Deadpool Spinoff X-Force Will be Written & Directed by Daredevil’s Drew Goodard

We haven’t yet met the X-Force, who will make their debut in the upcoming Deadpool 2, but Fox is busy preparing for their spinoff film. The studio has tapped Josh Goodard, who has been a hugely successful writer and director, and who recently has done such excellent work on Marvel’s Daredevil, to write and director the X-Force film, which will focus on the titular mutant warriors. The X-Force are like a superpowered Black Ops team,

Let’s Have a Look at This Potent new Blade Runner 2049 Footage

We are a mere few weeks away from Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049, and if you’re anything like us, you’re torn between wanting to see every bit of new footage, and resisting so you can go into the theater knowing next to nothing. We, of course, always air on the side of watching (and writing about) every new spot, teaser, trailer and short film associated with Villeneuve’s sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic.

The Deuce Costume Designer on Dressing the Pimps & Working Girls of 1970s Times Square

When it came to crafting an authentic look for the Times Square hustlers at the center of HBO’s birth-of-pornography series The Deuce (debuting Sunday), costume designer Anna Terrazas enjoyed an invaluable resource in the person of show co-creator George Pelecanos. Long before he teamed with David Simon (The Wire) to produce this 1971 period piece, Pelecanos sold shoes. “George used to work in a shoe store in the seventies,

Flatliners Composer Nathan Barr on Using Nails as an Instrument, Hans Zimmer & More

Likely best known for scoring the entirety of HBO’s now-culturally iconic True Blood, composer Nathan Barr’s career is hardly limited to accompaniment music for genteel Southern vampires. He’s currently working on projects as diverse as a new version of Flatliners (out September 29th and starring Keifer Sutherland and Ellen Page), AMC’s new western series The Son, and the ongoing The Americans. With films like The Boy Next Door,

The Suicide Squad is getting back together under new leadership. Variety reported that The Accountant’s Gavin O’Connor has been tapped to direct the antihero misfits in the sequel.

Is Wonder Woman Going to Make an Appearance in Aquaman?

The Amazons are suiting up again, and we’re dying to know what battle is brewing in Themiscyra. Wonder Woman stunt actress Madeleine Vall Beijner posted a throwback pic from the set teasing that her and her fellow warriors are heading back to Italy for filming. Wonder Woman was a major win for DC Comics, and will definitely be getting a sequel, but we’re not expecting the 2nd installment until 2019.

How Thor: Ragnarok Connects to Marvel Cinematic Universe

There’s a lot of Thor: Ragnaork news on the internet today, thanks to several outlets making a set visit to Brisbane, Australia, in September of last year finally publishing their pieces. Reporters from outlets including Slashfilm and Collider were able to discover a lot during their stay. If you’re not allergic to spoilers, you can read Slasfilm‘s three-page compendium, but we wanted to offer something for those of you who want to be surprised,

Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Here’s Your First Look at Non-Holographic Snoke

When we first encountered Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, he was a large, semi-opaque hologram, seated on a throne and hovering over Kylo Ren. Snoke’s general vagueness was, of course, by design. As the new trilogy’s version of the Emperor, Snoke is meant to be shadowy, powerful, and mysterious. But we’re living in the age of the internet hive mind, which means any and all mysteries will be puzzled over by thousands of fans,

Here’s How They Made That Disgusting Greyscale Surgery Scene on Game of Thrones

Poor Jorah Mormont. The long suffering son of Lord Commander Jeor Mormont (the latter died believing his son was a failure and traitor to the family name) lived in exile in Essos, eventually finding himself commissioned to spy on Daenerys Targaryen. Initially pretending to be her advisor, Jorahn eventually fell in love with Dany, and believed her to be the best possible ruler of Westeros. Unfortunately for Jorah, Dany found out he had been sent to spy on her,

Rami Malek dazzles in the lead role of Mr. Robot, but taking on the legendary Queen front man is another challenge entirely. Malek is set to play the greatest voice in the history of rock, Freddie Mercury, in upcoming biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

Malek wasn’t sure if he could step into the rock icon’s skin,

IT Reviews Suggest This is the Horror Film of the Year

IT reviews are out and they all indicate that this is a must-see Stephen King adaptation. A major draw will be the scares and seeing a new actor as Pennywise the clown, but the real satisfaction of the film promises to be the comprehensive way in which the story is told. Horror movies often bring in audiences by raising the death toll, but IT dives deeper. The collective memory of coming of age a la 

Trophy Doc Takes Unflinching Look at World of Big Game Hunting

It takes a lot to rattle Brooklyn-based documentary maker Shaul Schwarz, who mingled with drug dealers to make his earlier feature Narco Cultura and weathered numerous war zones in his earlier career as a photojournalist. But two years ago, Schwarz was shaken to the core when he filmed game hunters killing an elephant in the wilds of Namibia. “That was really tough to be honest, because I’d never seen elephants before in the wild,”

See Michael Fassbender in new, Riveting The Snowman Trailer

Tomas Alfredson‘s The Snowman is a film we’ve been patiently waiting for, and finally, a new trailer has arrived. Be warned, however; if you want to go into this adaptation of writer Jo Nesbø‘s terrific (and often terrifying) book without knowing much, you’ll want to avoid watching this trailer. The book has so many juicy, disturbing secrets to reveal, and no doubt Alfredson made the most out of them in his film, that’s why it might be best to avoid this and any other trailers.

Star Wars: Episode IX: Will Rian Johnson Take Over as Director?

While you’re probably still adjusting to the fact that Colin Trevorrow is no longer directing Star Wars: Episode IX, the film world is already into deep speculation on who might replace him. The most iconic film franchise in the world is currently without a leader for the final installment in the final trilogy of the Skywalker saga, so you can be sure the hunt is on. Some of the big time names that have been bandied about are Ava DuVernay,

Fall Read/Watch List: Check out These Books Before Their Cinematic Adaptations Arrive

Each year, there are a wide variety of new films that have been adapted from novels, biographies and memoirs. In 2017 alone, disparate movies like Fifty Shades Darker, The Shack, A Dog’s Purpose, The Zookeeper’s Wife and The Dark Tower were adapted from books.

As the fall movie season gets underway,

Game of Thrones VFX Reel Reveals how They Built the Battle Beyond the Wall

While the chatter from the super kinetic seventh season of Game of Thrones begins to fade, some of the key folks who helped bring the season to life are showing off their work.

Is Leonardo DiCaprio Going to be the Next Joker?

This would be the casting coup of the century for any superhero-related film, even more so than nabbing Christian Bale for the Dark Knight trilogy—The Hollywood Reporter has it that Warner Bros. is shooting for the moon on their Joker origin film, hoping that by bringing Martin Scorese onboard as producer, they may be able to lure his muse, Leonardo DiCaprio, to take up the iconic role.
