‘Han Solo’ First Look: Alden Ehrenreich’s Take On The Famed Smuggler Has ’70s Hair And Everything By Jacob Hall/May 19, 2017 9:00 am EST Right now, the folks at the Disney marketing department are probably sitting back at their desks and groaning. Why didn’t they release an official still of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo in Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s upcoming spin-off movie when they had a chance? Now, our first look at the Hail, Caesar!...

‘Incorporated’ Trailer: Ben Affleck And Matt Damon’s Syfy Series By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 22, 2016 2:00 pm EST Last year we told you that longtime BFFs Matt Damon and Ben Affleck would be teaming up again on a futuristic spy thriller series called Incorporated for Syfy. The first Incorporated trailer has hit the web, and you can get your first look at the upcoming Damon/Affleck-produced Syfy series after the jump. Syfy’s Incorporated Trailer...

‘Logan’ Director James Mangold Wants To Make An X-23 Spinoff By Angie Han/Feb. 17, 2017 3:30 pm EST Hugh Jackman’s Logan is the undisputed star of Logan (you know, as indicated by the title), but its resident scene-stealer is definitely Laura, a.k.a. X-23. As played by 11-year-old Dafne Keen, she’s a force of nature who’s more than capable of holding her own against veteran X-Men like Wolverine and Professor X. I’ve got a strong feeling she’ll emerge as a new fan favorite as more and more people get to see Logan....

‘Logan’ Won’t Have A Post-Credits Scene After All, But May Still Have Something Extra By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 23, 2017 10:00 am EST The same source that previously confirmed the existence of a Logan credits scene has since rescinded that story. But in the same breath, they indicate that while those extra few minutes won’t be spent on a credits scene, fans will still get some kind of treat before the movie starts....

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Still Boldly Going As New Character Details Arrive By Jacob Hall/Oct. 27, 2016 11:30 am EST Yesterday, Star Trek: Discovery encountered its biggest speed bump yet when Bryan Fuller stepped down as showrunner, leaving Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts in command of the bridge. Although Fuller will still be involved, this felt like a low blow for Star Trek fans. After all, much of the appeal of the new series seemed from Fuller, a Trek veteran and the creator beloved shows like Hannibal and Pushing Daisies, being the one to steer this particular ship....

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Built Too Many Sets, George Lucas Says By Hoai-Tran Bui/Dec. 14, 2017 9:30 am EST The original script of Star Wars: The Last Jedi called for a whopping 160 sets, according to The Hollywood Reporter, more than could feasibly be made even under massive entertainment studios like Disney/Lucasfilm. “A ridiculous amount of sets,” said Last Jedi production designer Rick Heinrichs, who was able to settle the number of sets with Johnson, decreasing the number to 125 sets on 14 stages at London’s Pinewood Studios....

‘The Deuce’ Season 2 Trailer: Maggie Gyllenhaal And James Franco Are Back And Bound For Glory By Hoai-Tran Bui/Aug. 6, 2018 7:30 am EST It’s the height of the ’70s, and business is a-booming for the characters of The Deuce. The HBO drama series jumps ahead five years for its second season, following Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Eileen “Candy” Merrell, James Franco’s Vincent Martino and Frankie Martino, Gbenga Akinnagbe’s Larry Brown, and more as they navigate the seedy New York underworld and the burgeoning pornography industry....

‘The Predator’ Reshoots Have Altered The Majority Of Its Third Act By Ben Pearson/April 12, 2018 9:30 am EST We’ve been waiting for years to see writer/director Shane Black’s sci-fi sequel The Predator, and this fall, we’ll finally get to see his take on the iconic alien race of big game hunters. Now one of the movie’s actors has revealed that recent reshoots have significantly changed a majority of the film’s final act....

‘Triple Threat’ Will Unite Tony Jaa, Tiger Chen, And Iko Uwais For Three Times The Ass-Kicking By Jacob Hall/Nov. 8, 2016 1:30 pm EST Do you want to hear a really, really good idea? How about an action movie that unites the stars of Ong-Bak, Man of Tai Chi, and The Raid and lets them do what they do best. That’s the selling point of the appropriately titled Triple Threat, the latest film to be revealed at the American Film Market and a project that I would very much like to have injected into my eyeballs right now, thank you very much....

