SDCC 2018: The DCEU Lightens Up for the First Shazam! Trailer
With the brooding Man of Steel and its gritty successors, Zack Snyder indelibly left his mark on the DCEU. Movies like Batman v Superman and Justice League — but not so much Aquaman, from the looks of the trailer — are indeed darker than the average superhero flick, but they’re not without relieving moments of humor and humanity. Shazam!,
SDCC 2018: Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah Awaken in Godzilla: King of the Monsters Trailer
The first Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer is surprisingly soothing. Giant creatures with the potential for humanity ending destruction are more awe-inspiring than fearful. For now. As Dr. Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) rallies support for unleashing the ancient beasts, the end of the world grows near.
Even without the monsters, the predicament is unsettling. There are catastrophic weather events happening far beyond the control of mankind. It’s enough to make me run and hide under the covers,
SDCC 2018: Worlds Collide in the Wild First Aquaman Trailer
The DCEU has seen some major battle sequences in the past, but this takes things to a whole new level. Warner Bros. finally dropped our first real look at the standalone Aquaman film after director James Wan teased it last week. We expected to see bits of Arthur Curry’s origin and his introduction to the underwater kingdom that is rightfully his, and we got them. But by the end of the trailer we were promised an underwater war that could rival any that have graced the big screen before.
SDCC 2018: Favorite Beasts and a Long-Awaited Friend Appear in New Fantastic Beasts Trailer
Dumbledore has a particular penchant for sending proteges into the line of danger. Long before Harry was sent to fight Voldemort, Newt Scamander was the chosen one. Before he was headmaster, Dumbledore was a mere professor teaching schoolkids the Boggart-Banishing spell. As Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) and his followers begin to unite, Dumbledore (Jude Law) implores Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to fight in the new Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer.
Luckily for the wizarding world,
SDCC 2018: Location Managers Discuss How They Find the Perfect Spot to Film
They found Jumanji in Hawaii, Skull Island in Vietnam, Hogwarts in England, and Wakanda in South Africa. The script calls for a 1970’s gas station or a Jane Austen-era house of an earl or the topography of another planet? Location scouts are the visual artists and logistical wizards who find the places that you see on the screen and oversee all of the details to make sure the crew has what they need and that,
SDCC 2018: Elijah Recruits a Powerful Ally in First Glass Trailer

A Remarkably Talented Cast Has Been Announced for Tom Hooper’s Cats
This could be the memory of a lifetime. Superstars of stage and screen are coming together for the ultimate Broadway classic. Picture Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, James Corden, and Sir Ian McKellen together and what musical comes to mind? If you were remarkably thinking of Cats, you are psychic. I never could have predicted the news that the aforementioned performers will all adapt the phenomenon for the big screen.
It sounds like a ‘Crosswalk Musical’

Black Panther‘s Brilliant Sister Shuri Getting her own Marvel Comic
Letitia Wright nearly walked away with Black Panther as the brilliant little sister of the film’s titular superhero. She was perhaps only slightly, fractionally less important to Wakanda than her big brother (and you could argue that her technological prowess makes her the nation’s most important person), and as embodied by Wright, she was also hilarious. Such was the potency of her performance that nearly immediately after Black Panther came out,
Deadpool 2‘s Zazie Beetz in Talks to Join Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker Movie
If you were to ask us to name an actress we’d love to see in Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips’ Joker, Zazie Beetz would be really, really high on that list. The charismatic breakout star of Deadpool 2, as well as Donald Glover‘s consistently excellent Atlanta, is in talks to join the bad boy of Gotham.
The Hollywood Reporter has it that Beetz could be joining Phoenix in the standalone Joker (the film’s official title now—we love it) in what would be a decisive turn from the super ridiculous superhero world of Deadpool to a gritty,

Could Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker Change the Comic Movie Landscape?
The Joaquin Phoenix led Joker movie was just recently announced, but the star has already gone on record about the role and now we know when we’ll actually get to see it.

Meet the Mother of Mamma Mia!

The impresario, 60, first hatched the idea to build a story around family bonds and lost loves inspired by the songs of Swedish pop sensation ABBA in 1996 after collaborating with the group’s tunesmiths Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus on the 1984 West End stage production of Chess.

J.J. Abrams’ Overlord is Finally Revealed to Be a Bonkers Historical Horror Film
When J.J. Abrams announced the film Overlord, we obviously all thought the same thing. World War II, zombies, Nazis, and possession, right? Isn’t that what you had in mind? Yah, us neither. Bad Robot just released its first trailer of the terror-inducing film Overlord, and it is insane. Abrams’ new film brings us on a typical war journey that takes a psychotic and deranged turn, one unlike anything we have seen before.
