Art Imitating Life: Clint Eastwood Cast Real Heroes for Upcoming The 15:17 to Paris
Clint Eastwood took yet another daring move, this time in regards to his upcoming film The 15:17 to Paris. Variety reports that the film will tell the story of the three American friends-turned-heroes when they prevented a terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 headed for Paris.

WB Leaning Towards The Shallows Director Jaume Collet-Serra for Suicide Squad 2
Director Jaume Collet-Serra has put together a fine career of making taut thrillers on relatively modest budgets. His last film, The Shallows, was a smart, pared down woman-vs-shark thriller that took a thin, if clever conceit (Blake Lively's character is only 200 yards from shore, but there's a great white after her, and there's no way she can make it back to shore without confronting the shark) and teased out every last drop of tension...

Christoper Nolan Working on 4K Remaster of The Dark Knight Trilogy
Christopher Nolan is on a press tour for his upcoming film Dunkirk, which will be shown in a stunning 70mm print and is already receiving some very early raves (theatrical reviews are embargoed, so these raves have been mostly people who saw the film in press screenings and who have turned to social media to give some variation of “wow”). Nolan has long been a director at the very forefront of film technology,...
Felicity Jones to Star in Swan Lake Adaptation
The famous 1875 Tchaikovsky ballet Swan Lake is being turned into a feature film. The film’s script is written by Kristina Lauren Anderson and is set to be directed by Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash). Felicity Jones (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) will star in the feature film.

Watch Kit Harington’s Surprising Game Of Thrones Audition Tape
While you know that Kit Harington eventually landed the plum role of Jon Snow on HBO’s Game of Thrones, you likely weren’t aware that Harington actually auditioned for several different parts. For the first time, thanks to showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, you can now watch those screen tests. They shared them with Jimmy Kimmel, so you can be assured these are real, and not an elaborate, hilarious skit.
Harington as Hodor about had us falling out of our seats...
Deadpool Congratulates Wonder Woman for Beating his B.O.
Deadpool was the surprise smash hit of the superhero world in 2016, taking in a staggering $363 million and wowing movie insiders for doing so in its own raunchy, R-rated way. After lobbying for years to get the film made, Ryan Reynold’s commitment and passion created a superhero for our time, one who broke the fourth wall, made fun of himself (and other superheroes), and, oh yeah, kicked some butt and saved his girl.
That was last year—2017 belongs to Wonder Woman,...
New The Grand Tour Trailer Shows Moments Right Before Richard Hammond’s Near Fatal Crash
Amazon’s series The Grand Tour stars former Top Gear stars Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May follows the three funny, often argumentative buddies as they geek out about cars, have Mike Skinner, a NASCAR driver they call “The American” test drive cars, and generally gleefully misbehave, have fun with cars, and make fun of each other.
However last season things got real scary real fast. Hammond was involved in a terrifying crash when he lost control of his car in Switzerland and it burst into flames...
Check out This Game of Thrones Fan’s Animated Spinoff Teaser
The premiere of the second-to-last season of Game of Thrones this Sunday will undoubtedly be a bittersweet occasion. While ending the year-long wait for the show’s return, the countdown of the final thirteen episodes of the series also begins. Given the grand-scale success of the show – both critically and in the eyes of audiences – it’s no wonder the possibility of several spin-off series is being seriously discussed. George R.R. Martin has created a robust world,...
Christopher Nolan Discusses What it Would Take for him to Helm James Bond
The James Bond series has seen films released regularly since the early 1960s, with the titular spy transcending generations to be as familiar to millennials as he is to their parents. With the successful release of Spectre in late 2015, the time feels ripe for another installment. That said, the future of the series has been less than clear recently. Change is in the air, even as the next film in the series is anticipated in late 2018...
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, there to promote Taylor Sheridan’s Wind River...
Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury Will Likely Appear in Captain Marvel
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."...
Watch This Exclusive Clip From Hickok
On June 12 we published our interview with Luke Hemsworth (Westworld) about Hickok, his starring turn playing the legendary outlaw-turned-lawman "Wild Bill" Hickok. The film opens in select theaters tomorrow, and follows the hard-drinking gunslinger as he tries recreate himself in 1870’s Abilene, Kansas. Yet when you're notorious for being the fastest draw in the world, your old life will likely catch up with you, especially when you decree that no one else can have those guns you're so good at using...
