Here are the First Images From Mission: Impossible 6
What is a recipe for action-adventure movie success? Clearly, collaboration between Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise. The duo has yielded such movie as Valkyrie, Edge of Tomorrow, and Jack Reacher. Fans of the Mission: Impossible franchise should be ecstatic that McQuarrie is returning to direct another film in the series after the success of 2015’s Rogue Nation. If the behind-the-scenes photos that have been emerging are any indication,
Watch How Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Utilized Practical Effects to Nearly Kill Rocket
When two of your main characters are a walking and talking (sort of) tree and a talking raccoon, you know that CGI has played a huge part. Yet, you might be surprised to find out that a good portion of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was made with practical effects. In a new behind-the-scenes look at the film, James Gunn and his team explain how one scene, involving Rocket jumping from tree to tree while he’s being shot at from baddies on the ground,
Here’s Your First Look at Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian
Donald Glover seems to be everywhere these days, especially in the wake of the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming. That trend will continue into next year as he takes on the role of Lando Calrissian, the beloved and well-dressed companion of Han Solo and Chewbacca in the upcoming Han Solo spin-off feature, due out in May 2018. Though few clues have been released regarding information about the film,
Check out These Glorious new Photos From Black Panther
Happy Wednesday, Black Panther fans. Marvel Studios and Disney have released a slew of high-resolution images from director Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, and once again we’re given ample reason to count down the days until the film’s release. Coogler’s film, which he co-wrote his longtime collaborator Joe Robert Cole, stars Chadwick Boseman as the titular superhero T’Challa (we first met him on Team Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War),
James Franco Plays Creator of the Greatest Bad Film of all Time in The Disaster Artist Teaser
To some, director/writer/star Tommy Wiseau’s The Room (2003) is the greatest terrible movie of all time. The Room was centered on a melodramatic love triangle between a fun loving banker Johnny (played by Wiseau), his scheming fiance, Lisa (Juliette Davis) and his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero). The film includes a bunch of unrelated subplots, and a conceit that includes Lisa and Tommy’s relationship characterized by “constant, passionate lovemaking,” which results, for some reason,
Talking to Landline Writer/Director Gillian Robespierre & Producer Elisabeth Holm
The year is 1995. Bill Clinton is president, Natalie Merchant sings about the weather, Mad About You is must-see TV, Lorena Bobbitt jokes are all the rage, floppy discs are a clunky necessity – and cellphones are nowhere to be seen.
Director-writer Gillian Robespierre and producer Elisabeth Holm’s first film together, the 2014 art-house circuit darling Obvious Child, was a moving contemporary comedy that focused on a stand-up comic (Jenny Slate) who deals with an unexpected pregnancy after a one-night stand.
Dissecting the Star Wars: The Last Jedi Behind-the-Scenes Sizzle Reel
This might be the most affecting behind-the-scenes sizzle reel you will see in a very long time. Disney and Lucasfilm unveiled the Star Wars: The Last Jedi BTS sizzle reel at this past weekend’s D23 Expo. It was packed with new details, thrilling shots, a few glimpses of key characters, and a moving coda from the late, great Carrie Fisher.
Have a look, and then let’s break it down:

Game of Thrones Season 7 Premiere was Shown in a Moscow Subway Station
Russia has a bit of a recent tortured history with Game of Thrones. On the one hand, clearly people love the show over there. How do we know? Some 350 Muscovites showed up at the Mayakovskaya subway station in central Moscow to watch the premiere, the metro press service reported. It’s part of the city’s Night in Moscow’s Metro cultural project, with several events each year. Amediateka, Game of Thrones’ distributor in Russia,
Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle in Time: A Rite of Passage Becomes a Major Motion Picture
Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time is a timeless tale and incontrovertible rite of passage. Over a decade ago, I myself found the book on my summer reading list. I didn’t have to go far to find a copy, instead pulling my mother’s volume from our basement bookshelf. And in many ways, this generational passing of the baton is apt, for the book is – at its core – a tale wrapped up in themes of family.
