‘Gotham’ Series Finale Teaser Finally Reveals The Joker In All His Glamor By Ethan Anderton/April 1, 2019 1:51 pm EST It’s taken five seasons, but fans will finally get to see The Joker come to Gotham City in his most recognizable form. A new promo for the upcoming series finale of Gotham shows Cameron Monaghan in full white make-up, purple suit, and yellow gloves as the insane criminal who will become Batman’s arch nemesis, and there’s even a poster that feels like it’s trying to recreate the vibe of Heath Ledger’s turn as the villain in The Dark Knight....

‘House Of The Dragon’ Adds More Cast Members, Suggests There Will Be Regular Flashbacks By Joshua Meyer/July 7, 2021 5:44 am EST Throughout its 8 years on HBO, Game of Thrones mostly shied away from flashbacks as a storytelling device. Now, however, the franchise based on George R.R. Martin’s novels has a whole prequel series on the way, which could be considered one long flashback of sorts. House of the Dragon will take viewers further back in time in the world of Westeros — 300 years, to be exact....

‘The Hidden II,’ The DTV Sequel To 1987’s Third-Best Sci-Fi Movie, Is Best Left That Way By Rob Hunter/June 1, 2018 1:00 pm EST (Welcome to DTV Descent, a series that explores the weird and wild world of direct-to-video sequels to theatrically released movies. In this edition, we take a look at a sad little cash-grab hoping to capitalize on the cult popularity of 1987’s third-best sci-fi/action movie.) One of my favorite things about consuming entertainment media – whether it be film, literature, or television – is having the opportunity to share terrific but lesser known favorites with people who haven’t seen or sometimes even heard of them....

The Curse of La Llorona Warner Bros. The worst entry in The Conjuring Universe wasn’t even originally sold as a Conjuring movie. Marketing for The Curse of La Llorona played up the fact that James Wan was producing, but it also went out of its way to not call this a Conjuring entry. Of course, it was all a rouse – there’s a small but clear connection to the main franchise here, and that was meant to be a big surprise for audiences....

Arnold Schwarzenegger Confirmed One Of Hollywood’s All-Time Great Troll Moves In A Fantastic Q&A [Beyond Fest] By Ben Pearson/Oct. 9, 2017 9:00 am EST Late last week, Beyond Fest 2017 hosted a double feature of Predator and The Running Man to celebrate the 30th anniversaries of both films, and star Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in person for a Q&A session beforehand. It was everything an Arnold fan could have hoped for: great stories, terrific jokes, and even a surprise appearance by Predator co-star Bill Duke....

Being The Ricardos Trailer: Nicole Kidman Is Having A Ball As The I Love Lucy Icon By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 19, 2021 9:25 am EST After guiding “The Trial of the Chicago 7” to plenty of awards attention in this past year’s Oscars ceremony (although it was ultimately shut out), Aaron Sorkin returns once again to the based-on-true-events scene with “Being the Ricardos.” Faced with the impossibly tall task of bringing the very public figures of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball to life, the predictably star-studded cast nonetheless features a top pairing that caught many by surprise, to put it mildly....

Comic-Con: First Look At Super By Adam Quigley/July 24, 2010 9:00 am EST I’ve never understood the fascination at Comic-Con with wanting to see panels for movies that audiences already know everything about. To me, Super is the epitome of what makes this place special: getting to be the first to discover and experience the geekiest projects worth getting excited about in the years ahead, right alongside the filmmakers and cast that created them....

Don’t Call It A Reimagining: How The New ‘Creepshow’ Was Born [Set Visit] By Jacob Hall/Sept. 4, 2019 10:00 am EST 1982’s Creepshow is a perfect gem of a horror movie. Legendary filmmaker George Romero directing a screenplay written by Stephen King that acts as a tribute to gnarly horror comics, complete with ghastly color schemes and outrageous gore? It’s a perfect thing, really. How do you even attempt to recreate that lightning in a bottle?...

