Colin Farrell Is A Big Fan Of His Fake Penguin Face In The Batman Warner Bros. By Kaylee Dugan/Feb. 8, 2022 9:31 am EST Robert Pattinson’s take on Gotham’s finest in “The Batman” might be drawing a lot of buzz, but Colin Farrell isn’t letting him soak up all the glory.

David Fincher Would Direct Seven Differently If He Had The Chance New Line Cinema By Miyako Pleines/May 10, 2022 10:59 am EST David Fincher has proven time and again he is happy to work on projects that have to do with murder. He seems most happy when they are particularly unique or deranged (think serial killers or wild crimes of passion). He’s known for directing the popular Netflix show “Mindhunter,” which focuses on the FBI’s attempt at classifying serial killers into a usable identification database, and his work on films like “Zodiac,” “Gone Girl,” and “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” all share themes....

Another superhero franchise hopeful DC Comics It is no secret that every studio and streaming service in Hollywood is looking for a superhero franchise, and they are hard to come by. “Xerø” represents a unique opportunity, in that it was published by DC, one of the biggest names in the game, yet the rights were able to be secured by Jackson and his producing partners, giving someone other than Warner Bros....

While the folks are away, The Thing shall play Universal Wright and I were both eight when “The Thing” hit theaters on June 25, 1982, so we share the experience of being forbidden from seeing the movie in theaters. “I wish I had a cooler story about seeing ‘The Thing’ for the first time. The cooler version would be this: I was eight when it came out and sneaked into a screening (after a matinee of ‘Grease 2’) and immediately felt like an adult film fan as the credits rolled....

Fantastic Beasts’ Grindelwald Has One Specific Trait In Common With Many Other Mads Mikkelsen Villains Warner Bros. Pictures By Kaylee Dugan/April 15, 2022 8:44 am EST Mads Mikkelsen keeps getting typecast, but not in the way you may think. While the Danish actor has certainly amassed a resume full of big-budget villains, including roles in the James Bond franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and now, finally, the world of Harry Potter, the similarities in the roles he’s taken on in the last few years don’t end there....

How To Watch The Naruto Franchise In Order Viz Media By BJ Colangelo/June 22, 2022 9:42 am EST When it comes to popular anime series, few can hold a candle to “Naruto.” Based on Masashi Kishimoto’s manga series of the same name, “Naruto” centers on Naruto Uzumaki and his ninja brethren as they defend the Hidden Leaf Village.

Kevin Feige Addresses Scott Derrickson’s Departure From Multiverse Of Madness Marvel Studios By Sandy Schaefer/March 15, 2022 11:31 am EST There are few ways of stirring the pot quite like a director stepping down from a major tentpole over unspecified “creative differences.” It’s happened on multiple occasions with Marvel Cinematic Universe movies over the years, the most recent example being “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” In that case, “Doctor Strange” helmer Scott Derrickson was set to call the shots on the Sorcerer Supreme’s next solo film, only to drop out in January 2020 and be replaced by Sam Raimi not long after....

Moon Knight Meets The Moon God In Creepy New Clip From Disney+ Series Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/March 17, 2022 2:21 pm EST It’s important for Marvel superheroes to feel relatable, and that goes double for ones who are being introduced to general audiences for the first time. Though Oscar Isaac is more commonly associated with “X-Men: Apocalypse” and the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy than relatable everyman roles, the actor was nonetheless chosen to bring his star power to Marvel’s “Moon Knight” series, adding another kind of draw to this thoroughly unique addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Rendezvous With Rama: Denis Villeneuve Is Adapting Another Sci-Fi Classic (After Dune 2, Of Course) Paramount Pictures By BJ Colangelo/Dec. 15, 2021 5:58 pm EST Denis Villeneuve is a science-fiction directing machine. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker’s next project after his upcoming sequel to “Dune” will be an adaptation of Arthur C.

Rise Of Skywalker Concept Art Reveals Unused Design For Dark Rey’s Double-Sided Lightsaber Lucasfilm By Joshua Meyer/Jan. 11, 2022 10:13 am EST Sorry to break out a cliche, but Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines a “double-edged sword” as “something that has or can have both favorable and unfavorable consequences.” Going by this definition, the Disney era of “Star Wars” is the living embodiment of a double-edged sword. It’s given us some good moments and bad moments, and now it’s given us a glimpse of an unused double-sided lightsaber....

Sam Neill Agrees That Jurassic Park III Is Good, Actually Universal Pictures By Joshua Meyer/June 7, 2022 8:35 am EST As we near the stateside release of Hollywood’s latest legacy sequel, “Jurassic World Dominion,” (which has already opened in some countries), the predictable flow of nostalgia for past films in the franchise has even Sam Neill looking back at “Jurassic Park III” through rose-colored glasses.
