New Wreck-It Ralph 2 Trailer Shows Us the Real Disney Princesses
Cinderella smashing her glass slipper and thrusting its jagged edge at the camera? Yes, please.
The newest trailer for Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 delivers a refreshing dose of Hollywood feminism. In the sequel to the 2012 Disney hit Wreck-It Ralph, the titular hero (voiced by John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (voiced by Sarah Silverman) make the upgrade from old-school arcade to the 21st-century, clickbait-cluttered Internet.
Behold The First Trailer for the Peter Jackson Co-Written & Produced Mortal Engines
If you’re going to adapt Philip Reeve’s wild sci-fi quartet of novels, you’d want director and super producer Peter Jackson involved. Universal has just dropped the first trailer to Mortal Engines, based on Reeve’s books, and set in a future civilization in which colossal “traction cities” stomp across a post-apocalyptic landscape, scavenging for supplies, often taking them from other mobile cities.

David Fincher Shot 75 Takes of a Single Mindhunter Scene
The brilliant mind of director David Fincher is probably full of every tip and trick available to the contemporary filmmaker, but nothing beats good-old-fashioned perfectionism. Which, for the man behind Netflix’s crime series Mindhunter, means shooting a nine-and-a-half minute scene several times. Well, more than several times. Seventy-five times. In a single day.
That’s about twelve hours, not including the single break the crew took for lunch and the time Fincher took to share with his actors the laborious notes he scribbled during each take.

The Official Star Wars Twitter Solves Decades-Old Empire Strikes Back Mystery
What began as a minor, almost forgettable moment of typical C-3PO humor in The Empire Strikes Back has recently become much, much more. A popular fan theory about the scene arose following the release of the legendary franchises’ newest spinoff, Solo: A Star War Story, and the people behind the Star Wars Twitter feed have all but confirmed it.

Joy Nash on her Breakout Role as Plum Kettle in Dietland
At one point in the two hour premiere of AMC’s latest drama, Dietland, Margaret Atwood’s most famous quote is uttered by main character Plum Kettle: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” Other than being a perfect encapsulation of our current times, it’s also a sentiment that can anchor the stickily interesting Dietland, based on the novel by Sarai Walker and brought to AMC by TV veteran Marti Noxon.
Josh Brolin Raises the Stakes in New Sicario: Day of the Soldado Clip
There are no rules here in this ruthless new clip from Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Josh Brolin’s character resorts to armed kidnapping to get what he wants, but everyone might not agree with his methods. Sony just released the short scene and the sequel to the 2015 crime thriller appears to be even bolder than its predecessor.
The intense scene features Matt Graver (Brolin), the staunch CIA operative who continues to carry out illegal false flag operations against Mexican drug cartels.

How Solo‘s Craziest Death Scene Was Inspired by Indiana Jones
If you’re trying to outrun a squadron of TIE-Fighters while smuggling highly explosive, extremely expensive cargo, what you probably don’t want to do is fly directly into a maelstrom. Spoiler alert.
Yet that’s precisely what Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) does while at the helm of Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover)’s Millennium Falcon as they attempt to make the Kessel run (in 12 parsecs!) before being killed by the TIE Fighters and the Imperial blockade set up to stop them.
Lucasfilm Designers Created 29 More Concepts for the Millenium Falcon in Solo
There is hardly any more recognizable ship in the whole of the sci-fi universe than the Millenium Falcon. For Solo: A Star Wars story, Lucasfilm Design Supervisor, James Clyne, had to go back in time to imagine what the Falcon looked like before A New Hope. Clyne and his team ended up spinning off in nearly 60 directions before settling on the shiny new ship. StarWars.com went back to Clyne’s original sketches to shed light on his design process.

James Marsden to Star in New Sonic the Hedgehog Live-Action/Animated Adaptation
Pretty much any millennial would be able to tell you who Sonic the Hedgehog is. The blue gaming hero, recently inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame in 2016, appeared in the first video game I ever played. There’s something about bringing a video game to the big screen that screams nostalgia, bringing us back to a simpler time where we could immerse ourselves in new worlds every Saturday afternoon, without consequence.
