New Batman v Superman Batmobile Clip

From their clever partnership with Turkish Air and these two great Super Bowl spots, to the last official trailer (which was, by far, the best of the bunch), Warner Bros. has been feeding us ample Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice bits. The latest little taste of titanic battle between Gotham's Dark Knight and Metropolis's alien god is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it clip of Batman (Ben Affleck) behind the wheel of cinema's most beloved car. It'll be interesting to see just how dark Snyder took the Dark Knight—

Watch the New Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny Trailer

Netflix dropped a fresh Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny trailer, and it reminds us once again of how Michelle Yeoh as Yu Shu-Lien is still one of the most underrated bad asses in film this century. You remember her from Ang Lee’s 2000 Academy Award-winning original film, and now she's the center of Netflix's followup. Sword of Destiny will hit IMAX theaters and Netflix worldwide on February 26. Crouching Tiger,

Berlinale 2016: Director Gina Abatemarco on her Beautiful, Haunting Doc Kivalina

In the early 1900’s, the U.S. government opened schools for Inuit communities across the Alaskan Arctic. Hardly a noble act, the schools were a vehicle for forcing the settlement of tribes who had been living traditional nomadic lifestyles up until the Bureau of Indian Affairs demanded they enroll their children in those schools, thereby drastically altering these nomadic communities’ way of life. Director Gina Abatemarco’s documentary Kivalina, which opened at the Berlinale this week,

Judd Apatow Brings the Love to Netflix

The warts and all view of relationships we know and love from Judd Apatow’s comedies is set to become bingeable with today’s premiere of his Netflix series Love. Love follows dorky nice guy Gus (Paul Rust) and freewheeling tough girl Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) as they embark on a relationship. The half hour comedy series was created, written and executive produced by Apatow, Rust and Lesley Arfin. It was originally conceived as a film by husband and wife team Rust and Arfin (who was a writer on the Apatow-produced Girls) and Apatow helped them develop it into a TV rom-com about a slow-burning romance.

Talking to Director Stephen Hopkins About Race

Race tells the incredible story of the track and field athlete Jesse Owens and how he came to win four gold medals in front of Hitler at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. We talk to the director Stephen Hopkins about why he considers Race more a political thriller than a sports film, the parallels between Nazi propaganda and social media and how he knew he’d found the right actor to play Owens. Do you think audiences will be surprised about how little they know about the details of Jesse Owens’

Berlinale 2016: Jude Law Works the Good and Bad in Genius

Opening yesterday at the 66th Berlinale was Genius, a reflective tale of extreme talent and the monstrosity that can be wrought by it, based on the short creative life of early 20th century writer Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law). The movie is the directorial debut of British theater director Michael Grandage, who does an admirable job re-creating New York on the edge, crashing from Jazz Age paradise into slummy Great Depression chaos (Wolfe’s first novel,

Stephan James Trained Like Olympic Legend Jesse Owens for Race

The punishing training regimes that actors undergo to transform their bodies for roles is well-documented: think Hugh Jackman, Chris Pratt, Michael B. Jordan, Chris Hemsworth and Ryan Reynolds, who have all pumped up the volume on their muscles at various times to play heroes on the silver screen. Jordan, in particular, turned his body into a credible fighting machine for his outstanding performance in Creed. 

But for Canadian actor Stephan James,

How They Filmed the Climatic Final Battle in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

At the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the ground literally shakes when Rey faces off with Kylo Ren in an epic light saber duel. Then, it starts to give way. The scene required a lot of heavy duty effects work, which was handled by the team at Industrial Light & Magic.

Variety reports that the ILM team, led by f/x technical director Dan Pearson,

This The Other Side of the Door Clip is Very Creepy

Director Johannes Roberts' The Other Side of the Door teases out two oft-used conceits in horror films; 1) people always disobey grave warnings, no matter how dire the promised consequences are, and 2) a mother will do anything, anything for her child. In this case, the mother (Sarah Wayne Callies) will do anything to bring her son (Jax Malcolm) back to life, which includes using an ancient ritual and disregarding a warning about the portal between life and death.

