3 New TV Spots Tease More Footage for X-Men: Apocalypse
Batman v Superman had a partnership with Turkish Airlines that resulted in these clever ads, and now X-Men: Apocalypse has a similar relationship that has yielded brand new footage from their film. The company they've partnered with is realty firm Coldwell Banker, which has taken a specific interest in easily the most high-tech mansion on the planet—Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, or the X-Mansion. In the third TV spot, Coldwell Banker features the X-Mansion as their "Home of the Week,"...
Blade Runner Sequel Coming Out Earlier Than Expected
All the news surrounding Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner sequel recently has been good news. First, there was the simple fact that the talented director of Sicario, Enemy and Prisoners was taking on the project. (The involvement of Harrison Ford and original director Ridley Scott's—star and executive producer, respectively—is less good news that absolutely mandatory for the project to happen.) Then there was the addition of Ryan Gosling,...
The New Jason Bourne Trailer is a Knockout
Jason Bourne is back. Matt Damon returns to the role of Jason Bourne in this fifth installment of the Bourne franchise, with director Paul Greengrass returning as well. Damon told Buzzfeed that Jason Bourne is dealing with a world very much like our own: “Without giving too much of it away, it’s Bourne through an austerity-riddled Europe and in a post-Snowden world. It seems like enough has changed, you know? There are all these kinds of arguments about spying and civil liberties and the nature of democracy.” Meanwhile Greengrass told Buzzfeed that he was tinkering with ...
New Captain America: Civil War International Spots Include New Footage
You can thank Marvel Germany for providing us with brand new footage of Ant-Man and Daniel Brühl's Baron Zemo in these three international TV spots for Captain America: Civil War. We're only sharing two, however, as one of them offers no new footage, although it is fun to listen to the German dubbed version of these trailers and imagine how different it would be if it was Captain Deutschland: Bürgerkrieg. (Why would the 'Captain' still be in English?...
The Girl on the Train Trailer is Suitably Unsettling
Paula Hawkins’ bestselling novel "The Girl on the Train" was published in 2015 and had a wonderfully simple premise; a woman taking the same train every day becomes obsessed with the seemingly perfect couple she sees during her journey through the train's windows. She gives them names and sees in their happiness what she used to have, and lost. Going into the book knowing it's a psychological thriller with ample hints of Hitchcock, you of course suspect that the narrator,...
The First Trailer for The Magnificent Seven is Explosive
Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Southpaw ) re-teams with Denzel Washington in this remake of the classic 1960 oater of the same name that itself is a Western remake of Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece The Seven Samurai. The story is gloriously simple—seven gunslingers are hired to defend a village from bandits. Done. Washington is joined by Chris Pratt, Matt Bomer, Haley Bennett, Peter Sarsgaard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Sean Bridgers, Vinnie Jones, and Ethan Hawke. With not one but two great films to live up to,...
New Warcraft Trailer All About Frenemies
Director Duncan Jones is attempting to successfully adapt a hugely popular video game for the screen, a feat that's been difficult for many filmmakers in the past. Blizzard Entertainment's juggernaut online role-playing has legions of fans, but we're guessing that the director of the creepy and weirdly touching Moon and the sci-fi action epic Source Code might be the man for the job.
Written by Charles Leavitt (Blood Diamond), ...
Which Side has the Advantage in Captain America: Civil War?
At this point you've seen enough teasers, and trailers clips from Captain America: Civil War and you're ready for the rumble. Yet as Marvel keeps releasing little bits here and there, we feel duty-bound to share them. What these new Team Cap and Team Iron Man teasers allow you to do is assess how evenly matched you think the two sides actually are.

Inside Game of Thrones Season 6: Visual Effects
Back in March we shared this great behind-the-scenes look at the crucial work the Game of Thrones prosthetics department does. "GOT prosthetics designers like Barrie Gower help conceptualize, design and make the prosthetics that turn fine actors into some of the most fearsome characters on the show," we wrote, pointing out that characters like the Night's King are created not just by the fine work of actor Richard Blake, but the prosthetics team who turns him into this ghoulish figure:
The Night's King,...
