Ageless Tom Cruise Fights Hard in new Jack Reacher: Never Go Back TV Spot
He might technically be 54, but you wouldn't know it by watching his films. If anything, the stunts and action that Tom Cruise regularly pulls off these days, from his Mission: Impossible films to Edge of Tomorrow to the most recent Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, the man seems to be getting younger as he ages. Don't take our word for it; we interviewed stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood,...
Seven Great Reasons to Love the new The Magnificent Seven Teaser
The cast of The Magnificent Seven is, to our eyes, just about perfect. The town of Rose Creek is under the control of sinister industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard—always a great villain), so the townspeople seek help from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns to help them wrest control of their fate from this brutal madman. Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington) is the bounty hunter, Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt) is the gambler, Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke) is the sharpshooter,...
Chatting With Daredevil’s Emmy-Nominated Stunt Coordinator Philip J. Silvera
Stunt coordinator Philip J. Silvera is one of the best in the business. In recent years, he's put his touch on one of the greatest fight scenes in recent memory (the bruising final beat down in Deadpool), helped make Iron Man 3 the best Tony Stark film of the bunch, and, applied his martial arts expertise to the animated series Star Wars: The Old Republic. Recently, Silvera has helped turn Marvel's ...
Watch Tom Hanks as Sully in Thrilling new Teasers
Oscar-winners abound in Warner Bros. Sully, a drama about the miraculous landing of a passenger jet on the Hudson River and the little known investigation unfolding behind the scenes that threatened to destroy the reputation and career of the pilot, Captain "Sully" Sullenberger. Directed by Clint Eastwood (American Sniper, Million Dollar Baby) and starring Tom Hanks as Sully, the film dramatizes the moment where Sully's plane lost both engines at lower altitude than any jet in history and his decision to land the plane on the Hudson rather than try to make it back to the airport...
Tom Hiddleston Back as Loki for Thor: Ragnarok
Tom Hiddleston is still the most beloved Marvel villain we've seen. His Loki infused The Avengers with snarling wit, fury (often at his own brother) and petulance. Here was a villain who you could tell both really wanted what he was after and, simultaneously, was becoming aware he was way in over his head. It was a heady mix. Part of Loki's fury has been in his jealous over Thor (Liam Hemsworth). Thor got the bigger muscles and his father Odin's favor (played by Anthony Hopkins),...
Check out the new Rogue One Teaser
As you're probably aware, a brand new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer is coming tomorrow night during NBC’s coverage of the Rio Olympics. That didn't stop Walt Disney and Lucasfilm from giving us a little taste of what's to come, with a few new glimpses of some of the Rogue One characters, including Donnie Yen's Chirrut Imwe dispatching a platoon of Stormtroopers and our first good look at Alan Tudyk's droid K-2S0.
Ever since the Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 in London,...
New Doctor Strange Commercial Touts Marvel’s Weirdest Superhero
Cinemark Theaters has just dropped a new Doctor Strange video that highlights just how far out there the newest addition to the Marvel film family is. Cinemark is touting their XD technology—extreme digital cinema with Real 3D brightest projection, custom digital surround sound and wall-to-wall ‘over screen’ size.
As a refresher; Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme, formerly a talented but emotionally cut off neurosurgeon named Doctor Stephen Strange who is plunged into a hidden reality and alternate dimensions after a tragic car accident...
Watch the 1st Teaser for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk
Director Christopher Nolan has become, at the tender age of 46, a filmmaker whose name alone means immediate interest in a film. Like Spielberg, he has managed to make very personal, hugely ambitious studio films (Inception, Interstellar) along side blockbuster popcorn movies (albeit ones with complexity and heft) like his Batman trilogy, with The Dark Knight functioning, for us, as the best film of the bunch...
Jerry Lewis Returns in Max Rose
A star from the Golden Age of Hollywood is returning to the silver screen. Best known for his slapstick roles of the mid-20th century, Jerry Lewis appears to be taking on a somber turn as the recently widowed Max Rose. The Nutty Professor last starred on the big screen more than a quarter century ago.
The tagline for the film seems to have a double meaning for the lead character and the star playing him...
Own the Iconic Big Trouble in Little China Poster
Artist Drew Struzan has worked on some of the most iconic movie posters of all time. His signature, super color saturated style has been put to use on illustrations for Blade Runner, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and, perhaps most famous, Revenge of the Jedi (yes, Revenge) to name just a few...
