Guardians of the Galaxy Star Dave Bautista Joins Blade Runner Sequel

Warner Bros. sent out a press release touting the newest member of the Blade Runner team:
Dave Bautista will join Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford and Robin Wright in an important supporting role in Alcon Entertainment’s sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 masterpiece BLADE RUNNER,...
A Real Look at Mapplethorpe in Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures
Beyond Robert Mapplethorpe’s good looks and talent, his extreme subject matter and roster of now-iconic friends, what stands out in Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures, a meticulous new documentary airing tonight on HBO on the artist, is the film’s tight focus on its titular subject. Mapplethorpe is famous for being the first photographer to make shocking male nudes as sensitively gorgeous as they were appalling (to the more staid quarters of 1970s America, anyway) but his groundbreaking work has almost been eclipsed by the prime spot he occupied in the most glorified moment in the history of New York’s 20th century art scene...
Daniel Radcliffe is a Flatulent Corpse in Swiss Army Man Trailer
Well, the trailer for Swiss Army Man, the oddball Sundance sensation from writer/directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert has finally arrived, and it's promising. The film's premise is utterly absurd; it's a buddy dramedy about Hank (Paul Dano), a man stranded on an island and just about ready to give up when the dead body of Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) washes ashore and comes to be his best hope for survival. A24 grabbed the film (this is the same studio that released Ex Machina, ...
Four Horsemen Revealed in X-Men: Apocalypse Featurette
We've seen Batman fight Superman, and soon we'll watch as Team Captain America take on Team Iron Man in Civil War, but perhaps the biggest, and most destructive, superhero battle of all will take place in X-Men: Apocalypse. In this new featurette released by 20th Century Fox, we meet Apocalypse's (Oscar Isaac) four horsemen—the mutants he's chosen to help him wipe out humanity and create a new world order...
New Black Panther Footage in Captain America: Civil War TV Spot
In the very last few seconds of this new Captain America: Civil War TV spot we get a glimpse of just how strong Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) is. You've seen the set up in previous trailers and teasers; Team Cap and Team Iron Man charge at each other in what appears to be the climatic final battle, only now, we see get to watch as Black Panther tussles with Captain America. They appear evenly matched until Black Panther begins to pull down Cap's shield...
Schwinter is Coming in Inside Amy Schumer Teaser
Oh Amy, if there's anyone who we'd want to deliver a major spoiler for season 6 of Game of Thrones, then yes, it would be you! Okay, perhaps Amy Schumer's just joking in this GoT inspired teaser for the fourth season of Inside Amy Schumer, which returns in a few weeks (April 21), but I think we can all agree that Kit Harington would make an excellent guest performer on her hilarious show. In the teaser,...
Pixar Reveals it’s Been Hiding a Single Character in Every one of its Films
We already knew Pixar films have been talking to one another, so to speak, over the years. The animation studio has been hiding Easter eggs like the Luxo Ball, the Pizza Planet Truck and A113 (which is a nod to the animation classroom at CalArts where several Pixar filmmakers went) in one film after another, creating a Pixar Universe. Today, the studio revealed that particular character has been in every single Pixar film since 1995's Toy Story...
Game of Thrones Maisie Williams Joins X-Men Spinoff New Mutants
When a show is as beloved as Game Of Thrones, it makes sense that its younger stars, the ones who hadn't yet made much of an impact in the film world, would see their fortunes rise with the ratings. This is the path Sophie Turner, so excellent as the long suffering (then again, who isn't on this show?) Sansa Stark has enjoyed, moving into the role of the young Jean Grey on the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. ...
Robin Wright in Talks to Join Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford in Blade Runner Sequel
This seems like nothing but good news. Robin Wright, who has been scorching television (and gadget) screens for four seasons as the indomitable Claire Underwood on Netflix's House of Cards, is getting close to inking a deal to join Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford in the Blade Runner sequel. For fans of the original (pretty much anybody who loves sci-fi at its' very best, Harrison Ford, and Ridley Scott, so,...
Watch Behind-the-Scenes Footage of the Lightsaber Duels in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
To credibly inhabit Rey, a scavenger on the desert junkyard planet of Jakku, Daisy Ridley had to train on a climbing wall (to name just one piece of her pre-production workout routine). And how about all those great lightsaber moves by Rey, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Finn (John Boyega)? Now you can see a brief snippet of how these actors trained for their roles; Target has released this little taste of the bonus features that will be exclusively available from their version of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-Ray combo pack,...
Is it a Game of Thrones Sword or the name of an 80s Metal Band?
The gang at Game of Thrones may be mostly blood thirsty lunatics when in character, but off camera they're actually quite lovely. That's the sense you get as the GoT team is raising money for The International Rescue Committee, the only international relief agency that's responding on all fronts to the refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East. This means that IRC is working inside war-torn Syria, as well as in neighboring host countries, in Greece and Serbia where refugees enter Europe,...
Bill Murray is Baloo in This new The Jungle Book Clip
Bill Murray as a happy-go-lucky bear? Well, of course. This new clip from The Jungle Book features Murray as Baloo, the friendly bear that the man-cub Mowgli (Neel Sethi) meets along his journey through the jungle. We've been publishing a lot of Jungle Book related videos lately, as Disney has been releasing behind-the-scene featurettes and clips featuring characters like Idris Elba's mighty tiger Shere Khan and Lupita Nyong'o's maternal wolf Raksha...
Watch the Extended Captain America: Civil War International TV Spot
The Russo Brothers have already delivered what many feel is the best stand alone Marvel film yet—Captain America: The Winter Soldier. So hopes are high that their big superhero battle between Team Cap and Team Iron Man will be even better. Captain America: Civil War has a lot more pieces to fit together, however, than The Winter Soldier did; those pieces have names, like the Black Panther and Spider-Man...

Yesterday, we shared Daisy Ridley's amazing Star Wars: The Force Awakens audition tape, which we'll embed again below for your watching pleasure. Today, thanks to Star Wars UK, we're also sharing this deleted scenes teaser, which showcases a few choice moments that never made it to the final cut; Kylo Ren boarding the Millennium Falcon after its' crash landed on the Starkiller base; a scene beneath Maz Kanata's cantina after The First Order attacks (we've written about this moment before—apparently Maz makes the ceiling crumble on the advancing Stormtroopers heads…with her mind) and more...
New International Trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse Teases Biggest Mutant Battle Yet
This new X-Men: Apocalypse international trailer, arriving from Portugal, once again reinforces the notion that Apocalypse will likely be the biggest mutant adventure yet, closing out the trilogy that began promisingly with X-Men: First Class and carried on, spectacularly, with X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Here's what we know thus far—director Bryan Singer is introducing us to the titular villain as the most powerful mutant of them all...

Five Incredible Moments in Film, Dissected
We're living in a world of rankings—the five best this, the ten worst that—so it's nice every once in a while to slow down and appreciate something that takes time to consider. Filmmaking is the antithesis of the instant gratification our Internet-and-social-media dominated world seems to rely on—like most of our best art, to do it right takes a lot of time.
With this in mind, CineFix has devoted their montage this week to five brilliant moments in film—unranked...
Mowgli Leaves the Pack in new The Jungle Book Clip
The more we see of Jon Favreau's upcoming remake of The Jungle Book, the more we're excited about how beautiful the blend of live-action and photoreal animation looks.
