Hot Summer Nights Trailer Hot Summer Nights is the directorial debut of writer/director Elijah Bynum, and even more impressive, it’s the first thing he ever directed – period. No shorts, no commercials, nothing. He wrote the script after graduating from college and it made The Black List (a list of the best unproduced screenplays of the year) back in 2013, but years went by before he found funding for the film....

‘Maniac’ Teaser Takes Jonah Hill And Emma Stone On A Pharmaceutical Trip For Netflix By Ethan Anderton/July 29, 2018 2:00 pm EST The last time Emma Stone and Jonah Hill were on the big screen together, it was in the 2007 high school comedy Superbad. Now they’re teaming up for something completely different at Netflix. Maniac is a new limited series from True Detectives season one executive producer and director Cary Fukunaga, and it follows Emma Stone and Jonah Hill as two strangers who are part of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial that will supposedly solve all their problems....

‘Nightflyers’ Teaser: Get Your First Look At The Creepy George R.R. Martin Syfy Series By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 15, 2018 12:30 pm EST When George R.R. Martin’s 1980 novella Nightflyers got its first feature film adaptation in 1987, the sci-fi film was the height of camp: low-budget, self-indulgent, and just plain weird. And though the cable network Syfy has a fair share of shows that embody exactly that kind of camp, its Nightflyers adaptation couldn’t be further from that description....

‘Resident Evil: The Final Chapter’ Trailer: Milla Jovovich Has Been Running & Killing Her Whole Life By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 19, 2016 4:00 pm EST Much like the long life of the Fast and Furious franchise, it’s hard to believe that early next year we’ll be getting the sixth film in the Resident Evil franchise. While the film series based on the video games of the same name hasn’t really found the same massive audience after starting back in 2002, there are still plenty of fans eager to see how it all ends....

‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’: Michael Giacchino Replaces Alexandre Desplat As Composer By Angie Han/Sept. 15, 2016 8:42 pm EST Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is making a last-minute switch. Michael Giacchino has just been set to score the movie, replacing the previously announced Alexandre Desplat. The reason for the change? Blame those much-talked-about reshoots. Last year, we heard that Desplat would be scoring Rogue One, making him the first composer besides John Williams to do a Star Wars movie....

‘Room’ Star Jacob Tremblay Joins Some ‘Good Boys’ For A Little R-Rated Comedy By Ethan Anderton/March 21, 2018 12:30 pm EST After breaking out in the hit drama Room, young Jacob Tremblay has become quite the popular little actor with audiences.

‘The Punisher’ Season 2 Locks And Loads Three More Cast Members By Ben Pearson/Feb. 26, 2018 11:30 am EST Looks like Frank Castle is getting some company. Marvel Television has hired three new actors to join star Jon Bernthal in the second season of the action-packed Netflix streaming series The Punisher.

‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ Season 3 Teaser & Premiere Date: Titus Does His Best Beyoncé Impression By Angie Han/Feb. 13, 2017 1:00 pm EST Netflix announced a whole bunch of upcoming release dates last week, but leave it to Titus Andromedon to be fashionably late. On the bright side, this means he gets to capitalize on the renewed buzz surrounding Beyoncé’s Lemonade following her showstopping performance at the Grammys last night — because, naturally, the first Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 3 teaser has him doing his very best knockoff rendition of “Hold Up....

‘Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets’ Trailer: Director Luc Besson Takes Us Out Of This World By Jacob Hall/March 29, 2017 6:38 am EST Even when I don’t love Luc Besson’s movies, I love that Luc Besson is making movies. I especially love that he’s getting to make another colorful, over-the-top science fiction action movie, his first of this size and scope since The Fifth Element. Valerian and the City of the Thousand Planets looks absolutely nutty in the best possible ways, with the city of Alpha looking like an ideal playground for Besson to scratch every single sci-fi itch he has left....

A ‘Roseanne’ Spinoff Without Roseanne Is Very Likely By Chris Evangelista/June 5, 2018 9:30 am EST A Roseanne spinoff that wisely omits Roseanne is all but a done deal at this point. Multiple sources report that execs and creatives are working on a way to bring the show back with almost the entire cast and crew, while omitting Roseanne Barr herself. That’s fine. A little over a week ago, ABC pulled the plug on their popular Roseanne revival after star Roseanne Barr posted a racist comment on her already-toxic Twitter account....

