How Long is Transformers: The Last Knight’s Runtime? #movienews

For what could be his final Transformers film, Michael Bay may have have crafted a three hour conclusion in Transformers: The Last Knight. Since Paramount handed the reigns to Bay and saw him launch the franchise in 2007, the Transformers films have progressively grown longer. The first trilogy all hovered around 2 hours and 30 minutes, but it was the latest effort, Transformers: Age of Extinction, that saw its runtime increase to 2 hours and 45 minutes full of explosions and Transformers – yet very little Dinobot action.

Based on what we know of The Last Knight, Bay has a complex story to unpack in what he says could be his final directorial ...

Kirsten Dunst Criticizes Latest Spider-Man Reboot #movienews

Kirsten Dunst, who starred in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, criticizes Marvel and Sony’s latest theatrical reboot, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Arguably the most famous hero in Marvel’s star-studded stable of classic characters, Spider-Man has understandably led a very active life when it comes to movie and TV adaptations. The first big theatrical adaptation of Spider-Man was of course Sam Raimi’s 2002 hit, which cast Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and Dunst as his usual love interest Mary Jane Watson. One of the early 2000s films that helped to give rise to the current comic book-dominated film industry, Raimi’s Spider-Man would spawn an arguably even better sequel in 2004, before ending on a very divisive note with 2007’s Spider-Man 3.

Thanks to Wonder Woman, the DC Extended Universe finally has a smash hit that can be celebrated by both fans and critics alike, setting the stage for Justice League, which we can only hope will continue that trend.

Beauty and the Beast stars Emma Watson and Josh Gad recall the magic of an enchanted table read before filming in a new video.

Avatar Sequels: Joel David Moore Officially Returning #movienews

Joel David Moore will reprise his role in James Cameron’s upcoming Avatar sequels. The films have been in limbo since 2009, when the franchise’s first installment set an all-time box office record of $2.7 billion. Since then, the projects have been marred by interminable delays, largely due to Cameron’s ambitious vision: he’s filming all four back-to-back, and has been aiming for an elaborate post-production process that could eliminate the use of glasses for 3D filmmaking.

Avatar 2 was originally set for 2014, then 2018, but was pushed back yet again several months ago. In April, Cameron upped the release dates to a planned roll out from 2020 to 2025, and now, it seems, things have finally begun to take shape. Zoe Saldana confirmed to Screen Rant that the team

A new clip has arrived for Charlize Theron’s upcoming action/spy thriller, Atomic Blonde and as expected, there’s plenty of carnage to take in. Based on Antony Johnston’s 2012 graphic novel The Coldest City, Atomic Blonde was handpicked by Theron, earning her a producer credit alongside her lead role as Lorraine Broughton, a Cold War era M16 agent sent to Berlin to deliver an extremely valuable dossier.

Theron’s passion for the project has been well-documented to date, having purchased the rights to the graphic novel five years earlier. Lorraine Broughton’s strength and unapologetic demeanor make her a new type of action star and that’s exactly what drew Theron’s Oscar winning instincts to the character and story as a whole.

For the latest episode of Honest Trailers, Screen Junkies have got their claws into Catwoman. It follows last week’s Honest Trailer of Logan, a film that was so hard to criticise even a guest-starring Deadpool couldn’t help. This week’s choice is something of an easier target though.

Catwoman was the 2004 interpretation of the anti-hero, and bizarrely ignored all of the character’s DC comics history and backstory. Instead of playing Selina Kyle, Halle Berry stars as a newly created character called Patience Phillips, who gets turned into the title character by feline messengers of the goddess Bast. There was no Batman (or any other DC hero) and Catwoman’s nemesis was Laurel Hedare (played by Sharon Stone), the owner of a cosmetics company. The film was universally panned by critics and on Rotten Tomatoes it currently holds a rating of 9 percent. Produced for the sum of $100 million, it only grossed $82 million at the worldwide box ...

Universal Pictures has released a new, behind-the-scenes featurette showcasing the scale of The Mummy as well as the locations featured in the film. It has been five years since the studio first announced plans to release a modern-day reboot of The Mummy franchise. Instead of taking place in the early 20th century — as the previous Mummy films did — the new movie, directed by Star Trek series writer Alex Kurtzman, is set in the present-day, with only flashbacks to the past.

The Mummy stars Tom Cruise as cursed mercenary Nick Morton, who unwittingly discovers the tomb that holds Princess Ahmanet/The Mummy, played by Sofia Boutella (

Funko reveals a new line of Pop Vinyl figures featuring the characters from Kingsman: The Secret Service, ahead of this year’s sequel.

Aquaman: Nicole Kidman Arrives in Australia For Filming #movienews

Wonder Woman may be poised to kick off the DCEU’s offerings in 2017 this week, but that hasn’t stopped Aquaman from readying its production, with Nicole Kidman landing in Australia for her role in the film. While that movie gets underway, the first solo outing for the Amazon princess looks like it’s going to be the first unqualified critical success for the DCEU. The next big ensemble movie, Justice League, is also out this year, and there is little doubt that it’s going to be absolutely huge.

Aquaman is currently filming in Australia, and that means plenty of behind-the-scenes photos have been finding their way online and fueling speculation about the story of the King of Atlantis. Over ...

Spider-Man: Homecoming Tops Social Media Buzz Following Final Trailer #movienews

Spider-Man: Homecoming may not hit theaters for another month, but thanks to a final trailer and some brand new footage, it’s managed to really get people talking this past week.

