Avengers: Infinity War Set Photos Tease Inclusion of Black Order #movienews

While fans look forward to the incredible line-up that the MCU has for the big screen this year, with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Thor: Ragnarok all on the way, the next epic crossover movie is already underway: Avengers: Infinity War. This massive superhero ensemble movie is what Marvel has been working up to since the beginning of Phase One, so it’s not surprising that filming is going to take a lot longer than it would for a solo superhero flick. Production officially got underway in February, and is sure to continue over multiple sets for many months to come.

Sony Planning My Favorite Thing is Monsters Graphic Novel Adaptation #movienews

Adaptations are huge news in Hollywood, and with good reason. They come with a pre-existing storyline, fanbase, and as a result, are far less risky than an entirely new concept, so it can often seem as though every new movie and TV series is adapted from a novel, video game, anime or comic book. Even toys and emojis are being turned into film franchises! Graphic novels and comic books are particularly desirable for adaptation, from the better-known superheroes of DC and Marvel to smaller titles like Archer and Armstrong, rights to comics and graphic novels are being snapped up by big studios.

Warner Bros kicked off the DC Extended Universe last year with the premiere of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

American Assassin CinemaCon Footage Description #movienews

The late author Vince Flynn published 13 novels about terrorist-battling CIA agent Mitch Rapp between 1999 and 2012. In 2010, Flynn went back in time to explore Rapp’s origins with the prequel novel American Assassin. CBS Films at one time planned to make a movie out of American Assassin with Chris Hemsworth in the lead role, and even offered the Thor star $10 million for the privilege. Ultimately Hemsworth passed on the money and the opportunity, and the film went forward with the much-younger Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien in the lead.

CBS Films is reportedly hoping that O’Brien’s portrayal of Rapp in American Assassin – think a less mysterious, more patriotic Jason Bourne – will catch on with audiences and ...

G.I. Joe Reboot in the Works; Will Take ‘Millennial Approach’ #movienews

Already a dominating force in the toy world, Hasbro made a grand entry into the live-action filmmaking realm with Michael Bay’s monster smash Transformers in 2007. While some of Bay’s Transformers sequels have done better than the others box office-wise, they’ve all been big hits – which explains why franchise is chugging along with the pending release of the fifth film in the franchise, Transformers: The Last Knight, this June.

While Transformers movies have been a boon for Hasbro in theaters and at retail – each film comes with several new opportunities of movie toy representations of the characters – the toymaker hasn’t had as great of luck with the big-screen adaptation of its G.I. Joe franchise. Sure, 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and 2013’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation were moderate hits, but had nowhere near the international blockbuster appeal of the Transformers movies.

With a range of beautifully shot, expertly crafted tales ranging from the 1980s California porn industry (Boogie Nights) to the very dark side of the early days of America’s oil boom (There Will Be Blood), Anderson has amassed a devoted fanbase over the years and collected 6 Oscar nominations in the process.

Though Anderson’s last non-documentary feature – 2014’s Inherent Vice – was praised by numerous critics and nominated for 2 Oscars, it received a somewhat ...

Moonlight May Not Get Chinese Theatrical Release #movienews

Just last month, Moonlight rocked the cinematic world when it upset favorite La La Land (in a very direct way) to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Since, the film has seen a much wider release all across America — an incredible achievement in itself, as the movie depicts a gay love story between two black men. The film shattered several representational milestones as the first movie with an all-black cast to win Best Picture and the first Best Picture winner to center on LGBT themes. Unfortunately, that latter claim to fame may hinder the film’s prospects for international release.

China is notorious for its film censorship, especially when it comes to movies with gay protagonists. Since the ...

Batgirl Movie: Joss Whedon to Write & Direct #movienews

Although the next three installments in the DC Extended Universe are firmly in place at this point (see Wonder Woman, Justice League and next year’s Aquaman), there are several in-development movies that could follow thereafter. Among those projects is a movie featuring the Birds of Prey, with Christina Hodson (the upcoming Bumblebee spinoff) reportedly writing the script for a DCEU project featuring the team (which has enjoyed a resurgence in the world of DC Comics recently).

Many fans seem to agree that Birds of Prey would make for a great female character-driven addition to the DCEU. Beyond that, rumors have swirled for years that regular team leader Batgirl could even get her own solo DCEU film. Director Nicholas Winding Refn ...

Get Out Director Jordan Peele Taking His Time Deciding on Next Film #movienews

For years, comedian Jordan Peele has made a name for himself thanks to the popularity of Comedy Central’s Key & Peele. While delivering hilarious sketches, the show also slowly gained a reputation for the biting social commentary it wove throughout its satirical material. For many, he was a writer with plenty of promise in the comedy world. None, however, could have suspected he’d make an even bigger splash in the realm of horror films. When it was announced that Peele would be making his directoral debut with a horror film examining race in America, people were taken aback. Once Get Out premiered, though, it quickly proved to be one of the ...

