By Josh Spiegel/Dec. 18, 2017 2:00 pm EST Pushing the Press Around Becoming the Bad Guy? The TV/Hulu Question From “Disney’s Folly” to Disney’s Dominance It is hard to reconcile the Walt Disney Company of the early days with the one that exists now. Even when Disney unveiled Disneyland Park to the world in the summer of 1955, it was seen as a high-priced gamble, one whose flaws were broadcast on national television on its opening day....

At the time we had a few guesses as to who the Oscar-nominated actor might be playing, and Woody is speaking publicly about his upcoming role, providing some clues to his role in the second Star Wars Story....

By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 1, 2017 9:13 am EST Not only is Armie Hammer irresistibly charming in this movie, turning in what might be the best performance of his career, but we see the rise of a fine young actor in Timothée Chalamet, who gives a breakthrough performance as our main character, one that is subtle and thoughtful. And don’t sleep on Michael Stuhlbarg in this movie, who initially seems like he has a thankless role, but comes through with a moving scene towards the end of the film that we won’t spoil here....

Coco is the next original film from the most respected and critically lauded animation studio on the planet and, at the very least, it looks gorgeous....

‘Deadpool 2’ Early Buzz: Better Than The First Film In Every Way By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 11, 2018 6:30 am EST See the early social media reactions to Deadpool 2 below. Believe it or not, there are a fair few people who weren’t completely charmed by the first Deadpool. But the problems they found in the 2015 movie were nowhere to be seen in Deadpool 2, which critics called a vast improvement over the first film....

‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 7 Will Feature Dragons ‘’the Size Of 747s’’ By Jacob Hall/March 16, 2017 2:00 pm EST At the end of the first season of Game of Thrones, three tiny dragons were born and they’re so cute and you just wanted to hold them and hug them. Then the dragons grow up a bit and became dog-sized and they were still so cute and you still just wanted to hold them and hug them....

‘Green Book’ Trailer: Viggo Mortensen And Mahershala Ali Go On A Life-Changing Road Trip By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 14, 2018 7:43 am EST The idea of a road trip bringing about some kind of life-changing experience in characters is quite the cliché on the big screen. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done well. And that’s exactly what comedy director Peter Farrelly looks to be doing with his first foray into drama....

‘Joshua: Teenager Vs Superpower’ Trailer: One Teen Rallies The People Of Hong Kong By Ethan Anderton/May 1, 2017 4:30 pm EST Joshua Wong wasn’t born when Hong Kong was handed back to the Chinese government in 1997 after being under British rule and influence by western civilization. But that didn’t stop him from rallying against the Communist government for trying to take away some of Hong Kong’s autonomy that was promised in the “one country, two systems” principle that came with their return to Chinese rule....

By Ben Pearson/Nov. 13, 2017 10:33 am EST Here’s a description of the show, straight from the new press release: It’s interesting that they’re choosing The Fellowship of the Ring as a marking point. Does that mean the show could be about Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of The Hobbit? Jackson already directed three Hobbit movies – all of which paled in comparison to his previous LOTR adaptations – so it seems unlikely that someone else would come in and retread that same ground....

‘Lu Over The Wall’ Trailer: Masaaki Yuasa’s Mermaid Fantasy Sings With Joy By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 1, 2018 11:00 am EST This is not your grandma’s Little Mermaid. In fact, it’s not your Little Mermaid either. Lu Over the Wall deserves a title unto its own, as a surreal, vividly colored fairy tale that plays with the limits of imagination. But that’s to be expected from visionary animated director Masaaki Yuasa. Most recently known for his incredibly popular Netflix anime Devilman Crybaby, Yuasa is responsible for one of the best anime films ever, 2004’s Mind Game....

‘Maniac’ Teaser: Justin Theroux Wants To Cure Your Depression By Hoai-Tran Bui/Sept. 19, 2018 5:30 am EST Emma Stone and Jonah Hill play two strangers who find a world-traversing connection in Cary Fukunaga’s mind-bending Netflix series, Maniac. But how do they come to meet at the mysterious pharmaceutical trial that throws them into a surreal journey through alternate universes? A new Maniac teaser suggests that this infomercial for the depression treatment facility, Neberdine Pharmaceutical Biotech, is what attracted all these volunteers....

‘Pacific Rim Uprising’ Gets A New Release Date By Jacob Hall/Aug. 3, 2017 8:30 am EST It turns out that you’ll have to wait a little bit longer to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens star John Boyega pilot a giant robot so he can punch monsters in the face. Pacific Rim Uprising, the upcoming sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s incredibly entertaining 2013 science fiction adventure, has been pushed back. But just a little bit....

‘Rogue One’: Where Was Wedge Antilles During The Battle Of Scarif? By Angie Han/Jan. 31, 2017 9:30 am EST Darth Vader might be the most prominent returning character in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but there were a handful of more obscure ones as well, including Red Leader and Gold Leader. One who didn’t make it into the movie, though, was Wedge Antilles, despite the fact that A New Hope establishes him as being part of Red Squadron....

‘The Promise’ Trailer: Does Charlotte Le Bon Love Christian Bale Or Oscar Isaac More? By Ethan Anderton/March 2, 2017 3:30 pm EST Even though a triangle is one of the strongest geometric shapes, a love triangle makes things far less stable. It certainly doesn’t help matters any in Terry George’s new film The Promise. A young woman named Ana (Charlotte Le Bon of The Walk) strikes up a close relationship with a medical students (Oscar Isaac) while she’s still in a relationship with an American photojournalist (Christian Bale), all while war breaks out around them in the middle of the Ottoman Empire....

‘The Rhythm Section’ Halts Production After Star Blake Lively Injures Hand By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 30, 2018 9:30 am EST The Rhythm Section is temporarily halting production after star Blake Lively sustained a hand injury on set. The 2019 spy thriller, directed by Handmaid’s Tale director Reed Morano (who is definitely not making a Star Wars movie), may have to delay production for up to five months after Lively injured her hand in December and underwent an unsuccessful surgery to remedy the problem....

‘The Snowman’ International Trailer: Michael Fassbender Hunts A Grisly Serial Killer By Hoai-Tran Bui/Sept. 5, 2017 2:30 pm EST While the first official trailer for The Snowman offered a tantalizing look at Michael Fassbender’s hunt for a serial killer with a chilling trademark, the international trailer delivers even more gore and intrigue. The adaptation of Norwegian crime novelist Jo Nesbø’s novel by Swedish director Tomas Alfredson (of Let the Right One In and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy fame) promises to be more than just a typical murder mystery set in a desolate snowscape, which is beginning to become a startlingly popular genre lately....

‘Tully’ Trailer: Charlize Theron Is An Exhausted Mom Who Needs A Break By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 11, 2018 10:00 am EST We’ve seen Charlize Theron play everything from a rough-looking serial killer to the commander of a tribe of post-apocalyptic warriors to a badass secret agent. Now we’re going to see her absolutely exhausted as a mother of three children just doing her best to get by. Tully follows Charlize Theron as Marlo, a mother who barely makes it through each day, taking care of a newborn, doing laundry, cooking dinner, breast-pumping and more....
