New The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Clip puts Katniss in her Place

When this new The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 clip, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is reunited with friend Finnick (Sam Claflin) as her squad, 451, assembles under the command of Boggs (Mahershala Ali) and his second in command, Lt. Jackson (Michelle Forbes). What Katniss discovers in this moment is that her mission, along with friends Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) are in the “Star Squad”—meaning, they will not be fighting on the front lines (despite their unique skill sets),

The Legendary Roger Deakins: A Director’s Cinematographer

In 1995, cinematographer Roger Deakins — a man who had been working in the business for two decades — earned his first Oscar nomination for his work on the beloved Frank Darabont drama, The Shawshank Redemption. Now, twenty years later, Deakins has established himself as one of the most well-known and respected cinematographers in the world.

In the past two decades, he has been nominated for twelve Academy Awards for films as varied as Fargo,

Building Life on Mars With The Martian’s Production Designer Arthur Max

Arthur Max has worked with director Ridley Scott as the production designer on everything from Gladiator to Prometheus. He talks to The Credits about working closely with NASA to create the (largely) scientifically accurate world of The Martian and how his work, and Hollywood generally, have a surprising history of influencing America’s space agencies’ designs.

The Martian is a sci-fi movie,

Sicario Reunites Director Denis Villeneuve & Cinematographer Roger Deakins

In Sicario, director Denis Villenueve and cinematographer Roger Deakins have re-teamed after their successful first collaboration on Prisoners (2013). In that film, Villeneuve extended his explorations of morality and violence seen in his earlier Canadian films, but integrated them into conventions of the Hollywood child kidnapping sub-genre. The result was a disturbing and frightening movie that gave equal focus to the semi-abstract, atmospheric environment as it did to the stand out performances of its cast. 

Filmmaker Gillian Armstrong on her Doc Women He’s Undressed

Gillian Armstrong, whose now-classic My Brilliant Career (1979) was the first Australian feature length film to be directed by a woman for 46 years, has worked both inside and outside of Hollywood her entire career. Her latest film merges both worlds: Women He’s Undressed(it comes out on October 10 in select cities), a documentary about fellow Australian Orry George Kelly, the three-time Oscar-winning costume designer (for An American in Paris,

Don’t Get Into a Bar Fight With Jessica Jones

With Jessica Jones release date of November 20 creeping up, Netflix and Marvel Entertainment have released another teaser for their upcoming series, which features Krysten Ritter in the title role.

In this teaser, we see the aftermath of a few unlucky bar patrons who have clearly picked a fight with Jessica Jones, unaware she's a superhero and that one of her abilities is superhuman strength. It'll be fun to see the actual fight—for now,

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.” 

A Game of Thrones Movie? Rumors, Rumors…

Editor's note: we were excited by the news reported by The Daily Star that George R. R. Martin had confirmed a Game of Thrones movie was in the works—alas, it looks like that might not be the case. Variety reported this morning that Martin to took his Livejournal to debunk this rather juicy rumor. Below is the initial story, which got our hopes up a tad too much.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula: Francis Ford Coppola on Finding Vlad the Impaler’s Grave

Sony Home Entertainment is releasing the Blu-ray DVD of Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula on October 6. With that release come some juicy behind-the-scenes footage of the legendary director talking about his beautiful, beastly 1992 film.

Starring Gary Oldman as Dracula, it should come as no surprise that the man who brought us 

Steadicam Inventor Garrett Brown to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award

In July of 2014, we ran a two-part interview with Steadicam® inventor Garrett Brown. It was just announced that Brown will receive the Charles F. Jenkins Lifetime Achievement Award during the Television Academy’s 67th Engineering Emmy Awards. There are few individuals who have made a greater impact on film and TV that Brown. Brown was awarded an Oscar for Technical Achievement in 1978 for his invention.

Brown, a Philadelphia-based cinematographer, introduced the Steadicam in the early 1970s, a device that supports a handheld camera that allows the operator to film a subject in motion without the shaking that typically comes with handheld shots.

“The Truth IS Still Out There” in this new The X-Files Trailer

The first 24-seconds of the trailer begins with a man’s voice in a low staccato rhythm, “It will probably start on a Friday. What will seem like an attack on America by terrorists or Russia, driven by a well oiled, well armed and multinational group of elites, using alien technology the government’s been hiding for seventy years.” If we heard nothing else but this, punctuated by a single base note, we could guess which dynamic duo is returning after an almost fourteen year absence –

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 Matrix, and 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.

Why is Everyone Dancing on the set of Pan?

Why couldn’t Hugh Jackman cut through this sheet?

And why is everybody dancing on the set of Pan? These are the questions that arise when watching these two 15 second teasers of outtakes from the set of Pan, which opens on October 9.

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.

Watch Trevor Noah’s First 11 Minutes on The Daily Show

"Growing up in the dusty streets of South Africa, I never dreamed that I would one day have, well, two things, really," Trevor Noah began as the new host of The Daily Show. "An indoor toilet and a job as host of The Daily Show. Now I have both, and I'm quite comfortable with one of them." It was a humble, funny start for the new host, one who faced his fair share of controversy from the moment he was selected,

Watch Bradley Cooper as a Rampaging Chef in Burnt

Bradley Cooper plays Adam Jones, a hotshot (and hot headed) American chef who made more enemies than he did meals in an epic flameout in Paris in Burnt. Now, Jones wants to resurrect his career in London, putting his diva behavior and past drug use behind him as he attempts to create the most ambitious kitchen on the planet.

We all know Cooper can do intensity, and with Sienna Miller,

New Photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy in The Revenant

As we wrote back in July, there is just a ton of reasons to be very, very excited for The Revenant. The film's director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki (we've interviewed both, you can read our chat with Iñárritu here, and and Lubezki here), both took home Academy Awards last year for their work on Birdman (which also won Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay).

Has Rick Met his Match? Watch Epic Season 6 Teaser for The Walking Dead

We're inching closer to the first episode of The Walking Dead's sixth season, after one hell of a ride in season 5. 

Let's take a quick look back on last season to get us up to speed on what's coming. Season 5 showed our main group, still led by Rich Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), begin to fray in Alexandria. Compared to the Alexandrians, who have lived relatively safely behind the walls of their city,

Watch the Norn Cave Deleted Scene From Avengers: Age of Ultron

You can excuse director Joss Whedon for having to leave quite a bit on the cutting room floor considering how much ground (and sky, and space) he had to cover in Avengers: Age of Ultron. One of the scenes that didn't make it into the film was this extended look at the Norn Cave that Marvel has just released.

The Norn Cave has a small but very magically potent pool that Thor prepares to enter,
