First Look at Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled
Writer and director Sofia Coppola is back with her latest film, and once again the auteur has gone in a completely new direction from her previous film. Coppola's last effort was 2013's The Bling Ring, which focused on a group of fame-obssessed teenagers who use the Internet to track the whereabouts of celebrities, then rob their homes. Her new work,The Beguiled, is an adaptation from Thomas Cullinan novel's "A Painted Devil,"...
Watch the Wild new Ghost in the Shell Trailer
Ghost in the Shell features Scarlett Johansson (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Lucy) as Major Motoko Kusanagi, a one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid who leads the elite task force Section 9. The film is directed by Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman), and is based on the famous Kodansha Comics manga series of the same name (written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow). The latest trailer is a knockout, with more eye-popping visuals packed into a little more than two minutes than we’ve seen in a long time. ...
Berlinale 2017: Danny Boyle Brings Back Trainspotting
Having run off to Amsterdam with 16,000 pounds after a heroin deal at the end of Trainspotting, director Danny Boyle’s sequel, T2: Trainspotting, sees Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) return, after twenty years, to Edinburgh. If his Dutch wife and children named Laura and James, seem too bucolic to be believed, it’s because they are. Boyle’s sequel, which screened at the Berlinale film festival on Friday, is not the triumphant tale of four boys who got sober,...
New Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 TV Spot Rocks to David Bowie
No musician on the planet would have been a better fit for a cameo in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise than David Bowie. The icon was, of course, a great actor himself, and one of his many personas was that of the alien rock god Ziggy Stardust. Rolling Stone’s Alan Light wrote about the creation of Bowie’s alter ego last year, diving into Bowie's fascination with space travel and science fiction, which was already present in his work in songs like “Life on Mars?”...

Wolverine’s Hilariously Bleak Job in Logan Clip
If you had 100 guesses for what crummy job good old Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) might have in the upcoming Logan, you'd likely never correctly guess the hellish employment he's found. He's not using his considerable strength in a construction job, nor is he engaged in any other kind of physical labor.
Not only is Wolvy’s job just about as bleak as it gets, the poor guy is desperately trying to buy a boat (no doubt to sail off into the sunset,...
See how Batman v Superman‘s Dark, Visually Layered VFX Were Created

Director Zack Snyder recently tweeted a link to a nearly twelve minute long video to a Before & After video showcasing the visual effects of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice...
FX’s Legion Earning Raves From Critics
FX’s new show Legion is an X-Men-centered story told through the eyes of an unreliable narrator: one in which reality and fantasy weave in and out and truth and fiction are in a constant battle. But through a storyline full of uncertainties, one fact stands unwavering: critics find the show riveting.
Starring Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Beauty and the Beast), Legion explores the Marvel Comics universe in which David Haller,...

Legion Composer on the Mind-bending Music of the New X-Men Show
Marvel’s Legion is premiering tonight on FX and it’s going to be unbelievable. In fact, you should probably be careful not to believe everything you see.

As he explores the powers he possesses and embarks on a journey to become Legion,...

How John Wick: Chapter 2‘s Stunt Coordinator Challenged Keanu Like Never Before
Keanu Reeves thrilled action fans three years ago when his title character killed 141 bad guys in John Wick. For John Wick: Chapter 2, opening Friday, stunt coordinator J.J. Perry faced a formidable challenge: How do you take somebody who’s already played a super-lethal hit man and make him even more deadly? "The obvious way to make the movie better was to make Keanu better, since he's our starting pitcher,"...
Look Inside the Coming Resistance on The Walking Dead
You already know just how brutal the first half of The Walking Dead Season 7 was. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) had seemingly been broken, badly, by the ordeal Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) had put the group through. The sickening, preening murder of Glenn (Steven Yuen) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) was just the beginning. Negan put all of Alexandria under his command, and Rick had no choice but to do Negan’s bidding as the sociopathic warlord took Daryl (Norman Reedus) hostage and sent his goons (or arrived himself) to Alexandria to collect his taxes...

First Look at John Boyega in Pacific Rim: Uprising
One major film franchise is hardly enough for rising star John Boyega. Already set to reprise his role as the rogue Stormtrooper Finn in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Boyega is also starring in the upcoming Pacific Rim: Uprising. Boyega plays Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba’s character from the first film), a jaeger pilot just like his noble and heroic pop.
