New Solo: A Star Wars Story TV Spot Features the Best Blaster Handoff of All Time
Risk is a part of a smuggler’s life. So is the fact that a lot of the folks you’ll be dealing with “are not your friends,” as Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) reminds a young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich). Yet this new TV spot does seem to prove what we always suspected—the life of the galactic smuggler can be fun. In one particularly awesome sequence, you’ll see Han and Lando (Donald Glover) fighting together as if they’ve been doing it all their lives...
Glimpse The Process of Incredibles 2 With New Behind-The-Scenes Images
With the highly anticipated release of Brad Bird’s The Incredibles 2 just two months away, fans who have been waiting 14 very long years are eager for information about the sequel to one of the most beloved Pixar films of all time. The first teaser revealed some of Jack-Jack’s powers that we glimpsed briefly in The Incredibles, and the first trailer confirmed that the sequel would focus more on super-mom Elastigirl (the great Helen Hunt)...
Ready Player One Solidifies Steven Spielberg as a Record-Breaking Storyteller
You can’t put a price on your favorite movie memories, but here’s a rough value of Steven Spielberg’s catalog of films. Ready Player One reached number one at the box office in its opening week pushing Spielberg’s lifetime gross past $10 billion.
Spielberg is the first filmmaker to cross that threshold making him the most profitable director of all time. The visionary director has been behind the lens for more than half a century,...
Russo Brothers Say Avengers: Infinity War & Avengers 4 Are Two Distinct Films
Don’t expect Avengers: Infinity War to end with a cliffhanger that won’t be answered until the still untitled Avengers 4 hits theaters in May of 2019. This is great news.
For while, especially when the two films were titled Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Infinity War Part Two, it made sense of think of them as one giant story. First, you had the fact that the second film was titled Part Two. ...
Jason Clarke in Talks to Lead Paramount’s Pet Sematary Reboot
Adapting Stephen King isn’t always easy, but when done right, the results can be magnificent. That was certainly the case for Andy Muschietti’s It, which was one of 2017’s most pleasant (in a terrifying way) surprises. The film was both a critical and commercial smash, no easy feat considering It was one of the legendary novelist’s more difficult tomes to crack. Yet Muschietti and his team took the book’s first half—when the Losers’...
The First Hotel Artemis Trailer Reveals Sensational Cast in Wild new Film
Hotel Artemis is the directorial debut for Iron Man 3 screenwriter Drew Pearce, and it contains the thrills and clever sci-fi conceits you’d expect of the man who wrote the best Iron Man of them all. The film is set in 2028, in a Los Angeles engulfed in rioting. There’s a sanctuary (of sorts) known as Hotel Artemis, run by the enigmatic healer, where crooks and criminals can come to get patched up, so long as they follows the rules...
The Russo Brothers Reveal Members of the Black Order Appearing in Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War is right around the corner with an April 27 release date, and yet there is still so much about the film that we don’t know. The Russo Brothers have been quiet on questions surrounding Hawkeye’s mysterious absence from promotional photos and if Ant-Man will be aiding in the fight against Thanos. They have, however, shared amazing promotional posters, television spots, and hinted that all of our favorite heroes may not survive this film...
John Mulaney Hosts One of the Sharpest Saturday Night Live Episodes of the Season
There were a lot of surprises out of Saturday Night Live this weekend, but how brilliant John Mulaney’s performed wasn’t one of them. The razor sharp former SNL writer flawlessly executed his hosting debut. Mulaney has been the driving wit of so many spectacular project, as well as his own stand-up career, so we’re thrilled to see him gaining more widespread exposure.
Mulaney’s monologue was gut-busting and we wanted it to go on for two hours...
Rampage Roars While A Quiet Place Still Soars
Mutant beasts and murderous aliens dominated the box office this weekend. Dwayne Johnson’s new film, Rampage, was officially released in theaters Friday April 13 with an A- CinemaScore, and has already made $34.5 million domestically and $148.6 million globally—that’s a lot of zeroes—and that’s only in three days. This has placed Johnson, his gorilla pal George and the rest of the colossal crew in the top spot this week domestic box offices.
ComingSoon.net reports that John Krasinski’s thriller A Quiet Place saw a mere 29% drop in ticket sales this week (a very small drop off),...
Star-Lord’s Imitation of Thor in this Avengers: Infinity War Spot is Not So Flattering
Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) isn’t really much of a team player. He’s already getting under Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) skin by challenging the genius inventor’s master plan, while a new Avengers: Infinity War spot shows the Missouri native attempting to match wits with the God of Thunder. This probably isn’t going to end well.
See Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: #InfinityWar” in theaters April 27. Get tickets now: https://t.co/kctg8VkHan pic.twitter.com/JvWKJjv6U7

Blaster Battle Aboard Space Train Highlights This Solo: A Star Wars Story TV Spot
By the time we meet Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, they’re old friends with a long history of swashbuckling adventure between them. In this new Solo: A Star Wars Story TV spot, titled “Crew,” we see for the first time the moment Han even learns Chewie’s name (how Han already understands the Wookie language is a question only SNL seems interested in raising)...
