American Horror Story: Apocalypse Drops Cryptic, Creepy new Teaser

When we interviewed American Horror Story: Cult‘s Emmy-nominated actress Adina Porter, she couldn’t say much about Apocalypse, save for the fact she was in the makeup chair preparing for a scene when she found out she’d been nominated for her performance in Cult. Which was to be expected; Ryan Murphy loves keeping his upcoming seasons quiet and doling out cryptic, creepy little morsels to keep fans guessing...

Breathe Deep During this Vicious new The Predator Teaser

What we’ve now seen of Shane Black‘s The Predator has given us the strong impression this movie is going to be insane. We’ll know for sure in only a few days when we catch the midnight screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, but for those of you who will be waiting until the September 14 release date, a new teaser released by Fox gives you a few fresh glimpses at what our crew of ex-soldiers and an evolutionary biology professor (Olivia Munn) are up against in the Ultimate Predator...

Robin Wright Will Appear in Wonder Woman 1984

Wonder Woman 1984 seems to be getting everything right. Director Patty Jenkins knew the perfect recipe to make the first film a hit, and she seems to be carrying over some of the film’s greatest ingredients. In a blink-and-you’ll-miss it mention, an interview with Net-A-Porter reveals that Robin Wright will return for the sequel.

“Now, apart from shooting a flashback sequence in Spain with Connie Nielsen for Wonder Woman 1984, and preparing for her feature directorial debut (which starts production in January),...

Rian Johnson Selling Surprise Murder Mystery Project Knives Out

We have had our entire Rian Johnson radar fixed on his Star Wars projects, so this came as a major surprise. The Last Jedi director will be tackling a brand new Star Wars trilogy, but before that he has an entirely different project in the works. According to Deadline, Johnson is presenting a new script for Knives Out that is expected to start a bidding war. In addition to Johnson’s creative voice,...

A Fan Expo Panel Revealed a Surprise Cameo in Ant-Man and the Wasp

It is always fun to spot a familiar face in the Marvel crowd, particularly the reliable Stan Lee appearances. Sometimes a famous voice even slips in unnoticed for months, like in the case of Trevor Noah in Black Panther. However, there are some cameos that are a little more difficult to spot and we might just need an outright confession to ever see them all. Evangeline Lilly and Rodrigo Bastos Diner appeared together at Fan Expo Canada this weekend to promote their book series,...

Henry Cavill Will be the Lead in Netflix’s Fantasy Series The Witcher

He’s gone toe-to-toe with Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Cyborg AND Tom Cruise. We’re talking about Henry Cavill, who in recent years has played Superman (battling Batman, twice, in Batman v Superman and briefly in Justice League) and CIA bruiser August Walker in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Now Cavill’s heading to the small screen for Netflix’s The Witcher, based on the best-selling fantasy series from Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowsk (which has inspired a film,...

Glimpse Three of the Year’s Best Performances in First Full The Favourite Trailer

A new Yorgos Lanthimos is an event. It’s an opportunity to go into a theater and either white-knuckle your way through something deeply alarming (here’s looking at you, The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Dogtooth), or something offbeat, funny, and deliciously weird (The Lobster). Now the unpredictable director is back with The Favourite, a period piece set in 18th century England, and Fox Searchlight has released the film’s first trailer. ...

The Meg VFX Breakdown Reveals Creation of the Summer’s Biggest Predator

The Meg was one of this summer’s more joyous films, giving us Jason Statham, a massive shark, and breakout star Kelly the dog (an actual dog). The movie was fun, silly, and again, had a 75-foot long prehistoric shark (the Megalodon, hence the film’s title) going tooth-to-toe with Statham’s deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor. Now, we’ve got a look at how effects shop Scanline VFX helped create some of The Meg‘s wildest visuals,...

Hear the First Hypnotic Bars of Thom Yorke’s Suspiria Score

We go to the ballet to watch incredible athletes in action, but the ballet company is Suspiria is looking right back. Everyone is watching you from a disturbing new poster for the film.

Splattered across the page are six bloody pairs of eyes. Only Dakota Johnson’s seem alert. They’re larger, but also more defined and looking a different direction than anyone else. Will she be able to survive the madnees looming around her? The other pairs presumably belong to Tilda Swinton,...

Fantastic Beasts Cast and Crew Reflect on the Joy of Returning to Hogwarts

Jude Law lived the ultimate fan experience on the set of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The most magical place in the wizarding world is undoubtedly Hogwarts. In the Harry Potter series, we got to experience it for the first time along with Harry and his fellow first years. Pictures talked, rooms took shape as needed, plants screamed. There were surprises and mysteries around every corner. Now on the set of The Crimes of Grindelwald,...

