Tommy Wiseau Tackles an Iconic Scene from The Dark Knight

Which Joker is your favorite? The flamboyant and maniacal Caesar Romero or the cynical and sinister Jack Nicholson? Perhaps the brooding and unhinged Heath Ledger or the masochistic and mysterious Jared Leto? May we introduce another contender to your collage of clown criminals. Yes, of course, Joaquin Phoenix will soon be in the running, but not just yet. First, feast your eyes on this performance by Tommy Wiseau.

The Room star didn’t land a feature-length role of his own,

New Joker Image Reveals Joaquin Phoenix in a Full Clown Suit

Not since Jack Nicholson’s gleefully playful turn as the Joker in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman have we seen Gotham’s greatest villain dressed as an actual clown. Nicholson’s performance was one for the ages and looked likely to be the seminal Joker, that is until Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight hit theaters in 2008. That’s when Heath Ledger gave us a sadistic, surprisingly soulful Joker, one whose runny,

The Final Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Trailer Boasts Character Reveal

Dumbledore (Jude Law) is back to his cryptic counselor ways. The sage and powerful wizard usually knows more than he is letting on, even if that means leading his proteges into danger. In the fight against Lord Voldemort, we saw he was ultimately willing to sacrifice Harry Potter to defeat the dark arts. In the final trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, he is again expecting things to go ‘terribly wrong,’ but has at least given Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) a safe place to find a pot of tea.

Margot Robbie’s Birds of Prey Will Take Flight in 2020

We have been chirping about this awesome news since May and are ecstatic that Birds of Prey has an official release date. The all-girl DC comics movie starring Margot Robbie, reprising her role as that lovable lunatic Harley Quinn, has been gaining momentum for now, and now The Wrap has reported that Birds of Prey is on the slate for February 2020.

Beverly Plays Matchmaker with Freddy Krueger in The Goldbergs Promo

Halloween is set to revive Michael Myers’ killer career in just a few short weeks, which could inspire some of our other favorite boogeymen to crawl out of the shadows. Could Freddy Krueger be the next villain to haunt our dreams? Yes and no. If you want to head back to Elm Street, you’ll still have to settle for queuing up your DVD copy. However, if you want to see Robert Englund back in the knife gloves,

BlacKkKlansman Costume Designer Marci Rodgers on Dressing the Year’s Most Urgent Film

Costume designer Marci Rodgers was out of the country working on a movie when she got a call from Spike Lee. Rodgers and Lee worked together on his Netflix series (and adaptation from his feature film) She’s Gotta Have It, yet he was calling about a new project, a feature film based on an incredible true story about a black cop in Colorado Springs infiltrating a local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s.

John Cena and an Army of Transformers Hunt Bumblebee in New Trailer

Charlie (Hailee Steinfield) has no idea just how special her first car will be. I mean, Volkswagen is discontinuing the Beetle in 2019. That car is going to be a classic someday. Oh, and the particular vehicle she obtains is also a shapeshifting autobot in hiding. A new Bumblebee trailer highlights the intimate nature of the Transformers origin story and the epic odds our heroes are up against.

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.

The Men in Black reboot has all the ingredients you could possibly want. It’s got a great director in Straight Outta Comptons 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,

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

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.
