After starring as Barry Allen aka The Flash in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Ezra Miller is set to play another unique figure, the Spanish painter Salvador Dalí.

Ten years ago, Miller landed his first feature role in Antonio Campos’ Afterschool, an indie drama that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Why Official Shazam! Suit Photo Hasn’t Been Released: ‘Plans Changed’ #movienews

The official first look at Shazam! has yet to come because plans changed. After a shaky start, there’s reason to be excited for what the DC movie universe has coming up. One of those reasons is how it appears Shazam! is shaping up. Production is coming to a close now, but director David F. Sandberg has preached a lighter tone when compared to previous DC movies. The premise lends itself nicely to that take with a group of young kids at the center. It’s Billy Batson (Asher Angel) who has the unique ability to turn into Shazam, transforming him into a grown man with superpowers.

It appears Lucasfilm removed Colin Trevorrow from Star Wars: Episode IX over issues with his first draft. While the box office success of Disney’s new Star Wars movies can’t be denied, the studio has developed something of an image problem when it comes to working with directors. Tony Gilroy has since confirmed he was brought on to fix director Gareth Edwards Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, with the film apparently being a ‘mess‘ and in ‘terrible trouble‘ when he came onboard in post-production to oversee extensive reshoots and re-editing.

Fans of the franchise shouldn’t panic, however, as the popular attraction, much like the animals in the films, is evolving into something stronger – a new ride based on Jurassic World.

First opening in June 1996, Jurassic Park – The Ride redefined theme-park thrill-rides as as much as as the original Jurassic Park film set a new standard for digital special effects in film. Utilizing a combination of cutting-edge mechanics, space-age robotics, and hydraulic physics, the ride was widely praised and hailed as a triumph of artistic showmanship and technical achievement. With the assistance of a group of scientists, including paleontologists and aerospace engineers, the team at Universal Creative (the division of Universal Studios which oversees Universal Studios’ theme park attractions) was able to create ...

The latest released clip from Solo: A Star Wars Story finally shines a light on villain Enfys Nest, debunking a key fan theory in the process.

An actor for the role was never officially announced, which led some to believe there was some kind of major plot twist involving Enfys. After all, Lucasfilm is a well-oiled machine, and they wouldn’t hold Enfys back to this extent without good reason. Coupled with the fact Nest is allegedly a woman, viewers thought they had things figured out.

It has since emerged that Tarantino’s script explores the state of things in Hollywood and Los Angeles circa 1969, with the Manson murders serving as the backdrop for a story about a former western TV show star and his longtime stunt double.

Leonardo DiCaprio is playing said faded TV star, Rick Dalton, opposite ...

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote Loses American Distribution #movienews

After nearly 20 spasmodic years in development hell, Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is facing more trouble yet again after losing American distribution. Set to release on May 19, it’s unclear when – or if – it will be available for American audiences.

Behind-the-scenes drama plaguing The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is two decades in the making, and recent issues regarding production, as well as the film’s release, have proven to offer the movie very little hope. The story revolves around a movie-within-a-movie involving Jonathan Pryce as an actor who becomes convinced that he actually is the man he’s playing on screen, Miguel de Cervantes’ fictional Don Quixote. Adam Driver plays an ...

Newest Solo: A Star Wars Story Clip Confirms Plot Details #movienews

A newly released clip from Solo: A Star Wars Story depicts Han crossing paths with criminals Tobias Beckett and Val, looking for a piece of their latest score. In contrast from previous films in the franchise, which focus on a war between good and evil, Solo takes viewers into the galactic underworld and operates more as a gangster picture than anything else. The narrative sees a young, idealistic Han Solo look to make a name for himself amongst the universe’s unsavory types. He finds himself under the wing of Beckett, a Long John Silver type who’s frequently unlucky.

Mentor/mentee relationships have been a part of Star Wars from the beginning, so it’ll be interesting to see how Han and Beckett’s dynamic unfolds over the course of the film. In the beginning at least, they’re going to be somewhat at odds with each other, as evidenced by the ...

