Ryan Reynolds To Star In ‘Clue’ Remake From ‘Deadpool’ Writers By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 23, 2018 7:30 am EST The Deadpool star has signed a big three-year first look deal with 20th Century Fox, and the first film he’s set his sights on is a new take on Clue, the classic murder mystery board game that was previously adapted into a comedy in 1985. Reynolds is expected to star in the film as well as produce, although there’s no indication which now-iconic character he’ll be playing....

Superhero Bits: Green Lantern Comic Reboot, Batman Coming To Gotham, She-Venom & More By Ethan Anderton/July 12, 2017 5:00 pm EST Will Batman ever make his debut on Gotham? How many days did the initial Spider-Man: Homecoming writers have to write their pitch for Marvel? Are you ready for a Green Lantern reboot from DC Comics? Do you want to get your genes tested at San Diego Comic-Con as a promotion for The Gifted?...

VOTD: Did You Catch All These ‘Logan’ Easter Eggs & References? By Ethan Anderton/March 7, 2017 6:00 am EST It should come as no surprise that Logan dominated the box office this past weekend. Even with its R-rating, the last outing for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine pulled in $88.4 million, making it the largest R-rated March debut ever. But the movie packs a powerful emotional punch, and while it’s just as good as all the reviews have been saying I’m not sure it’s the kind of movie I’m prepared to enthusiastically watch for a second time so soon....

VOTD: Harrison Ford Surprises Alden Ehrenreich During ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Press Tour By Ethan Anderton/May 14, 2018 6:00 am EST Last week at the premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story there was no sign of Harrison Ford. Since the actor was finally given the opportunity to walk away from Star Wars after the death of Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you can hardly blame him for wanting to stay away from the hordes of fans who go crazy whenever he shows up....

‘Bright’ Sequel Already Ordered At Netflix By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 20, 2017 1:21 pm EST Audiences haven’t seen Bright yet, but no matter: Netflix is already committed to a Bright sequel. The streaming giant already has plans to make a follow-up to their upcoming Will Smith fantasy-action flick, a cop drama set in a world of orcs, fairies and other magical creatures. Does anyone really want this? Bright, the David Ayer-directed, Max Landis-scripted, Will Smith-starring fantasy-action-comedy-thing, will be hitting Netflix at the end of the week....

‘Get Shorty’ Trailer: Chris O’Dowd Goes To Hollywood By Jack Giroux/May 26, 2017 6:30 am EST Below, watch the Get Shorty trailer. Chris O’Dowd (The IT Crowd) isn’t playing Leonard’s famous ultra-cool hero, Chili Palmer, but instead Miles Daly, a hitman from Nevada, not Florida. There’s also no Harry Simms in Davey Holmes’ (Shameless) Epix series, either, although it does have another producer of garbage movies nobody sees named Rick Moreweather (Ray Romano), whose spiky hair calls to mind Brian Grazer....

‘Ghost Stories’ Trailer: Martin Freeman Leads A Trio Of Spooky Stories By Jacob Hall/Oct. 30, 2017 4:30 pm EST From the ’60s output of Hammer and Amicus to Danny Boyle’s reinvention of the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, the United Kingdom has always been a dependable source of thrills and chills. There’s just something special about horror movies with an English accent. Now, a new movie called Ghost Stories looks to add its name to the nation’s line-up of must-see genre movies and all of the right pieces seem to be here: creepy stories, a wry tone, and the presence of strong actors like Martin Freeman to lend credibility to the whole thing....

‘Judge Dredd’ TV Show Script Is Finished, First Two Seasons Planned Out By Ben Pearson/July 23, 2018 4:00 pm EST We may never see comic book character Judge Dredd in a film sequel to 2012’s underperforming-but-instant-cult-favorite Dredd, but fans are now one step closer to seeing him take the law into his own hands on the small screen. The Judge Dredd TV show, entitled Judge Dredd: Mega-City One, now has a completed pilot script, and the writers have charted out the first two seasons in the event it gets picked up as a series....

‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ TV Spot Unleashes New Footage By Chris Evangelista/May 17, 2018 6:30 am EST A new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom TV spot just roared its way online, bringing with it some new footage of the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World sequel. You can watch the new TV spot, plus a fairly amusing new College Humor video featuring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, below. Fallen Kingdom TV Spot Avengers: Infinity War is out....

‘Moana’ Clip: Dwayne Johnson Is A Hero To All By Angie Han/Oct. 17, 2016 7:37 am EST Disney’s Moana is inspired by many things, like the rich mythology of ancient Oceania and the irresistible charisma of Dwayne Johnson. The first Moana clip leans on both, as Maui (Johnson) meets Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) for the first time and teaches her how to make a proper introduction. Turns out the guy is very particular about his titles....

