Game of Thrones May Break Record for Fire Stunt in Season 7
You have to love the ambitious, slightly mad professionals who work on Game of Thrones. For TV's biggest, wildest series, simply setting a few stunt professionals on fire is never enough. Up until season seven, arguably the craziest practical effect created by the GOT team took place in season five's "The Dance of Dragons." This was the sequence in which Daenerys' largest dragon, Drogon, swooped in to save her from the fighting pit in Meereen.
Star Wars: Episode IX Director Colin Trevorrow on Honoring Carrie Fisher
Star Wars: Episode IX writer/director Colin Trevorrow was just as shocked and saddened by the loss of Carrie Fisher late last year as the rest of us. What differentiates him from us, of course, is that he has been preparing for the final film in the new trilogy, one in which Fisher was to play a big part. The late, great icon had already finished filming her scenes for Rian Johnson's upcoming The Last Jedi,
See how They Created Wolverine’s Claws in Action in Logan
If you had to pick a single mutant attribute as the most iconic of them all, you’d have to go with Wolverine’s adamantium claws. For 16-years we’ve watched these razor-sharp, indestructible and retractable weapons emerge from Hugh Jackman’s hands, and for most of that time, what we’ve been seeing was the work of the props department. However, when Wolvy needs to sink his claws into somebody, the visual effects team steps in, and we’ve never seen those claws put to bloodier use than we did in James Mangold’s thrilling,
Wonder Woman is the Best Kind of Feminist Superhero
When William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman for DC Comics in 1941, he invented a character neither comic books nor television had yet seen — an independent swashbuckling bondage-inspired heroine, admirable in equal parts for her smarts, superhuman physical abilities, and the sexy way she threw off the chains of the evil men who would drag her down. It was an S&M-inflected commentary, at the time, on the more subtly insidious ways that men tried to hold back fierce and capable women,
Watch Rough Night‘s Superb Cast Play ‘Would you Rather’
There is a lot of reason to believe that director Lucia Aniello’s (Broad City, The Traveling Bong) Rough Night could be one of the summer’s funniest films. Aniello’s comedic chops are indisputable, as she’s helped turn Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson’s Broad City into one of the most hilarious, consistently inventive comedies on television. In Rough Night, Aniello could do for the ladies what The Hangover did for the guys,
Thor’s Still Annoyed he Missed out on the Fight in Captain America: Civil War
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has become an unlikely fount of comedy, threatening to take Tony Stark's title of funniest Avenger. Ever since he was left out of Captain America: Civil War (he and the Hulk were off on their own adventures), Marvel has been having fun with Thor's reaction to the slight. There were those very funny videos of what it would be like to live with Thor (spoiler alert—extremely annoying) while the rest of his buddies were battling it out,
Watch the First Trailer For Tom Cruise’s Drug Caper American Made
The dyanmic duo of Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman, who teamed up to make the critically accalimed Edge of Tomorrow, are back at it in Universal Pictures’ American Made, based on the very real international escapade of a hustler and pilot (Cruise) who is unexpectedly recruited by the CIA to run one of the biggest covert operations in U.S. history, and nearly topples the Reagan administration in the process.
Rejoice in Wonder Woman‘s Smashing Weekend With These Gorgeous Posters
Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, already a critical hit heading into the weekend, seems to have bested Warner Bros. predictions with a haul of over $100-million in the US and more than $220-million worldwide. This would make Wonder Woman the largest opening ever for a female director, and confirms that Jenkins and Gal Gadot, the woman who so joyously embodies Wonder Woman in the film, have achieved the kind of world-beating success that their male counterparts have long enjoyed.
The Crown‘s DP on Capturing TV’s Most Lush Period Drama
The beautifully shot and lavishly produced Netflix series The Crown has raised the bar in terms of the quality that we can expect from a television series. Cinematographer Adriano Goldman chats to The Credits about how he went about achieving this, creating intimacy in grand locations and why he approached the story as though it was fiction.
Congratulations on your work on The Crown.
