By Jacob Hall/Jan. 19, 2017 9:00 am EST This news arrives many months after it was first revealed that Gaiman was working on a miniseries adaptation of the 1990 book that he co-wrote with fellow fantasy novelist Pratchett, who passed away in 2015. The original novel is a blast, a joyfully blasphemous satire about the end of the world and the demon and angel who step in to prevent the apocalypse because they like living on Earth, thank you very much....

Video: Take A Look Inside The Rogue One Creature Shop By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 5, 2016 6:30 am EST We are ten days away from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hitting theaters and it already feels like the marketing for this film is reaching a fever pitch. Disney has released another featurette, this one focusing on the aliens and creatures featured in the first Star Wars anthology film. While the marketing for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was so laser-focused on convincing fans that this was a return to practical effects, locations, and creatures, we haven’t seen much of this angle for Rogue One....

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Adds ‘Kong’ And ‘Planet Of The Apes’ Mo-Cap Performer As A Villain By Jacob Hall/March 10, 2017 10:30 am EST Just when you thought Avengers: Infinity War didn’t have any more room for cool actors, Terry Notary has to come out and say that he has a role in it. You probably don’t know his face, but you’ve seen his work before. As a stunt coordinator, movement coach, and motion capture performer, he has lent his talents to some of the biggest genre movies of the past decade....

Written and directed by Pearce, the film revolves around a secret hospital in near-future Los Angeles that caters to the criminal element. Under control of The Nurse (Jodie Foster), it has a strict set of rules that forbid killing, weapons, and other violence....

‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Won’t Feature Any Running In Heels By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 9, 2018 8:30 am EST Bryce Dallas Howard is letting her hair down (so to speak) and putting her heels away for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Howard’s character Claire was at the center of much hoopla when Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World hit theaters in 2015 — with many incredulous at the prospect of a woman running away from giant prehistoric reptiles while wearing stiletto heels in the jungle....

‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ Red Band Trailer: Time For Some Culture Shock By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 20, 2017 6:46 am EST Everyone’s bleeding in red, white, and blue in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. The over-the-top, gratuitous violence that we knew and loved in 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service is back and raring to go in the new red band trailer for its sequel, which sees Taron Egerton return as Eggsy, who clashes with crass American Statesman, lead by Channing Tatum and Pedro Pascal....

‘Scorched Earth’ Trailer: Gina Carano Is A Post-Apocalyptic Bounty Hunter By Jacob Hall/Jan. 1, 2018 8:00 am EST Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. A grizzled badass without a lot to say wanders the wasteland of the post-apocalypse, dispensing justice against armies of bandits and slowly learning to care again after encountering someone who melts their icy heart. That’s the premise of many movies and it is also the premise of Scorched Earth, an upcoming sci-fi action movie that looks like it crawled out of a mid-’90s VHS bargain bin....

‘Security’ Trailer: Antonio Banderas Gets His Own ‘Die Hard’ In A Mall By Ben Pearson/June 10, 2017 12:00 pm EST Antonio Banderas seems to have followed guys like Steven Seagal and Bruce Willis into the kind of direct-to-video movies that even cinephiles used to pick up from a Blockbuster Video shelf and wonder, “what the heck is this?” It’s hard to blame him – the guy’s gotta work, and if this is the only way he can do that, there are some larger issues at play here – but I’m still a little crestfallen to see him in something like Security, a new action thriller that looks like a cross between Die Hard and Paul Blart: Mall Cop....

‘Smallfoot’ Trailer: Channing Tatum Is A Yeti Who Falls Down A Lot By Chris Evangelista/April 25, 2018 9:30 am EST Hello, everyone. I’d like to introduce you to the family film Smallfoot. It’s about a Yeti who goes on a quest to discover if humans really exist. Sounds cute, right? Also, it stars Channing Tatum. But don’t get too excited: you won’t be seeing his abs and dancing skills. Because this film is animated....

Star Wars The Last Jedi TV Spot There are two moments really worth examining. First, there’s the shot of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) in his X-Wing, watching with horror as something huge explodes. We know that there is a massive space battle early in The Last Jedi, one that routs the Resistance forces and gives The First Order an upper hand over our heroes (Johnson is definitely following the Empire Strikes Back playbook here)....

‘Tau’ Trailer: Gary Oldman Voices A Smart House In The Netflix Sci-Fi Thriller By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 19, 2018 1:30 pm EST Netflix has become a new hub for sci-fi thrillers, and it looks like its latest film is one to watch out for. Tau is a brutal, horror-tinged thriller starring Gary Oldman as an AI house that terrorizes its inhabitants in a horrifying game of cat and mouse. And while the Oscar winner doesn’t appear on screen himself, his voice is chilling enough....

It sounds like reactions to the trailer have Universal questioning whether it would have successfully opened up against the likes of Creed II, Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 and Robin Hood, because they’re pushing back the release date a month....

Apple’s ‘Foundation’ TV Series Is Actually Happening By Chris Evangelista/Aug. 23, 2018 2:00 pm EST Apple is moving forward with their previously-announced Foundation TV series.

Director Augustine Frizzell Wants To Make ‘Stoned Alone’ An “Emotionally Well-Balanced Christmas Film” [Exclusive] By Jack Giroux/Aug. 7, 2018 12:30 pm EST The recently announced Home Alone riff, Stoned Alone, is in good hands with director Augustine Frizzell. Frizzell’s feature directorial debut debut, Never Goin’ Back, is an acclaimed and wonderful A24 release that should raise expectations for 20th Century Fox’s R-rated, Ryan Reynolds-led stoner comedy.
