Batman v Superman: Lex Luthor Jr. Grants an Interview to Fortune Mag

It’s a pretty clever piece of viral marketing: Fortune Magazine has published an exclusive interview with Lex Luthor Jr. , the “31-year-old wunderkind who transformed an aging petrochemical and heavy machinery dinosaur into a tech darling of the Fortune 500 in what some call a superhuman feat.”  There were rumors that Warner Bros. was going to drop a new trailer for Batman v Superman on us sometime this month,

Three lifelong best friends, Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Isaac (Seth Rogen) and Chris (Anthony Mackie) have a tradition—they go out and cause mayhem on Christmas Eve. To get a sense of how wild Jonathan Levine’s film might be, take a look at the cast—along with the aforementioned leads, you’ve got the always great Lizzy Caplan and Michael Shannon, Miley Cyrus and Kayne West, and for good measure, Mindy Kaling. That’s a ludicrously potent list of personalities for

Meet Tigris, the New The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 Character

Model-turned actress Eugenie Bondurant is a tall, striking beauty who appears in the final The Hunger Game: Mockingjay – Part 2 as a character named Tigris, a former Hunger Games champion who so identifies with tigers that she has had plastic surgery to make herself look more feline. Bondurant worked with a dance choreographer to help develop tiger-like movements and “just a rhythm for this character. I looked on YouTube and went to the zoo and did things like that but really the main thing is working with the choreographer because she helped tremendously.”

With NASA’s Help, The Martian Plumbs Real Science for Thrills

As a genre, science fiction tends to lean more heavily on the fiction side of things than the science. Think Star Wars, The Matrixand Blade Runner. Ridley Scott’s latest movie The Martian, on the other hand, is an ode to the compelling nature of actual science, with both a plausible plot and realistic aesthetics.

Watch a Brutal Bear Attack inThe Revenant’s New Trailer

At 50 seconds into The Revenant's new trailer, you see the moment that changes everything for trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio). Glass and his fellow trappers, including John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy) and Jim Bridger (Will Poulter), are moving through the forest when a huge grizzly attacks, crashing atop Glass. The moment is thrilling, terrifying, and very realistic. Grievously wounded and therefore a burden, Fitzgerald decides to bury Glass alive rather than care for him until he's healed.