Exclusive ‘Chaos Walking’ Featurette Clip: Daisy Ridley Discusses The Challenges Of The Sci-Fi Adaptation By Ethan Anderton/May 25, 2021 10:00 am EST Chaos Walking came and went without much pomp and circumstance earlier this year, mostly because theaters weren’t fully open for a proper theatrical release. But the movie is available on digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD starting today, and we’ve got an exclusive look behind the scenes with Daisy Ridley talking about the challenge director Doug Liman faced in bringing Patrick Ness’ book to life on the big screen...

Here’s What Happened To The Cast Of Heroes NBC By Scott Thomas/Sept. 1, 2021 4:49 pm EST Tim Kring intended for “Heroes” to have a shifting cast. That was a sensible impulse: The show — which aired on NBC from 2006-2010 — concerned ordinary people who discover they have superhuman abilities. If the series’ primary thrust was proving how extraordinary an average human could be, casting a fresh batch of actors each season seems like a prudent way to drive the theme home — and to discover new breakout stars in the process....

Jordan Peele’s ‘Nope’ Cast Adds Michael Wincott, To Which We Say “Yep” By Chris Evangelista/July 22, 2021 11:41 am EST Today we learned the title of Jordan Peele’s new movie: Nope. And that’s…pretty much all we learned, really! Like most of Peele’s movies, Nope is currently shrouded in secrecy, and will probably stay that way all the way up until release. But there is one new bit of info that’s worth highlighting....

Obi-Wan Kenobi First Look “Obi-Wan Kenobi” drops exclusively on the Disney+ streaming service in 2022. Last we heard, the series is presented as standalone, but if the fans clamor enough and the story is right, the writer’s room might oblige more. Filming began in the spring of this year, but without a precise release date. The series is penned by Joby Harold (Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead”), who executive produces the series along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Chow, and McGregor....

Quentin Tarantino’s New Beverly Cinema Reopens On June 1 By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 3, 2021 9:30 am EST Movie theaters have suffered under the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, with several beloved landmarks forced to shutter due to the financial toll. But at least one iconic theater is guaranteed a grand reopening: Los Angeles’ New Beverly Cinema, owned and operated by Quentin Tarantino. The New Beverly Cinema reopening date has been set, after more than a year of being closed in response to the pandemic last March....

Ratatouille Easter Eggs Revealed By Peter Sciretta/July 6, 2007 11:44 am EST One of the many things I love about Pixar movies is the fact that they pack the screen with so many details. Not just in the story and the characters, but the designs, and backgrounds. It usually takes a few viewings to catch everything. And even then, you are probably missing out on a few of the hidden easter eggs that were left by the geniuses at Pixar....

Ron Howard’s ‘Grinch’ Is Really About Christine Baranski Wanting To F*** The Grinch By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 17, 2018 10:00 am EST Whatever you think of Ron Howard’s Grinch adaptation, one thing can not be denied: Christine Baranski’s character in the film is incredibly thirsty for Jim Carrey’s Grinch, and would very badly like to take him in her loving arms. As Christmas draws closer, let us try to remember the reason for the season: Christine Baranski being overcome with frantic lust to bang a Christmas-hating monster....

Scream Trailer: Ghostface Is Back To Ask A New Generation If They Like Scary Movies Paramount By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 12, 2021 9:03 am EST What’s your favorite scary movie? If the answer is “Scream,” then I have good news: there’s a new “Scream” coming your way! And, confusingly enough, even though it’s the fifth entry in the series, it’s just going by the name “Scream.” This is becoming a trend in horror – see also 2018’s “Halloween” – and I’m not sure I like it....

The Witcher Season 2 Clip: Geralt Meets A Myriapod Netflix By Danielle Ryan/Nov. 29, 2021 4:44 pm EST Toss a coin to your Witcher, because he’s going to have to fight even more ridiculous monster baddies in season 2. Netflix released a new clip from the upcoming second season, showing Geralt (Henry Cavill) facing off against a massive Myriapod, which looks like a millipede designed by Satan himself. With the season 2 premiere less than a month away, this is probably only the first of many tiny tastes to get the hype train rolling before the second season drops on December 17, 2021....