Stephen King’s IT Movie & TV Miniseries Compared in New Video #movienews

Considering the amount of classic novels written by horror master Stephen King, anyone trying to unequivocally claim that IT is the author’s greatest work is likely to be immediately challenged by fellow fans, eager to hold up books like The Stand or Pet Sematary as King’s best. Still, IT is definitely at least in that conversation for most people, which is an achievement in and of itself.

IT is also one of King’s longest books, clocking in at over 1100 pages, and fully qualifying for the label of doorstopper. As one might imagine, IT is a very complex novel, spanning decades of time and frequently taking side trips to explore supporting characters inhabiting the doomed town of Derry, many of which never even appeared in the 1990 ABC miniseries starring Tim Curry that adapted the book for TV.

Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie May Be Picked Up by Blumhouse #movienews

Five Nights at Freddy’s is a point-and-click survival horror video game about a night time security guard at a Chuck E. Cheese’s-like pizza joint, who finds himself being attacked by a group of deranged animatronic characters. The first game was so popular it spawned four sequels while catching the eye of executives at Warner Bros – which, at one point, was reportedly ready to go forward with a Five Nights movie adaptation.

Despite subsequent reports that Five Nights at Freddy’s was moving ahead at WB with Poltergeist director Gil Kenan at the helm, a film has yet to materialize. In early 2017, game creator Scott Cawthon declared (via Steam) that the movie ...

Avengers: Infinity War Scotland Shoot Includes Elizabeth Olsen #movienews

Though it’s over a year away, the massive spectacle that will be Avengers: Infinity War has already begun production. Part of that is due to the fact that it’s shooting back-to-back with the as-yet untitled Avengers 4. There’s also the sprawling nature of the film and its dozens of cast members. The Guardians of the Galaxy play a key role here, as does Spider-Man, following his Homecoming appearance this summer. Even newer MCU characters like Doctor Strange and Valkyrie will be on hand for the battle against Thanos, who himself will be bringing a few friends to the party.

All this preparation for the film means set photos have continued to ...

Kingsman 2 Poster & Synopsis – Eggsy’s Saving the World Again #movienews

Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of the most pleasant cinematic surprises of 2015. Featuring Taron Egerton as English troublemaker Eggsy and Colin Firth as suave secret agent Harry Hart – pitched somewhere between James Bond and Austin Powers – the movie was a critical and commercial success in a multitude of territories. Hence, the announcement of a follow up in the form of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, did not come as a surprise.

The Golden Circle sees the return of primary protagonists Egerton and Firth, as well as the first movie’s key behind the scenes duo, director Matthew Vaughn and writer Jane Goldman. ...

Spider-Man Is ‘Most Relatable Superhero’ Says Tom Holland #movienews

The modern boom of comic book movies has made household names out of formerly second (and third) tier characters like Iron Man and Star-Lord as box office records have fallen, but Spider-Man remains one of the most popular superheroes out there. Even with the multiplex being dominated by the exploits of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers over the past decade, a convincing argument can be made that Peter Parker is still Marvel’s poster boy, one of the many reasons why fans are excited to see the Web Head be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After debuting in Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland’s iteration leads Spider-Man: Homecoming this summer.

Deadpool 2 Won’t Change ‘The DNA of Deadpool’ #movienews

As much as fans loved the proper interpretation of the character and critics heaped praise upon the film, the blistering success of 2016’s Deadpool still came as a pleasant surprise in more ways than one. Not only did it become the highest-grossing R-rated movie (and comic book movie) in cinematic history, but 20th Century Fox even heavily pushed the film for awards consideration, landing one of the top 10 coveted nominations for the Producers Guild of America Awards.

Since more eyes tuned into the comedic adventures and mishaps of the Merc with a Mouth than even star Ryan Reynolds probably anticipated, you have to believe the actor is feeling the heat ...

Dunkirk CinemaCon Footage Details: Nolan Puts Viewers on the Beach #movienews

Christoper Nolan’s Dunkirk is a dramatization of one of the most pivotal moments in World War II. With over 400,000 troops seemingly trapped on the beach of the French port at the mercy of German forces, a massive evacuation took place which was bloody, brutal, and dangerous. The mission resulted in a huge loss of life, but ultimately, 330,00 soldiers were saved.

Nolan will bring all of this to life on the big screen, with an all-star cast that includes Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, James D’Arcy, and Harry Styles. Undoubtedly, Dunkirk has the potential to become a huge hit, and a classic war movie, but eyebrows were ...

Blade Runner 2049 CinemaCon Footage Features Jared Leto #movienews

There’s no doubt that Hollywood is enjoying a renaissance period tied to iconic sci-fi films made in the 1970s and ’80s. Star Wars, of course, made its valiant return with The Force Awakens to wrap up 2015, and Ridley Scott pressed ahead last year with his Alien prequel Alien: Covenant, which is set for May release. Scott will also return in October – but in executive producer mode – as Arrival helmer Denis Villeneuve directs the long-awaited sequel to Scott’s 1982 classic Blade Runner with Blade Runner 2049.

Sony Pictures debuted some new footage of Blade Runner 2049 Wednesday night, in a CinemaCon event attended by star ...