Explainer: IMAX Vs. Standard—Here’s Why it Matters That Dunkirk was Shot on 70-mm
The big screen will feel even bigger for some moviegoers watching Dunkirk starting July 21. Director Christopher Nolan shot the World War II drama using 70-millimeter IMAX and 65-mm large-format cameras. And audiences in 125 theaters across the U.S. and Canada will get to see the fruits of those labors in their entirety through large-format 70-millimeter projectors installed at those locations. Warner Bros.,
Ed Sheeran Cameo Continues Game of Thrones History of Incorporating Real Life Musicians Into the Show
The radio isn’t the only place you’ll find Ed Sheeran these days, even as his song “Shape of You” continues to top charts and further establish itself as the song of summer. Sheeran found himself at the heart of another summer sensation when he appeared in the season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones last night. Sheeran, playing a Lannister soldier, shared the screen with fan-favorite Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams,
Six Crucial Questions Raised by Game of Thrones‘ Season 7 Premiere
At long last, we are hurtling into the final episodes of Game of Thrones. Though fans could hardly expect answers to the heftier questions posed in Season 6 (and earlier seasons) to be answered in the first episode of Season 7, we were gifted with an intense look at the new world order that exists in the aftermath of the Season 6 finale. With new information, however, comes a hoard of new questions.
Wonder Woman Continues to Make History
While War for the Planet of the Apes had a big premiere weekend, Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman continued its historic march, becoming the third-biggest Warner Bros. release of all time, and surpassing the final Harry Potter film, 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Jenkins’ film is now in the company of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight
Ron Howard Shares First Chewbacca Photo From set of the Untitled Han Solo Spinoff
Ron Howard is doing the best he can to assuage any fears, be they from fans or from nervous Disney executives, that things on the set of the untitled Han Solo spinoff are just fine. After taking the reigns from Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, there’s been plenty of chatter about what it would mean for the fate of a film people are so excited about. Thus far, at least from what he’s shared on social media,
Jodie Whittaker Cast as the First Female Doctor Who
The 13th Doctor is in, and after 54 years and 12 previous iterations, your doctor is a woman. Broadchurch’s Jodie Whittaker will be stepping in for current Doctor Peter Capaldi after he leaves the show after this year’s Christmas special, giving Doctor Who a thrilling new reason to re-engage with the show next season.
BBC made the announcement yesterday, with this accompanying teaser of a hooded figure walking through a forest towards the TARDIS.
Behold Blade Runner 2049‘s Second Trailer
Simply put, this Blade Runner 2049 trailer is bananas. And we love bananas. Bananas are excellent. Director Denis Villeneuve may have made his peace with the enormous expectations in following Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic, but from everything we’ve seen, he doesn’t need to worry. The latest trailer offers a much more detailed glimpse at the world he, cinematographer Roger Deakins and the 2049 team have created,
Game of Thrones Recap: Season Seven Premiere “Dragonstone”
When Game of Thrones season seven premiere began, we saw a familiar, craggy face staring at us; the raping, disgusting visage of Walder Frey. This was odd, considering the last time we saw this ripe lump of lechery, he was being crossed off Arya Stark’s revenge list with a knife across his throat, the youngest Stark smiling down at him, fulfilling the promise she made to herself that her face would be the last he’d ever see.
Dunkirk’s IMAX Release Magnifies Power of one of History’s Most Miraculous Escapes
History has decided its name: The Miracle of Dunkirk. In May 1940, Germany launched its war against Western Europe with a lightning invasion that saw Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands fall in quick succession. With the Low Countries devoured and a still ravenous appetite, the Nazis turned their gaze to France and continued their advance.
They moved rapidly westward across France toward the sea, eventually cutting off and encircling British Expeditionary and Allied forces in the small northern city of Dunkirk.
How Might Someone Kill Daenerys’ Dragons?
It has been a long and winding road – or rather flight – for Daenerys’ dragons since we saw them hatch in the finale of Game of Thrones’ first season. Powerful from the first, the dragons’ growth since then has only reinforced perceptions of Dany’s invincibility. Audiences have seen them wreak massive damage with only a single burst of flame. As Dany draws steadily nearer her goal of conquering Westeros,
Intriguing Game of Thrones Fan Theories to Digest Before Sunday’s Season 7 Premiere
What exactly do Game of Thrones fans do during the notoriously long waits between seasons? If the overwhelming number of ideas on the internet right now is any indication, they spend ample time rereading the books and developing theories. With the show returning this weekend, fans might just see some of these theories become fact.
Though never a likable character, Cersei’s use of wildfire to massacre hundreds at the Sept of Baelor in last season’s finale left her with more enemies than ever.
