Meet Joe Bang, Daniel Craig’s Thoughtful Criminal Steven Soderbergh’s Lucky Logan

We were very excited when we saw the first trailer for Steven Soderbergh's Lucky Logan, the director's return to the big screen. The film follows Jimmy Logan (Tatum) who, after being fired from his construction job, decides he's going to reverse his family's terrible luck by taking matters into his own hands. His idea? To steal $14 million from the Charlotte Motor Speedway, a very brazen heist that's made all the more courageous considering his history of bad luck and his hapless co-conspirators.

Watch The Dark Tower‘s Mesmerizing Second International Trailer

Sony’s already had a certifiable hit this summer with Edgar Wright’s deliciously delirious, music-obsessed Baby Driver, but don’t think the studio is done. They’ve got The Dark Tower coming, the adaptation of Stephen King’s acclaimed series, with a new international trailer that puts the focus on the film’s two megastars—Idris Elba’s the Gunslinger and Matthew McConaughey’s the Man in Black. 

The new trailer is the most propulsive yet,

Extreme Contrast: DP Shoots FX’s Fargo and Legion

Calgary-based cinematographer Craig Wrobleski happened to be in the right place at the right time four years ago when the makers of FX series Fargo came calling with an urgent request. "At the end of their first season, it was an intense schedule and they needed someone to help shoot some second unit stuff in Alberta," he says. "I live south of Calgary and had just finished another show, so they asked me to do some establishing shots."

One More Reason to see Spider-Man: Homecoming: Michael Keaton’s The Vulture

By now you've already heard how good Spider-Man: Homecoming is. We've already told you about how Marc Daniel of the Toronto Sun called it "one of the best films in Marvel's cinematic universe," while Entertainment Weekly’s Leah Greenblatt marveled that the fact "the movie comes off as loose and sweet and light on its feet as it does feels like sort of minor Marvel miracle."

Jeremy Renner Fractures Both Arms During Stunt on set of Tag

First thing’s first; Jeremey Renner’s going to be okay. Yes, the man who plays the sharp shooting Hawkeye in the Avengers fractured both of his arms during a stunt on the set of Tag, a comedy that was filming in Atlanta. He fractured his right elebow and his left wrist, to be exact. Variety reports that Renner explained this while speaking at a Karlovy Vary Film Festival press conference on Friday,

Every once in a while, someone on a fan site will toss out a theory or a rumor, like, say, Samuel L. Jackson will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time since 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, and turn out to be right. Now Deadline is reporting that Jackson’s Nick Fury will be making an appearance in directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s Captain Marvel.

Dressing the The Handmaid’s Tale From Covered Head to Booted Toe

Costume designer Ane Crabtree exerted plenty of impact on pop couture through her mob suits featured in The Sopranos and the robot cowboy outfits she made for Westworld. But nothing prepared the cheerful 52-year old wardrobe auteur for The Handmaid’s Tale. In the Hulu series based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, she dressed Elizabeth Moss' slave woman Offred and other female characters forced to bear children in the near-future fascist state of "Elysium."

Here’s why two Amazing Sequences Didn’t Make it Into Spider-Man: Homecoming

In the first international trailer for the now officially critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Homecoming, there's a sequence at the very end that had fans salivating.

Talking to The Journey’s Director Nick Hamm on Facing Ireland’s History Head-on

Belfast-born producer-director Nick Hamm has worked mostly in British television, although he's also directed theater and movies. As a filmmaker, he's drawn to stories that are contemporary, set close to home and involve real-life characters. 2011's Killing Bono was a comedy about teenage rockers upstaged by the Dublin schoolmates who founded U2. Hamm's new movie, The Journey, is a sometimes comic drama that fictionalizes a pivotal 2006 van ride shared by two confirmed enemies: Sinn Fein leader Martin McGuinness (Colm Meaney) and Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) founder Ian Paisley (Timothy Spall).

Sony Drops Teaser for Steven Spielberg’s Iconic Sci-Fi Slow Burn Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Talk about a sly, under-the-radar (pun intended, you’ll see why) film tease. Over the long, hot July 4th weekend, Sony released a brand new teaser for Steven Spielberg’s seminal sci-fi slow-burn Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), which of course begs the question; are they re-releasing the film? It sure looks that way, considering along with the teaser, a website has popped up which celebrates the 40th anniversary of the classic film.

In the last ten years, more than 30 films based upon Marvel comic book characters have premiered, more than five times what was produced between 1944 – when the first iteration of Captain America was released – and 2000, a span of 56 years. Though not even ten years old, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already garnered an immense following. Beyond a mere surge in quantity, the films that have been arising out of the MCU have been smashing box office records and attracting attention unlike ever before.
