Jon Favreau Shares new Image of The Mandalorian‘s Weapon
We’re loving the steady stream of images and plot nuggets we’re getting from Jon Favreau’s upcoming live-action Star Wars show The Mandalorian. First, we found out the series name and synopsis, which clued us in that it would take place between the fall of the Empire in The Return of the Jedi and the rise of the First Order in The Force Awakens. We were also able to glean that The Mandalorian would have some connection to that famous bounty hunter family,...
Russo Brothers Share Mysterious Image as Avengers 4 Officially Wraps
Okay internet sleuths, do your best. The Russo Brothers have shared the below image of a glowing white…something. Much like the last image they shared, this one is meant to bring out the inner Sherlock Holmes in us all, while also, just maybe, having a little fun at our expense. The last image they shared may have held hidden clues to what Avengers 4 title will be, while this new image,...
Dwayne Johnson Shares First Look at Hobbs and Shaw Co-Star Idris Elba
The Fast and the Furious series is virtually invincible. Each of the eight films keeps upping the ante and with Dwayne Johnson’s star power skyrocketing, the franchise shows no signs of putting on the brakes. Even if you thought there was a chase that the series would slow down around the curve, here is proof that things are accelerating. Spinoff Hobbs and Shaw has added superstar Idris Elba to the cast and Johnson shared the first look...
Bad Times at the El Royale’s Art Director on Building the Lunatic Lodge
In Bad Night at the El Royale, location is everything. The titular lodge sets the mood and structures the interlocking plot twists suffered by seven shady characters who cross paths there on a stormy night in 1969. Director Drew Goddard wrote the story and production designer Martin Whist defined the vision. It was up to supervising art director Michael Diner to make sure all the physical pieces of the environment came together on time and on budget...
Journey to the Cave of Wonders in the First Aladdin Teaser Trailer
What you are seeing is not a mirage. The teaser trailer for Aladdin is truly here, and it is a trip to the land of excitement and nostalgia.
There is pretty much a theme with these live action teasers now, which speaks to the fact that Disney films are so iconic. They need a mere symbol or suggestion to take you back to your childhood. Cinderella was introduced with 60 seconds of the glass slipper...
Ryan Coogler Returning to Wakanda to Write & Direct Black Panther Sequel
Writer/director Ryan Coogler has closed a deal to write and direct the sequel to his juggernaut global sensation Black Panther. The Hollywood Reporter has it that the uber-talented young filmmaker has quietly inked his deal with Marvel, in what could only be described as one of the bigger “no duh” contracts in recent memory. Black Panther not only grossed $1.3 billion worldwide, but it was also a critical sensation and cultural touchstone...
Kurt Russell is the Coolest Santa in History in The Christmas Chronicles Trailer
Kurt Russell is the best thing to happen to Santa since Tim Allen scared the big man off his roof. The Santa Clause was a defining holiday moment for my generation and Kurt Russell is upping the ante in a new Christmas gift you can enjoy from Thanksgiving to whenever you take your tree down. No judgment. The first trailer for The Christmas Chronicles has arrived and Santa is real. Like, he exists but also just keeps it real,...
The Truth Behind that Mysterious Unknown Suspiria Actor
The not so shocking, yet amazingly entertaining, ending to the Lutz Ebersdorf mystery has been revealed. Remember when that awesome Suspiria poster of the unknown talent was released? It had an air of the familiar and there were even rumors that the German octogenarian actor was not who he appeared to be. It turns out that those rumors were true, but the reveal is even more interesting than the mystery.
The novice actor Lutz Ebersdorf was credited in Luca Guadagnigno’s Suspiria remake in the role of Dr...
New Glass Trailer Teases Elijah Price’s Sinister Plan
“Elijah’s changed over the years. He’s given up.” These are the first words we hear in the new Glass trailer, and we’d be wise not to believe them. While Glass opens with Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) locked up in an asylum and heavily sedated (Sarah Paulson’s Dr. Ellie Staple keeps Price dulled on drugs), we know that Price, also known as Mr. Glass, is only just getting started. Soon he has “two new friends”...
Ike Barinholtz on his Funny/Terrifying Directorial Debut The Oath
In a future that seems as if it could arrive tomorrow, American citizens are instructed to pledge their loyalty not to their country, but to the president. That’s the premise of The Oath, the first feature directed by Ike Barinholtz. The comic actor, known from such series as madTV and The Mindy Project, also wrote the satire, which begins as a family gathers for Thanksgiving dinner.
Barinholtz plays the host,...
