VOTD: ‘Blade Runner 2049’ VFX Reel Reveals The Creation Of Future Los Angeles By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 26, 2017 1:00 pm EST It’s unfortunate that Blade Runner 2049 bombed at the box office this summer, especially since it’s one of the most thoughtful and gorgeous blockbusters we’ve seen in years. But that doesn’t mean those of us who took the time to see the movie can’t still marvel at the incredible work that went into bringing Ridley Scott’s sci-fi noir universe to life again....

Pictures hoped. The sci-fi blockbuster pulled in $100 million at the domestic box office with another $270 coming from the rest of the world for a total of $370 million, which isn’t bad for a movie on a budget of $178 million, but it wasn’t a runaway hit....

‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ Will Take A Page Out Of The ‘Aliens’ Playbook By Angie Han/Oct. 21, 2016 3:40 pm EST The John Wick: Chapter 2 trailer released earlier this month promised more of everything we loved about the first John Wick: intense action, stylish visuals, and Keanu Reeves being an all-around badass. But that doesn’t mean we should just expect a retread of the last film, stresses Chad Stahelski. The director suggests he’s taken a page out of the Aliens playbook by going in a different direction with the sequel....

Brendan Fraser Joins DC Universe’s ‘Doom Patrol’ As Robotman By Hoai-Tran Bui/Aug. 22, 2018 6:30 am EST In Brendan Fraser’s 26-year career, you’d think the formerly floppy-haired dreamboat would have played a superhero by now. He’s swung shirtless through jungles and battled mummies, but now he gets to don the (proverbial) tights and cape to become a real superhero in DC Universe’s oddball TV series, Doom Patrol. And with the Fraser-ssance in full swing, it couldn’t come soon enough....

Duncan Jones’ ‘Mute’ Will Get Netflix Release By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 29, 2016 11:00 am EST Duncan Jones’ Mute was one of those projects I have been writing and thinking about for years, which I cynically never expected to come to fruition. Kind of like Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds or Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. I’m so excited that Mute is finally filming and we’ll be able to see the science fiction noir soon....

Jeff Goldblum Dishes On His Return As Ian Malcolm In ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 24, 2017 12:00 pm EST If you ever ask Jeff Goldblum a question expecting a straight answer, well, you haven’t seen any of the Thor: Ragnarok marketing which revolves around the mile-a-minute talker giving dramatic readings of Twitter questions and getting hilariously sidetracked. So when I say he gives more details about his return as the famously bare-chested mathematician Ian Malcolm in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, I mean details in the loosest way....
