‘The Mummy’ Trailer Without Finished Sound Is Hilarious, Bizarre, And Enlightening By Jacob Hall/Dec. 20, 2016 7:30 am EST Something very peculiar happened last night. The IMAX trailer for Universal’s upcoming remake of The Mummy, which looks pretty close to the normal trailer for The Mummy, was uploaded to YouTube. But while the visuals were familiar, the audio was not. What originally looked like a baffling creative choice eventually revealed itself to be a truly strange technical error – they had uploaded a trailer without a finished sound mix, leaving the actors’ vocal tracks, a little bit of ambient noise, and not much else....

‘Wonder Woman’ Box Office Tracking: How Much Will The Movie Make Opening Weekend? By Peter Sciretta/May 11, 2017 11:00 am EST Wonder Woman is one of the biggest question marks of this Summer. In this year’s Summer Movie Wager, some people had it in the middle of the top 10, while others merely included it as a dark horse. It’s the fourth film in Warner Bros’ DC Extended Universe, which began with Man of Steel, and typically those movies have made around $300-$330 million....

How about Spider-Man and Hawkeye exchanging not just a throwaway line or two, but having an epic back-and-forth conversation full of quotable one-liners? Well, the future is wide open, because Oscar-winning writer Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, A Few Good Men) says he has meetings scheduled with both Marvel Studios and DC Films to discuss the possibility of writing a superhero movie....

Powers Pocket Dimensions The species are said to be able to store entire universes within their mouths, with which they can access and store a great many of things within to draw upon at will. Tentacle Protrusion: Flerken all possess a mess of tendrils kept within their mouths. They can use these for support and offensive tactics.

DC’s Harley Quinn Movie Enlists Cathy Yan As Director By Chris Evangelista/April 17, 2018 9:00 am EST Warner Bros. and DC’s Harley Quinn movie now has a director – Cathy Yan. The film in the works sounds like a combination of Birds of Prey, about a team of female superheroes, and Gotham City Sirens, about a team of female super villains.

By Jack Giroux/Feb. 9, 2017 12:00 pm EST Below, learn why we might or might not see a Firefly reboot. During a panel last month at the TCA 2017, Madden told Rotten Tomatoes he’s open to a Firefly reboot (via TV Overmind). Of course, he’s only interested if Whedon wants to do it, and Whedon is busy with movies. Madden doesn’t want more episodes of Firefly without The Avengers: Age of Ultron director....

AMC, Regal and other theater chains are set to shutter 50-60 locations over the next few days depending on the intensity of Hurricane Florence....

So it’s fitting that the John Wick spin-off could be called Ballerina. Lionsgate is planning to develop a female-led action film titled Ballerina into a spin-off in the expanding John Wick universe, which first earned a cult following in 2014, and now has gone on to spawn a sequel, a comic book, and an upcoming television series....

That remains to be seen. But Amy Acker is in it, so they have that going for them at least. After last week’s brief teaser for The Gifted, we’ve been — I’m going to say it — gifted with a full-length official trailer for the Fox/Marvel series helmed by Singer and created by Burn Notice’s Matt Nix....