Final Game of Thrones Promo Asks “Are You Afraid?”
"Whoever you are, wherever you go, someone wants to murder you." This is the opening line in what we think is the final promo for Game of Thrones season six, which premieres, in case you haven't heard, this Sunday, April 24. The line's delivered by the show's chief realist—Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)—and as he speaks it we see a dead Jon Snow on a concrete slab, followed by a rousing montage depicting the various folks (and White Walkers) throughout the seven kingdoms and beyond who do,...
This new X-Men: Apocalypse Clip Explores Mystery of En Sabah Nur
The central premise in X-Men: Apocalypse is that the very first mutant (your titular Apocalypse, played by Oscar Isaac) is also the most powerful, and now that he's awoken, he's gathering his four horsemen (four powerful mutants whose abilities increase exponentially under Apocalypse's care) and planning on tearing apart the world so it can be rebuilt with mutants in their rightful spot atop the food chain.
In this new clip released by 20th Century Fox,...
Talking to The Jungle Book‘s VFX Supervisor Robert Legato
Based on Rudyard Kipling’s classic stories, Disney’s sweeping, epic, live action version of The Jungle Book is an immersive delight. We talk to Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Robert Legato about creating realistic worlds using computers, why it’s an exciting time to be working in visual effects and how they can make a The Revenant sequel minus the grueling shoot.
Congratulations on The Jungle Book...
Did J.J. Abrams Drop a Major Clue About Who Rey’s Parents Are?
Even a notoriously secretive director like J.J. Abrams is going to let a clue slip if you put a microphone in his hand enough times. That might be what happened this weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival, when Abrams sat down for a conversation with Chris Rock and responded to questions from the audience. One question was, of course, who Rey's parents are, asked by a young audience member with admirable clarity. Abrams would never spill even a single bean about this,...
Check out the Incredible Stunts in Captain America: Civil War
You know what's even cooler than watching how some of the stunts were done in Captain America: Civil War? Watching them in slow motion. Especially the truck flipping over—and through—a bridge.
The gang at Screen Slam were on the set of Civil War and got this incredible footage of some of the stunt work that went into the film. Some of the coolest stuff is watching the incredibly talented Heidi Moneymaker,...
Everyone Tries to Beat up the Winter Soldier in new Captain America: Civil War Clip
Yes, yes, there have been so many clips released for Captain America: Civil War you credibly worry you've seen the whole movie by now. You haven't. But, if you'd rather not see any more, stop reading.
Still here? Cool, because this new clip is possibly the best thus far. Robert Downey Jr. went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night and with him came this clip of Tony Stark and friends ...
The King of Monsters Returns in Godzilla Resurgence Trailer

Yup, Here’s A New Captain America: Civil War Clip
We're counting down the days until the May 6 premiere of Captain America: Civil War, and luckily, each day seems to bring a new clip. (Unless you like to go into these films knowing next to nothing.) Today we get a look at how the fracture begins in Civil War, with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) arguing over the merits of a new system of accountability whose goal is to reign in the Avengers...
Behold the 1st Teaser for Doctor Strange
Marvel's Doctor Strange made his first appearance inside the cover of Strange Tales #110, and he was unlike anything that had come before him. From an arrogant surgeon to formidable sorcerer, Doctor Strange and the world he inhabited lived up to his name. Now, director Scott Derrickson has brought Doctor Strange to the big screen, with Benedict Cumberbatch taking on the goatee and magical powers as he leads viewers into some of the oddest realms of the Marvel universe,...
Marvel Reveals Doctor Strange Poster & Concept Art
Tonight, the first Doctor Strange trailer will air on Jimmy Kimmel Live. For the uninitiated, Doctor Strange (played by Benedict Cumberbatch), is the "Sorcerer Supreme" of the Marvel Universe, an arrogant surgeon whose attemps to heal himself after a car accident led him to become a lot more than a mere doctor.
Directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Deliver us From Evil) the movie hopes to do for the weird magical realm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe what ...