Chatting With Kent Jones About his HBO Documentary Hitchcock/Truffaut
Airing Monday, August 8 on HBO, director Kent Jones’ documentary Hitchcock/Truffaut reveals the archival footage behind the titular directors’ legendary, weeklong series of interviews in Hollywood in 1962. A young Truffaut, who had only recently transformed his own career from film critic to filmmaker, traveled to Los Angeles to interview Alfred Hitchcock. He idolized the director, but at the time, Hitchock was widely perceived more as a popular entertainer than the visionary he is considered today...
Brand new U-Wing Ship From Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Revealed
Ever since the Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 in London, the Star Wars related reveals have been coming at a warp speed. We were introduced to the new Han Solo, Alden Ehrenreich, found out about the inspiration for the new Death Troopers, and watched the brand new Rogue One sizzle reel.
Today, the news comes to us, once again, courtesy "The Star Wars Show." Lucasfilm Story Group member Matt Martin popped on over to the show to dish about another one of the film's new ships—the U-Wing...
The Lost City of Z to Close the New York Film Festival
New Yorker writer David Grann's 2009 book "The Lost City of Z" tells the incredible story of Colonel Percy Fawcett, a swashbuckling adventurer whose exploits in the Amazon rainforest were front page news in his day, and became the stuff of legend when he disappeared, along with his son and his son's best friend, in the jungle in 1925 in search of the Lost City of Z. Z was thought to be the kingdom of El Dorado,...
Talking to Little Men Director & Co-Writer Ira Sachs
Like his 2014 film Love is Strange, director/co-writer Ira Sachs’ new film Little Men is a touchingly realistic examination of the relationships between people thrown together by circumstance. In Love is Strange, the economics of life in New York force a recently wed gay couple (John Lithgow and Alfred Molina) to live separately after Molina’s character loses his job. In Little Men, a struggling actor (Greg Kinnear) inherits a Brooklyn building from his father and moves his own family there...
Warner Bros. Sets Release Date for Fantastic Beasts Sequel
If you’ve already devoured Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (the fastest selling book in the UK this decade) and are looking for your next wizarding world fix, there's good news from Warner Bros. today. Deadline reports the studio has locked in a release date for the sequel to the highly anticipated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The first installment will hit theaters this November 18 and the second flick will premiere November 16,...
Work Those Buns in new Sausage Party Clip
Sony Pictures' Sausage Party is the upcoming animated film that we've got a sneaking suspicion will be a late summer winner. The reason we're bullish on Sausage Party? Because it was written by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Jonah Hill, and it imagines a world in which the food we buy at the grocery is sentient, and sentimental, and ultimately aghast to find out that when they're chosen and taken home, what awaits them is hell on earth. That's right; ...
Check out the Creepy Stranger Things Concept Art
Have you binged watched Netflix's new hit series Stranger Things yet? If not, we'll advise you to not check out the concept art below, as it showcases the stranger thing that's happening to th small town of Hawkins, Indiana.
Still here? Okay, so as you know Matt and Ross Duffer have created sci-fi romp that celebrates the best of the 1980s (the clothes, the cars, Spielberg) yet forges it's own distinct, creepy path. The show follows the mysterious disappearance of a young boy named Will (Noah Schnapp) and the town of Hawkin's noble effort to find him...
Go Behind the Wings of Pete’s Dragon
Walt Disney Pictures's upcoming film Pete's Dragon is a blend of live-action and CGI (think The Jungle Book, only with dragons) that looks as lusciously rendered (and blended) as that film. In this new behind-the-scenes video, star Bryce Dallas Howard discusses what it was like about working with the fuzzy, 20-foot tall dragon. The main issue? Hair. Hair everywhere. Also, the fact that Elliot the dragon can become invisible. Also, things get dicey when it's time for lunch...
Suicide Squad‘s World Premiere a Celebration of Diversity
We're just four days away from Suicide Squad's August 5 premiere, but for a lucky few, the world premiere happened last night at the Beacon Theater in New York. Director David Ayer and the cast were on the black, barbed-wired carpet of Warner Bros.’ world premiere, and it was a welcome sight, where the cast's diversity was a major point of celebration.
"What I love about working with this group, it's a rainbow — it's all races,...
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Aliens
Fun fact; Bill Paxton is the only actor ever to have been killed by a Terminator, an Alien and a Predator. Yes, the poor guy's heard that before, but as it was recently the 30th anniversary of Aliens, James Cameron's raucous 1986 follow-up to Ridley Scott's seminal Alien, Paxton had to expect he'd hear that once more.
At Comic-Con this year, most of the cast returned to talk about what made Aliens such a surprising critical darling—it was nominated for 7 Oscars—and why the film has stood the test of time...
