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? With music by everyone from Danger Mouse,...
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, it would be for Peter to don his Spidey suit and web his way downtown...
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, a spy with a selection of skills that are as varied and deadly as Jason Bourne’s,...
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...
The Mummy Takes Tom Cruise Across the Globe
Marvel’s got their MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and this Friday, DC’s Extended Universe will see their next big installment, Wonder Woman, hit theaters across the country (and the reviews are already excellent). Not to be outdone, Universal’s Dark Universe, which makes use of their rich canon of gods and monsters, will release their first official film, Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe...
Extended Wonder Woman ‘Making Of’ Featurette a Must-Watch
We’ve written about how critics are in agreement; Wonder Woman is the best film in the DC Extended Universe by a wide margin. If you want some insight into what director Patty Jenkins, star Gal Gadot and the whole Wonder Woman team did to make a truly excellent superhero film, this extended featurette is just what you’re looking for.
This new featurette looks at how Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) went from being a princess on the remote Amazonian island of Themyscira to World War I-era London,...
Here’s How Justice League Will Connect to Aquaman
This week marks a major moment for Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe with the release of Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman on June 2. The reviews are pouring in, and they are gushing, which bodes very well for the future of DC's films, which included Justice League, due in theaters on November 17, and Aquaman, due out December 21, 2018. While Jenkins' film is Diana Prince (Gal Gadot)'s origin story, set during World War I, it turns out James Wan's ...
Matt Smith on Playing Petulant Royalty in Netflix’s The Crown
One of television’s priciest shows to date, the first season of The Crown offers a faithfully detailed portrait of Elizabeth II’s early years as sovereign. Claire Foy plays the graceful if young queen; the difficult glory faced by her husband, Prince Philip, is portrayed equally well by the British actor Matt Smith (previously one of the doctors on Dr. Who). A lauded naval officer during World War II, Philip had to give up his career as he transitioned into being,...
Check out Finn’s new Blaster From Star Wars: The Last Jedi
The new blaster that Finn (John Boyega) picks up in Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a choice piece of protection. Boyega showed off his new weapon on his Instagram page (apparently writer/director Rian Johnson let him take the prop home with him), and it's a beauty of practical design. It's also probably a good thing that Finn is using a blaster in the new film—his work with a lightsaber in The Force Awakens ...
The Crown & Game of Thrones’ Costume Designer Michele Clapton
Costume designer Michele Clapton, who won an Emmy for her work on Game of Thrones, swapped the diabolical Lannister family for the Windsors to work on Netflix’s The Crown. We talk to Clapton about why a man’s shirt was one of the most pivotal pieces Claire Foy’s Elizabeth wore, why she hates costumes that look like costumes and how she was drawn back to Game of Thrones. ...
Rave Reviews Bode Well for Wonder Woman‘s June 2 Premiere
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot enter the home stretch before the film's June 2 premiere with the knowledge that critics absolutely love what they've done. Sitting at a glorious 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Wonder Woman looks like it's going to be the critical and commercial smash Warner Bros. needed for their relatively young DC Comics cinematic universe. While Man of Steel, Batman V Superman ...
The Stormtrooper who hit his Head Finally Comes Clean, 40 Years Later
Of all the great pieces that were published yesterday to honor the 40th anniversary of Star Wars, we tip our hats to The Hollywood Reporter and writer Ryan Parker for the scoop of the day. One part of Star Wars lore involves a certain Stormtrooper hitting their head on a blast door as he and his comrades move about the Death Star looking for R2-D2 and C-3PO. This is the moment you're looking for:
Ever since then,...
Black Mirror‘s Charlie Brooker & Annabel Jones on TV’s Most Twisted Show
British sci-fi series Black Mirror reflects with chilling plausibility myriad ways in which technology brings out the worst in human behavior — one freestanding episode at a time. Creator Charlie Brooker and producer Annabel Jones, in Los Angeles on a break from shooting the fourth season of their Netflix limited series, say they hate repeating themselves and love the anthology format. "It's lunacy but by doing each episode as a one-off 50-minute film, we're able to take an idea and blow it up within that one episode and not have to worry about creating an arc that sustains for multiple seasons,"...
Director Stephen Daldry on The Creation & Execution of Netflix’s Brilliant The Crown
Rumoured to be the most expensive television show ever produced, the first series of Netflix’s lush period drama The Crown delves deep behind the palace doors into the events around Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to the throne. Director Stephen Daldry (The Hours, Billy Elliot), chats to The Credits about how the idea for The Crown came about, diverting from the truth, why season two is ‘so f*cking interesting’...
Sony Taps Beyond the Lights Director to Helm Spider-Man Spinoff
Sony has a hot hand right now when it comes to Spider-Man and Spidey-related projects. On the Spider-Man: Homecoming front, the studio recently released this new trailer, which further teased the large role Tony Stark will play in the film, and, gave us our first glimpse inside the suit he made for Peter Parker. Then there was the universally praised news that Tom Hardy has been cast to play Venom,...
Netflix Teases new Castlevania Animated Series
Nostalgia itself is no reason to create a film or a television series, but as inspiration, or merely a starting point, it can lead to some pretty spectacular creations. The 1980s have been very good to Netflix; their smash hit Stranger Things, which conjured the decade by way of Steven Spielberg, was enlivened by the passion and wit of the Duffer brothers, the show’s creators, to become much more than mere pastiche. Focused on a missing boy,...
Happy Birthday, Star Wars! The Franchise Turns 40 Today
Star Wars is officially 40 years old. Premiering on this day, May 25, in 1977, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (back then it commonly known simply as Star Wars) first introduced the world to Luke (Mark Hamill), Leia (Carrie Fisher), Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), a certain Wookie and two droids. While hype is the lingua franca of Hollywood, this is one film you can say truly did change the cinematic landscape forever...
