Ridley Scott Says Alien: Covenant Sequel to Start Filming in 14 Months
With Alien: Covenant scoring positive early reviews, Ridley Scott is already talking about the sequel (and Covenant isn’t even out until May 19!). Starting with 2012’s Prometheus, Scott has been reverse engineering the Alien mythology, leading us back to his iconic 1979 masterpiece that started it all—and inspired countless sci-fil films since.
Considering Scott has been working on this since well before 2012, his contention that they’ll be filming the sequel in 14 months is really not that surprising...
Watch the First Teaser for Bryan Singer’s X-Men Show The Gifted
With Legion already a critical and commercial success, one wondered what the X-Men movies most seasoned director, Bryan Singer, would do with his show The Gifted. One thing you can count on (and you’ll glean this from the teaser) is that it’s not going to be like Legion at all. As Singer told Mashable earlier this year, The Gifted is a very different kind of story from both Legion and his own work in the cinematic X-Men universe:
“I’ll tell you,...
Meet Baby Driver, the Beethoven of Get Away Driving
We told you this past March, and we’re telling you again; go see Baby Driver when it comes out on June 28. Edgar Wright's heist flick is as close to an action masterpiece as you can get, and we mean that quite literally. The film's conceit is a finely tuned thrill ride; a very young and very gifted getaway driver named Baby (Ansel Elgort) has to listen to his own bespoke playlists while he drives,...
Transformers: The Last Knight Reveals Secret History
“It started as legend. One of the greatest of all, one of the oldest of all. But every legend, has a secret.” – Sir Edmund Burton.
Sir Edmund Burton is played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, and its' his voice that we first hear in Paramount’s new “Secret History” featurette for Transformers: The Last Knight. Michael Bay has been teasing the Transformers long-standing presence on Earth for a while, making explicit reference to it in Age of Extinction,...
Watch the Incredible Human Effort Behind Alien: Covenant‘s World
HBO visited the set of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, hanging out with the cast and crew as they worked on what promises to be one of the year’s most brilliantly crafted films. And we do mean craft. The amount of technical and construction know-how that was poured into the creation of the sets, props and art design is staggering.
As you’ve seen from the trailers, teasers and promos we've been sharing,...
Watch a Bunch of Tom Cruise’s Crazy Stunts in The Mummy
We’ve written plenty about Tom Cruise’s stunt work. We’ve interviewed stunt coordinators he’s worked with, looked at specific stunts he’s done, from the time he held on to the outside of a cargo plane as it took off in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, to the zero gravity scene in the upcoming The Mummy. At this point in Cruise's career,...
Peter Parker’s Secret is Revealed in 1st Spider-Man: Homecoming Clip
Ah, to be young again. The the first clip from Spider-Man Homecoming reminds us that Peter Parker has always been the youngest of superheroes, which means that in order to fight crime, he needs to sneak in and out of the house or he’ll be grounded.
In the clip we find Peter (Tom Holland) sneaking back into his apartment after a night of heroics when he bump into his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon),...
Watch (and Love) the Official Blade Runner 2049 Trailer
As we wrote last year, after director Dennis Villeneuve’s Arrival proved to be a sensational, Oscar-nominated sci-fi thriller, any fears that he wasn’t up for the monumental task of helming Blade Runner 2049 were obliterated. Arrival was last year’s best sci-fi film by a wide margin, and it made it clear that the Sicario director took inspiration from the very best sci-fi directors,...
Final Wonder Woman Trailer Introduces Origin of her Shield
In the past week alone, we’ve been treated to two new Wonder Woman TV spots and a new trailer. Now, less than a month before the film’s release, there’s yet another full length trailer to obsess over.
This new trailer– the final one in an extremely thorough marketing campaign— gives us even more of a glimpse into Diana’s backstory, including the introduction of Wonder Woman’s famous sword and shield. The shield,...
