Noah Hawley’s ‘Doctor Doom’ Movie Has A Script But Won’t Be Happening Anytime Soon By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 5, 2018 8:30 am EST When Noah Hawley announced that he was working on a Doctor Doom movie at last year’s Comic Con, it stirred up plenty of excitement among geeks who are fans of his surreal, radical take on the X-Men antihero in Legion. Hawley’s work is the perfect marriage between high-brow and high-key weird, which would deliver a fresh twist on a character who has so often been stuck as a supervillain to the Fantastic Four....

Ron Howard Reportedly Shot 70% Of ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ By Chris Evangelista/May 10, 2018 12:30 pm EST We’re getting close to the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. The film looks great and marketing is going smoothly, but still, the specter of the film’s troubled production lingers. People want to know: just how much of the film did Ron Howard shoot compared to what fired directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller filmed?...

Sundance Favorite ‘The Big Sick’ Lands Summer Release By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 14, 2017 2:30 pm EST Summer can be a difficult time for indies to get attention, but since this has the charm and comedic style of a Judd Apatow-directed comedy (he actually produced this one), it shouldn’t have a hard time finding a decent audience, especially with all the buzz from Sundance helping it along the way. In my review from Sundance, I called The Big Sick one of the “most unique and authentic romantic comedies I’ve seen in years....

Tate Taylor Replaces Original Director On Jessica Chastain Action Movie ‘Eve’ By Ben Pearson/Aug. 28, 2018 2:45 pm EST I’m not sure if anyone expected Jessica Chastain to become a full-fledged action movie star, but the actress is starting to take big strides in that direction. She has a female-centric action project called 355 in the works, she’s about to appear in the presumably action-heavy superhero movie X-Men: Dark Phoenix, and she’s gearing up to star in and produce a new action film called Eve....

It was nowhere near the amount of footage that was shown at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this summer, but it was a solid tease of the sequel that we’ll certainly see more of in the near future....

‘Batman Forever’ Honest Trailer: The Worst Movie You’ve Seen 30 Times By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 15, 2017 6:00 am EST After Batman Returns got a little too dark, gothic and kinky for parents taking their kids to see the new Batman movie, Warner Bros. dulled things down by shifting into a more ludicrous gear with Batman Forever.

‘True Memoirs Of An International Assassin’ Trailer: How Is Kevin James Mistaken For A Hitman? By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 29, 2016 8:30 am EST Since Adam Sandler has been making Netflix a little less tolerable with the presence of movies such as The Ridiculous 6 and The Do-Over, it only makes sense that his buddy Kevin James follows him over there too.

Benedict Cumberbatch Played A Second Character In ‘Doctor Strange’ And You Probably Didn’t Notice By Jack Giroux/Nov. 7, 2016 6:00 am EST Benedict Cumberbatch gives a very charismatic performance in Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange. Based on the response to the film and its opening weekend at the box-office, which exceeded projections, it’s fair to say audiences have taken quite a liking to Cumberbatch’s performance as surgeon-turned-sorcerer Stephen Strange. The titular character, however, isn’t the only role he plays in Marvel’s latest....

Bradley Cooper’s Spy Thriller ‘Matt Helm’ Enlists A Writer By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 12, 2018 4:00 pm EST Another spy movie with a surprisingly generic name is coming to the big screen.
