Meet the Actor Behind the Monsters of Mama, Crimson Peak, and Slender Man
It’s evident in our interviews with cinematographers, visual effects artists, makeup designers, location scouts, and more that we often don’t even see the faces of much of Hollywood’s talented creators. That includes some actors, too, who are less recognizable but paramount to the success of some of our favorite flicks.
Javier Botet, a Spaniard with over a decade of big-screen experience, is one of those actors. Botet grew up with Marfan syndrome, which resulted in his tall,...

The MCU has unveiled its massive cinematic in three distinct phases...
The Game of Thrones Ice Dragon Debate may Finally be Settled
Last season’s Game of Thrones brought us an almost absurd amount of drama and intrigue. The Stark Sisters increasing acrimony and the threat of Arya killing Sansa. Dany’s march on Westeros and all the complications involved. Cersei’s death grip on power in King’s Landing. The first use of Dany’s dragons against an army of Westeros in that epic “Spoils of War” episode. The absolutely insane plan to go north of the Wall and capture a wight...
Watch a Gag Reel & How Wakanda Forever Became Avengers: Infinity War‘s Mantra

Here’s the Bloody Funny Trailer for Simon Pegg’s Horror-Comedy Slaughterhouse Rulez
If you’re looking for a good, old fashioned horror-comedy to sink your teeth into this upcoming Halloween, you won’t do better than Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s latest collaboration—provided the film eventually finds its way to our shores. The first trailer for their Slaughterhouse Rulez is here, and it’s a riot of Harry Potter (via the cliques that read, to us anyway, almost like the various houses within Howgarts) meets Stranger Things with a dash of School of Rock and even a pinch of Jurassic Park for good measure...
How They Shot That Epic Bathroom Fight Scene in Mission: Impossible — Fallout
Mission: Impossible — Fallout was chock full of jaw-dropping moments. It had Tom Cruise in a motorcycle chase, flying a helicopter, and most importantly, saving the world from nuclear destruction — a pretty big deal if you ask us. The hands down best action franchise in Hollywood (thanks in no small part to stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood) has been delivering the goods for 20 years. But while each fresh spectacle was something to behold,...
Jessica Chastain vs Eddie Redmayne in Serial Killer Movie The Good Nurse
There has arguably never been a serial killer as deadly as Charles Cullen.

It looks as if we may finally see a big screen look at the most prolific serial killer in history. ...

Ruby Rose is Batwoman in the CW’s Groundbreaking new Series
We were cautiously optimistic when we heard that the CW was creating a Batwoman series based on the DC comics character Kate Kane. Now that we know Ruby Rose will be starring as the greatest Gotham hero not named Batman, we’re thrilled. The series isn’t 100% confirmed—first, Rose will be appearing in the networks’ annual Arrow-verse crossover event in December. If the introduction excites fans as much as the mere notion is exciting us, then the CW could be green lighting a Batwoman series for the 2019-2020 season. ...
