‘Cars 3’ Trailer: Lightning McQueen Is Back For The Third Lap By Jacob Hall/Jan. 9, 2017 6:35 pm EST The Cars movies have always been the redheaded stepchildren of the Pixar family. Compared to the likes of Toy Story, Up, Inside Out, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille, these anthropomorphic cars and their baffling world have always stood on the fringes, appealing the young children in the family while the studio’s other movies tend to win over just about everyone....

‘Castle Rock’ Trailer: The Stephen King Multiverse Arrives On Hulu This Month By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 10, 2018 10:30 am EST Get ready to run through some Stephen King easter eggs, constant readers. The latest Castle Rock trailer is chock full of references to the acclaimed author’s most famous (and more obscure) stories, which makes sense for a Hulu horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse. It will be fun to tick off every reference to It, Cujo, or The Shawshank Redemption — or at least take a shot every time you see one....

‘Justice League’ Cast List Confirms A Villain’s Return And A Certain ‘Wonder Woman’ Character By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 23, 2016 1:00 pm EST Since we’re coming to the end of 2016, movie studios are starting to push a preview of what’s in store for the big screen in 2017, especially on the blockbuster front. It’s going to be another crowded summer, but one of the more anticipated movies of the year won’t be arriving until this fall, and that’s Justice League....

‘Peter Rabbit’ Trailer: Domhnall Gleeson Vs. Cartoons By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 7, 2017 2:00 pm EST If you’ve longed for the day when Domhnall Gleeson does battle with a horde of cartoon animals, you’re in luck! In Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter’s storybook classic comes to life, sort of, in a modern setting. James Corden voices the eponymous rabbit, leading a cast of CGI animals in a film full of pratfalls and sight gags....

‘Saturday Night Live’ Sets March 2018 Hosts, Including The Return Of Bill Hader And Charles Barkley By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 20, 2018 1:30 pm EST Saturday Night Live is in the middle of a break while NBC’s programming is dominated by Olympics coverage day in and day out. But they’ll be making a return in the first week of March with three shows in a row, featuring three interesting hosts, and three eclectic musical guests....

‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ Reveals More About Luke Skywalker’s Journey To The Jedi Temple On Ahch-To By Hoai-Tran Bui/Nov. 14, 2017 11:00 am EST Ahch-To may have you thinking back to a certain recurring joke in Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood: Men in Tights, but the oddly-named planet is crucial to Star Wars lore and the plot of the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It’s where Jedi Master Luke Skywalker finds himself in self-exile, and where the aspiring Jedi Rey finds Luke at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens....

‘The Mist’ Trailer: Stephen King’s Great Novella Heads To Television By Jacob Hall/May 8, 2017 11:30 am EST While it has developed a faithful following over the past decade, Frank Darabont’s 2007 movie The Mist was a box office disappointment upon release. However, our relationship with gnarly horror stories has undergone a significant makeover since that (really, really good) Stephen King adaptation…and Darabont himself helped oversee that transition. While his divorce from AMC’s The Walking Dead remains an open wound for all parties involved, there’s no denying that he’s responsible for bringing modern horror to the small screen by having faith in a zombie TV show back when that sounded like a crazy idea....

‘Unlocked’ Trailer: Noomi Rapace And Orlando Bloom Go Full Jack Bauer By Jacob Hall/Feb. 12, 2017 12:00 pm EST I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Unlocked was originally conceived over a decade ago – the trailer feels like something we’d be seeing in theaters around 2004 or so, at the height of Hollywood’s attempt to come to grips with the events of September 11, 2001. You have a heroic CIA interrogator (which has become something of an oxymoron) battling Islamic terrorists to prevent a biological attack in London....

‘Wonder Woman 2’ Release Date Moved Up; Gal Gadot Confirmed To Return By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 13, 2017 12:25 pm EST Gadot’s official return contrasts with recent statements from the actress. Just the other day came a rumor that Gadot would refuse to return for Wonder Woman 2 if producer Brett Ratner’s RatPac-Dune Entertainment was still involved with the project. RatPac-Dune Entertainment helped produce the first Wonder Woman, but since then, Ratner has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, and Warner Bros....

Amy Poehler And Nick Offerman Reunite With NBC To Host ‘The Handmade Project’ By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 29, 2017 2:00 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Leslie and Ron are back together again! Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are planning to fill the hole in our hearts left by the Parks and Recreation finale (I know it was two years ago, I’m still not over it!...

LOL: ‘The Batman’ Star Joe Manganiello Also Wants Anna Kendrick To Play Robin By Angie Han/Oct. 18, 2016 5:30 am EST Ben Affleck seemed deeply skeptical when Anna Kendrick (jokingly) demanded he cast her as Robin in his solo Batman movie. But she’s got the support of at least one of Affleck’s The Batman co-stars. Joe Manganiello, who’ll play the villain Deathstroke, is throwing his weight behind the “Anna Kendrick for Robin” campaign on social media....

Next year’s Captain Marvel will be a breath of fresh air after years of heroes played by white guys named Chris, but she — and the rest of the Marvel women — remain severely outnumbered....

Quentin Tarantino’s F-King ‘Star Trek’ Movie Beams Up A Writer [Updated] By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 21, 2017 3:05 pm EST Update: Deadline has confirmed that Mark L. Smith will write Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek movie. This story is strange for many reasons, but it’s especially strange since Tarantino has always penned his own projects.

Reboots Of ‘Ace Ventura’, ‘Young Guns’, ‘Major League’, And More In The Works By Ben Pearson/Oct. 26, 2017 4:30 pm EST Morgan Creek Productions is no more. The company has been rebranded and is now officially called Morgan Creek Entertainment Group, and they’re digging into their library of films to “exploit across multiple platforms” titles like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Young Guns, Major League, Pacific Heights, Diabolique, Clive Barker’s Nightbreed, and David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers....

The Morning Watch: Christmas Edition - SNL’s Hallmark Movies, Star Wars Light Display & More By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 22, 2017 5:00 am EST The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web.
