‘Overlord’ Extended Preview Coming To IMAX Theaters To Promote WWII-Set Sci-Fi Horror Thriller By Ben Pearson/Aug. 23, 2018 4:00 pm EST At CinemaCon earlier this year, producer J.J. Abrams explained that Julius Avery’s upcoming movie Overlord, a sci-fi horror thriller set during World War II, is not a Cloverfield film. Abrams promised that a “proper” Cloverfield sequel is on the way, leaving us to wonder if Overlord truly is just simply a low budget, standalone thriller from Bad Robot Productions, or whether Abrams, the master manipulator, is trying to pull the wool over our eyes once again....

‘Shazam!’ First Look: Zachary Levi Sports A Classic Costume By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 27, 2018 10:58 am EST It seems like every “first look” we get of superhero movies these days are from a quickly snapped photo taken on set. The next movie on the list: Warner Bros.’ Shazam!, the solo outing for the DC Comics’ character played by Zachary Levi. And he’s wearing a curiously classic costume. The first photo leaked from the set of Shazam gives us our first peek at Zachary Levi in costume as DC’s classic hero, who boasts the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury....

‘The Lost City Of Z’ Trailer: Charlie Hunnam Looks For The Ultimate Piece Of The Human Puzzle By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 2, 2017 12:30 pm EST This has even more footage that we hadn’t seen in the previous trailers for the long-developing film from director James Gray. It’s even more ominous, and the editing does a nice job of hiding the fact that Fawcett disappeared sometime in 1925. That’s not a spoiler since the official synopsis (below) says as much, but the cutting of the trailer makes it seem as if he returns from the perilous adventure, even though that’s not the case....

First ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Clip Serves Up A Magical Treat By Angie Han/Oct. 28, 2016 3:30 pm EST As we’ve already seen in the Harry Potter movies, the wizarding world has plenty of delicious food we don’t have in the Muggle world, like butterbeer.

But no time has passed in Municiberg as the sequel picks up immediately after the final scene of the first film. However, one character that we don’t catch up with immediately is the eccentric superhero fashion designer Edna Mode (voiced by director Brad Bird), but a new video gives us a taste of what she’ll be up to in Incredibles 2....
