Josh Boone has been prepping that movie. Josh is someone who is a lifelong, hardcore fan of New Mutants, and the plan is to make that movie late spring, early summer of this year, and have it come out next year....

The ‘Westworld’ Episode 3 Preview Promises More Cowboys And Robots And Sex And Death By Jacob Hall/Oct. 10, 2016 11:00 am EST HBO’s Westworld is quickly becoming my new obsession, a dense and complex science fiction tale that is full of wild ideas and chilling commentary that also manages to be…well, really, really fun to watch. It’s one thing to make a smart and scary show about the base nature of mankind, but it’s another thing altogether to also make it a surprisingly funny examination of interactive entertainment....

They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows. In this edition, Honest Trailers throws some jabs at the worst Star Wars spin-offs, such as the Star Wars Holiday Special....

VOTD: How ‘Kong: Skull Island’ Should Have Ended By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 1, 2017 5:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Right now you can bring Kong: Skull Island home to relive the adventure that brought the giant ape back to the screen in a big way. However, once you start rewatching the movie over and over again, you might start to notice some of the logical fallacies that lie within....

‘Allied’ Trailer: Brad Pitt And Marion Cotillard Get Swept Up In Romance And Intrigue During WWII By Angie Han/Oct. 5, 2016 11:30 am EST All relationships have secrets, but any problems you have with your significant other will surely pale in comparison to Brad Pitt’s issues with Marion Cotillard in the new trailer for Allied. Robert Zemeckis’ romantic thriller stars Pitt as Max, an intelligence officer who meets French resistance fighter Marianne (Cotillard) during World War II....

‘Disenchantment’ Teasers Introduce The World And Characters Of The Animated Fantasy Comedy By Ethan Anderton/July 30, 2018 4:00 pm EST Disenchantment, Netflix’s latest animated comedy from The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, made a big splash at the San Diego Comic-Con with the debut of the first trailer. However, some viewers might be looking for a little more insight into what the series will bring to the table that makes it stand out from the rest of the adult animated fare out there....

‘Game Night’ Trailer: Jason Bateman And Rachel McAdams Have A Real Bad Time By Jacob Hall/Nov. 9, 2017 10:11 am EST It’s easy to imagine the pitch meeting for Game Night, a high concept dark comedy about an evening of frivolous fun gone horrifically wrong. “What if David Fincher’s The Game starred a bunch of bumbling idiots?” Well, here you go. The first Game Night trailer is here, and I’ll be the first to admit that it made me chuckle more than a few times....

‘Mega Man’ Movie In The Works With ‘Catfish’ Directors In Final Talks To Write And Direct By Ben Pearson/July 19, 2017 11:06 am EST The Hollywood Reporter says that Joost and Schulman are in final negotiations to write and direct the new Mega Man film. I didn’t see their most recent movie, the Dave Franco/Emma Roberts thriller Nerve, but I loved the energy they brought to the Paranormal Activity sequels (especially the idea of placing a camera on a rotating fan, which led to one of the franchise’s most tense sequences)....

‘Mulan’ Director Says Disney’s Live-Action Remake Will Be A “Girly Martial Arts Extravaganza” By Ben Pearson/March 20, 2017 3:30 pm EST With Beauty and the Beast currently dominating at the box office, we’re looking ahead to one of Disney’s next live-action remakes of their animated classics: Mulan. We found out yesterday that it won’t be a musical, but the new film’s director just revealed what her version of the movie will be, and her description just might make up for the fact that we won’t be hearing “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” this time around....

‘Passengers’ TV Spot: The Universe’s Most Attractive Couple Goes To Space By Jacob Hall/Nov. 3, 2016 10:00 am EST There are several reasons I’m looking forward to Passengers, a film that I listed amongst my most anticipated movies of 2016 and broke into the top 10 on our most anticipated movies of the fall season list. The first reason is that Jon Spaihts’ screenplay has been garnering acclaim since 2007, leading me to keep an eye on this film as it almost became a Keanu Reeves vehicle....