Could Will Smith Be The Star Of Ang Lee’s Clone Thriller ‘Gemini Man’? By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 26, 2017 11:30 am EST Gemini Man could finally germinate beyond its status as a famous script languishing in development hell. With director Ang Lee reportedly circling the project, Will Smith has expressed interest in starring in the clone assassin thriller by Skydance. This role would require him to play double — as the aging assassin trying to retire and as the younger clone on the hunt for himself....

By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 10, 2018 5:00 pm EST Robert Weiss filed the complaint (which you can read here) in Delaware federal court on Friday. The complaint alleges that Fox’s prospectus filed to the Securities and Exchange Commission after the company accepted Disney’s offer was incomplete. The complaint argues that full disclosure of this information is tantamount to the stockholders’ July 27 vote, adding, “In short, unless remedied, 21CF’s public stockholders will be forced to make a voting or appraisal decision on the Proposed Transaction without full disclosure of all material information concerning the Proposed Transaction being provided to them....

Get Your Own Still From The Next ‘Logan’ Trailer, Hope For A Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Grows By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 30, 2016 1:00 pm EST For those doing the math, with there being 24 frames per every second of film, the trailer is about 82 seconds long (nearly a minute and a half). Also, fun fact, 1974 just happens to be the year that Wolverine debuted in Marvel Comics, in an issue of The Incredible Hulk....

Hail The Goblin King: ‘Labyrinth’ Is Returning To Theaters This Spring By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 27, 2018 6:00 am EST The first week in May will be bringing Avengers: Infinity War to theaters, but before that fans can return to a wild, weird fantasy world from the mind of Jim Henson in 1986. In association with the Jim Henson Company and Sony Pictures Entertainment, Fathom Events is bringing the cult classic Labyrinth back to theaters for three days....

Martin Scorsese’s ‘Silence’ Snags December Release Date By Angie Han/Sept. 26, 2016 10:00 am EST Paramount Pictures will have one more gift waiting for us under the tree this Christmas.

MoviePass Still Thinks They Can Make Movies, Casts Bruce Willis In ‘10 Minutes Gone’ By Ben Pearson/Aug. 7, 2018 9:30 am EST Making a movie is extraordinarily difficult even under optimal conditions. But that’s not stopping MoviePass from trying to make one themselves while they’re desperately trying to avoid an all-out tailspin into financial ruin. MoviePass Films has just cast Bruce Willis in a ludicrous-sounding new thriller called 10 Minutes Gone, the newest of three MoviePass movies under the company’s subsidiary production company....

New ‘It’ Images: Pennywise The Clown Wishing You All A Happy Holiday By Jack Giroux/Dec. 26, 2016 2:00 pm EST The new, long-gestating adaptation of Stephen King’s It is currently (and finally) in post-production. Last year, the R-rated adaptation appeared in trouble after director Cary Fukunaga (True Detective) parted ways with New Line Cinema over some creative differences, which was a definite blow to the project. Director Andrés Muschietti’s (Mama) ultimately stepped in, reworked the script, and shot the horror film over the summer, and he shared plenty of images during the shoot, teasing locations and parts from the book....

Phil Lord & Chris Miller Conduct ‘Business As Usual’ In Potentially Meta Workplace Comedy Series By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 13, 2018 11:30 am EST NBC is currently working with the writing, producing and directing team of Lord & Miller on a new single-camera workplace comedy series called Business As Usual, and when you hear the logline, you just might find a parallel with some stuff going on in the real world, specifically the entertainment industry....

Thank The Maker! George Lucas Not Involved With ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Story By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 24, 2016 11:30 am EST In March, Disney announced that Steven Spielberg would be returning to direct Harrison Ford in a new Indiana Jones movie. While most of the internet was skeptical and cynical about the announcement, I was hopeful that Indiana Jones 5 could be a return to form for the beloved franchise. One of the reasons I cited was that George Lucas is not involved in this new film....
