‘Chance’ Trailer: Hugh Laurie Lives Dangerously In The New Hulu Series By Jack Giroux/Oct. 6, 2016 6:00 am EST Earlier this year, we saw Hugh Laurie play one hell of a menacing villain in The Night Manager. The actor played his villainous part with relish, but in his next series, he’s taking on a more well-intentioned character. Laurie stars in Chance, a new drama/thriller from Hulu that’s executive produced by Lenny Abrahamson (Room), who also directed a few episodes....

‘Downsizing’ Teaser Introduces The Cast Of Alexander Payne’s Shrunken Society By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 30, 2017 8:00 am EST Director Alexander Payne has brought us plenty of outstanding quirky dramatic comedies, ranging from the dark laughs in Election to the family struggles of Nebraska with a little bit of cynical romance in-between with Sideways. Now he’s heading into sci-fi territory with his latest film, and the first teaser has arrived online....

‘Gotti’ Trailer: John Travolta Is A Made Man By Chris Evangelista/May 3, 2018 6:30 am EST John Gotti was one of the most famous mafia bosses because unlike most other members of the mob, he embraced publicity and became a media sensation. Now Gotti’s rise and fall are chronicled in the film Gotti, starring John Travolta as the infamous “Teflon Don”. Watch the Gotti trailer below. It’s been a while since John Travolta had a chance to sink his teeth into a major role....

‘Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie’ Trailer: Jeff Garlin Investigates A Decapitation By Ethan Anderton/March 21, 2017 11:30 am EST If you’re a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan who is anxiously awaiting the ninth season that was announced last year, we have something that might hold you over, albeit without Larry David. Jeff Garlin is one of the regulars on Curb Your Enthusiasm, not to mention making a great 1980s father in The Goldbergs, and he occasionally likes to dabble in writing and directing....

‘Heathers’ TV Show Delayed Due To Parkland School Shooting By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 28, 2018 4:30 pm EST The already-controversial Heathers TV show has been delayed in the wake of the Parkland school shooting. The Paramount Network series was set to debut next week, but will now air at a later, undetermined date. You’ll have to wait a bit longer to see the Heathers TV show, if you want to see it at all....

‘Homeland’ Is Ending With Its Eighth Season [TCA 2018] By Fred Topel/Aug. 7, 2018 10:30 am EST For a few years, Homeland fans knew that future seasons were guaranteed. Even before season 6 aired, Showtime renewed it for seasons 7 and 8. With season 8 is coming next year, the decision to keep the show going or end it had to be made. Speaking in front of the Television Critics Association on Monday, Showtime CEO David Nevins announced that the decision had been made....

‘New Mutants’ Pushed To 2019, ‘Deadpool 2’ Moved Up, And ‘Gambit’ Delayed By Ben Pearson/Jan. 11, 2018 1:01 pm EST (I’m not sure I buy that logic, since everything we’ve heard indicates that those two films are totally separate stories that likely wouldn’t cause any confusion if they were in theaters simultaneously…other than people walking up to the counter and asking for “one ticket to the new X-Men movie, please” and the theater employees not knowing which movie to send them to....

‘Okja’ Trailer: The Great Bong Joon-Ho Has Made A Creature Feature For Netflix By Jacob Hall/Feb. 28, 2017 7:30 am EST It can sometimes feel impossible to keep up with the original shows and movies Netflix is debuting on their streaming platform, but aside from that (probably profitable) Adam Sandler deal, they have a habit of showing off some pretty good taste. For example, they spent $50 million so the great South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho could make his new movie, Okja....

‘Operator’ Trailer: What If Martin Starr Prefers The Siri Version Of Mae Whitman? By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 13, 2016 8:00 am EST After Her explored how artificial intelligence may become a new outlet for humans to find love, a new film that played at SXSW earlier this year feels like a kindred spirit. It’s one that’s a little more grounded in reality, but still uses technology as the catalyst for romantic confusion....

