And no, this doesn’t look like one of those cheap television spin-offs from the 1990’s, the animation looks stylized and beautiful....

Kumail Nanjiani And John Cena Are Teaming Up For A Buddy Cop Comedy By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 27, 2017 6:00 am EST The success of a buddy cop movie not only hinges on a good script (as all movies do), but on the strength of the duo at the center of the movie. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon, Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider in The French Connection, and Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell in Tango & Cash are all prime examples of fantastic partners in justice....

We’ll explore the possible reasons why the Lupita Nyong’o Episode 8 filming has yet to begin, after the jump.

Ryan Coogler And Michael B. Jordan Reunite For Cheating Scandal Drama ‘Wrong Answer’ By Ben Pearson/June 8, 2017 2:00 pm EST Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are two of the most exciting collaborators working in Hollywood today because they’re telling stories from a perspective that doesn’t align with what the industry unfortunately considers the default (ie. stories from a white male POV). Creed, their entry into the Rocky franchise, was one of the best blockbusters of 2015, but go back and watch 2013’s Fruitvale Station for the best sense of how they approach storytelling from a unique angle....

Scott Derrickson Will Direct TNT’s ‘Snowpiercer’, Which Will Star ‘Hamilton’ Actor Daveed Diggs By Ben Pearson/May 17, 2017 1:30 pm EST For me, TNT has always been the channel I turn to when nothing else is on and I’m looking for a familiar film to serve as background noise. I mean, how many times can one network possibly air The Shawshank Redemption? My guess is they’ve set the record, and second place isn’t even close....

Steven Spielberg Explains His Love Of Nostalgia, Teases Doc Featuring His Fellow New Hollywood Legends By Ben Pearson/March 16, 2018 9:30 am EST My biggest worry about Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One was that the film might sink under the weight of the sheer number of pop culture references it needs to juggle in order to be accurate to Ernest Cline’s 2011 novel. While there are still plenty of references to be spotted, Spielberg thankfully manages to keep the film afloat amid all of its nostalgia....

American Crime Story: Hurricanes and Scandals First, American Crime Story shuffled some stories around for upcoming seasons. Hurricane Katrina was intended to come before the upcoming Gianni Versace season, but after some retooling, it is set to be the next season instead. “The next American Crime Story is our Katrina story with Sarah Paulson as the lead,” Murphy said. “We decided to do a more intimate version of that story that I think is probably much more interesting and topical....

Watch The Full “How Far I’ll Go” Sequence From ‘Moana’ By Jacob Hall/Dec. 12, 2016 12:00 pm EST I never wrote a full review of Moana, but I very much agree with the rave review published by our own Ethan Anderton. Veteran animation directors Ron Clements and John Musker have taken the Disney formula and polished it to a beautiful sheen, picking and choosing the ripest fruits from across the company’s canon and repurposing them in surprising, funny, and downright lovely ways....

‘Bloodshot’ Movie Targets Vin Diesel For The Lead Role By Jacob Hall/Jan. 8, 2018 7:00 am EST Valiant may publish some pretty terrific superhero comic books, but they’re not exactly a household name. So if Sony’s planned cinematic universe adapting these characters is going to take flight, it’s going to need a movie star. Someone fast. Maybe even someone furious. Vin Diesel is currently in talks to star in Bloodshot, one of two planned films (so far) that will kickstart the Valiant superhero movie universe....

‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 7 Images Feature Scheming And Scowling And A Big ‘Ol Dragon By Jacob Hall/May 22, 2017 2:30 pm EST A few months ago, we heard that the dragons in Game of Thrones season 7 would be the size of 747 jet airliners. Now, a batch of images from the penultimate season of HBO’s flagship series have revealed the dragons and they don’t appear to be quite as big as 747s....

‘Kaleidoscope’ Trailer: Toby Jones Leaves Clues Everywhere By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 10, 2017 4:00 pm EST Toby Jones has serious mommy issues in the eerie new Kaleidoscope trailer. In this twisty thriller from director Rupert Jones, the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy actor plays a man released from prison, trying to adjust to normal life. That proves difficult when his domineering mother arrives back in his life. Plenty of uncomfortableness follows. In Kaleidoscope, Toby Jones continues his trajectory as one of those dependable English actors who makes an impact no matter what film he’s in....

‘Space Race’ Coming From ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ Director Dan Trachtenberg By Jacob Hall/March 16, 2017 4:36 pm EST It’s been a little over a year since Dan Trachtenberg’s 10 Cloverfield Lane arrived in theaters and signaled the arrival of a very exciting new filmmaker (and it’s been a little less time since he directed one of the most frightening episodes of Black Mirror).
