledger’s iconic performance in The Dark Knight,
TIFF 2018: The Tender Fragility of the Boy Erased Score
Boy Erased is a shattering portrayal of a family fractured by a challenge to their stringent religious beliefs. Based on the memoir by Garrard Conley, Lucas Hedges plays Jared, a young man from a religious family who begins to realize he is gay. Jared’s parents send him to a church-sanctioned conversion therapy camp where he struggles to find acceptance even within. Hedges’ performance is fragile and vulnerable, which makes many of the story’s events difficult to watch.
Host or Human? Aaron Paul Joins Season 3 of Westworld
Aaron Paul is heading west once more. According to Deadline, the Breaking Bad and The Path star has landed a spot on season 3 of Westworld. Details are scarce about the role, including if Paul’s character will be human, host, or something in between. He is, however, expected to be a series regular which means we’ll have plenty of time to find out everything about him.
My theory on who he might be is wrapped up in season 2 spoilers,
TIFF 2018: The Front Runner Composer Rob Simonsen on Scoring a Political Upheaval
Jason Reitman’s The Front Runner centers on Gary Hart (Hugh Jackman)’s doomed 1988 presidential campaign, undone by the candidate’s extramarital affairs and a media landscape shifting beneath his feet. The film plunges you into the fevered weeks when Hart’s campaign unravels, seemingly hour by hour, as the talented senator refuses to face the reality of his actions and his staff is left scrambling to play defense.
You’ll likely be too caught up in the drama (and marveling at a time when a politicians’ infidelities were career-enders) to notice just what composer Rob Simonsen‘s score is doing,
Your Nominees Cheat Sheet for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards
Television was once considered a more commonplace form of entertainment than movies. Cinema held the prestige and TV was focused on quantity for more regular consumption. Those days are no longer. Television is now achieving film quality programming, often on tighter schedules and lower budgets than it’s theatrical relative. The increase in excellent programming is clearly represented in the nominees for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards.
Shows like Ozark and Godless that are dark and daring grabbed our attention.
TIFF 2018: The Time-Altering Superpower of the Widows Editor
Oscar-nominated editor Joe Walker has spent a lot of time thinking about time. Our perception of time may change over the course of our lives, but in truth, it’s always experienced forwards. One thing happens after another and there is no way (yet) to go back. In Walker’s movies, however, time is a tool he can use to manipulate a story. When does a character know something? Is there a secret in the past that explains the present?
Sabrina Celebrates Her 16th Birthday in First Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Trailer
Birthdays are apparently a big deal among the Spellman clan. The first poster and teaser for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina feature the teenage witch celebrating another trip around the sun. Her party has the normal things all birthday parties do. Cake, dancing, and a horned demon that everyone worships.
Ok, maybe that last part is a little unusual. In fact, there’s a lot of unique happenings in the first look at the Riverdale spinoff.
Solo: A Star Wars Story Deleted Scene Features a Callback to 1977 Original
The best thing about a big movie like Solo coming out on digital download and Blu-ray are the extras. Yes, seeing the film again is the main point, but it’s all the behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, director commentary and gag reels that give the movie lover the most bang for their buck. With Solo: A Star Wars Story coming home this month, you can expect a whole lot of juicy extras to enjoy.
TIFF 2018: The Sister Brothers Director & Co-Writer on Their Funny, Soulful Western
When Patrick DeWitt’s novel “The Sisters Brothers” was published in 2011, something new was afoot in its pages. A bloody western set during the gold rush, it had everything you’d expect; gunfights, whiskey, brothels, and ne’er-do-wells of all stripes lusting after the riches buried in the rivers and mountains of California. These genre tropes, expertly handled by DeWitt, were the grimy, gritty package in which he delivered the story’s real gold— the titular Sister brothers and their endless,
Bradley Cooper Gets Personal in A Star is Born
Writer/director/star Bradley Cooper’s first stop on a nationwide series of A Star is Born screenings was in Washington D.C., where he answered questions from American Film Institute founder George Stevens, Jr., and the audience. Since then, the film has made its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival to wowed critics and enthused fans. “The most nourishing aspect of promoting a movie is just going to the various cities around the country and talk to people who are willing to sit through this movie and talk to me.