‘Monster Trucks’ Is Like ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ With Trucks, Says Lucas Till [TCA 2016] By Fred Topel/Aug. 18, 2016 8:00 am EST Lucas Till was part of CBS’s MacGyver panel for the Television Critics Association. As the new lead, he was excited to talk about being Angus MacGyver. Before the series, Till filmed a role in the Monster Trucks movie and he was just as enthusiastic about that. Speaking with reporters after the MacGyver panel, Till described the film’s unique take on the title vehicles, which in real life refer to trucks that perform in stadium arenas....

‘My Cousin Rachel’ Trailer: Rachel Weisz And Sam Claflin Navigate Romance, Revenge, Period Costumes By Jacob Hall/Jan. 25, 2017 4:30 pm EST I’d be lying if I said I was familiar with the work of Daphne du Maurier, the English author and playwright who wrote the book upon which director Roger Michell’s new film My Cousin Rachel is based. However, I am familiar with several film adaptations of her work and it’s quite the track record – her novels and stories have been adapted by master filmmakers like Alfred Hitchcock (the Best Picture-winning Rebecca, the under-seen Jamaica Inn, and the bonafide horror classic The Birds) and Nicolas Roeg (the endlessly creepy Don’t Look Now)....

‘Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’ Trailer: Jack Is Back By Angie Han/March 2, 2017 6:34 am EST Captain Jack is back. Disney has just unveiled the first full Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales trailer — and unlike the teaser trailer or the Super Bowl spot, which barely showed Johnny Depp at all, there’s plenty of him in this one. There’s even a younger version of Jack floating around, in case you don’t like him in his present state....

‘Smurfs: The Lost Village’ Teaser Trailer: The Little Blue Creatures Return For A Fully Animated Adventure By Angie Han/Sept. 21, 2016 7:30 am EST The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2 were box office hits, if not exactly critical darlings, but the tiny blue creatures are headed in a different direction for their next big screen outing. Smurfs: The Lost Village is ditching the live-action component of the last two films, and instead will be a fully animated CG adventure about Smurfette (voiced by Demi Lovato) setting out to find her purpose in life....

‘The Leftovers’ Third And Final Season To Premiere Spring 2017 On HBO By Jack Giroux/Dec. 6, 2016 1:30 pm EST The third and final season of The Leftovers is only four months away. While season one of co-creator Damon Lindelof’s drama polarized viewers, season two received much more acclaim, and rightfully so. The second chapter of the Tom Perrota adaptation took the series to trippier, funnier, and more dramatic places. Season two concluded on an incredibly cathartic note, but there’s more than likely plenty of struggles left ahead for the Garveys and the Murphys....

‘Westworld’ Season 2 Finale Ratings Were Down 30% Compared To Season 1 By Chris Evangelista/June 27, 2018 3:30 pm EST Audiences apparently weren’t in the mood to bring themselves back online to watch the Westworld season 2 finale. A new report indicates that 30% fewer viewers watched the season 2 finale compared to season 1. Where did the audience go? Perhaps they escaped to the Valley Beyond. Westworld season 2 was clearly polarizing for many fans....

Edgar Wright Is Working On A Documentary About The Pop Rock Band Sparks By Ethan Anderton/June 22, 2018 2:30 pm EST Last year Edgar Wright got us tapping our toes and gripping our seats in the fast-paced, music-infused heist thriller Baby Driver. We’re not sure exactly what the filmmaker’s next project will be, but we now have word on something the Shaun of the Dead director is working on right now, and it’s a kind of project we haven’t seen him tackle before....

Exclusive ‘Hostiles’ Clip Goes Behind-The-Scenes Of The Grim Revisionist Western By Chris Evangelista/April 20, 2018 8:30 am EST In anticipation of the Blu-ray and digital release of Scott Cooper’s brutal Western Hostiles, we have an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip that looks at the film’s harsh landscapes. See the Hostiles clip below. Hostiles didn’t make much of a blip during its theatrical run last year, but now the film is about to hit Blu-ray and digital....

George R.R. Martin Reads The Letter He Wrote To Marvel, Sparking His Writing Career By Ethan Anderton/May 1, 2017 6:00 am EST Today we know George R.R. Martin as the man who created the sprawling, epic, fantasy world of Westeros for Game of Thrones. The author is currently working on the sixth book in his series A Song of Ice and Fire, on which the HBO series is based, but a little while back, he took some time to do some interview segments for History Channel’s new documentary series Superheroes Decoded, which premiered last night....

Harrison Ford Will Answer The ‘Call Of The Wild’ By Chris Evangelista/July 16, 2018 2:30 pm EST Harrison Ford has some free time on his hands now that Indiana Jones 5 has been bumped back to 2021. As a result, the grumpy actor prone to occasionally crashing his private plane has decided to take a role in another film: Call of the Wild. The Jack London adaptation will find Ford playing a grizzled prospector....