The Final Predator Trailer Goes Full Throttle

Let it never be said that The Predator held anything back. If the final 2-minute trailer is any indication, Shane Black goes all in. The plot is outrageous and certainly doesn’t attempt to carry the psychological weight of a film like Alien. This is a gory action-palooza that is completely self-aware of its own over the top nature. And holy hell are there some wild moments.

Behold the long promised Preda-dogs...

Review Roundup: Critics Hail the Breathtaking Beauty of Roma

Roma made a predictably elegant debut at the Venice Film Festival last night, dazzling critics. Phrases like “achingly beautiful” and “engrossing” were used to describe the semi-autobiographical work.

The audience in Venice obviously got to experience Cuarón’s work on a theater screen, which is how the director intends the film to be viewed. However, Roma’s theatrical run will coincide with its release on Netflix. That gives audiences the potential to view the piece on their 4-inch phone screen,...

The Trailer for Orson Welles’ Unfinished Film The Other Side of the Wind Was Just Released

Streaming sites have made some really interesting things possible. The primary example is binge watching, but also reviving canceled series and now, resurrecting lost work. Ironically, Orson Welles’ unfinished work, The Other Side of the Wind, was a satire piece reflecting the evolution of Hollywood in the 1970s. Ironically, the film will now screen on Netflix more than 40 years after filming was completed.

Welles was a prodigious director who first made a splash on radio with a colorful reading of H.G...

Mysteries Abound in Riverdale Season 3 Trailer

Is it ever spring in Riverdale? The doom, gloom, and teenage angst seems to hang over the town in an autumn wintry haze. But let’s be honest. We are here for the drama and drama there shall be. Season 3 even seems to be slipping into the occult, perhaps a small nod to showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s Afterlife with Archie zombie series. Aguirre-Sacasa also created the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the definitely looks like it will have ritualistic elements...

Hugh Jackman Caught in a Political Sex Scandal in the First The Front Runner Trailer

One of the films we’re most excited about seeing at the Toronto International Film Festival is Jason Reitman’s The Front Runner. Sony Pictures has just dropped the film’s first trailer, giving you a peek at why we’re looking forward to it. Co-written by Reitman (Juno and Up in the Air) and House of Cards scribe Jay Carson and based on the book Matt Bai, The Front Runner chronicles the true story of Gary Hart (Hugh Jackman),...

A Quiet Place 2 is Coming in 2020

When awards season rolls around we’re betting that John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place will get some serious love. While Krasinski’s surprise horror hit was almost nothing like Jordan Peele’s 2016 masterpiece Get Out, it shares two salient points; it was released early in the year and was a fully realized, deliciously scary passion project. Starring Krasinski, his real-life wife Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe as a family forced to live in total silence, lest they be slaughtered by alien predators who hunt by sound,...

Early Reviews Hail First Man as a Revelatory Space Drama

There are few sure things in film, as in life, but sometimes the combination of talent and subject matter can get you very close to one. When we heard that Whiplash and La La Land director Damien Chazelle was re-teaming with Ryan Gosling to star as Neil Armstrong in a biopic of the legendary astronaut’s historic journey to the moon, we were as sure as you can be about these things that the film would be good...

This new First Man Trailer Passes the Goosebump Test

Right about now seems like an excellent time for Damien Chazelle’s First Man. The story of Neil Armstrong’s world-changing trip to the moon is the kind of momentous, moving big-picture tale we could use, about a mission that while steeped in the politics of its time, was ultimately one that would touch all of mankind. Starring Ryan Gosling as Armstrong, the second trailer for First Man passes the goosebump test and gives us (shockingly) the first proper biopic about the legendary Armstrong’s very personal,...

Watch Black Panther‘s Fight Coordinator Bring the Pain to Iron Fist

Think stunt coordinator Clayton Barber knows a thing or two about staging a good fight? First, take the fact that the man is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and was known as The Matador when he competed. Second, have a look at some of his film credits since he began using his skills to help make on-screen action look more realistic: he was a stunt performer in John Wick: Chapter 2 and The Fate of the Furious and a fight coordinator in Ryan Coogler’s last two films, ...

Quentin Tarantino has Finally Cast His Charles Manson in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

It was only yesterday we were writing about how Quentin Tarantino had cast Polish actor Rafal Zawierucha to play Roman Polanski in his upcoming film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. We’d been wondering whether or not Tarantino would have Polanski in his movie, but he settled that with the casting news. Polanski was the husband of Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), the most famous of the victims of the horrific Manson Murders,...
