HBO Teases Westworld & Amy Schumer Live at the Apollo

It almost looks like a conventional western, which wouldn’t be a bad thing for HBO considering the last time they tackled the genre they gave us Deadwood. Only Westworld is hardly a proper western, as many of those cowboys and cowgirls aren’t actually human.

HBO dropped the teaser right before the True Detective finale last night, and it’s a creepy little number. Loosely based on the 1973 film written and directed by Michael Crichton,

Vin Diesel’s Beard, Angelina Jolie’s Rage & Marisa Tomei Enters Empire

A few new tasty trailers have been released, and they really couldn't be more different. Let's take a quick peek:

The Last Witch Hunter

At six seconds into The Last Witch Hunter trailer, we finally find out what Vin Diesel might look like if he played a young Saint Nicholas. That beard! Only this is no Christmas movie. The Last Witch Hunter is Diesel’s return to playing a kind of super soldier (think Riddick) in a world gone witchy.

New Everest IMAX Trailer is Phenomenal

“Human beings simply aren’t built to function at the cruising altitude of a 747. Everest is without a doubt the most dangerous place on Earth.”

This comes from Rob Hall (Jason Clarke), legendary New Zealand mountaineer and the head guide of the doomed 1996 Mount Everest expedition that Everest based on it. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (2 Guns, Contraband), Everest will follow two expedition groups,

Actress/Producer Miranda Bailey on The Diary of a Teenage Girl

As CEO of Cold Iron Pictures, Miranda Bailey believed strongly in Marielle Heller’s directorial debut, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, itself an adaptation of the critically acclaimed graphic novel by Phoebe Gloeckner. As a producer, Bailey had already proven herself to have a keen eye—she executive produced Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale, and more recently, Time out of Mind,

The Deadpool Trailer is Finally Here

When Wade Wilson goes in for his surgery, the one that will turn him into Deadpool, an anti-superhero with Wolverine-like healing powers, he’s told “one thing that never survives this place is a sense of humor.” That this isn’t close to true is one of the things that has fans salivating for the release of Deadpool. As this trailer proves, this film will have, among the usual accoutrements of the superhero genre, along with a huge heaping of very blue humor.

Mission: Impossible Stunt Coordinator on Tom Cruise’s Feats

Tom Cruise is famous for his tenacity when it comes to performing his own stunts, but now that he’s in his fifties he would be forgiven for taking things a little bit easier. But that just isn’t Cruise’s style. If anything, he’s pushing himself harder than ever. Take the opening scene of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. During the four minute, 10-second sequence, Cruise- as secret agent Ethan Hunt- hangs off the side of an Airbus A400M during its steep vertical takeoff.

Greta Gerwig & Lola Kirke Talk Mistress America

Mistress America is a sharply observed, witty story about Tracy, a freshman at NYU, played by Lola Kirke, who becomes friendly with her prospective stepsister named Brooke, played by Greta Gerwig., who co-wrote the film with director Noah Baumbach.

Tracy, a would-be writer who is feeling alone, uncertain, and a little lost, is initially dazzled by Brooke’s sophistication and confidence, though she admits that she often goes along with Brooke because it is fun,

The Intern Trailer: Using Humor to Tackle Ageism

Warner Bros. Pictures just released the second official trailer for The Intern by Oscar-nominated and award-winning writer/filmmaker Nancy Meyers. Meyers, the highest-grossing female director, with a body of work which includes hits like It’s Complicated, Something’s Gotta Give, and Private Benjamin, has that rare ability to use humor to subtly guide her audiences to confront their attitudes about vital societal issues. At 65,

Sizzling Venice Lineup Includes Black Mass, Everest & Beasts of No Nation

Between September 2nd and October 11th, four major film festivals take place, each with their share of major world premieres. Venice runs from September 2-12, Telluride from September 4-7, Toronto from September 10-20, and finally New York, from September 25 to October 11. It's sort of insane to think that in a little over a month this many major films, many of them likely to end up vying for Oscars, will be seen in such a glut.