The Losers’ Club Clowns Around in the Worst Way in new IT Trailer
A sneak preview of Andres Muschietti’s It premiered on Sunday night at the MTV Movie and TV awards, following a few creepy teasers and photos we've seen over the past few weeks. The newest film adaptation of the Stephen King novel is not clowning around (apologies for that pun) as Pennywise the clown is one of the horror master's most iconic, unsettling monsters.
Taking place in the small town of Derry, Maine (King has been torturing the town of Derry his entire career),...
Fargo Song Picker Finds Obscure Gems to Underscore Quirky Criminality
It was weird enough that bleakly funny Minnesota noir series Fargo (Wednesdays on FX through June) kicked off its third season last month with an eight-minute interrogation set in Cold War East Berlin. Adding to the strangeness was the spooky recording of of an ancient Russian folk song performed by the Ural Cossacks Choir, which played throughout the scene. Maggie Phillips, the artist-turned song picker who supervises music selections for the series, says, "People tuning in probably thought 'I have no clue what I'm watching...
Watch the Gripping new Trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk
Writer/director Christopher Nolan is back with the World War II epic Dunkirk, which tells the story of the chaotic rescue of Allied soldiers during one of the bloodiest and most crucial battles of the war. It was May, 1940, and Germany looked poised to secure a decisive victory in their war effort, one that would have essentially made WWII unwinnable for the allies. The Germany army was pushing deeper into France, where they'd managed to trap Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk...
MUTHR Returns in new Aliens: Covenant Trailer
You'll be forgiven if you don’t remember MUTHR (pronounced ‘mother’) in Ridley Scott’s very first Alien, the artificial intelligence that powered the Nostromo, Ripley’s ship, with a cool, indifferent female-voiced appraisal. MUTHUR wasn’t as evil as Stanley Kubrick’s HAL, but she wasn’t a very maternal artificial being, either. Now, in Scott’s upcoming Alien: Covenant, MUTHR returns, and the A.I.'s inclusion likely means it plays a significant part in the deadly events in the film...
Let’s Discuss Those Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Post Credits Scenes
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has a whopping five post-credits scenes. Surely this is some kind of record. It's also fitting for James Gunn's sequel, as Vol. 2 is a wild film, with some of the biggest, most complex action set pieces of any Marvel film. The credits scenes themselves are little jewels, doing double duty of completing some storylines from the film and teasing upcoming films in Marvel's world conquering MCU...

HBO Has Four (Yes, Four) Game of Thrones Spinoffs in Development
You can never have too much of a good thing. This, it seems, is a sentiment HBO might be putting to the test, as Deadline reports that cable’s premiere network has four Game of Thrones spinoffs in development. Now, a channel like HBO always has lots of stuff in development, some of which never see the light of day, so this shouldn’t be all that surprising—but—four projects is a lot, even for a show as monumentally successful as Game of Thrones...
Production on James Wan’s Aquaman has Begun
Warner Bros. has taken the first plunge into production for Aquaman. Just a couple days ago, director James Wan tweeted a picture from their first day of production.
This will be the first solo-feature for Aquaman’s character, who is also set to appear in Zack Snyder's upcoming Justice League film, where he joins Batman (Ben Affleck), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), the Flash (Ezra Miller) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in a battle against the super villain Steppenwolf...
Dwayne Johnson Bringing Rampage From Classic 80s Video Game to the Big Screen
What do you get when you cross Dwayne Johnson and colossal monsters in the forms of a mutant ape, wolf and lizard hell-bent on destroying a major city? You get Rampage, an adaptation of the classic 1980s video game that you never knew until very recently you were desperate to see. Johnson is re-teaming with his San Andreas director Brad Peyton to bring Rampage to the big screen, and it sounds as ludicrous,...
Two Iconic Stephen King Adaptations are Finally Here
As we wrote yesterday, and a little more than a month ago, this is the year that Stephen King fans have been dreaming of. It is getting a big screen reboot and now the long, long, long awaited film adaptation of King’s epic masterpiece The Dark Tower is in sight at last. Sony released the first look at the showdown between The Gunslinger (Idris Elba) and The Man in Black (Matthew McConoughay),...
