Warner Bros.’ ‘The Flash’ Movie Loses Another Director By Angie Han/Oct. 31, 2016 2:25 pm EST It looks like Warner Bros.’ The Flash will be slowed down by its inability to hold on to a director. Dope helmer Rick Famuyiwa has just dropped out of the DC superhero project citing that old dreaded standby, “creative differences.” His departure likely delays the film’s production and, subsequently, its release. Famuyiwa is actually the second director The Flash has lost in a year — he signed on in June to replace Seth Grahame-Smith, who had departed in April....

‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ VFX Breakdown Reveals Comic Book Movie Magic By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 23, 2016 6:00 am EST Even though Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was one of the most hotly debated movies of 2016, I think we can all agree that there is some outstanding visual effects work in the movie. Not every visual effect is perfect, but I’m betting that when you see the recently release Batman v Superman visual effects breakdown that you’ll be surprised to see just how much of certain sequences was actually created in post-production....

‘Burning’ Trailer: Steven Yeun Gives A Chilling Performance In Lee Chang-Dong’s Cannes Favorite By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 17, 2018 5:00 pm EST The hottest movie at Cannes has a very appropriate title: Burning. South Korean auteur Lee Chang-dong made a huge splash at the French film festival this week with what critics are hailing as the best film to screen at Cannes. Burning stars Korean star Yoo Ah In as well as The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun in a eerily sinister performance that is sure to earn him awards buzz once the movie hits Stateside....

‘Dog Eat Dog’ Trailer: Nicolas Cage And Willem Dafoe Got A Baby To Steal In Paul Schrader’s Latest By Jack Giroux/Sept. 26, 2016 2:00 pm EST So far Paul Schrader and Nicolas Cage’s second collaboration, Dog Eat Dog, has divided critics, but they’ve still been kinder to the duo’s latest film than they were to Dying of the Light, a butchered movie that got ripped out of Schrader’s hands. That unfortunate experience for the director helped bring him and Cage to Dog Eat Dog....

‘Drone’ Trailer: Sean Bean Drops Bombs And Regrets It By Ben Pearson/April 15, 2017 10:30 am EST We often go to the movies to avoid the insanity of everyday life, so how about a movie in which a white guy drops bombs on a Middle Eastern country? Total escapism, right? Nothing topical about that at all, especially not this week! Lord of the Rings star and legendary on-screen death machine Sean Bean stars in a new film called Drone, and the movie’s jaw-dropping first trailer has arrived....

‘Hook’ Honest Trailer: Steven Spielberg’s Least Favorite Steven Spielberg Movie By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 2, 2018 6:00 am EST There have been countless adaptations of Peter Pan over the years, but undoubtedly the most beloved take on J.M. Barrie’s classic fantasy is actually a sequel from director Steven Spielberg. Hook takes the story of Peter Pan and basically forgets about the whole thing. Well, at least it makes it so that Peter Pan himself has forgotten all of his adventures in Neverland, opting to become a stressed out, grumpy business man named Peter Banning played by a totally clean shaven Robin Williams....

By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 12, 2016 2:00 pm EST The cast of Sausage Party has one of the most impressive voice casts of any animated comedy. Seth Rogen and Kristen Wiig are the leads, but the rest of the food (as well as a hygienic item and a couple humans) are brought to life by Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, Michael Cera, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Paul Rudd, Nick Kroll, David Krumholtz, Edward Norton, Salma Hayek, Anders Holm and co-directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan....

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Confirms Michael Keaton As Vulture As Zendaya Dodges Mary Jane Questions By Jacob Hall/Nov. 9, 2016 11:30 am EST I remember watching the trailers for The Avengers and seeing that shot of the Marvel’s superhero team facing down the giant flying leviathan in the streets of New York and just knowing that I was looking at the film’s climactic moments, at the final threat Iron Man and Captain America and the rest of the crew would face....

‘Star Wars Resistance’ Animated Series Won’t Have Dave Filoni Running The Ship By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 15, 2018 12:30 pm EST Star Wars Resistance is coming this fall to Disney XD. However, we still don’t know a whole lot about the series. So far we’ve only gotten a brief synopsis of the story and a small amount of artwork from the anime-inspired series. If you’re hoping to get answers from series creator Dave Filoni, he’s not ready to spill the beans yet…and he might not always be the best person to get that information from anyway....

‘The Deuce’ Season 2 Is Coming By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 19, 2017 1:30 pm EST HBO’s latest series The Deuce is relatively new, having only aired two episodes so far. It seems the reaction to those two episodes was apparently good enough for HBO, because today they announced that the show has been renewed: The Deuce season 2 is officially happening. “We are thrilled to continue our creative collaboration with master storytellers David Simon and George Pelecanos,” said Casey Bloys, President of HBO Programming, announcing the show’s renewal for a second season....

Director Patty Jenkins’ first foray into the DCEU and Wonder Woman’s (played by Gal Gadot) first solo foray onto the big screen is a runaway success, presenting an earnest and thrilling superhero movie with old-school charms that everyone seems to agree is the DCEU’s best movie yet....

By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 3, 2016 5:00 am EST This past weekend brought a bunch of new merchandise to shelves in honor of the forthcoming release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. However, one new item that debuted recently doesn’t have any ties to the first spin-off film in the Star Wars franchise, but it’s easily one of the best gizmos we’ve seen recently. This R2-D2 coffee press seems all too perfect of an item to feature on a Monday morning....