‘The X-Files’ Season 11 Behind-The-Scenes Look Teases The End By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 25, 2017 12:00 pm EST The X-Files is coming back yet again for an 11th and possibly final season. FOX brought the cult procedural show back to life last year with a limited event series, and the results were mixed at best. While season 10 had to pack everything into six episodes, season 11 will run for 10 hours, which will hopefully give the series more room to breathe....

Watch the Jimmy Kimmel Superhero Trailer Ben Affleck! Matt Damon! Zach Galifianakis! Jennifer Aniston! Jon Hamm! That’s a movie that I would see, especially when they’re playing the likes of characters like Muscle Man (“I’m a man… with muscles”) or Laser Lass (“I’m the lady one!”) in a bonkers superhero movie trailer directed by the one and only J.J. Abrams. While Affleck is starring in an upcoming comic book movie where he earnestly recruits a team of superpowered individuals to save the world, it doesn’t feel quite as…terrific as the trailer that he and Abrams debuted Monday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live....

Michael Giacchino’s Full ‘Rogue One’ Score Is Streaming Right Now By Jacob Hall/Dec. 16, 2016 8:00 am EST It’s Friday morning, which means that a lot of you went and saw Rogue One: A Star Wars Story last night. I was one of you and I liked it quite a bit. We’ll have more to talk about in the days ahead after everyone has had the chance to check it out....

Paul Verhoeven Does Not Endorse The ‘Starship Troopers’ Remake, Says It Would Fit In With A “Trump Presidency” By Jacob Hall/Nov. 16, 2016 1:00 pm EST I used to think about Starship Troopers every single day because it’s one of my favorite movies and I quote it often and I find its satiric look at a fascist future society both hilarious and chilling. It put a babyfaced Neil Patrick Harris in a Nazi SS uniform....

Rumor: ‘Sense8’ Christmas Special Coming Next Month By Angie Han/Dec. 1, 2016 6:30 am EST If Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s particular brand of gonzo sci-fi metaphysicality is up your alley (and I say that with no judgment; it is very much up mine), Netflix may have a gift waiting under the tree for you next month. It looks like a Sense8 Christmas special will be dropping just a few days before the holiday, possibly ahead of a full Sense8 season 2 release in 2017....

The ‘Deadpool 2’ Teaser Trailer Is Here, Taking Its Sweet Time By Jacob Hall/March 4, 2017 8:50 am EST If you’ve seen Logan by now, you know that the latest X-Men film comes with a fun little surprise: a teaser trailer for Deadpool 2, a sequel that hasn’t even started filming yet. Now, that trailer has arrived online, just in case you want to watch it again. To be honest, the Deadpool 2 trailer is more of a short film than a trailer, Fox’s answer to Marvel’s defunct “One-Shots” that they used to include on their Blu-rays and DVDs....

The Cinelinx Card Game Is Now Available As A Mobile App By Ethan Anderton/May 25, 2017 5:00 am EST You might remember a few years ago we featured a Kickstarter for a card game made just for cinephiles. The game was called Cinelinx, and it had players match actors to the movies they’ve been in, other actors they’ve worked with, and directors of their movies. It was like a card game version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon but with any actor, actress, movie or filmmaker....

The Morning Watch: ILM’s ‘Rogue One’ VFX Reel, McDonald’s Got Tim Burton Fired From Batman & More By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 28, 2017 5:00 am EST (The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.)

The Original ‘Blair Witch’ Team Pitched A Prequel Set In 18th Century New England By Jacob Hall/Sept. 19, 2016 9:30 am EST The first sequel to The Blair Witch Project arrived only 15 months after the release of the original movie. The second sequel took another 16 years to manifest, arriving in theaters just three days ago. While the franchise lay dormant for over a decade, it turns out that there were attempts to revive it in the years between Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and Blair Witch, one of which was a prequel pitched by the same team that made the original movie....
