Does This Mean What We Think It Means? Yes. Without a doubt yes. I think it’s a pretty safe bet ILM will be putting Shamook to work very soon. They now have two different shows taking place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens (Mandalorian Season 3 and The Book of Boba Fett) and Obi-Wan, which takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. That means there’s tons of room for more de-aged appearances and given the hubbub around Luke’s recent appearance you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll be seeing some more familiar faces pop up....

/Answers: The Craziest Movie You’ve Ever Seen In A Theater By /Film Staff/Sept. 14, 2017 8:00 am EST Every week in /Answers, we attempt to answer a new pop culture-related question. Tying in with the release of mother! (which is apparently even nuttier than the trailers suggest), this week’s edition asks “What is the craziest movie you’ve ever seen in a theater?” Jacob Hall: Night Train to Terror How do you even begin to talk about Night Train to Terror, one of the most baffling movies I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing on the big screen?...

‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ Leans Into Director Sam Raimi’s Horror Background By Chris Evangelista/June 18, 2021 9:57 am EST It’s hard to believe, but Sam Raimi hasn’t directed a movie since 2013’s Oz the Great and Powerful, a big box office hit that I’m sure most people completely forgot about. Thankfully, Raimi’s long drought will soon be over with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the sequel to 2016’s Doctor Strange....

‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequels: Everything We Know About The Next Four Movies By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 22, 2016 10:30 am EST Walking out of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, I found myself confused. This is the first installment of an announced five-film series but the movie somehow feels like a standalone one-off movie. I know critics like to complain about films which seem to exist only to set up a potential franchise, but this felt to me like the exact opposite....

/Film Interview: Jay Baruchel Talks ‘This Is The End,’ Opening Against ‘Man Of Steel,’ And ‘RoboCop’ By Germain Lussier/June 12, 2013 4:00 pm EST Along with co-director Seth Rogen, Baruchel is arguably the film’s lead character and the “in” for the audience. He plays the pseudo-outsider who finds himself at a star-studded Hollywood party just as the world is about to end. It’s a role he’s been playing for some time, starring in the original Jay and Seth vs....

‘Finding Ohana’ Trailer: It’s Like ‘The Goonies’, But In Hawaii By Ben Pearson/Jan. 8, 2021 5:00 pm EST Finding ‘Ohana, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Jude Weng, clearly has BGE: Big Goonies Energy. The upcoming Netflix movie, which involves a scrappy group of kids and search for a long-lost treasure, is basically a modern version of Richard Donner’s beloved 1985 children’s adventure film, but this one is set in Hawaii....

‘Free Guy’ Review: An Aggressively Optimistic Pop Song Of An Action Movie By Hoai-Tran Bui/Aug. 5, 2021 9:00 am EST Free Guy is the equivalent of a pop earworm – something a little tinny and artificial that nevertheless worms its way into your brain, whether you want it or not. Which makes it rather fitting that the big emotional crux of the movie is actually based around a pop song. And that the film’s star is epitome of pop likability: smooth, digestible, inoffensive — yes, even with all the curses that roll off his tongue....

‘Game Of Thrones’ Creator George R.R. Martin Strikes Five-Year Deal To Develop Content For HBO And HBO Max By Ethan Anderton/March 28, 2021 11:00 am EST After giving HBO one of their biggest hit show of all time, Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin is getting even more comfortable with the cable network and the WarnerMedia streaming service HBO Max. Hot on the heels of news that three Game of Thrones spin-offs were in development at HBO, the fantasy author has struck a five-year deal that will see him developing programming for both HBO and HBO Max....

‘Noelle’ Trailer: Deck The Halls With Anna Kendrick And Bill Hader [D23] By Ben Pearson/Aug. 23, 2019 6:11 pm EST Remember Fred Claus, the 2007 film in which Vince Vaughn played Santa’s brother? Well, ’tis about to be the season for Noelle, a new Christmas comedy starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader in which the two of them play Kris Kringle’s children. Take a guess which of them is the total mess and which one totally has their s*** together!...

