Spider-Man: Homecoming Production Moves to New York
Production for Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster Spiderman: Homecoming has concluded filming in Atlanta and moved to New York City. In the comics, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) grew up and fought crime as his web-slinging alter ego in Queens, so the production move not only makes sense but has brought an air of excitement to the city. Footage from Atlanta was screened by director Jon Watts exclusively at the Sandiego Comic-Con in July to positive reviews, and fans hope that it is only a matter of time before the first public trailer is released...

Jonás Cuarón Talks About his Savagely Intense Film Desierto
Desierto, Mexico’s official submission as Best Foreign Language Film to the next Academy Awards, doesn’t seem a likely inspiration for Gravity, which won seven Oscars in 2014. But when young filmmaker Jonás Cuarón showed the first draft of the script to his father Alfonso nearly 10 years ago, the elder Cuarón said he wanted to make a movie like it — in space.
“Like Gravity,...

The Final Trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is Fantastic
The fantastic beasts in the title really are fantastic. There's the Bowtruckle (skinny, plantlike), the Swooping Evil (Monarch butterfly meets pterodactyl), and the Demiguise (a little like Gremlins Gizmo), and they're just a few of the critters that makes Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them such an alluring addition to the expanding world of Harry Potter. It's not for nothing that J.K. Rowling herself has penned the script (she hadn't adapted any of the Potter books for the screen)—we're as deeply immersed in Rowling's imagination in the upcoming David Yates film than ever before. ...

New Teaser for The Accountant Sees Ben Affleck Crunching More Than Numbers
In a new TV teaser for The Accountant, Ben Affleck’s character doesn’t do much number crunching. Wielding a wide arsenal of firearms, Christian Wolff (Affleck) isn’t your typical tax man.

While some think Wolff has gone rogue, there may be a method to his mathematic murders. The mystery appears to be if his criminal misconduct is for good or evil...

Tom Hardy & Ridley Scott Team up for FX’s Taboo
Tom Hardy came up with the story for Taboo with his father, Chips. Yup, you’re already intrigued, and also a bit touched. And you're well aware Hardy doesn't really make bad career decisions, so anything he's involved in warrants a good long look.
In Taboo, Hardy plays a rogue adventurer named James Keziah Delaney, who spends a decade swashbuckling around Africa in the early 19th century. He finally returns to London in 1814 and discovers he’s been left a strange legacy (and a huge shipping empire!) by his murdered father...
