By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 9, 2016 10:30 am EST First of all, Bryan Singer will not be returning to direct another X-Men movie, despite the rumor we had heard that the next X-Men sequel would shoot in 2017 with him behind the camera. This is a bit surprising since Singer was already talking about how the next movie could take the mutants into space, perhaps delivering a better version of the Dark Phoenix Saga to the big screen....
John Williams Suggests ‘Episode 9’ Will Be His Last ‘Star Wars’ Movie By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 2, 2018 8:00 am EST There’s no Star Wars without John Williams. The legendary composer has been scoring the franchise since 1977, and his name has become synonymous with the soaring, indelible theme songs.

Williams recently earned an Oscar nomination for his score in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but he may soon be taking The Last Jedi’s message to heart: “Let the past die....

Seth Rogen Will Play Walter Cronkite For David Gordon Green By Jacob Hall/Dec. 11, 2017 12:30 pm EST Seth Rogen joining a David Gordon Green movie is not surprising news – they previously collaborated on the very funny stoner comedy Pineapple Express. David Gordon Green making a movie about legendary newsman Walter Cronkite and CBS News on the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination is not surprising news – he is a versatile filmmaker who has floated between genres with ease....

After gestating for nearly 10 years at Relativity Media, then drifting aimlessly in development hell after the studio went bankrupt, The Crow will finally bring to modern day the 1994 supernatural action movie (based on the comic of the same name) that originally starred Brandon Lee as the undead man bent on vengeance....

Ryan Murphy revealed that American Horror Story season 8 will be an epic crossover of previous seasons Murder House (season 1) and Coven (season 3).

‘Blade Runner 2049’ Box Office Failure Might Cost Producers $80 Million By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 8, 2017 3:00 pm EST This just in from the This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things Department: Blade Runner 2049, the existential sci-fi tone poem sequel from Denis Villeneuve, was such a box office disappointment that it faces an $80 million loss for its producers. Chalk this up to a case of history repeating itself, as the original Blade Runner wasn’t a huge hit upon its initial release either, only to eventually earn a cult classic status....
‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 7 Will Somehow Get Even Bleaker, Promise Stars By Angie Han/Aug. 23, 2016 8:30 am EST Game of Thrones is a pretty grim show and always has been.

‘Madeline’s Madeline’ Trailer: The Trippy Sundance Favorite Has An Even Trippier Trailer By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 27, 2018 8:04 am EST When Madeline’s Madeline premiered at Sundance earlier this year, it was hailed as one of the festival’s best and boldest films. But simply reading a review couldn’t do justice to the weird, surreal, mind-bending movie that is Josephine Decker’s ode to the theater. Madeline’s Madeline Trailer There’s not much about the movie’s plot that you can glean from the trailer....
By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 27, 2016 4:30 pm EST When it was announced that Chicago director Rob Marshall would be helming a reboot of Mary Poppins, I wasn’t interested. Don’t get me wrong; I like the original Walt Disney adaptation quite a bit, but for me what makes the film is the music by the Sherman Brothers. And I was very skeptical that they would be able to recapture that magic, even with the pitch perfect casting of Emily Blunt as the titular hero....