The Two Most Intense Stunts in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

When it comes to stunts and action set pieces in franchise films, we want them bigger, better, faster, and more insane in each new film. From Fast & Furious to The Avengers have to deal with a monster of their own making—how to one up the last thing they did, which was often, at the time, what they thought was near the limit of what was possible. For franchises in the Marvel universe,

Michael Bay’s Benghazi Movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Paramount released the first trailer for Michael Bay's 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, portraying the Sept. 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya. The trailer begins with swiftly cut images of the U.S. consulate, one familiar face (John Krasinski, playing Jack Silva, a former Navy SEAL who we'll assume is one of the secret soldiers of the film's title) and text that read, "In 2012, the threat level in Benghazi,

15 Years Later, They’re Younger? Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp

The premise is, in our mind, perfect: the Wet Hot American Summer gang is back, 15-years after David Wain and Michael Showalter’s original classic, only they’re playing slightly younger versions of themselves in First Day of Camp.

“We’re supposedly playing 16-year olds,” says Elizabeth Banks.

“Everyone looks like they’re playing their own parents,” says Amy Poehler.

"We're all really too young to understand any of these things,"

Henry Jackman on Scoring Kingsman: The Secret Service, Pixels, Captain America & More

Killer pre-teens (Kick-Ass), killer mutants (X-Men: First Class), killer Samuel L. Jackson’s (Kingsman: The Secret Service) and now killer classic arcade game characters (Pixels), composer Henry Jackman has scored his fair share of intense action and mayhem. He's been the composer of the apocalypse (This is the End), high seas drama (Captain Phillips),

Fans Hilariously Answer Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Question

Hugh Jackman will put away the claws after his appearance in the upcoming, stand alone and as of yet untitled Wolverine film. Jackman’s been having fun with his long goodbye, as evidenced by the latest image he posted on his Twitter feed. We’ll assume he’s flipping off his adversaries and not us, his fans.

There have been hints that Jackman’s final turn as Wolverine will revolve around the Old Man Logan storyline from the comics,

Fantastic Four “Invisibility” Featurette Includes Actual Invisibility

As we inch closer to the August 7 premiere of Fantastic Four, the re-imagining of Marvel’s iconic and longest-running superhero team, the studio is dropping little nuggets to satiate us until the release. The latest is this “Invisibility” featurette, which stars…theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku?

Yup, that’s right, the author of “Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension,” “Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers,

A Look Alex Gibney’s Steve Jobs Doc The Man in the Machine

While people are understandably excited about director Danny Boyle’s upcoming Steve Jobs, starring Michael Fassbender and based on a script by Aaron Sorkin, there’s another Jobs film you might want to set a reminder for on your iPhone (or Apple Watch): Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine. A new trailer, and the pedigree of the director, should pique your interest.

Directed by Academy Award winning documentarian Alex Gibney (Going Clear,

The Kids are All Right: Casting Director Ronna Kress on Paper Towns

Casting director Ronna Kress has worked on everything from The Great Gatsby, to Mad Max: Fury Road and Terminator Genisys. Kress talks to The Credits about casting British supermodel Cara Delevingne in her breakout role as Margot in Paper Towns, which is based on the book of the same name by bestselling teen author John Green, and the most unusual place she’s discovered new talent.

Paper Towns Screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber

When I originally met screenwriter Michael Weber, he was doing publicity for a small-budget 2013 film entitled The Spectacular Now that he co-scripted with his writing partner, Scott Neustadter. That film, which had been languishing in development for years, went on to receive critical acclaim and helped shoot its two stars— Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley— into superstardom.

Weber and Neustadter earned raves for that successful adaption of Tim Tharp’s novel.

Woody Allen’s Philosopher Fetish in Five Films

Woody Allen’s latest film, Irrational Man, is likely to elicit groans or worse from Allen’s detractors. The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix as Abe Lucas, a floundering philosophy professor for whom things get better after he enters into a relationship with a student, Jill Pollard (Emma Stone). He also considers murdering a judge — who, at least, is corrupt — which also lifts his spirits. Murder and May-December relationships aside, the film’s biggest non-surprise is that Allen finally put a philosopher,

Need a Midweek Smile? Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur Trailer & This Song Will Help

Need a midweek boost? Check out Pixar’s smile inducing trailer for The Good Dinosaur. The stunning visuals of glittering stars (the kind in the sky) and tumbling rocks make us forget that this movie is in fact animated – it's got that Pixar quality of being almost photo-realistic and yet entirely dreamlike – it is the kind of world we wished we lived in, no boring desks and long lines for a Mochachino.
