Star-lord Meets his Dad in new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 Trailer

The new trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 premiered on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, giving us the moment we’ve been waiting for—Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and his dear old dad (Kurt Russell) meeting face-to-face. Granted, the trailer also has a ton of space fighting, quips, nods to family, Nebula-v-Gamora action, and, most importantly…Baby Groot.  

Russell plays one of the weirder characters to grace any Marvel film (or comic,

Meet the Big, Bad Xenomorph in new Alien: Covenant Trailer

What we enjoyed so immensely about the Alien: Covenant teaser we shared last Thursday was the call back to Ridley Scott’s original Alien. Here we met a crew of eclectic characters, mostly made up of couples, all willingly marooned aboard a spaceship, grousing about the minor indignities of space travel without having any idea just how bad things are going to get. For Covenant, this meant talking about leaving Earth for good in order to colonize a new,

How The Man in the High Castle’s Composer Set the Dystopian Tone

Based on Philip K. Dick’s chilling 1962 alternative history novel, The Man in the High Castle has become Amazon’s most watched original series. Set in a world where Hitler’s Reich and Imperial Japan were victorious in World War II, the action explodes from the opening scene with high stakes tension and a season long mystery. Composer Dominic Lewis wrote the first season’s score with Henry Jackman and took over the reins in season two.

Check out the Trailer for Netflix’s Docu-Series Five Came Back

Journalist and author Mark Harris’s 2014 book “Five Came Back” chronicled five legendary filmmakers who became much more than that when they decided to use their specific talents to aid the Allied war effort during World War II. “Mr. Harris dollies in on five directors whose ethnic diversity and varied personalities might have been lifted from the Central Casting call sheet for a Warner Bros. combat film,” the New York Times Thomas Doherty wrote.

Your New Netflix Obsession is Here—Bong Joon-Ho’s Okja

One of South Korea’s most ambitious auteurs has his own Netflix film, and you’re going to want to see it. Bong Joon-ho, the visionary behind Snowpiercer and The Host, is releasing Okja on the streaming service this June 28. Working once again with Tilda Swinton (she was hilarious and menacing in Snowpiercer as a cold-hearted, death-dealing bureaucrat) and an incredible cast that includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Giancarlo Esposito, and Lily Collins,

Lefou Sings Gaston’s Praises in new Beauty and the Beast Clip

"My, what a guy, that Gaston!" sings poor Lefou (Josh Gad), a sidekick who goes through life singing the praises of a man who surely wouldn’t do the same for him. Gaston (Luke Evans) is Beauty and the Beast’s resident airhead hunk, a devilishly handsome man who wants to win Belle’s (Emma Watson) affections, but who clearly has half the heart of the ghastly Beast (Dan Stevens).

We are quickly approaching the March 17 premiere date for Bill Condon’s live-action take on Disney’s classic story (based on the 1991 animated film),

Kurt Russell’s Elusive Role in Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2

Despite its release in just a few short months, there is still very little known about Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2. We've published stories about what we've learned thus far, including the film's music, the Super Bowl spot and more. Even more secretive than the film itself is Kurt Russell’s role as Ego the Living Planet. So far, all we know is that Ego is the father of Star-Lord and is a sentient planet capable of taking human form.

How Sidney Hall Composer Created the Film’s Score Using Only a Computer

Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) and Elle Fanning (Maleficent) star in Sundance selection Sidney Hall about a young novelist struggling with his own fame. Listen closely and it might surprise you that a single artist created the music. Composer Darren Morze wrote the film’s score and recorded it himself using instrument samples and his own audio creations on the computer.

Final Trailer for Kong: Skull Island is Most Bonkers Yet

There is something really weird and wonderful going on with Kong: Skull IslandThe trailers and snippets we've seen thus far look like the kind of Kong movie we've been waiting for—big, bold, and best of all, strange. 

We've already written about the Godzilla/Kong connection in Skull Island (they'll be facing off in a Warner Bros. film in a few years).

Watch Will Smith in the Wild First Trailer for Netflix’s Bright

Viewers of the 89th Academy Awards last night were in for a few surprises— and not just the already infamous “Best Picture” flub. Netflix debuted the first trailer for its upcoming original film, Bright, which bends genres in a way most movies never attempt.

The crime/sci-fi/fantasy flick takes place in an alternate present in which humans, orcs, elves and fairies co-exist. It stars Will Smith (Men in Black) and Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby) as Ward and Jakoby,

Hey, did you catch the Oscars last night

If so, you will be forgiven for perhaps overlooking this great new spot for Beauty and the Beast that dropped during one of the show's commerical breaks. The live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic is coming in just a few weeks (March 17 to be exact), with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens in your title roles. The film is not only a lush,

The Most Shocking Moment in Oscars History

It will be remembered as the most shocking moment in Oscars history. Before last night, you could credibly argue over which Oscars moment was the craziest. Was it the when Adrien Brody accepted his award for Best Actor by kissing presenter Halle Berry?  Or how about when Marlon Brando sent Native American civil rights activist Sacheen Littlefeather to the podium to reject the award on his behalf in 1973. No, the most stunning moment had to be when artist and gay rights activist

Fate of the Furious Drops new International Trailer

What we know thus far about The Fate of the Furious is pretty grim. The once proud, violently loyal Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) has abandoned his family (his family and his crew are one in the same) for a serious femme fatale by the name of Cipher (Charlize Theron). Part of the fun of the film will be to find out how in the hell she got Dom to switch sides.