Mark Wahlberg’s Six Billion Dollar Man Loses Director #movienews

The upcoming Mark Wahlberg film The Six Billion Dollar Man continues to have problems, as there are reports that the movie has lost the director just before it’s due to start filming. The reboot of the classic ’70s sci-fi series The Six Million Dollar Man has been delayed before and suffered plenty of setbacks, with this being another one to recover from if Warner Bros. still want to make the scheduled release date.

The project has been ongoing since at least 1995 when Universal were developing a screenplay for a straightforward remake, but the rights then slid to Dimension Pictures. Jim Carey was linked to a comedy re-telling of the story, which ...

Deadpool 2 Mocks Marvel’s #ThanosDemandsYourSilence Campaign #movienews

Ryan Reynolds, star and producer of Deadpool 2, sends out a plea for fans not to spoil the sequel as a joke mocking Avengers: Infinity War‘s #ThanosDemandsYourSilence campaign. Josh Brolin, who plays Cable and Thanos, isn’t the only thing in common between Reynolds’ second go as the Merc with a Mouth and Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War, as now, the two movies also have the same way of pleading with fans not to ruin the experience of watching the film by spoiling it for others.

Last month, just before Infinity War premiered in Los Angeles, directors Joe and Anthony Russo launched a campaign called #ThanosDemandsYourSilence requesting people saw the film early not to spoil it for those who hadn’t seen it yet. The duo accompanied ...

Dave Bautista Improvised Drax’s Funniest Infinity War Line #movienews

In Avengers: Infinity War, actor Dave Bautista improvised Drax’s funniest line in the movie. While Drax has been known to break dramatic tension in some scenes with his comedic quips, this line in particular was a notable standout.

Since his introduction in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax has showcased a perfect balance of brute strength and abrupt humor. However, while the former characteristic is obvious, the latter stems from an inability to read certain behaviors and emotions, like sarcasm and figures of speech. As a result, taking everything literally often leads to some amusing comedic gags. So, despite the drama pumping through Infinity War, Drax still manages to undercut the heavy ...

Wendy’s Burns McDonald’s With Savage Infinity War Meme #movienews

SPOILERS for Avengers: Infinity War ahead.

Fast food chain Wendy’s just released a hilarious burn of McDonald’s inspired by Avengers: Infinity War in the form of a savage meme. The meme directly references a scenario that takes place during the movie’s final act.

In a clever social media marketing strategy, Wendy’s is capitalizing off of Infinity War’s success by using a pivotal moment from the movie as a form of negative campaigning against their competition, McDonald’s. In the final moments of Infinity War, after Thanos successfully utilizes the power of all six Infinity Stones and wipes out half the universe, various members of the Avengers fade into dust. Characters like T’Challa/Black Panther, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Groot slowly disappear ...

Marvel Wanted The Duplass Brothers to Direct a Movie #movienews

It turns out Marvel wanted Jay and Mark Duplass to direct a movie for them. The Duplass brothers are rather prolific artists who have created two HBO TV shows (Togetherness, Room 104) and written, directed and/or starred in several noteworthy indie films over the past decade (Baghead, Jeff Who Lives at Home, Creep, and so on). They’re also the sort of outside the box choices to direct a big budget superhero movie that Marvel Studios has increasingly gone with for its Marvel Cinematic Universe films in recent years.

At this point, the list of filmmakers that passed on MCU movies is as interesting and varied as the list of those who ...

A Botanist Attempts to Settle the Groot Debate for Good #movienews

Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Avengers: Infinity War!

A botanist and Guardians of the Galaxy fan has attempted to settle the debate over whether Baby Groot is Groot’s son. Guardians director, James Gunn, turned the internet on its head when he explained to fans that Baby Groot isn’t Groot reincarnated but rather Groot’s son. The first Groot died in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1. His heroic sacrifice was, indeed, a sacrifice. The Groot that has continued to grow from Vol. 2 to Infinity War is brand new.

Gunn’s revelation completely re-contextualized the Guardians of the Galaxy series and put Groot into a ...