Can a Silver Surfer Movie Work at This Point? Despite the character’s rich comic history, Silver Surfer doesn’t sound like the most exciting prospect for a new Marvel movie, at least to me. However, our own Jacob Hall informs me that there’s an excellent recent run of comics featuring the character falling in love with a woman from Earth and traversing the galaxy with her. Dan Slott wrote the series with artwork by Mike Allred, but there’s no indication that the movie will adapt those comics....

‘The Division’ Movie Enlists ‘Deadpool 2’ Director David Leitch By Jacob Hall/April 19, 2018 12:10 pm EST Every few years, another movie threatens to finally end the dreaded video game curse. And every few years, we end up disappointed again. But maybe, just maybe, The Division will be the project that finally delivers what has eluded Hollywood for so long: a good video game adaptation. First, a couple of Oscar-nominated actors joined the cast....

Reznor and Ross – The Social Network Adding Reznor and Ross into the mix makes Watchmen extra appealing. Their moody, synth-based scores are often instantly memorable, and will no doubt lend a distinct edge to the HBO series. Watchmen is “set in an alternate history where superheroes are treated as outlaws,” and is described as a show that “embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own....

Christina Hendricks Will Star In ‘The Strangers 2’ By Jack Giroux/May 12, 2017 8:30 am EST The Strangers grossed $82 million worldwide on a budget of $9 million. It’s an effective horror movie that benefits greatly from Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman’s performances. After its huge success at the box-office, it only took nine years for the sequel to happen, which was a delay caused by problems at Relativity. One of the stars of Mad Men, Lost River, and the next Brian De Palma film, Christina Hendricks, is the sequel’s lead....

Don’t Expect To See ‘Blade’ Anytime Soon By Jack Giroux/Oct. 11, 2016 4:30 pm EST Over the years, there’s been speculation, rumors, and stories about how or when we might see Blade return, but rarely is there any news confirming any movement on another Blade film. We heard about Wesley Snipes’ desire to play the daywalker again, a possible Netflix series from Marvel Studios, a rumored film about Blade’s daughter Fallon Grey, and, just the other day, Kate Beckinsale said they once discussed bringing Blade into the Underworld franchise....

Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Fast And Furious’ Role Was Originally Written For Tommy Lee Jones By Jacob Hall/Aug. 23, 2016 2:00 pm EST Over the course of seven (and soon to be eight) movies, the Fast and Furious series has built one of the strangest and most likable ensembles in Hollywood history. Once everyone settled into their roles (and it took some of them a few movies to get there), these movies stopped being all about wacky car action and started being about these characters bouncing off each other, trading barbs and blows, but also stares of deep, brotherly affection and whatnot....

First ‘Wreck-It Ralph 2’ Footage Revealed At D23 Expo 2017 By Ben Pearson/July 14, 2017 1:52 pm EST The year before Frozen took the world by storm, Walt Disney Animation released Wreck-It Ralph, one of the best video game movies that isn’t technically an adaptation of a real game. Director Rich Moore announced that he’d be co-directing a sequel with writer Phil Johnston about a year ago that’s titled Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, and the first footage of the sequel premiered at this year’s D23 Expo....

James Cromwell Joins ‘Jurassic World 2,’ Here’s Our Guess At His Role By Jacob Hall/Feb. 16, 2017 1:00 pm EST The Jurassic World sequel’s character actor casting game continues to be on point. About a week after Ted Levine joined the cast of J.A. Bayona’s untitled follow-up to Colin Trevorrow’s 2015 franchise reboot, the great James Cromwell has joined the cast. Hit the jump to learn about the Jurassic World 2 James Cromwell casting....

Joel McHale Wants Someone To Leak Star Wars Detours, More X-Files And Playing Chevy Chase [TCA 2016] By Fred Topel/Aug. 10, 2016 12:00 pm EST We got a chance to ask him about his voice work on Star Wars: Detours. Since Lucasfilm decided not to release the animated series, McHale is one of the only people who have seen it. “It was super funny,” McHale said. “You have Seth Green and his crew heading that up....
