Romancing the Stud Paramount Pictures Yes, the premise for “The Lost City” recalls that for “Romancing the Stone,” but then again, when was the last time we got a movie like “Romancing the Stone?” Tatum raised that very point during his and Bullock’s interview with EW, saying, “They just don’t make movies like [‘Romancing the Stone’] anymore. This is sort of one of those moments to see if we can land on a new version of that sort of genre movie…”...

When In Rome Movie Trailer By Devindra Hardawar/Aug. 17, 2009 10:25 am EST I can track my reaction to this trailer for When in Rome in several distinct phases: Hurray, Kristen Bell! Lee Pace, don’t mind if I do! Josh Dushamel, uhh okay. Danny Devito, do you really belong here? An unending string of pratfall gags—never a good sign. Shitty music—I’m really going to hate this trailer when it’s repeated ad nausem in theaters....

Why Jupiter’s Legacy Was Canceled — Here’s What We Know Netflix By Vanessa Armstrong/Oct. 1, 2021 4:28 pm EST People were shocked when Netflix pulled the plug on “Jupiter’s Legacy,” a series that was supposed to be the streaming platform’s flagship superhero show and the foundation of the new “Millarworld” universe they were creating with comic book creator Mark Millar. While the show received mixed reviews at best, a decent amount of people watched it when it premiered....

Why The Blair Witch Project Was A Nightmare To Film Artisan Entertainment By Witney Seibold/Dec. 14, 2021 1:52 pm EST The story of “The Blair Witch Project” is the stuff of indie movie legend. Made in 1999 for a mere $60,000 and shot by the actors in the woods, the film went on to be an enormous box office sensation and zeitgeist-rattling horror touchstone, earning over $250 million worldwide. Directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, “The Blair Witch Project” was shot in a documentary style, and purported to be the real footage of real people who actually got lost in the woods and who perhaps encountered the bizarre supernatural leavings of a real witch....

‘Come Play’ Trailer: A Boy With Autism Gets A Creepy New “Friend” By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 27, 2020 12:30 pm EST It’s a tradition in horror movies to have a kid who sees the threat of ghosts and demons hiding in the shadows, and parents refuse to believe them almost every single time. Focus Features new horror movie Come Play takes on that trope head-on, but as the first trailer reveals, they’ve added some refreshing elements to mix up the formula a little bit....

‘Dear White People’ Season 4 Trailer Fully Embraces The ’90s By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 17, 2021 8:43 am EST This is how you do it. The most on-the-nose needle drop possible is just part of the throwback charm in this Dear White People trailer, the fourth season of which will dive headfirst into the realm of musicals and feature episodes inspired by the music of the 1990s. Netflix released a new trailer for the soon-to-be released season, which you can watch below....

Normally when you see Kevin Hart’s name attached to a movie, it’s pretty much a guarantee that things are going to get loud and silly.

‘Finch’ First Look: Tom Hanks Builds A Robot To Watch His Dog By Chris Evangelista/Aug. 12, 2021 9:11 am EST Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Tom Hanks, a robot, and a dog walk into a post-apocalyptic movie. That’s the premise of Finch, an upcoming Apple original that has America’s Dad playing an inventor who builds a ‘bot to watch over his beloved pooch. A Finch first look image has just arrived, and don’t worry – it features Hanks, the robot, and the dog (whose name is Goodyear)....

‘In The Earth’ Review: Ben Wheatley Gets Wild In The Woods With A Pandemic Horror Film That Assaults Your Senses [Sundance 2021] By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 30, 2021 7:00 am EST “People get a bit funny in the woods,” a character says early on in Ben Wheatley’s In the Earth, and that line could double as the movie’s mantra. Like the filmmaker’s A Field in England, it follows characters lost in nature, slowly going out of their minds as they talk about alchemy and magic and other things you don’t quite understand....

‘Rise Of The Pink Ladies,’ That ‘Grease’ Prequel Everyone Wanted, Moves Forward At Paramount+ By Ethan Anderton/July 18, 2021 10:08 am EST Last fall, the Grease prequel series formerly known as Grease: Rydell High shifted from HBO Max to Paramount+, and it also received a new focus and title with the series being developed as Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. Now fans of the classic musical starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John can rejoice, because the project has officially been ordered to series for 10 episodes....

‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World’ Is Getting An Enhanced Theatrical Re-Release For The 10th Anniversary By Ethan Anderton/March 24, 2021 11:00 am EST It’s been over 10 years since Scott Pilgrim vs the World arrived in theaters. In fact, the 10th anniversary should have been celebrated last year, but the coronavirus pandemic kept audiences mostly away from movie theaters. That’s why this year will see the theatrical re-release of Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel series in a never-before-seen version of the movie that has been recalibrated for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, providing an audio visual experience for the movie that has never been better....

‘Shadow In The Cloud’ Trailer: Chloë Grace Moretz Fights A Gremlin During World War II By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 9, 2020 4:30 pm EST Shadow in the Cloud, an annoying movie that bears the stink of Max Landis, now has itself a trailer. This sci-fi horror flick feels like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone, but not as good. Chloë Grace Moretz plays the lone woman on a B-17 Flying Fortress who realizes there’s a gremlin wrecking havoc to the plane as it flies over enemy territory....

‘What We Do In The Shadows’ Season 2 Shows Off Mark Hamill As A New Vampire By Ethan Anderton/May 5, 2020 11:30 am EST Mark Hamill will always be known as Luke Skywalker, but outside of the Star Wars saga, he’s been doing extremely interesting work with an array of eclectic characters. On top of his incredible voice work as The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and recent turns in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Avengers Assemble, Hamill has also been appearing on live-action shows like The Flash and Knightfall....

Here’s The Translation For That ‘Loki’ Drinking Song Tom Hiddleston Sings In Episode 3 By Vanessa Armstrong/June 25, 2021 9:57 am EST The latest episode of Loki had Variants Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) go through a lot. Stuck on the doomed moon Lamentis-1, they had to deal with a planet breaking apart, the collapse of society, and philosophical discussions about love. We also learned a lot more about Loki and Sylvie, including — in Loki’s case — one of his Asgardian drinking songs....

Casino Royale MGM Where to stream: Netflix This is my personal favorite Bond movie. Is that a controversial thing to say? I don’t know. But I do know I love Daniel Craig’s rough-and-tumble new Bond, who feels more like a cold killer than a suave spy. This was Bond for the “Batman Begins” era, where everything had to be rebooted to be more “believable,” whatever that means. That makes “Casino Royale” a little more down-to-earth than previous Bonds, but it still rocks....

Marvel Is Ready To Play With New Spider-Man And Wolverine Video Game Trailers Marvel By Danielle Ryan/Sept. 9, 2021 5:54 pm EST The “Spider-Man” video games developed by Insomniac Games have been a web-slinging, city-crawling blast, earning critical accolades and selling enough copies to let Sony build a few more Scrooge McDuck money vaults. Now, the studio is teaming up with Marvel for two more comic book-based video games, one that should prove familiar and one that is new and very intriguing: “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” and “Marvel’s Wolverine”....