A ‘Micronauts’ Animated Series Will Bring Another Hasbro Toy Line To Life In 2019 By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 1, 2018 11:00 am EST The Micronauts are coming to Earth. An animated series adaptation of the space toy line is being developed by Hasbro Studios, for a 2019 release. Micronauts was a popular line of sci-fi toys from the 1970s, itself based on the Japanese Microman cyborg toys. And as was the case with many ’70s and ’80s toys, Micronauts eventually became a comic book series, first published by Marvel in 1979....

Christopher Nolan Says He Saw ‘La La Land’ Three Times In Theaters By Ben Pearson/July 19, 2017 12:30 pm EST Unless it’s Steven Soderbergh publishing his exhaustive lists of all of the media he consumes in a given year, or someone like Quentin Tarantino dropping his always-eclectic annual list of favorite movies, we often don’t get much insight into what working filmmakers spend their free time watching. But thanks to a new interview, we know that Dunkirk director Christopher Nolan spent at least six hours watching Damien Chazelle’s Hollywood throwback musical La La Land, because he says he saw the film three times in theaters....

Colin Powell Movie Will Star Morgan Freeman As The Former Secretary Of State By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 19, 2017 2:00 pm EST The life of retired four-star general and former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell is receiving the biopic treatment, and one of the best actors in the biz has just signed up to play the part. Morgan Freeman will play Powell in a new film from Marshall director Reginald Hudlin....

We’ll be bringing you all of the important updates about upcoming movies and TV shows, but in the meantime, we’ve got a line on some of the outstanding collectible artwork you’ll be able to get your hands on from the showfloor (and some you can get online too)....

Cool Stuff: Epic ‘Lord Of The Rings’ & ‘The Hobbit’ Box Set To Rule Them All By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 17, 2016 2:30 pm EST Both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies have seen multiple releases on home video. In fact, I’ve lost count of just how many different home video releases there have been of Lord of the Rings. But now the definitive collection of all six extended cuts of Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth films is coming this fall, and it’s undoubtedly the one box set to rule them all....

Coolio Says He Almost Played Scarecrow In A Third Joel Schumacher ‘Batman’ Movie By Jacob Hall/Feb. 10, 2017 7:30 am EST I’m not going to turn this post into a defense of Joel Schumacher’s much-maligned Batman movies, but if someone cut me a check with the appropriate number of zeroes and asked me to defend them, I could do it! Few movies are so unique in their terribleness, so astonishingly wrongheaded as to cause migraines amongst fans 20 years later....

Iron Man’s ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Armor Revealed By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 15, 2018 9:30 am EST What version of the Iron Man suit are we at now? Mark 1,893? Robert Downey Jr.‘s Tony Stark is an eternal tinkerer, and it’s resulted in him creating 46 separate versions of the advanced armor that first helped him to bust out of a cave in Afghanistan. The newest version will debut in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, but Marvel has been keeping a tight lid on the official reveal of the suit — perhaps waiting until the new Avengers toys hit shelves....

The legendary director is not shying away from testing new cinematic mediums, juggling projects released through both streaming websites and the regular old studio system. His past two TV projects have been prestigious period projects released through HBO and developed with Terence Winter, but Scorsese seems to be breaking the mold once again....

Meet ‘The Magnificent Seven’ With These New Character Vignettes By Jack Giroux/Sept. 1, 2016 4:00 pm EST Assembling a cast that doesn’t pale in comparison to the original The Magnificent Seven’s ensemble must not have been easy. We’re still waiting to see how Antoine Fuqua’s remake of John Sturges’ western compares to the original, but The Equalizer director certainly put together a cast that inspires promise. Whether they match the charm of the original cast doesn’t really matter, because even if they come halfway to capturing the magic the original cast had, then we’re in for a treat....

New Look At The ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Iron Spider Armor Reveals A New Feature By Chris Evangelista/March 5, 2018 9:30 am EST We caught glimpses of Spider-Man’s Iron Spider suit at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming and in the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War.

Rian Johnson Did Not Write The ‘Star Wars: Episode 9’ Script Treatment By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 27, 2017 8:30 am EST With a different director from sequel to sequel, it would have been great synergy for Lucasfilm to get the director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi to write the script treatment to its follow-up, Star Wars Episode 9. In fact, that’s what was reported back in June 2014, when it was announced that Rian Johnson would create a treatment upon which Episode 9 director Colin Trevorrow and screenwriter Derek Connolly would build the movie....