Mudbound & Come Sunday Composer Tamar-kali’s Singular Path
At less than 2% of all composers, the percentage of female scoring artists working in the film industry is the lowest and most out of balance with the number of men getting hired. There isn’t any official data on how many of those are women of color, but it’s an even smaller fraction. With her critically acclaimed score for Mudbound, and now with her new work for the film Come Sunday, composer Tamar-kali is inching those numbers upward and doing her part to change the Hollywood system,...
Kay Cannon on her Hilarious Directorial Debut Blockers
If you’ve ever been a Teen Movie fan, the last several years haven’t really been for you. While the late 90s and early aughts had more than their fair share of teen movies (many now classics), it’s been few and far between for a studio coming-of-age flick. But in the last month, we’ve been blessed with not one, but two studio teen films: Greg Berlanti’s Love, Simon and Kay Cannon’s Blockers—both that have made progressive new changes to the teen film formula...
The Good Wife Costume Designer Dan Lawson Brings his Skill to New Detective Series Instinct
Dan Lawson certainly possesses the gift of garb. The established costume designer is an Emmy nominee for his work on CBS’s The Good Wife, and now brings his winning style to that show’s spinoff The Good Fight. He also is a recipient of the Theater Development Fund’s Irene Sharaff Young Master Award for excellence in costume design — the first to be honored for television.
Because wardrobe is so essential to character and story,...
Westworld Reviews Tease a Grittier, Bolder and Bloodier Season
Following the stunt that Westworld creators pulled this past week supposedly revealing “spoilers” for season 2, the real reviews are in from the lucky critics who have actually been able to watch a few episodes of the new season. If you thought season 1 was wild, hold on to your cowboy hats. Reviews are in and we’ll keep this as spoiler free as possible.
According to recent reviews its looks like this season is even bolder and bloodier than the first...
Our It: Chapter Two Fantasy Cast is Actually Becoming a Reality
This is the stuff that dreams are made of – provided you dream about incredibly talented actors portraying the adult version of kids stalked by a killer clown. THR reports that James McAvoy and Bill Hader are in talks to join the adult cast of It: Chapter Two.
McAvoy has reportedly risen to the top of the short list to play Losers Club leader, Bill Denbrough. McAvoy is extremely dynamic having played the tragic Robbie Turner in Atonement and the 23 personalities of Kevin in Split...
Here’s the Diabolical Mastermind the Parr Family Will Be Facing in The Incredibles 2
The Incredibles 2 trailers have revealed the plethora of Jack-Jack’s powers (that we only got a glimpse of in the first movies) and we have learned that the film’s shining star will be literal supermom, Elastigirl. A new trailer finally introduces us briefly to the film’s rather disturbing villain, more of stay-at-home dad Mr. Incredible and, of course, lots of Frozone.
Elastigirl has become the face of a new project to help improve the image of meta-humans—if there’s anything we’ve learned from superhero films it’s that people tend to have an extreme distrust of their extraordinary abilities—leaving Bob to take care of the kids...
The 2nd Annual Women’s Media Summit Showcases the Powerful Voices Changing the Industry
Frances McDormand may not have been in the room at the 2nd Annual Women’s Media Summit held April 5-8 at Provincetown’s Crown and Anchor. But the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Oscar-winner was there in spirit. Several of the industry professionals who gathered at the conference referenced McDormand’s shout-out for the “inclusion rider” in her best actress Oscar acceptance speech as a way to contractually require gender equity.
That was a key mission of the event,...
Avengers: Infinity War TV Spot Shows New Footage of Thanos & the Black Order
The very first seconds of this new Avengers: Infinity War spot, titled “Legacy,” shows us footage we haven’t seen—Thanos (Josh Brolin) standing amongst the Black Order. With his gauntlet raised in the air and his “children” surrounding him, the sequence is incredibly striking. This is the first time we’ve seen Thanos and the Black Order all in a single shot—which includes Corvus Glaive, Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf, and Proxima Midnight. They look, for all the world, like the anti-Avengers—and that’s more or less precisely what they are...
Ocean’s 8 New Trailer Boasts Star-Studded Cast & Heist of a Lifetime
Avengers: Infinity War might have this year’s awards for most stars in one film wrapped up, but Ocean’s 8 isn’t far behind. The new trailer for this star-studded caper shows off just how bright the wattage of talent here is.
The film stars Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean, the sister of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean and possibly the family’s most talented criminal (sorry, Danny). When we meet Debbie, she’s fresh out of prison (a nice echo to Danny’s situation when we met him way back in Steven Soderbergh’s very first Ocean’s 11)...
