New Images & Details Emerge on Bond Women in Spectre
It's been a busy week in the news for Columbia Pictures' Spectre. First it was director Sam Mendes saying that this will definitely be his last Bond film (which is what he said after Skyfall, it should be noted). Tomorrow Columbia will be releasing a new trailer, and today, the film's four "Bond girls" (although this might not be a wholly accurate description of their characters, more on that in a second) were included in a new photo package published by USA Today.
Rectify Creator Ray McKinnon on Teaching Aussies the Georgia Accent
On the Sundance TV drama Rectify, which airs it's third episode of it's third season this Thursday evening (at 10/9 C), Daniel Holden moves back to his tiny Georgia hometown after spending 19 years on Death Row for the murder of a local 16-year old girl.

His Georgia dialect sounds authentic but in fact,
Kristen Stewart & Jesse Eisenberg Kill it in New American Ultra Trailer
Jesse Eisenberg as a stoner? Sure, that’s easy enough to imagine. Jesse Eisenberg as a Jason Bourne-like secret government sleeper agent who was turned into the one of the most lethal humans alive, was relieved of the memory of his training, and then called back into action by a clandestine agent played by Connie Britton? We’re in. It's a major bonus that his love interest in American Ultra is played by Kristen Stewart,
Dissecting the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con Trailer
Warner Bros. has only released a single photo from the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, of a gloomy looking Supe’(Henry Cavill) standing alone in the rain. In previous teasers, we've seen this rainy moment, and it's an epic one—Superman takes flight, hovering above a seriously pissed Batman (Ben Affleck), who promises to make him bleed.
The trailer released at Comic-Con, however, is 3-plus minutes of juicy action,
Leonardo DiCaprio & Tom Hardy in Epic The Revenant Trailer
Fresh off Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematographer, Alejandro González Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki are back with The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy as two seriously bearded and bedraggled 19th century frontiersmen.

“Welcome to NEVERLAND!” with the New Pan Trailer
The new trailer for Warner Bros.’s Pan tells a familiar and often told “story about a boy who would never grow up,” but does so with a whole new twist. This is not the story of the Peter Pan that we have all grown up with and cherished. Pan operates on the premise that to understand how the beloved story ends, we must explore its beginning – how “friends begin as enemies and enemies begin as friends.”

Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Throw a Rager in New Sisters Trailer
We’ve all been waiting for that perfect joint project between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, longtime friends and collaborators who met at Second City in Chicago, helped return SNL to cultural and comedic significance, and then went on to star in their own beloved comedies on TV. Yes, they’ve starred in Baby Mama together, and have crossed paths in Anchorman 2, Mean Girls, and, of course, Martin & Orloff (Google it).
Comic-Con 2015: Suicide Squad‘s Bad Girls & Guys Wow Crowd
"Oh, I'm not gonna kill you," says Jared Leto's joker, whose wears less makeup and more bling in his teeth than Heath Ledger did in his iconic performance in the role in 2008's The Dark Knight. "I'm just gonna hurt you really, really bad." After watching the first look at David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, we're pretty sure Warner Bros. won't be hurting when they release this film in a little over a year.
Comic-Con 2015: The Stars of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Matt Smith and Jack Huston have a bit of a bro-mance going on. The eleventh Dr. Who and the Boardwalk Empire star play very different characters in the upcoming Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but they both fail to gain the heart of Elizabeth Bennett (played by Cinderella star Lily James) and in an interview they joked that the main reason they made the film was the chance to work together.
The Next Han Solo Will Have to Live up to These Star Wars Moments
The ingredients for the recently announced standalone Han Solo film include two proven co-writers and directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 & 22 Jump Street, The Lego Movie), who know how to stage witty, exciting action, a good combo for a film about the most beloved rogue in the Star Wars galaxy (yes, even more beloved than Boba Fett).
Mulder & Scully are Back in 201 Days of The X-Files
When people think of the iconic TV duos of all time they think of Laverne & Shirley, Lucy & Ethel, Felix & Oscar, Jerry & Elaine – and of course, Mulder & Scully. The new 40-second promo for the upcoming Fox X-Files miniseries has just been released; in it we get our first glimpse of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson back together after 13, long, Mulder-and-Scully-less years.
When we say glimpse,
New Ant-Man Featurette: Marvel’s Biggest Avenger May Come in its Smallest Suit
He may not be as sexy a character as billionaire geinus (and narcissist) Tony Stark, as irresistibly rococo as the Hulk, or as satisfyingly kick-ass as the Black Widow, but you could argue none of these beloved Avengers are more important than Dr. Pym (Michael Douglas), the original Ant-Man, and the man he puts in his miraculous suit, thief-turned-hero, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd).
As one of the original founders of the Avengers, and “one of the smartest people in the Marvel universe,”
A Q&A With Sam Elliott, Whose Career, Like his Mustache, is as Strong as Ever
Veteran actor Sam Elliott, known for his impressive mustache and that velvet-in-gravel voice, at age 70 is experiencing a late-career resurgence.
Not only did he star in the final season of FX’s critically acclaimed series Justified (playing the clean-shaven Markham), Elliott was feted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival for three films: Digging for Fire, directed by Joe Swanberg; I’ll See You in My Dreams,
Michael Fassbender Channels Steve Jobs to Startling Effect
A great opening monologue, a great beat beneath it, and images of the legions of Apple fans (and worshippers) starts yet another fantastic new trailer released this week. In this new trailer for director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs, Apple’s tech genius Steve Wozniak, played by Seth Rogen, asks his mercurial, infuriating mastermind of a partner, Steve Jobs (Fassbender), the question we have all wondered about Jobs – “What do you do?”
New Creed Trailer is a Mike Tyson-in-his-Prime Knockout
“A great fighter once said, ‘it ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.’”
This reference to the 2006 film Rocky Balboa by the eponymous protagonist Adonis Johnson Creed says it all about the future of the “Rocky” franchise. This first Creed trailer has come out swinging and is definitely moving forward. The music, the first rate editing,
Will Legend be the Best Gangster Film in Years?
The premise is pretty fantastic—identical twin gangsters Ronald and Reginald Kray aim to takeover the London underground, with a little help from the Mafia. The twins are both played by Tom Hardy, an actor of singular intensity who can hold the screen with anybody (as he did with the incredible Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road). The writer/director is Brian Helgeland, the man who wrote 1997’s L.A. Confidential,
Thomas Haden Church Talks War Dogs, More in Max
Here’s a little known fact about actor/director/writer Thomas Haden Church: Following memorable turns on television (Wings) and in film (Free Money), he stepped away from acting in late 2000 and left Los Angeles for his 2,000-acre cattle ranch in his native Texas. It was director Alexander Payne who lured him back to the screen with a plum part in 2004’s sleeper indie hit Sideways,
Aligning Past, Present & Future in Terminator Genisys
Director Alan Taylor and writers Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier had a lot to juggle when they went to work on Terminator Genisys. With the four previous Terminator films and their corkscrewing stories, the filmmakers had to find a way to honor the universe the franchise has already built while setting off on their own, singular path. At what part of the saga of man's battle with machines would they pick up,
Katniss is Done Giving Speeches:The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Trailer
“Ladies and gentleman welcome to the 76th Hunger Games.” We just got our first look at the new trailer for Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and the word that comes to mind is payback. Of all the mega-jerks in the suite of dystopian films we've seen in the past few years, none are as sneeringly obnoxious as President Snow(Donald Sutherland).
The new trailer starts with an enormous, glamorous wedding filled with celebration,
