Blade Runner 2049 Director Denis Villeneuve Makes Peace With Enormous Expectations
If there was ever a reason to believe that Arrival and Sicario director Denis Villeneuve was the right man to helm the Blade Runner sequel that didn't depend on his obvious skill, we present you his honesty and humility when asked about the monumental task of creating a sequel to an iconic film from a legendary director.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the CineEurope trade show in Barcelona, Villeneuve discussed the massive expectations,...
Annabelle: Creation Trailer Shows off the Scariest Doll Since Chucky
Warner Bros has had a hot hand with horror since 2013’s The Conjuring (produced by New Line Cinema and directed by the great James Wan) was a commercial and critical success.

Director Colin Trevorrow had The Last Jedi‘s Rian Johnson Film Something for Episode IX
You might recall how during the filming of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, director Rian Johnson, prepping the next film in the new trilogy, asked director J.J. Abrams if he might accommodate a small tweak to his film. Abrams obliged, and once Johnson's The Last Jedi comes out, perhaps we'll find out exactly what that tweak was. A similar situation has happened during Johnson's production; Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow asked him for a favor while he was shooting The Last Jedi...

After 40 Years, Valerian And the City of a Thousand Planets Becomes a Reality
Many people have their passion projects, the ones that they pour their heart and soul into, and that is precisely what Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is for director Luc Besson. Forty years after falling in love with the “Valerian and Laureline” comics when he was 10 years old, Besson has been waiting to bring the story to the big screen, but for myriad reasons, many of them technological, he was never able to fully execute his vision…until a certain film became a phenomenon eight years ago...
Scarlett Johansson Teases Insane Avengers: Infinity War Scene With 30 + Characters
While Scarlett Johansson had a lot to discuss on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert this past Friday, the big thing that'll excite you Marvel-heads and superhero fans in general is when she discussed the Russo Brothers upcoming Avengers: Infinity War.
Johansson discusses how she's pretty sure there are more than 60 Marvel characters in the film. In fact, in one scene in particular, there were so many characters—many of them Marvel superheroes—that she had trouble identifying who was actually in the film and who might have been a crew member. You can watch her discuss the upcoming film at 8:20 mark in the below video:
The closest any film in the MCU has gotten to this kind of maximum superhero involvement was in the epic airport battle scene in ...

When we wrote that Sony had made some major moves with their Spider-Man spinoffs, Venom (casting Tom Hardy) and Silver and Black (nabbing director Gina Prince-Bythewood), we were always hoping that they’d eventually intersect with Spider-Man. Now, Spider-Man: Homecoming producer Amy Pascal has said that all three of the films will exist in the same world, leaving the possibility open that Tom Holland’s Spidey could pop up in the spinoffs...

And Rough Night Makes Three (Bachelorette Parties from Hell)
A party weekend in Miami, a dead stripper, cocaine. A friend group’s freewheeling members forcing their uptight pals to just chill out (and take the coke, already).

Make it a bachelorette and replace Judd with director Lucia Aniello (of web series to Comedy Central mainstay Broad City), and we’ve got the second woman-led caper of the summer, Rough Night...

When Tupac Shakur got beaten by a couple of Oakland cops for jaywalking, Eddie Gonzalez, co-writer of the late rapper's All Eyez on Me bio-pic (opening Friday) could relate.

Watch the Intense Trailer for Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit
Kathryn Bigelow is a phenomenal director, and one of her many skills is her ability to create thrilling, unfussy action sequences that put her in a league of her own. While the modern action sequence is typified by quick cuts, confusion, and close-ups, Bigelow’s approach is to orient the viewer in space so that what she’s showing us, whether it’s a bomb squad doing their terrifying work in The Hurt Locker or the raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound in Zero Dark Thirty,...

The likes of Matt Damon, Kobe Bryant, Meryl Streep and Chris Pratt have donated their time to the cool crowd funding site, but the latest campaign may have outdone all that came before.
The cast of Dodgeball filmed an in character reunion video supporting, what else, The Stiller Foundation. Ben Stiller adorned the memorable blonde wig and what must be buckets of self-tanner to bring gym bully White Goodman back to life...
What to Watch During Pride Month
Officially, it’s LGBT Pride month in the United States and Canada (happy second Pride, northern neighbors!), with marches, rallies, and festivals taking place from Berlin to Tel Aviv to commemorate the June 1969 Stonewall Riots. After heading to — or in place of, should there be none — your local Christopher Street Day Festival, have a movie night in a celebration of LGBT life and culture in all its on-screen forms. Here are a few suggestions for what to watch other than Brokeback Mountain (with all due respect to the Ang Lee’s iconic “gay cowboy movie”...
