‘Logan’ Almost Had A Jean Grey Deleted Scene, Here Is Why It Was Cut By Jack Giroux/March 10, 2017 3:30 pm EST Logan doesn’t need to say anything about the Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Jean Grey’s (Famke Janssen) relationship. It was a substantial part of the X-Men series and the character’s past, but James Mangold’s film isn’t too interested in the past or future of the X-Men franchise. The story of Logan doesn’t need to reference a relationship resolved in The Wolverine....

By Ethan Anderton/June 1, 2018 3:30 pm EST Adult Swim took a surprisingly long time to renew their massively successful animated series Rick and Morty. Back in March, we learned that complicated contract negotiations were holding up the renewal. Thankfully, those extended discussions led to the show landing an unprecedented renewal for 70 episodes. So why were these discussions so complicated? Series co-creator and executive producer Dan Harmon has finally explained it all....

‘Riverdale’ Promo: Archie And The Gang Come To Life In The CW Series By Jack Giroux/Nov. 29, 2016 12:30 pm EST Below, watch the Riverdale promo. Here’s the Riverdale promo (Source: EW): Lee Toland Krieger directed the Riverdale pilot in addition to a few of the other 23 episodes in season one. Krieger is the director behind two honest, grounded dramas, Celeste & Jesse Forever and The Vicious Kind, but the emotions get a little more played up in Riverdale, being a CW high school drama and all....

‘ROM’ Movie Secures ‘Ready Player One’ Screenwriter Zak Penn By Ben Pearson/March 26, 2018 1:30 pm EST As Ready Player One is poised to hit theaters, screenwriter Zak Penn has found a new gig: writing a ROM movie. Paramount Pictures is hard up for franchises, and they’re turning to toys to save the day: the studio is working on bringing a Hasbro Cinematic Universe to life – yes, really – and a movie based on the ROM toy (and subsequent comic series) from the late 1970s is apparently an important piece of that puzzle....

‘Sausage Party’ Featurette: Alan Menken Talks The Score And That Disney-Esque Opening Number By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 15, 2016 11:30 am EST The final numbers for this past weekend’s box office aren’t in yet, but it looks like Sausage Party will have raked in just over $33 million. That’s an impressive debut for an R-rated animated comedy, especially opening up against the second weekend of blockbuster like Suicide Squad. It appears audiences were interested in something that was truly original and went against the grain of what’s been playing on most screens all summer....

‘The Incredible Hulk’ Honest Trailer: Before Marvel Studios Had Their Universe On Auto-Pilot By Ethan Anderton/April 25, 2018 6:00 am EST This weekend brings Avengers: Infinity War to theaters, and it’s been a 10-year journey to get to his epic crossover of half a dozen comic book movie franchises. Though Marvel Studios might have the Marvel Cinematic Universe sorted out now, when they first started back in 2008, it was a bit of a mess, as evidenced by the totally forgettable and disposable events of The Incredible Hulk....

‘The LEGO Batman Movie’ TV Spot: The Brick Knight Doesn’t Do Hugs By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 7, 2017 10:00 am EST We’re just a little over a month away from the release of The LEGO Batman Movie, giving us the building block version of The Dark Knight, who stole more than a few scenes in The LEGO Movie a few years back. Will Arnett is back in the lead voice role, and quite the assembly of talent surrounds him, playing various characters from Batman’s mythology, some of which we’ve never seen on the big screen before....

‘Twin Peaks’ Season 2 Discussions Have Not Happened Yet [TCA 2017] By Fred Topel/Aug. 8, 2017 7:00 am EST Showtime has been synonymous with Twin Peaks all summer as the return of David Lynch’s surreal mystery has kept fans guessing every week. You’d think Showtime would be angling for a second season by now, 13 episodes in, but at a party for the Television Critics Association, Showtime President and CEO David Nevins told reporters he hasn’t even spoken to Lynch about it....

By Angie Han/Jan. 27, 2017 2:00 pm EST So what does this mean for Affleck’s relationship with Warner Bros.? For now, not much. The studio loves Affleck. Not only did they release his films The Town and Argo, they cast him as Batman, the crown jewel in their DC stable. Affleck’s already shot his role in Justice League and is still set to direct and star in a Batman solo film....

Bryan Cranston Will Play Himself In James Franco’s ‘The Masterpiece’ By Jacob Hall/Dec. 30, 2016 11:00 am EST James Franco is the human equivalent of the bus from Speed or the shark from that Annie Hall speech – if he stops moving, he dies. Or explodes. Or something. Only James Franco knows the mysteries of James Franco. What we do know is that he currently has 19 projects as an actor in various stages of production and 11 projects as a director in the pipeline....

Cool Stuff: Assemble The Super Robot ‘Voltron’ In LEGO Form In August By Ethan Anderton/July 2, 2018 6:00 am EST Over two years ago, we featured a LEGO Ideas project that recreated the combining super robot Voltron in building block form. The project got enough votes to be considered by the official LEGO Group for production as an official playset, and fans will soon be able to get their hands on the robot formed by five smaller lion robots....

Dwayne Johnson Will Return For ‘Fast And Furious 9’ After Squashing Beef With Vin Diesel By Ethan Anderton/April 19, 2017 10:00 am EST Late last summer, there was word that a feud had sparked between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel on the set of The Fate of the Furious. Supposedly, Johnson didn’t think that Diesel was conducting himself professionally, frequently delaying production simply because he was still relaxing in his trailer....

HBO Passed On The ‘Lord Of The Rings’ TV Series – Here’s Why By Jacob Hall/Nov. 30, 2017 1:00 pm EST If you’re hoping for a big, dramatic reason why HBO (the home of the Peakest TV of the Peak TV era) decided to not enter the Lord of the Rings business, settle down. It’s nothing too juicy. Variety reports that the network said no to Middle-earth for one simple reason: they already have Westeros....

Maisie Williams Teases Rough Times Ahead In ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 7 By Jacob Hall/Jan. 26, 2017 12:30 pm EST While Game of Thrones season 6 was home to its fair share of horror and misery, it was downright merciful compared to previous seasons, allowing many of the main characters to actually get on the path leading toward their future goals (instead of, you know, pushing them off the path with a bloody bludgeon comprised of war and intrigue)....
