The Kingpin actor admits, however, it’s “pretty much been said it’s not going to happen,” or at least not for a long, long time....

VOTD: Daft Punk’s ‘TRON Legacy’ Score Makes ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture’ Way Better By Ethan Anderton/May 18, 2017 6:00 am EST Star Trek: The Motion Picture was quite the disappointment when it hit theaters in 1979, even for the most hardcore Trekkies out there. It’s a sci-fi slog that was nowhere near as satisfying of a leap from TV to film as many had hoped. Thankfully, it was followed by Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, and that rescued the film franchise and got fans back on board....

‘Pacific Rim Uprising’ TV Spot: The Monsters Are Bigger And So Are The Fights By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 22, 2018 7:00 am EST The premise of Pacific Rim Uprising feels like the sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s gleeful mecha-anime homage is saying, “Anything you can do, I can do bigger and with more bombast.” And the latest extended TV spot only serves to hammer that in, with the movie promising the biggest Kaiju we’ve seen yet....

‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 Will Be Darker And ‘Very, Very Disturbing’ By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 8, 2017 12:30 pm EST True to the Halloween release of Stranger Things season 2, the new season will be “darker and more eerie” than the first season of Netflix’s surprise genre TV hit. The hints at a darker season 2 will keep coming — I’m pretty sure this is the 10,000th time I’ve heard it called “darker” — but it wasn’t until now that the cast and crew of the ’80s-set horror show specified that much of that dark stuff happens to a specific character....

The ones you’d probably want to go to are the “Swedish Dicks,” an ex-stuntman (Peter Stormare) and a DJ (Johan Glans) with a dream.

The Darkest Minds Trailer It’s clear that this adaptation of author Alexandra Bracken’s book series is heavily inspired by Marvel’s X-Men, both in the way it uses emerging superpowers as a metaphor for puberty and in how a plot point seems to be directly lifted from the same studio’s Logan: oppressed kids must fight against the odds and find a safe haven where they can live out their lives in peace....

By Fred Topel/Aug. 8, 2017 12:45 pm EST “Elena Satine comes in in the second episode,” Nix said. “She plays a character called Dreamer, who’s from the comics.
