Everyone is fairly certain that the next preview will be attached to Marvel’s Doctor Strange, which is set to open on November 4, 2016, because Disney is really, really good at that whole “corporate synergy” thing....

One of those movies is War for the Planet of the Apes, which begs to not only be seen, but is good enough to see multiple times....

Warner Bros. Made Sure ‘Justice League’ Runtime Was Under Two Hours By Ben Pearson/Nov. 7, 2017 6:30 am EST Wonder Woman has become the highest-grossing superhero origin movie of all time, and even though that movie has become a cultural touchstone for a generation of women, Warner Bros. and DC Films still have lots of work to do if they want audiences to forget the bad taste that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad left in their mouths....

By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 20, 2016 5:30 am EST This coming weekend brings the seventh season premiere of The Walking Dead, and we’ll finally get to see who Negan knocked into the next world with his signature weapon, Lucille, in the cliffhanger from last season. If you need a reminder of what’s happened over the past six years of the show, this recap is a rather entertaining way to catch up. Actually, it’s pretty entertaining even if you don’t need to catch up....

‘Empire Records’ Musical Being Developed For Broadway By Chris Evangelista/April 8, 2018 1:00 pm EST You might soon be celebrating Rex Manning Day on Broadway. Empire Records, the cult comedy that some people really love, is being developed as a musical with hopes of a Broadway run in 2020. There’s only one question: will GWAR recreate their cameo for Broadway? The 1995 comedy Empire Records is set in a record store, so it makes a certain sense to re-develop the story as a musical....

By Chris Evangelista/July 25, 2018 2:00 pm EST Hey baby, I hear the blues are calling, tossed salads and reboot shows. The latest long-gone TV series to be considered for an update is Frasier, the hit sitcom that starred Kelsey Grammer as high-brow psychiatrist Frasier Crane. Grammer is said to be fielding interest in a reboot with CBS TV Studios. If this happens, it won’t be a revival, but a full-blown reboot....

By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 29, 2017 6:30 am EST We’re just under a month from the return of Kingsman, the British secret agent organization that saved the world from a diabolical scheme involving mind control. This time there’s a new threat who strikes a crushing blow against Kingsman, leaving them without a headquarters and in desperate need of allies. That’s where Statesman comes in...

‘Logan’ Star Hugh Jackman Also Wishes Wolverine Could’ve Been An Avenger By Angie Han/Feb. 23, 2017 3:30 pm EST Still, a fan can dream. Screen Rant played the what-if game with Jackman, asking whether he’d be interested in an Avengers movie. His answer might make some of you sigh with regret: He added, “At the moment, honestly, if I really did have them there, I probably wouldn’t have said this is the last....

She’s back, in sequel form. Mary Poppins Returns resurrects everyone’s favorite supernatural nanny, with Emily Blunt taking over for Julie Andrews.

‘Mission: Impossible - Fallout’ Director Christopher McQuarrie Breaks Down The HALO Jump Sequence By Jack Giroux/July 30, 2018 9:00 am EST “A man with no fear” is how Mission: Impossible 2 director John Woo describes Tom Cruise, who laughs in the face of death with each Mission: Impossible sequel. Cruise has hung off an airplane, jumped around the Burj Khalifa, held his breath for six minutes, and flown jets and planes, all in the name of entertainment....

‘Now You See Me 3’ Conjures Up Two New Writers By Angie Han/Nov. 9, 2016 7:30 am EST The success of the first Now You See Me seemed to take everyone by surprise, but it wasn’t long before Lionsgate reacted by commissioning a second Now You See Me. And then announcing a third, before the second one even opened. Unfortunately, Now You See Me 2 failed to match the buzz of the original, and wound up taking in just $65 million at the domestic box office....

‘Preacher’ Season 2 Trailer: A Super-Powered Preacher, A Criminal, And A Vampire Look For God By Jacob Hall/June 1, 2017 11:30 am EST When AMC revealed the initial trailers for the first season of Preacher, fans of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s beloved and blasphemous comic book raised an eyebrow at the dreary tone on display. For the longest time, the network seemed to be dancing around the series’ goofier aspects, trying avoid the blend of horror, comedy, and fantasy that actually drives the plot forward in favor of selling a gritty thriller to the millions of people tuning in for The Walking Dead....

Reilly) and Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) as they venture beyond the familiar world of their video game arcade into the great unknown of the internet....

‘The Exception’ Trailer: Jai Courtney Stars In A Nazi Love Story By Ben Pearson/April 25, 2017 1:30 pm EST Maybe if I’d seen the Starz show Spartacus: War of the Damned, I’d be on board the Jai Courtney train. But aside from a halfway decent performance in the first Jack Reacher movie and the weirdness of his Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad, I haven’t seen much from the guy that warrants his level of stardom....

‘The Incredible Jessica James’ Review: Jessica Williams Sparkles In Romcom Charmer [Sundance] By Angie Han/Jan. 21, 2017 2:00 pm EST Written and directed by Jim Strouse (People Places Things), The Incredible Jessica James stars Williams as an aspiring playwright in Brooklyn, scraping together a living by teaching theater to kids. Like so many 25-year-olds, she’s both astonishingly confident and worryingly adrift — all the more so because she’s just broken up with her boyfriend, Damon (Lakeith Stanfield)....
