Enter the Samurai: New Westworld Trailer Reveals the World Within & Beyond the Park
Gaining sentience was a dramatic journey for the hosts of Westworld, but the havoc that might come from their combined knowledge looks even more wild. The robots are still seeking answers and don’t always have it right, but the fact that they know to question is truly compelling. The season 2 trailer gives us clues to some of the parks biggest mysteries, and sets up an exciting chapter in the series.
A major theme emerges in the fact that we are seeing a lot of area beyond the park and control center...
Margot Robbie Runs This Neon Town in the New Terminal Trailer
Everyone has someone to kill in the new trailer for Terminal. And some of those people are successful. The trailer takes a 90 degree turn in style from the original teaser. The mysterious introduction that appeared last week seemed serious and sober. Now it’s clear from the new trailer that this movie will dive into dark comedy territory.
We cannot wait to follow Margot Robbie – and all her various aliases – down the wacky and neon lit rabbit hole...
Offred Escaped Gilead in Body, But Maybe Not in Mind in the Handmaid’s Tale Season 2 Trailer
As an adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s thrilling novel, we had a pretty good idea of where the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale was going. There were some newly introduced concepts and characters and a few surprises, but for the most part, the script told a similar story. Both, however, ended with a chilling cliffhanger. Where was Offred (Elisabeth Moss) going? Was Nick (Max Minghella) a member of Mayday or an Eye? In the book, we don’t know for sure,...
Robert Downey Jr. Announces Stellar Cast of The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle
The doctor is in and what a patient roster. Robert Downey Jr. has been hanging out alone as the sole cast member of The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle, but that has all changed. Downey Jr., who is active on Twitter, announced his new fellow cast members himself.
I am most pleased to announce the stellar voice cast joining me on #TheVoyageofDoctorDolittle. #EmmaThompson @ItsRamiMalek @octaviaspencer #RalphFiennes @kumailn @selenagomez @MrCraigRobinson @carmenejogo @TomHolland1996 #MarionCotillard @RealFDLT @JohnCena pic.twitter.com/GmfjOCqv7w

The Darkest Minds Trailer Reveals Superpowered Teens on the Run
Superheroes aren’t always adults (as Peter Parker has proved), and they’re not always operating in a world that cares for what they have to offer (see Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice). And sometimes, they’re not only not adults nor area they welcome, they’re being actively hunted or imprisoned. This the backdrop in which 20th Century Fox’s new film The Darkest Minds takes place, and a new trailer introduces us to a plucky group of very powerful kids in a story so timely it seems ripped from the headlines (and then filtered through a Marvel comic book)...
Gina Rodriguez to Star as Carmen Sandiego in Animated series and Live-Action film
The great Gina Rodriguez is best known for her stellar work on The CW’s Jane the Virgin, yet the last time we saw her taking on a secret assignment, she was playing Anya Thorensen in Alex Garland’s trippy, super intense sci-fi film Annihilation. In that film, Rodriguez shed all remnants of her persona from Jane the Virgin and showed us a raw, vulnerable character who plunged into the mysterious Area X and found some seriously horrifying stuff...
New Footage and More Jokes Highlight Deadpool 2 Green Band Trailer
A new green band trailer and a new international poster? Things are heating up with Deadpool 2‘s marketing push, giving us ever more glimpses at the Merc with the Mouth’s upcoming adventures with his new best friends in the whole world, Domino (Zazie Beetz) and Cable (Josh Brolin). In this new green band trailer, Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson catches us up on everything that happened in the original film in roughly 30 seconds, then gives us a much more joke-heavy riff on the most recent trailer,...
Eli Roth Defies Expectations With The House With a Clock in Its Walls
Eli Roth has directed a…children’s movie?
Well, not quite, but the director of Hostel and Cabin Fever‘s latest film, The House With a Clock in Its Walls, is based on a children’s book by novelist John Bellairs (with wonderful illustrations by Edward Gorey), and was produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, so it’s a far cry from the gory films he made his reputation on. Further, it stars Jack Black and Cate Blanchett,...
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘s Production Designer Recreates 1958-era Manhattan
Production designer Bill Groom doesn’t remember much about 1958. After all, he was just eight years old when the feisty and fictitious Midge Maisel roamed the streets of New York. So when Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband Dan Palladino asked him to conjure mid-century Manhattan for their Amazon period piece comedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which started streaming on Amazon earlier this month, Groom did what he always does: research. Lots of research. Groom, who won four Emmy awards for designing 1920s-era Atlantic City in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire crime drama (read our interview with him about that here),...