New The Mummy Clips Show Tom Cruise in all Sorts of Trouble

Watch the Final Trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight
A new and very wild Transformers: The Last Knight trailer has debuted, with relentless action and but a single line of dialogue (from Sir Anthony Hopkins, no less).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9yEbZrDF-Q
So what do we think those massive chunks of metal are? Considering they’re crashing into Earth and doing some serious damage (especially to Egypt’s tourist economy), they can’t be a good thing. What we know from past teasers and trailers is that The Last Knight will delve into the Transformer’s long and secret history of being involved in human affairs,
Idris Elba Faces Down Evil in 3 New The Dark Tower Teasers
Nikolaj Arcel's The Dark Tower has a lot going for it. It has the sensational source material (Stephen King's ambitious multi-series novel), and two massively magnetic actors portraying the central roles, Idris Elba as the Gunslinger, and Matthew McConaughey as the Man in the Black. Now Sony has dropped three fresh teasers giving us a longer look at the film, beginning with the below teaser, entitled "Earth."
Canto Bight Will be Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s Mos Eisley, Only for Rich People
While writer/director Rian Johnson and the Star Wars: The Last Jedi team managed to keep plot details under wraps during Vanity Fair's set visit, there were some choice details revealed. Writer David Kamp wrote what will VF billed as 'the definitive preview,' and along with the gorgeous photos by Annie Leibovitz, you'd be hard pressed to argue the claim.
New Baby Driver Trailer Highlights the Best Heist Movie in Years
We told you this past March, and we’re telling you again; go see Baby Driver when it comes out on June 28. But don't take our word for it, watch this new "TeKillYa" trailer and you'll see for yourself that Edgar Wright's heist flick is as close to an action masterpiece as you can get, and we mean that quite literally.
You see what we mean?
Peter Messes up Tim Duncan’s Order in Spider-Man: Homecoming NBA Finals Spot
Sony Pictures is making the most of the NBA Finals by creating some breezy, funny Spider-Man: Homecoming spots around. The latest, which aired last night during the game (which Golden State won in a blowout) stars Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), Tony Stark's right hand man, and of course Peter Parker (Tom Holland). It seems that at Tony's party, a certain Tim Duncan is hungry, and Happy decides the quickest way to get food isn't delivery,
Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman on Target for big Opening Weekend
Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman has yet to open, but the film already has the entire world talking. Former Israeli supermodel turned actress Gal Gadot (Fast and Furious) stars in the film’s title role, and so far nearly every news item about the film has been positive. The Gadot/Jenkins power-duo creates the first-ever super-hero film that is female centric, and is riding a wave of excellent reviews towards its premiere tomorrow,
Watch an A-List Cast Under Suspicion in Murder on the Orient Express Trailer
Director/star Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express is a star-studded caper that, like the great Sidney Lumet's adaptation from 1974, looks to turn Agatha Christie's 1934 novel into cinematic gold. Adapted by screenwriter Michael Green (Logan, Alien: Covenant), Branagh not only directs the film, but stars as detective Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective who Christie made famous in 33 novels. The plot is baked right there in the title; A lavish train ride through Europe is turned into a crime scene when a passenger is murdered,
Watch Charlize Theron Kick Butt in new Atomic Blonde Clip
Stunt coordinator turned director David Leitch is unsurprisingly one of the best in the business at staging fights, and in Atomic Blonde, he has actually outdone his work in the original John Wick. Charlize Theron is an absolute wrecking ball in Leitch's spy thriller, and as this new clip highlights, she has become the perfect vessel for Leitch's brand of brilliantly staged, meticulously crafted stunt set pieces. Theron plays Agent Lorraine Broughton,
Gladiator Hulk and More Awesome Images From Thor: Ragnarok
The last time we checked in on Thor: Ragnarok, it was making history as the most watched trailer in Marvel and Disney history in 24 hours. Since then, we shared a story about how director Taiki Waiti was doing double duty on the film—he's also playing Korg—but things have been otherwise fairly quiet on the Thor front.
Then the Russo brothers posted a new photo to their Instagram feed,
Godzilla vs. Kong Lands a Director
Before he was helming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Gareth Edwards brought Godzilla back on the big screen in 2014 in a major way. Godzilla's mythology, his reason for being, and his place in the pantheon of monsters (he is the king) were all laid out in Edwards' rollicking film. What's more, Godzilla was humanity's savior in the film, albeit one who can't help creating a lot of collateral damage as he tries to take down two monsters who have no problem eradicating every person on the planet.