‘Old’ Spoiler Review: Shyamalan Playfully Embraces Being The Heel By Jeremy Mathai/July 26, 2021 11:58 am EST It’s usually poor form when filmmakers attempt to respond to either critics or audiences (or both!) through their own movies. M. Night Shyamalan did exactly this with a certain side character in 2006’s Lady in the Water, one who just happened to be a film critic and who just happened to be the snobby, unlikable, misanthropic little jerk who singlehandedly prevented the good guys from accomplishing their goal for much of the runtime because of how confidently wrong he was....

‘Ted Lasso’ Season 2 Trailer: Jason Sudeikis And The Gang Return To AppleTV+ This July By Ben Pearson/April 20, 2021 11:00 am EST As coronavirus vaccines continue to roll out in full force in the United States, hope is finally on the horizon after a long, dark year. Ted Lasso, the AppleTV+ comedy series starring Jason Sudeikis, preached the gospel of hope, and the charming, hilarious, and incredibly nice show was one of the few high notes from 2020....

Fear of Rejection Marvel Studios In the book it is revealed that Pratt’s casting was thanks to a lot of different people throughout the process. Author Aileen Erin, who just so happens to be married to big Marvel producer Jeremy Latcham, championed Pratt for the part pointing out his comedic chops on “Parks and Rec” and his recent physical transformation from schlubby Andy Dwyer to a Navy SEAL in “Zero Dark Thirty....

DC League Of Super Pets Trailer: Meet Krypto And The Team DC Entertainment By Anya Stanley/Nov. 23, 2021 12:17 pm EST New DC content is coming down the pike, and it’s adorable. “DC League of Super-Pets” is an upcoming animated comedy film, co-written and directed by Jared Stern, and co-directed by Sam Levine.

So What the Heck is Going On? Marvel Studios Aside from the fact that Facebook appears to be flagging run-of-the-mill social media posts about the biggest movie in the world right now seemingly without reason, this may have large ramifications. Social chatter is a big way to help drive people to see a movie. While “Eternals” has been critically divisive, audience reaction could help persuade moviegoers to give it a shot....

Even Don Cheadle Thinks His Emmy Nomination For ‘The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’ Is Ludicrous By Ben Pearson/July 13, 2021 1:18 pm EST Don Cheadle has delivered plenty of outstanding performances over the course of his three-decade career, and even when he shows up in something that isn’t great, he’s a reliable presence and frequently elevates the projects he’s in. But even as a fan of the actor’s work (seek him out in No Sudden Move, which is currently on HBO Max), it’s just plain ridiculous that Cheadle received an Emmy nomination for his two-minute cameo in Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and the Winter Soldier....

First Looks: Chloe Moretz In ‘Hick;’ Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston & Kevin Spacey In ‘Horrible Bosses’ By Russ Fischer/April 5, 2011 9:23 am EST [No photo] Just a couple years ago Chloe Moretz looked like a munchkin in (500) Days of Summer, and now in this off-set still from Hick, she’s looking a bit older than fourteen as she’s tarted up for her role as “a 13-year-old Nebraska girl who gets more than she bargained for when she runs away to Las Vegas....

Hocus Pocus 2 Set Photos May Confirm The Sequel’s Working Title Walt Disney Pictures By Max Evry/Dec. 13, 2021 10:59 am EST Someone in Rhode Island must have spoken the ancient incantation “Solaten omnes saculorem tuba nriirum est,” because a Black Flame has been lit on the set of the Disney+ sequel “Hocus Pocus 2,” which is now filming in The Ocean State (subbing for Massachusetts). As it happens, Providence resident and Instagram user Mike Ferguson happened to be strolling along by the set when he snapped some photos of the Sanderson Sisters’ trailers only to uncover the new movie’s potential working title: “Black Flame....