Groot Sasses and T’Challa Inspires in New Avengers: Infinity War Teaser
The Avengers are our only hope to save the universe. If a heavily armed group of mutants, aliens, superheroes, super minds, and gods can’t stop Thanos (Josh Brolin), who can? And yet, success is not guaranteed. A new Avengers: Infinity War spot threatens that loss is inevitable—we already know for sure one of our favorites won’t be back after Avengers 4. But will the loss come in the battle or the war?...
Watch Carrie Fisher Slap Oscar Isaac Silly in Fantastic Star Wars: The Last Jedi Gag Reel
We’ve shared a lot of juicy behind-the-scenes videos from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Like this video about some very good dogs helping them create the crystal foxes), or this one, which includes 11-minutes of footage from the documentary The Director and the Jedi. These morsels of Star Wars goodness began hitting the internet in the lead up to the release of The Last Jedi‘s digital HD became available,...
Captain Marvel Brings Three Marvel Characters Back from the Dead
With Disney confirming that Captain Marvel is officially in production, more details are now emerging, and those include the cast list. It looks like three Marvel characters we had said goodbye to are returning, one of whom brings a smile to our face (all three are superb actors, and their involvement is great for the film.)
The first name is a lovable (if a little gruff) character we lost in Josh Whedon’s The Avengers...
Mark Hamill Reveals George Lucas’s Abandoned Ending for Star Wars: Episode IX
When George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney, he was also letting go of control over his vision of how his epic Skywalker saga, beginning with 1977’s Star Wars, would end. Lucas had given Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm’s president, a treatment for the new trilogy once Disney acquired the rights, but ultimately it was J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan’s vision for The Force Awakens which kicked things off and set the new trilogy in motion. The Force Awakens led to Rian Johnson’s unique,...
The Russo Brothers Hilariously Acknowledge Hawkeye’s Avengers: Infinity War Absence
Hey, remember last Monday when we shared this awesome Hawkeye-centric Avengers: Infinity War poster created by artist Boss Logic? Well, the Russo Brothers, the gentlemen directing the film, have heard all about the concerns from Team Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner, obviously) about his absence from promotional materials, have seen Boss Logic’s epic poster, and have responded. That’s right, the dynamic duo who filmed Infinity War and Avengers 4 back-to-back changed their Facebook cover image to include Boss Logic’s ode to Clint Barton,...
This Disney/Pixar Bracket is Destroying Friendships in the Best Possible Way
Sometimes, every once in a while, a thing on the internet that everyone is doing or obsessed with is actually quite lovely and harmless. This is one of those times. Everyone has a favorite Disney movie and everyone is prepared to argue why their favorite is the best. If you’re a Lion King person and someone, even a loved one, comes at you spouting off about how The Little Mermaid reigns supreme, there are gonna be words. ...
New Avengers: Infinity War Posters Assemble Humanity’s Last Hope in Intriguing Pairings
They’re all here. In intriguing groupings that likely speak to alliances within the larger group in Avengers: Infinity War, five new posters gather your heroes, with all their varied skills, histories and heartaches. Let’s have a look, and tease out the potential narrative behind the graphic design.
Consider this your Avengers: New York poster, as all of these superheroes are based there. As the Avenger who kicked off the MCU in 2008 with the original Iron Man,...
Ayşe Toprak on her Groundbreaking Documentary Mr. Gay Syria
The devastating Syrian civil war has made an impact on international film audiences largely thanks to two powerful documentaries: the Oscar-winning The White Helmets (2016) and the Oscar nominee Last Men in Aleppo (2017). Although director Ayşe Toprak’s new documentary Mr. Gay Syria tells its story against the backdrop of the civil war that’s killed 300,000 people since it began in 2011 and caused five million to flee and become refugees, it also tells another,...
Beirut Screenwriter Tony Gilroy on Writing, Waiting, and Rocky Receptions
Tony Gilroy might have made his screenwriting debut with the 1992 cult ice-rink romance The Cutting Edge, but for much of his long, illustrious run in the business, he has focused on thrills and action. As both as a writer (the first four chapters of the Bourne franchise, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Great Wall) as well as directing (Michael Clayton, nominated for seven Oscars including director and picture;...
Black Panther Tops The Avengers as Highest-Grossing Superhero Movie of All Time
How many different ways can you write “All hail the King“? Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is now the highest grossing superhero film in the U.S. of all time. It has raked in $631 million to date at the domestic box office, nabbing another $17 million this past weekend, pushing it past Joss Whedon’s The Avengers $623 million total in 2012.
Coogler’s juggernaut benefited from a young filmmaker at the top of his game,...
A Fun Theory About the Solo: A Star Wars Story Villain
At the 51-second mark of the Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer you may be getting a glimpse of the film’s villain. What you can be sure of is he’s not Han’s new buddy (you don’t prepare to unholster your Blaster when you meet an old friend), and he’s one bad looking dude, sporting a cool looking mask (how come the good guys in Star Wars never get cool masks?) and some serious backup...