Spider-Man: Homecoming – Peter’s Goal Is To Become An Avenger #movienews

Spider-Man: Homecoming is the third big screen version of Spider-Man, but one of the major differences between Tom Holland’s version and the rest is Peter’s ultimate goal of becoming an Avenger. Unlike the Tobey Maguire-led trilogy or the last two Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider-Man films, Holland has the unique – and long-awaited – advantage of being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s already debuted to bountiful praise in Captain America: Civil War, and is soon going to see Spider-Man: Homecoming launch his own franchise.

One of the biggest differences between Holland’s portrayal and those that came before is his age. The Marvel and Sony collaborated ...

Rough Night Trailer: The Disastrous Bachelorette Party Starts Now #movienews

If the hit comedy Bridesmaids was pitched as “The Hangover With Women,” then Rough Night, the comedy headed for screens this summer, is more “Very Bad Things With Women.” Much like the 1998 black comedy, directed by Peter Berg and starring Jon Favreau, Daniel Stern, and Christian Slater, Rough Night is the hard-R story of a pre-nuptial party in which the entertainment for the evening is accidentally killed. This time, of course, it’s a bachelorette party.

Starring a virtual murderer’s row of today’s popular female talent (Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, and Zoë Kravitz), Rough Night tells the story of a bachelorette party gone horribly awry, due to the accidental death of a male stripper. The film, directed by longtime Broad City writer and director Lucia Aniello, arrives in mid-June, and now we have another look at the upcoming comedy with

Batman and Harley Quinn Release Date & DVD/Blu-ray Features Revealed #movienews

More information has been revealed about the release of the upcoming DC Comics Batman & Harley Quinn animated film. The popularity of female heroes, anti-heroes, and villains has skyrocketed since actress Margot Robbie portrayed the unhinged character Harley Quinn in last year’s Suicide Squad. And that popularity looks as though it will continue to rise with the upcoming worldwide release of Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, which is already receiving rave reviews, and the upcoming Suicide Squad spinoff based on Gotham City Sirens featuring Quinn, Cat Woman, and Poison Ivy.

Now, after last April’s first look at the film and last week’s ...

Edge of Tomorrow 2 Concludes the Series; Includes 3rd Main Character #movienews

Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman says that the upcoming sequel will not only complete the franchise, it will also introduce a third primary human player into the mix. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt are already lined up to reprise their respective roles as futuristic U.S. military fighters Bill Cage and Rita Vrataski in Edge of Tomorrow 2 (also currently known as Live Die Repeat and Repeat), via a storyline that Liman has described as “a sequel that’s a prequel.” What exactly that means remains to be revealed, though it presumably has to do with the sci-fi, day-resetting plot devices that were ...

Tom Holland Wants Jake Gyllenhaal or Chris Pratt Cast in Uncharted Movie #movienews

Tom Holland has opened up about who he’d want to play Sully in Sony’s Uncharted film, mentioning big names like Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pratt. If there’s been one video game adaptation that Hollywood has truly struggled to get made throughout the years, it’s been Uncharted. After cycling through multiple different scripts and filmmakers, though, it looks like the Uncharted adaptation is finally starting to get some traction behind the scenes at the studio again, this time with Arrival and Stranger Things producer, Shawn Levy signed on as the film’s director.

Of course, there can be no Uncharted movie without Nathan Drake as its lead character. So after many years ...

The Conjuring 3 Would Not Be a ‘Haunted House’ Movie #movienews

The Conjuring 3 may be moving away from the haunted house location that defined the first two entries, should it happen. When The Conjuring released back in 2013, it grossed $318 million at the box office and proved to be a success with critics thanks to director James Wan’s conveyance of tone and genuine scares. The Conjuring 2, however, did something rarely heard of in horror sequels by not only surpassing the worldwide gross of the first film with $320 million (albeit it had a slightly bigger budget), but proving to be almost as popular in terms of both fan and critical reception.

Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown Auditioned for X-23 in Logan #movienews

Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown has revealed that she auditioned for the role on X-23 in director James Mangold’s Logan. As those who have seen Logan are well-aware the role of Laura aka. X-23 was instead filled by Brown’s fellow young breakout star Dafne Keen, whose feral presence combined with her diminutive stature has made for one of the most compelling performances in a comic book movie in recent memory.

Many viewers were likewise taken with Brown’s turn as the enigmatic Eleven in the surprise hit Netflix original series Stranger Things, and many more have noted more than a few striking similarities between Eleven and the version of Laura/X-23 featured in Logan. X-23 and Eleven are both young girls forced to come to terms with powers that make them living weapons in the eyes of nefarious organizations – and as such, it should perhaps come as no small surprise that ...

Gal Gadot Says Wonder Woman Could Beat Superman in a Fight #movienews

Gal Gadot recently said that she believes her Wonder Woman could beat Henry Cavill’s Superman in a fight. The actress made her highly-anticipated debut as Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice – the director’s follow-up to Man of Steel – last year. It also happened to be the live-action debut of the character on the big screen. It took 75 years, but it finally happened, and now Gadot will be reprising her role in Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman this year.

Since Wonder Woman is a solo film, Diana won’t be accompanied by any other superheroes, nor will she have to fight any of them. That has been a common thread recently (heroes fighting other heroes), in particular with last year’s Batman V Superman and Captain America: Civil ...
