Plus, he’s also release a snippet of the score from The Wolverine composer Marco Beltrami (not Cliff Martinez), and it sounds rather haunting and frantic....

Annapurna Pictures has hired him to direct Waco, a movie about the 1993 Texas conflict that raged between the FBI and a right-wing cult group and resulted in a body count of more than 75 people....

Robert Kirkman Adapting ‘Birthright, A Fantasy Comic Version Of ‘Flight Of The Navigator’ By Ben Pearson/Jan. 29, 2018 3:00 pm EST A new report says that The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman will produce a film version of the comic Birthright at Universal Pictures as part of the studio’s first-look deal with Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment. If you’ve ever wondered what Flight of the Navigator might look like as a fantasy story instead of a science fiction story, this sounds like it might be pretty close to that....

Superhero Bits: ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Named Gayest Marvel Movie, Cable Joins Guardians Of The Galaxy & More By Ethan Anderton/June 21, 2018 6:00 pm EST Which video game version of Batman was spotted in Ready Player One? When are Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Black Lightning returning to The CW? Which mutant is joining the future Guardians of the Galaxy in Marvel Comics? What does Taika Waititi have to say about Thor: Ragnarok being declared the gayest Marvel movie?...

This ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Deleted Scene Is A Mutant Mall Montage By Jacob Hall/Sept. 12, 2016 8:30 am EST In a summer filled with high profile duds, X-Men: Apocalypse reigns supreme. At least Independence Day: Resurgence was audacious and insane and totally bonkers. At least Suicide Squad was bad in ways that generate great conversations. Bryan Singer’s fourth X-Men movie, and the eighth film in the franchise overall, is the kind of movie that takes two and a half hours of your time and exits your brain while you’re still watching it....

VOTD: How ‘Wonder Woman’ Should Have Ended By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 14, 2017 6:00 am EST With $410.6 million at the domestic box office, Wonder Woman is not only the highest grossing film of the summer, but it’s the second highest grossing film of 2017, coming in behind Disney’s remake of Beauty and the Beast. While we wait for Wonder Woman to hit Blu-ray and DVD next week on September 19 (it’s already available for digital download), the money is still pulling in some cash at the box office....

Watch ‘The Mummy’ Trailer All Too Easily Turned Into A ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movie By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 7, 2016 6:00 am EST Earlier this week, the teaser trailer for Universal’s latest attempt to remake The Mummy hit the web. Tom Cruise stars in next summer’s blockbuster that puts a female Mummy at the center of the horror action adventure reboot, and his presence combined with the overall style of the movie gave many the feeling that this was just another Mission: Impossible movie....

‘12 Strong’ Trailer: Chris Hemsworth Hunts The Taliban In The Aftermath Of 9/11 By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 19, 2017 7:21 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Though fans are gearing up to see Chris Hemsworth take on Hulk in the upcoming Marvel Studios sequel Thor: Ragnarok, he’ll be taking on a much more realistic threat in an upcoming war drama arriving early in 2018. 12 Strong, formerly known as Horse Soldiers, finds Chris Hemsworth as part of a U....

‘Aladdin’ Will Feature Two Songs From ‘La La Land’ And ‘The Greatest Showman’ Songwriting Duo By Ben Pearson/March 5, 2018 5:00 pm EST Benj Pasek and Justin Paul won an Oscar last year for writing La La Land’s “City of Stars,” and they were nominated at last night’s Academy Awards ceremony for their work on The Greatest Showman soundtrack. Though they went home empty-handed last night, losing to Coco’s Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Pasek and Paul revealed one heck of a consolation prize: they’ve written two brand new songs for Guy Ritchie’s upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s Aladdin....

‘Alien: Covenant’ Prologue Reveals The Fate Of The Survivors Of ‘Prometheus’ By Jack Giroux/April 26, 2017 1:30 pm EST At the end of Prometheus, Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) either makes a very brave or very foolish decision. After the doctor’s search for humanity’s creators goes horribly wrong, leaving most of the Prometheus crew dead, she continues to seek answers. Based on Shaw’s lack of presence in the promotional materials for Alien: Covenant, her minimal role in the film, and the fact she’s with David (Michael Fassbender), we’re presuming her post-Prometheus mission doesn’t go so well....

‘Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy’ Was Originally An Insane Survival Story By Jack Giroux/June 20, 2017 4:30 pm EST Ron Burgundy and the Channell 4 News Team turned to cannibalism an early draft of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. As wonderfully outlandish Adam McKay’s comedy it, it was initially a little crazier. Ron, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and the rest of the team once had to find their way down a mountain side, as they battled deadly orangutans....

‘Aquaman’ Knows What’s Up, Will Use The ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Stunt Team By Jacob Hall/Jan. 2, 2017 8:30 am EST One of my go-to “drunk in a bar and feeling shouty” conversation subjects is the lack of respect for stunt coordinators and the bruised, battered, and fearless men and women working with them. After all, these are people who put their personal safety on the line to bring movies to life and they don’t even have a category at the Academy Awards (something that has not gone unnoticed)....

‘Better Call Saul’: Gus Fring’s Back… In A Los Pollos Hermanos Commercial By Angie Han/Jan. 11, 2017 11:30 am EST It’s not like we really need to be convinced to tune in for Better Call Saul season three. The superb first two seasons are reason enough to return for another helping. But just in case you’d like something to whet your appetite, AMC’s cooked up a fun little promo — not for Better Call Saul, exactly, but for Los Pollos Hermanos....

‘Death Note’ Early Buzz: A Thoughtless And Lazy Adaptation Of The Acclaimed Manga By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 21, 2017 1:30 pm EST Check out what some of the early Death Note reviews have to say below. First up, for those who aren’t familiar with Death Note, you can watch the trailer here, or just read the official synopsis: Based on the manga by writer Tsugmi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata, which has been previously adapted into live-action movies and shows, video games, and even a musical, Wingard’s film stars Nat Wolff (Paper Towns), Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man), Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers), Lakeith Stansfield (Get Out), Masi Oka (Heroes), and Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire)....

‘Justice League’ Trailer: The DC Heroes Unite To Fight A New Enemy [Comic-Con 2017] By Ethan Anderton/July 22, 2017 12:46 pm EST With Warner Bros. Pictures having one of the biggest panels of San Diego Comic-Con, fans just knew they were going to drop a new look at Justice League.

‘Lion’ Trailer: Dev Patel Searches For His Long Lost Family By Jack Giroux/Aug. 26, 2016 6:30 am EST Producer Harvey Weinstein sees awards potential in Lion, one of the two contenders he’s betting on this fall. The other awards hopeful film coming from TWC, in Harvey Weinstein’s eyes, is The Founder, based on the life of Ray Kroc. While that biopic is about a man driven by greed, Lion is a more kind-hearted and inspiring tale, about a man (Dev Patel) searching for his family....

‘Mile 22’ Review: Action Movies Don’t Get More Incoherent And Exhausting Than This By Josh Spiegel/Aug. 16, 2018 7:00 am EST The good news about the new Peter Berg/Mark Wahlberg action movie Mile 22 is that it’s moderately short, clocking in at barely over an hour and a half. The bad news is that Mile 22 still isn’t short enough. Mile 22 goes in the same category as the recent Sicario: Day of the Soldado; it’s an often repugnant and obnoxious exercise in faux-cinema verite style that serves to beat down its audience into submission as opposed to being entertaining....
