The First Sicario 2: Soldado Trailer Teases Bracing Thriller
We’ve had the privilege of speaking with Sicario 2: Soldado screenwriter Tyler Sheridan three times. Most recently, it was for his directorial debut, Wind River (which he also wrote), about the murder of a young Native American woman in rural Wyoming. Wind River was the third film in Sheridan’s trilogy about the state of the American frontier, which also included Hell or High Water,
London Wheels Across the Globe in New Mortal Engines Trailer
Life as we know it has ended in the stunning new trailer for Mortal Engines. With the Earth nearly barren, humans are surviving on ecosystems living on massive mobile machinery that crushes the very sparse remaining trees like blades of grass. Larger cities devour smaller vehicles, presumably to consume their resources.
The movie, based on the novel by Philip Reeves, looks like a Mad Max on steroids with overly industrialized vehicles traversing a dusty landscape.
The IT Special Features Promise More Substance and Scares
Stephen King’s IT runs more than 1,000 pages, and although Andy Muschetti and the rest of the filmmaking team split it into 2 films, that’s still a lot of ground to cover. The film does a masterful job of capturing the evil spirit of King’s work, but some things were added, changed, and even deleted. EW posted a hilarious alternate opening scene and Bloody Disgusting has now shared the featurettes and deleted scenes that will accompany the home video release.

Our Top Five (Totally Spoiler Filled) Moments from The Last Jedi
After one of the most visually satisfying light saber fights in the history of Star Wars, Kylo Ren reaches his hand out to Rey and asks her to join him. In an effort to persuade her to form an alliance, he pushes her to let go of the past, insisting she’s held onto it for too long. He names Luke and the Jedi as antiquated ways of life, but his obsession with his own history with Luke turns out to be his greatest downfall yet.
Meet the Man (Besides George Lucas) Who Made Star Wars Possible
Alan Ladd Junior, best known as ‘Laddie’ to friends and business associates, is probably not a name you’ve ever heard before. Yet, as you discuss your thoughts about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, know that without Laddie, Rian Johnson’s film, and the entire Star Wars franchise, would likely never have happened. As a film executive, it was Laddie who gave George Lucas the green light to make Star Wars, considered “the most influential movie executive you’ve never heard of,” by director Amanda Ladd Jones (yup,

Mudbound Composer on the History of African-American Persistence That Inspired the Score
A man’s worth was once tied to his land, and whether they liked it or not, the families who lived and worked on that land were bound to one another. Dee Rees’ Mudbound tells the story of two such families, one black and one white, whose fates are intertwined on a Mississippi farm in the 1940s. With Mudbound, Bessie, and Pariah, Rees has picked away at painful moments in American history and found beautiful,
The X-Men are Returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
It’s official—Disney and Fox have settled on a rather large deal, to the tune of $52 billion, which gives the Mouse House all of 21st Century Fox’s film rights. What this means for viewers, especially for superhero fans, is that the Marvel Cinematic Universe just experienced a Big Bang—and we mean that in a good way.
While Fox will focus its energies on sports and news, Disney’s acquisition of their film rights returns some beloved Marvel properties to the MCU.
Woody Harrelson Joins the Cast of Venom
Woody Harrelson has secured a role in the upcoming Venom movie. Harrelson, who seems to have the superhuman ability to be on multiple sets at once, is reported to have joined the cast. Sources told Variety that details about the role are sparse, but it is likely to be a henchmen type character.
Actor Andy Serkis, a pioneer of motion capture performance, spilled the beans earlier this year that Tom Hardy would be utilizing the technology in Venom’s title role.
New Annihilation Trailer Teases Alex Garland’s Sci-Fi Mind-Blower
After writer/director Alex Garland’s sensational Ex Machina jolted the film world, and reminded viewers why sci-fi is such glorious genre, it was a waiting game to see what he’d do next. When word spread that he was adapting Jeff VanderMeer’s terrifying, incredible eco-horror novel “Annihilation,” it seemed like a match made in a very, very scary version of heaven. And sure enough, the first trailer confirmed that Garland had found the perfect source material.
Wonder Woman‘s Cinematographer on Capturing the Dynamic Essence of Diana Prince
Wonder Woman was exactly who we needed, exactly when we needed her, and she reframed the landscape among a crowded superhero genre. Director Patty Jenkins and her team brought to life a leading character who could feel love, fury, compassion and power in equal parts. Diana Prince and Steve Trevor’s relationship was a romance of equals (well, sort of—Diana was willing to treat him as an equal) that was charming, tender, passionate and heartbreaking.
Transporting, Stellar, Joyous: Critics Hail Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Rian Johnson has a lot riding on Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Before the director’s latest movie even premiered, LucasFilm announced that he would be charged with creating an entirely new trilogy in the Star Wars universe. His future with the franchise will be greatly affected by the success of the latest film, but it looks like all systems are a go. The initial embargoed reviews glowed brighter than the snowy terrain of Hoth.

The Japanese Black Panther Trailer Teases New Wakandan Technology & More
While pretty much all anybody can think about (movie wise, anyway) is this week’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi release (December 15 to be exact), early 2018 belongs to Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. Everything we’ve seen thus far about the film has ratcheted up our excitement level to Hulk-like proportions.

Hugh Jackman Wants to See Wolverine Team Up with Iron Man and The Hulk
Hugh Jackman is currently on press tour for The Greatest Showman, in which he plays one of the biggest names in show business, P.T. Barnum. Jackman, an extremely versatile actor at home in everything from musicals to superhero films is arguably most famous for playing X-Men hero Wolverine. Over the last 17 years, Jackman has embodied the Canadian brute (with a big heart, however), and he’ll probably be answering questions about the role for the rest of his life.
The Goldbergs Composer on Bringing Fresh Life to 1980s Nostalgia
The 1980s were an awkward time for us all. No one escaped the fashion nightmares of track suits in bright colors, the huge hair, and an abundance of shoulder pads. Nearly all sins are forgiven with the passing of time, and The Goldbergs, now in season 5, proves there has been enough space between then and now for us to laugh at ourselves again.
The decade was, however, a golden age for nerds as cinematic classics like Ghostbusters,
