Andy Serkis Talks About his Star Wars: The Force Awakens Character

Of the many things we know next to nothing about in Star Wars: The Force Awakens is Supreme Leader Snoke, a crucial villain played by Andy Serkis. We knew Snoke would be rendered in performance-capture (of which Serkis is the undisputed king), and we knew he was bad (in Star Wars, anyone with 'supreme' in their title is bad), but that was about it. We heard his voice in that very first trailer,

Talking to Bryan Cranston & Director Jay Roach About Trumbo

Blacklisted in 1950s Hollywood for having been a member of the Communist Party, screenwriter Dalton Trumbo continued to do what he did best: write scripts.

This period in the writer's life is the subject of Trumbo, directed by Jay Roach and with Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston in the title role.

The first trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass is here, and it sets the stage nicely for what Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is up against—Time itself. That's Time with a capitol 'T,' played by Sacha Baron Cohen, who is central to the sequel's storyline and is part human, part clock.
