Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie Struggle for the Crown in First Mary Queen of Scots Trailer

The first trailer for Mary Queen of Scots is a stirring struggle of passion and power. I admit that I’m a royal enthusiast, but Elizabeth I has been done and done well. I wasn’t convinced we needed another regaling of the rivalry. And yet, I have been made a true believer. Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan are stunning.

The actresses never rest on the beautiful costumes and production design – although there is plenty of that.

Zachary Levi’s Bold Shazam! Costume Is a Teenage Superhero Dream

Imagine being transformed into a superhero at only 14 and having the opportunity to create your own suit. It would probably include bright colors, a cape, and things that lights up. After catching glimpses of Zachary Levi’s costume on Instagram, EW released the first image of Shazam’s suit, and it is everything from a fourteen-year-old’s superhero fantasy.

Here, Billy Batson is with his best friend from the orphanage, Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer),

First Reactions Hail Mission: Impossible – Fallout as an Adrenalin-Jacked Masterpiece

Well that didn’t take long. We’ve spent the past couple of days enjoying the fresh Mission: Impossible – Fallout photos and videos that Paramount has been releasing, and now, we can share the first reactions to the film. As we predicted, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie and star Tom Cruise have another smash on their hands. McQuarrie is the first director to return for a second mission in the franchise, and the continuity of the story and his familiarity with his stars and the material seem to have paid off.

See the World While Dangling off a Helicopter in new Mission: Impossible – Fallout Video

We’ve been talking about how Mission: Impossible – Fallout looks like it has the chance to be the most aggressively action-packed film in a franchise famous for it. We shared these new photos, which highlight Mission: Impossible‘s commitment to honoring that Impossible in the title with increasingly insane stunts. Today, we turn our attention to another cornerstone of the franchise—international locations. In a new video shared by Paramount,

Neill Blomkamp to Direct RoboCop Returns

Sci-fi is a genre that District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp genuinely loves and respects. This is why he’s such a good choice to reboot the RoboCop franchise with RoboCop Returns. Deadline reports that Blomkamp’s new film will have the writing team behind the 1987 original, Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner, on board to produce and executive-produce. Neumeier and Miner wrote a script for a RoboCop sequel years ago that never saw the light of day—until now.

Denzel Washington Makes His Surprising Return in New Clips for The Equalizer 2

There is nothing scarier for criminals than Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) showing up at your door. Especially for everyone who thought he was dead. Sony Pictures Entertainment recently released two new clips from the first sequel of Washington’s career, The Equalizer 2. The clips offer a snapshot of McCall’s signature combat style and reveal more about his cryptic past.

In the first clip, McCall walks into an apartment to get a young man,

These Mission: Impossible – Fallout Images Have the Action of Ten Movies

My aspirations to be an international spy are not going to work well with my grave fear of heights. At least, that’s what these new images from Mission Impossible: Fallout lead me to believe. There’s Tom Cruise jumping out of a plane, hanging off a helicopter, swinging from some helicopter cargo, and casually clinging to a death defying cliff. Are there any espionage jobs that stay on the ground? I think I’ll rule out that career aspiration and leave it to the professionals.

Indulge in These Decadent Posters of Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie in Mary Queen of Scots

The official posters for Focus Feature’s Mary Queen of Scots are out and we are pumped to see more of this medieval world. These queens really do it all, from Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan) confidently leading a pack of men on her horse, to Queen Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie) standing tall as her servants pamper her hands.

The official character posters depict striking portraits of both the women- yet their differences are quite notable.

One Book is All it Takes to Release the Monsters of Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween

What has happened here? When last we saw famed author R.L. Stine, all of his literary creations were safely back in their books. Well, almost. With the exclusion of Zach’s (Dylan Minnette) new lady love, Hannah (Odeya Rush), and the Invisible Boy. For the most part, Madison, Delaware had been saved from demolishment by monster and had a mostly happy ending. Now, Stine’s house is dilapidated and abandoned and the scribe himself is nowhere to be found.

New Fallout Clips Prove Mission: Impossible is the Best Action Franchise

Notoriously perfectionist stunt professional (oh, and actor) Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie have done it again. Two new clips from Mission: Impossible- Fallout boast the incredibly suspenseful halo jump and a bathroom brawl for the ages. In the series sixth installment, the iconic Ethan Hunt (Cruise) runs into troubles aplenty after an important mission goes wrong. Hunts problem include a babysitter from hell. In real life,

It’s Official—Joaquin Phoenix is Your new Joker

We’ve been writing about Joaquin Phoenix circling Todd Phillips Joker project for months. The talented actor doesn’t do many interviews, and when he has, he’s been careful with his words when talking about the potential film. He’s spoken about how for him, the interest is all about the character, not the superhero genre. We wrote way back in February about how the script was done and Phillips had already said Phoenix was his top choice.

How the Cast of Spider-Man: Far From Home is Shaping Up

With Avengers: Infinity War (spoilers from which lie ahead) growing smaller in the rearview mirror (yet with Thanos’ power spilling outside of the film and into real life), Marvel Studios is hustling to begin production of one of the strangest-ever superhero flicks.

The primary reason the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel is such an odd concept is that its titular hero is currently dead in the Marvel canon following Thanos’ decimation of the universe’s population.
