James Cameron Wants to Make a new Terminator Trilogy
For people of a certain generation, the only Terminators that rate are the ones made by James Cameron. The first two in the franchise were all his, 1984’s The Terminator, and 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and they were groundbreaking works of sci-fi. Now, the maestro of robot mayhem wants to bring about a new trilogy of Terminators. This coming from a guy who is fairly busy already;
Is There a Secret Hidden in Game of Thrones‘ Opening Credits?
If you think the Emmy-winning title sequence of Game of Thrones is simply a pretty recap of Westeros geography, think again.

How Emmy Nominated Queen Sugar and 13th DP Kira Kelly is Breaking the Mold
It was a no brainer for cinematographer Kira Kelly to take the call when director Ava DuVernay sought her out.

Get Your First Look at one of Godzilla 2‘s Monsters—Mothra
Although Warner Bros. is calling the film Godzilla 2, its instructive to know it was once called Godzilla: King of Monsters.

Everyone loves movies because they look cool, and that was especially true of the people who came to Muto’s panel on production design. “You know those images that get buried in your lizard brain,” he asked.

Game of Thrones Recap: “Stormborn”
Well, Game of Thrones season seven has their first official villain (not counting Cersei, or the Night’s King, or the ice giant Wun Wun), and it’s Euron Greyjoy. Granted, in Westeros, “bad” is mostly relative, but when someone comes around who really likes killing, your Ramsay Boltons or your Mountains, you can credibly chalk them up in the villain category, and Euron Greyjoy is most certainly a villain. The second episode of the seventh episode,
