The ‘Stargate’ Reboot Isn’t Happening Anytime Soon By Jack Giroux/Nov. 18, 2016 6:30 am EST Audiences weren’t too keen to jump back into the world of Independence Day this past summer. Roland Emmerich’s all-around underwhelming sequel failed to match half the success of its predecessor. The pricey sequel didn’t connect with audiences, meaning we probably won’t see Independence Day 3’s intergalactic journey anytime soon. Another sequel we maybe shouldn’t expect from Stonewall director Roland Emmerich?...

Those ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Crystal Foxes Have A Name; Learn How They Were Designed By Hoai-Tran Bui/Nov. 20, 2017 11:30 am EST The Star Wars: The Last Jedi crystal foxes didn’t grab out attention as much as the made-for-merchandising Porgs, but they were eye-catching all the same. Sharp, ethereal ears. Glowing, iridescent fur. And an eerie similarity to Pokemon designs. The fox officially has a name, and it’s called a vulptex....

From the footage we’ve seen so far, it certainly seems like Condon isn’t fixing anything that isn’t broken (even though I’m not entirely sure how I feel about some of the living object designs)....

Now, you can watch the full trailer, which features “Crazy in Love” performed by Miguel, fine supporting actors you hardly see any of, and plenty of more drama between Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan).

‘Unforgettable’ Trailer: Katherine Heigl Declares War On Rosario Dawson By Jacob Hall/Dec. 14, 2016 2:30 pm EST Unforgettable belongs to a surprisingly large subgenre: the “Jealous Woman Stalks The Woman Who Stole Her Man” thriller. If you aren’t familiar with this very specific kind of tale, you probably don’t go to movie theaters from January through April or have access to the Lifetime network. Anyway, the first trailer for this movie has arrived and at first glance, it certainly seems like Unforgettable isn’t going to surprise anyone familiar with this particular template....
