‘Silence’ Images: Martin Scorsese Sends Andrew Garfield To Face Persecution In Japan By Angie Han/Oct. 25, 2016 4:00 pm EST Although Paramount already has Silence locked in for a December release date, they’ve yet to release a single frame of footage to the public. That’ll surely change soon, but until then we’ve got some new Silence images to tide you over, featuring Garfield and more. The images premiered on Cinema em Cena and Yahoo Japan (via The Playlist):...

‘The Beguiled’ Trailer: Sofia Coppola Remakes Don Siegel By Jacob Hall/Feb. 8, 2017 12:00 pm EST It’s hard to imagine two filmmakers more different than Sofia Coppola and Don Siegel, but now the two of them have something in common: they have both made film adaptations of Thomas P.

Siegel’s 1971 version was his third collaboration with star Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry would arrive the same year); Coppola’s 2017 version marks her third collaboration with star Kirsten Dunst....

‘The Mummy’ Gets A 16-Bit Video Game Tie-In And It Looks Better Than The Movie By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 27, 2017 5:30 am EST There was a time when video game tie-ins for major blockbusters were a foregone conclusion. Sadly, after too many video game companies and movie studios phoned in poor video game adaptations of movies, they’ve gone by the wayside and are mostly a thing of the past. But now a new video game tie-in has come along that just might be better than the movie that inspired it....

By Ethan Anderton/July 12, 2017 9:30 am EST Watch The Tick trailer below. The spirit of both the animated series and the previous live-action adaptation of The Tick is present here, but this series iteration has more shine to it, clearly looking like it has more of a cable budget instead of the cheaper network budget that FOX gave it back in the early 2000s. Beyond that, it looks to be just as silly as fans were hoping for, lining up with a tone akin to Men in Black, which makes sense since director Barry Sonnenfeld is an executive producer on the show....

A fan once even approached David O. Russell (Three Kings), a multiple Academy Award nominee, to tell him who he thought should play the explorer and treasure hunter. Some fans have more restraint than that, and Uncharted’s new director, Shawn Levy, is aware of who those fans want to see as Nathan Drake — but that’s not going to influence his decision, as it shouldn’t....

‘Wonder Woman’ Is Banned In Lebanon Because Gal Gadot Is Israeli By Ben Pearson/May 31, 2017 12:30 pm EST Warner Bros. is riding high on a picture-perfect wave of positive early buzz for the studio’s long-awaited big screen take on Wonder Woman, but if you’ll allow the metaphor to continue, consider this latest development to be an ugly piece of driftwood floating right in the path of that sweet curl. The country of Lebanon has banned all screenings of Wonder Woman nationwide, due to the fact that star Gal Gadot is Israeli....

Here’s the synopsis: Krasinski has previously explained that the “villains” of every season will be different, so while the first season will tackle ISIS, it sounds like season 2 is heading to a different part of the world altogether....

Disneyland Adds ‘MaxPass’, A Premium FastPass Service That Will Cost Us More Money By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 11, 2017 9:45 am EST We are still probably a couple of years out from Star Wars Land’s grand opening, and Disneyland Park is still packed despite a big chunk of the park being closed for the renovations.
