Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Skyscraper’ Poster Is Glorious And Utterly Ridiculous By Ben Pearson/Feb. 2, 2018 12:00 pm EST Why yes, that is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson attempting to leap from a giant crane into a shattered open window of a huge building. And no, his new summer blockbuster Skyscraper is not set in the same universe as the Fast and Furious movies (that we know of). This is an entirely separate action film in which an outlandish decision like this is justified and rewarded, and I can’t wait to see if the Super Bowl trailer that’s coming this weekend lives up to the preposterous promise this poster holds....

First ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Footage Arrives In Advance Of Full Trailer Release Tomorrow By Angie Han/Dec. 7, 2016 6:54 am EST We got our first look at Tom Holland’s Spider-Man earlier this year in Captain America: Civil War, where he damn near stole the show from all the more established vets surrounding him. But next year he’ll get to take center stage for real in his first solo movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming....

M. Night Shyamalan Has Finished The ‘Unbreakable’ Sequel Outline By Jack Giroux/Feb. 6, 2017 2:30 pm EST Ten years ago, an Unbreakable sequel likely didn’t sound too realistic to fans of writer-director M. Night Shyamalan. Every once in a while, Shyamalan would mention the idea. But it’s only recently, after the huge success of Split, that another movie with David Dunn (Bruce Willis) and Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) sounded plausible....

The film, which is set in Los Angeles in 1969 against the backdrop of the Manson Family murders, has been given a 2019 release date that suggests a certain amount of confidence from Sony, who recently signed on to produce the film for the acclaimed director....

Superhero Bits: ‘Infinity War’ Set To Celine Dion’s ‘Ashes’, Making ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ Figures & More By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 24, 2018 6:00 pm EST Did a Funko POP spoil a new suit from the upcoming Spider-Man PS4 game? Are you ready for Celine Dion’s song “Ashes” laid over footage of Avengers: Infinity War? Did a featurette interview with Robert Downey Jr. spoil a certain scene in Avengers 4? How prominent will Superman be in this year’s Arrowverse crossover?...

What Stephen King Thought About ‘Stranger Things 2’ By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 9, 2017 1:00 pm EST Stranger Things owes a lot to the work of Stephen King, so it’s only natural that King would have some thoughts on it. The Master of Horror took to his Twitter to share his thoughts on the brand new season, and it’s not the first time the prolific horror writer made his thoughts on the show known....

‘All The Money In The World’ TV Spot Swaps Christopher Plummer For Kevin Spacey By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 29, 2017 6:30 am EST That was fast. Following the recent announcement that All the Money in the World director Ridley Scott would be replacing All the Money co-star Kevin Spacey with actor Christopher Plummer, we now have the first official footage of Plummer stepping into Spacey’s part via a new TV spot.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Set Video: Chris Hemsworth Has A Rehearsal With Action Figures By Ethan Anderton/June 5, 2017 12:00 pm EST Marvel Studios has churned out some great superhero movies, but one of the best things they’ve created is a short from Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi that revealed what the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) was up to while the rest of The Avengers were involved in a Civil War with Captain America....

‘Becoming Warren Buffett’ Trailer: Watch A Billionaire Enjoy A Sausage McMuffin By Jacob Hall/Jan. 23, 2017 4:00 am EST If you need a change of pace from the news headlines of late and want to take a look at an American billionaire who doesn’t inspire dread and panic in much of the world’s population, HBO’s new documentary Becoming Warren Buffett may be for you. Boasting “unprecedented access to Warren Buffett’s day-to-day personal life,” the documentary looks like a pleasant look at one of the most respected rich guys in the United States....

‘Captain Planet’ Movie In The Works From Producer Leonardo DiCaprio By Angie Han/Oct. 18, 2016 7:00 am EST Well, everything else from the ’90s is getting rebooted, so it was surely just a matter of time before we wound up here: Paramount is looking to make a Captain Planet movie, with Leonardo DiCaprio on board to produce. Also looking to get involved is Everybody Wants Some!! star Glen Powell, but not as an actor — instead, he’s in talks to write the script with Jono Matt....

‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Tracking For $18 Million-Plus Opening By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 29, 2018 1:00 pm EST Crazy Rich Asians is looking at a crazy solid opening weekend at the box office. Early tracking numbers estimate that the Jon M. Chu romantic-comedy based on the Kevin Kwan novel of the same name will open to a respectable $18 million. Not crazy rich, but not crazy terrible either. Variety reports that tracking numbers for Crazy Rich Asians show definite interest in the film at 31%, leading to early estimates of a $20 million opening for the film’s five-day launch starting Wednesday, according to Variety....

‘Deadpool 2’ Almost Made The Merc With The Mouth A Daddy By Ethan Anderton/May 8, 2018 12:30 pm EST Flashing forward five years and giving Deadpool and his girlfriend (or maybe wife) Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) a child of their own sounds like it would certainly change the dynamic of those characters. But it also seems like too drastic of a change after just one movie spent with the sarcastic assassin....

Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes will produce a live-action take on the character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors director Nick Stoller....

By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 11, 2016 9:37 am EST The film is based on Dennis Lehane’s novel of the same name, and while the Harry Potter crowd that will be full of kids might not be the best place to promote an R-rated drama like this, Fantastic Beasts is rated PG-13 and there will be plenty of adults in theaters interested in seeing something without the kids at some point. And this looks like it will be an intense period crime thriller heading for Oscar contention....

‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’s Hiatus Made It The Most Expensive ‘Mission’ Yet By Ben Pearson/July 25, 2018 3:00 pm EST Though a new entry in a well-known franchise always feels inevitable, Mission: Impossible – Fallout hasn’t had an easy path to the big screen. Early rumors suggested the movie nearly fell apart due to script issues back in 2016, and then the production hit a snag during pre-production when the producers and the studio faced off over contract disputes....

‘Passengers’ Trailer: Jennifer Lawrence And Chris Pratt Are Stranded In Space By Angie Han/Nov. 23, 2016 11:30 am EST I suspect a great many people would be perfectly happy to find themselves stranded in space with nothing to do but make out with Chris Pratt and/or Jennifer Lawrence and trade witticisms with a robot bartender who looks like Michael Sheen. But the characters in Passengers apparently don’t feel that way. In the new sci-fi romance directed by Morten Tyldum, Jim (Pratt) and Aurora (Lawrence) are panicked to realize they’ve come out of hibernation 90 years early en route to another planet....

Normally, this is the part of the post where we’d say some stuff about what the movie is and who’s in it and what the story’s about, but at this point you’re probably just skipping over all of this text anyway so you can jump right to the good stuff....
