However, fans of the actor will still have a chance to catch Burt Reynolds on the big screen one more time....

‘The Man Who Killed Don Quixote’ Clips Exist, Defying The Odds Of God And Man By Ben Pearson/May 11, 2018 12:30 pm EST Considering its disastrous production history, cinephiles have adopted an “I’ll believe it when I see it” attitude when it comes to Terry Gilliam’s highly troubled The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.

‘xXx: Return Of Xander Cage’ Character Posters Show A Franchise Ready To Get Fast And Furious By Jacob Hall/Oct. 31, 2016 2:00 pm EST How long has it been since you’ve watched the original xXx? Released in 2002 near the dawn of Vin Diesel’s career as one of our strangest (and most strangely lovable) action stars, it was very much a product of its time, combining ’80s action, ’90s style, and two youthful middle fingers to the James Bond franchise....

Netflix’s adaptation got off to a great start by landing Neil Patrick Harris to play Count Olaf. Harris can be both funny (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) and sinister (Gone Girl), making him a good fit for the comical but frightening antagonist....

Now he’ll be taking a significant role in the adaptation of Jack London’s classic canine wilderness survival story The Call of the Wild....

I hope by now you know all about The Disaster Artist, James Franco’s tribute to the making of The Room (one of the best worst movies of all time) and in many ways a classic Hollywood story about following your dreams.

New ‘Star Wars Rebels’ Promo Teases The Return Of Saw Gerrera By Jacob Hall/Jan. 2, 2017 7:30 am EST We’ve written before about how Rogue One: A Star Wars Story really doubles down on the interconnectedness of the new Star Wars canon, finding ways both obvious and subtle to tie the first standalone film to the larger universe. While Gareth Edwards’ film makes its exact position in the series’ timeline very clear before the credits roll, it also establishes a number of connections to the animated Star Wars television series, offering tiny easter eggs and major characters borrowed from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels....

Sony’s Spider-Man Spin-Off About Black Cat And Silver Sable Gets A Director By Ben Pearson/May 25, 2017 10:40 am EST There’s more than enough Spider-Man content to go around in Hollywood – at least that’s the mentality of Sony Pictures, who owns the cinematic rights to many of the characters within Spidey’s universe. The studio has already given a green light to a Venom movie starring Tom Hardy, and now they’ve proven they’re serious about bringing another Spider-Man spin-off to the big screen as quickly as possible....

By Chris Evangelista/April 23, 2018 2:00 pm EST This sounds like Phase 5 is the earliest we can expect the Fox-owned characters popping up in the MCU. You’ve waited this long, you can wait a little longer, right? And while we’ll have to wait for characters like the X-Men to arrive in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that doesn’t mean Kevin Feige doesn’t have a general idea about how it might eventually happen....

A Star is Born Clips As you’ll see below, what’s great about these clips is that it takes a great scene between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga and plays some of the voiceover on top of a montage of footage from the rest of the movie. It’s quite effective, and it makes me believe that all the hype surrounding this movie might be right on the money. Here’s an extended version of a scene seen in the trailer where Bradley Cooper tells Lady Gaga just how beautiful she is, even though she’s been told the opposite whenever a chance at a singing career comes along....

‘Beirut’ Trailer: Jon Hamm Tries To Save A Life By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 11, 2018 4:30 pm EST Jon Hamm and Rosamund Pike, two talented actors who deserve a lot more work, star in Beirut, a new drama from Session 9 director Brad Anderson. The first Beirut trailer offers a pulse-pounding look at the film. Jon Hamm delivered a consistently fantastic performance for years on Mad Men, and Rosamund Pike performed jaw-dropping work in Gone Girl, yet neither of these actors seem to have quite as big a career as they deserve....

Lethal Weapon Season 3 Trailer Warning: spoilers for Lethal Weapon season 2 ahead. I admittedly don’t watch this series, but Wikipedia says that Clayne Crawford’s Martin Riggs, the hot-headed maniac cop played by Mel Gibson in the film franchise, was shot in the chest at the end of the second season....

Red Sparrow Clips At the center of all of this is Jennifer Lawrence’s Dominika, who still remains much of a beguiling mystery despite her prominence in each clip, TV spot, and poster. Who is Dominika exactly? What are her intentions? Does she truly mean to become a double agent for the Americans? Even in the above featurette about Dominika’s character, all those questions remain unanswered. Here is the official synopsis for Red Sparrow:...

The Predator Trailer Nimrod Antal’s 2010 movie Predators was set in the future and took its human characters off the Earth to a planet that functioned as a game reserve, but Black has said that his film is set in the year 2018 and takes place before the events of Predators.
