New Photos Reveal Logan Henchman in his Cyborg Glory
The official Logan Instagram account @wponx, as well as director James Mangold's Twitter feed, have been a great resource for new photos from the film. On Mangold's Twitter feed, we've seen new photos of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and some fantastic storyboards by artist Gabriel Hardman. On @wponx, we've met Laura, likely Wolverine's new charge (a mutant very much like him, only with a different ratio of claws and a whole lot younger),
The First Kong: Skull Island Trailer is Dazzling
Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures had been teasing us with Kong: Skull Island tidbits for the last week, but finally, the new trailer aired last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live. This is our first really good look at the largest, meanest Kong of all time.
It only takes 39 seconds for King Kong to make his appearance in the trailer ("is that a monkey?" a member of the helicopter crew innocently asks),
Hidden Figures Reveals Official Trailer
On Sept. 10 at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the festival held a preview of 20th Century Fox’s much-anticipated drama Hidden Figures, about the black female mathematicians who had pivotal roles in the NASA space program during the late ‘50s/early 60s. This was a 20-minute clip that screened for the press and public from the then still-unfinished film—the early take on the clip was very positive.
Now, with a press screening set for this coming Monday,
Inside Westworld‘s Game-Changing Scene
Did you catch last week's episode of Westworld? If not, read no further—spoiler alert.
Okay, so you caught the seventh episode of Westworld this past Sunday, and perhaps you had a similar experience to one people across the country felt as Theresa (Sidse Babett Knudsen) was flipping through some robot designs in Dr. Ford's (Anthony Hopkins) secret lab—no, please no, anyone but Bernard (Jeffrey Wright). When Theresa shows Bernard the schematic she's found—a robot that looks

It’s Dad Versus Billionaire Delinquent in Why Him? Trailer
It's Bryan Cranston versus James Franco in Why Him?, a movie that focuses on one of the most ancient battles of all time—father versus daughter's feckless boyfriend. Only here, it's even worse—the tattooed weirdo is going to be a son-in-law.
Here's the conceit; It's the holidays, and Ned (Cranston), a loving but overprotective father, and his family visit his daughter at Stanford, where he meets her new boyfriend,
Manchester by the Sea‘s Writer/Director Kenneth Lonergan—Part 2
In Part 2 of an interview with writer/director Kenneth Lonergan about his latest release, Manchester by the Sea, which opens Friday, the New York City native speaks about his penchant for acting in his own films, his choice of classical music to accompany a drama like Manchester by the Sea that is set in a working-class milieu and how the current political climate might affect his artistic vision in the future –
Talking to Manchester by the Sea‘s Writer/Director Kenneth Lonergan—Part 1
At 54, Kenneth Lonergan has experienced the highs and lows of the movie biz.

And he has dealt with the frustration when the running time of his more ambitious sophomore effort,
Two new Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Clip Follow Positive Early Reviews
The early reviews for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are in, and they’re very good. Currently sitting at 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, the first film to be scripted by J.K. Rowling herself is being hailed as “sheer magic” by Newsday’s Rafer Guzman, a surprisingly dark origin story that will appear more to grownups than youngsters by Us Weekly’s Mara Reinstein, and film that has a “spellbinding polish”

Ghost in the Shell‘s Mind Melting Official Trailer
Director Rupert Sanders Ghost in the Shell remake has been a long time in the coming. It began in 2008 when Steven Spielberg acquired the rights to a live-action adaptation of the original manga by Masamune Shirow. Eventually Sanders took over the project, with Scarlett Johansson stepping into the lead role. That role is a doozy; Johnson plays The Major, a Cyborg counter-cyberterrorist who leads the task force Section 9, with a goal of thwarting cyber criminals and hackers.
Go see Arrival This Weekend
We've been talking about Denis Villeneuve's Arrival since it had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival this past September 1. There couldn't be a more appropriate time for a film about the importance of communication in times of peril then right about now. Arrival's conceit is simple and brilliant: linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is tasked with leading an elite team of investigators to decipher what,
Costume Designer Lynn Falconer on her Vintage Designs in Ouija: Origin of Evil

The film is about Howard (Will Smith) a successful New York advertising executive who retreats from his life after losing his child.

He goes about this by writing letters to Love,
Loving‘s Breakout Star Ruth Negga on the Role of a Lifetime
If, as expected, Ruth Negga, the breakout star of Loving, snags a best actress nomination, it will likely be met in some corners by furrowed brows and the question, ‘Who’s Ruth Negga?’
They’ll know soon enough. Predominantly a British stage actress who’s played Ophelia at the National Theatre and legendary singer Shirley Bassey in the 2011 BBC biopic Shirley, Negga was born in Addis Ababa to an Irish mother and an Ethiopian father and lived there until she was four before being raised in Limerick and London.
Oscar Watch: Designing the Look of Loving With the DP, Costumer & Production Designer
In telling the true story of a white man and his black wife, director Jeff Nichols nails the late fifties period with uncanny precision. His Oscar-buzzed Loving (opening wide Nov. 11) begins in 1958 when police arrest Richard and Mildred Loving at their own Virginia home in the middle of the night and throw them in jail for being a mixed race couple. Banished from Virginia, Richard and Mildred (played with slow-burn intensity by Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga) decide to fight back and eventually win a landmark 1967 Supreme Court case declaring all anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional.