10 Cloverfield Lane Hides Subliminal Images in New Trailer

For those of you who saw Deadpool over President's Day weekend, you also got a chance to see the new trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane, the horror/thriller/sci-fi romp by J.J. Abrams production company Bad Robot. Now the film was already shrouded in secrecy, so the news emerging from the latest trailer is, if not surprising, at least interesting. According to ScreenCrush,

New Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 Image Released, Filming Underway

While Deadpool might be your favorite irreverent Marvel superhero at the moment, let’s not forget the mouthy, motley space crew who proved comic book characters could not only be truly funny, but lovable, too (we’re looking at you, Groot.) Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Groot (Vin Diesel), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bautista) are back, and Marvel has officially announced the start of shooting on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

Idris Elba Makes a Strong Case in Bastille Day Trailer

Bastille Day has the opportunity to be two things; a potentially exciting original film in its' own right, and, a two hour test reel proving that there’s no one better suited to take over the role of James Bond than Idris Elba. Period. End of story.

Now back to Bastille Day—the film follows a young American artist (Richard Madden, Game of Thrones) living in Paris mainly off the proceeds of his pick pocketing.

Midnight Special Tests Information-Free Waters at the Berlinale

Science fiction, thriller, or family drama? Jeff Nichols’ latest film, Midnight Special, which opens this week after premiering at the Berlinale, absorbingly mixes all three genres. Lead actor and perpetual Nichols collaborator Michael Shannon is a valiant dad on the run, trying to save his eight-year-old son, Alton (Jaeden Lieberher), from both a religious cult and the US government. These two entities are equally fervent — if sometimes mysteriously so —

Watch the new Alice Through the Looking Glass TV Spot

Alice Through the Looking Glass opens in theaters on May 27, but Disney used last night's Grammy Awards as a prime spot to showcase this spot for their fantasy sequel. Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is coming back to Wonderland, reuniting with The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), the Blue Caterpillar (the late, great Alan Rickman), and the White Queen (Anne Hathaway). Your newcomers are director James Bobin (replacing Tim Burton), Sacha Baron Cohen as Time and Rhys Ifans as Zanick Hightopp. 

The Wild Hail, Caesar! Press Conference at the 66th Berlinale Film Festival

An unwitting, kidnapped communist. A gay (or so implied) tap dancing undercover agent. Very angry rival twin gossip columnists. These are George Clooney, Channing Tatum, and Tilda Swinton in Joel and Ethan Coen’s latest, Hail Caesar!, which doesn’t have quite the gravitas of, say, No Country For Old Men, or even A Serious Man, but more than makes up for that in chuckles,

Chatting With How To Be Single Director Christian Ditter

How To Be Single, starring Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson and Leslie Mann, is the perfect anti-Valentine’s Day option for singles in need of some fortification. We talk to its German director Christian Ditter about filming in New York for the first time, encouraging the actors to improvise and signing on to direct Netflix’s Girlboss.    

Do you want to tell me a little bit about how this project came about for you?

New Teaser Hints at Opening Shot of Star Wars: Episode VIII

Principal photography officially began on Star Wars: Episode VIII at Pinewood Studios in London on February 15, 2016. The teaser announcing this news had one very interesting reveal—either this could be one of the opening shots of Episode VIII, or, writer/director Rian Johnson was on set for the very final shot of The Force Awakens. Considering The Force Awakens was very much J.J.

Know Your Oscar Nominees: Costume Designers

One of this year’s most eclectic categories at the Academy Awards is the category for best achievement in costume design. The five films in that category each take place in a distinctive time period and the costumes in each production brilliantly capture the look and appearances of the film’s characters.

Of the five nominees, three of the movies take place in the past while one takes place in an apocalyptic future. The last film takes place in a land far,

Jesus Returns (Again) to the Big Screen in Risen

Another year, another dramatic Bible rendering. The latest in a pantheon of Jesus film depictions, the movie Risen opens on February 19, dramatizing Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. The action is seen through the eyes of some of the bad guy Roman non-believers, Clavius (Ralph Fiennes) and his assistant, Lucius (Tom Felton), who are tasked with finding out where exactly Jesus disappeared to after crucifixion. More action than spiritual reflection, many red paludamentums are angrily swung around during the sturm and drang that ensues in the hunt for Christ’s body.

Talking to Writer-Director Tobias Lindholm About his Oscar-Nominated A War

The third big-screen collaboration between Danish writer-director Tobias Lindholm and actor Pilou Asbaek, A War follows a company commander through the horrors of Afghanistan and back to Denmark, where he's put on trial for alleged war crimes. The movie, an Oscar nominee for best foreign-language film, has a semi-improvisational style and features mostly nonprofessional performers. Lindholm's two previous movies, R and A Hijacking,