First Man Writer Josh Singer on how Great Moments Require Sacrifice
Screenwriter Josh Singer didn’t realize it at the time, but great things were just around the corner in 2014 when he and director Damien Chazelle first brainstormed their First Man movie about Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong’s historic 1969 mission to the moon. “It was actually a pretty low point for me,” Singer recalls. “The Fifth Estate, which I wrote, had come out and not done well at all. Spotlight had a big actor attached and then he went away,...
From Hell to Space to Atlantis: Highlights From New York Comic Con
This was the 13th year that the Javits Center hosted New York Comic Con (NYCC), and it was massive. CNBC reports that this year’s NYCC was the biggest in its history, with more than 250,000 tickets sold (in NYCC’s first year, in 2006, they sold a bit more than 12,000 tickets.) This year NYCC also expanded to six other locations (The Credits hosted three panels at one of those locations), with more than 420 panel discussions ranging from our chats with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Outlander novelist Diana Gabaldon to our panel with stunt performers and coordinators like Jahnel Curfman and Hiro Koda...
NYCC: Sophie Turner Talks Dark Phoenix And Keeping Game of Thrones Secrets
Sophie Turner was possibly the most in-demand talent at New York Comic Con. The Game of Thrones star dropped into the Studio @ NYCC for an hourlong conversation about the colossal crossroads in her career. As she bids farewell to the resilient Sansa Stark, she emerges as the central focus of another epic fanbase. The actress has begun promotion for her starring turn as Jean Grey in crisis as a dark force from within threatens to consume her...
First Pet Sematary Trailer Reveals Chilling Reboot to Stephen King Classic
Sometimes dead is better.
Pet Sematary’s new logline is a perfect encapsulation of this Stephen King adaptation from one of his most surprising and chilling books ever. And now Paramount has released the first trailer for the film from Starry Eyes directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer and Nightflyers scribe Jeff Buhler. The film stars Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz as Louis and Rachel Creed, two parents who move with their children from Boston to a new home in rural Maine...
James Gunn in Talks to Write & Direct Suicide Squad 2
It looks like writer/director James Gunn may have found his first project in his post Guardians of the Galaxy franchise career. After Disney fired him over insensitive Tweets, Gunn had met with Disney and Marvel executives. It was unclear whether he’d land on another Marvel project, possibly keep his old Guardians gig, or, move on to something else. Now The Wrap reports that Gunn may be heading to Marvel competitor DC to write and possibly direct Suicide Squad 2...
The CW Reveals First Image of Ruby Rose as Batwoman
We were thrilled when we heard that Ruby Rose was going to be Batwoman for the CW. The multi-talented Rose is stepping into the role of heroine Kate Kane. Rose will be introduced during the Arrowverse’s “Elseworlds” crossover event (prepare to see The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl forming a super-team and taking on the villains of Gotham City), and then she’ll be getting her own series next year. Now, we’ve got our first look at Rose as Batwoman,...
Hellboy‘s Illustrated Poster for New York Comic Con is Glorious
Hellboy made a big, red firey splash at this year’s New York Comic Con. While the demon with the heart of gold was up against major franchises and fan favorites, including that 5-minute Aquaman trailer and the new footage from the upcoming X-Men epic Dark Phoenix, David Harbour’s turn as the newest member of the B.P.R.D. (Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense) was a hit. Fans got to see the first footage from Neil Marshall’s reboot,...
Eddie Brock Knows about Spider-Man in Venom
Spider-Man is gone, but not forgotten in Venom. Peter Parker and Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) have some serious history, but the teenage web-slinging superhero did not appear in the Symbiote film. The two characters did not cut all ties, however. They’re still a part of the MCU and can’t escape their connection. Producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach gave Collider a cheat sheet for spotting the Spider-Man mentions in Venom.
The first might be a reference that seemed like a throwaway line,...
Rian Johnson’s Knives Out Cast Keeps Getting Better
Before writer/director Rian Johnson was known for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, he had already directed two really fantastic capers. The first, his impressive 2005 debut film Brick, was a black-and-white noir mystery set in a California high school starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a teenage loner who infiltrates the murky underworld of a criminal syndicate run by his classmates. His third film, the sci-fi crime drama Looper,...
James McAvoy’s Beast Comes Alive in Glass Motion Poster
Universal has just released a new motion poster for M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass which teases James McAvoy’s Beast, the invincible alter ego of McAvoy’s Kevin Wendell Crumb. This cool new poster hints at how the sinister Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), also known as Mr. Glass, has found the perfect foil for the indestructible David Dunn (Bruce Willis). The first trailer gave us a glimpse at Shyamalan’s surprising final installment in his trilogy (which began with his 2000 film Unbreakable, ...
