It’s been one hell of a week for James Bond news and not all of it was good. First the prologue. People were speculating for a while that Daniel Craig might be out as 007 since the tremulous shooting and critical panning of the last Bond film, Spectre. Craig had no problem hiding his lack of interest in returning to the role and news of his replacement had ramped up. Actors like Tom Hardy, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, and classic fan-favorite Idris Elba were rumored to be up for the role. Craig decided to come back—probably after Paramount drove a…

Alfonso Cuarón has been chilling in the background of Hollywood for a while now since his Oscar win for 2013’s Gravity. Fans of Cuaron’s work have been eagerly waiting for the director’s next picture and a trailer for the highly anticipated film has finally hit online. Cuarón’s newest film, Roma, displays talent as an auteur director in full swing. https://youtu.be/sKVYRtE-kXI There is little to no dialogue in the trailer and the surface level of the story is shown through a series of beautiful shots. The of use black and white–instead of color–allows for the natural light to heighten the people and their…

Slender Man is garbage. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean bury the lead. Let me start over…Slender Man is still garbage. I know the trailer didn’t show anything promising or insinuate that it would be the best horror film ever, but I expected at least a tolerable job from the guy who directed Stomp the Yard, The Losers, and a couple of episodes of FX’s The Americans. Sadly, this film is more laughable than scary and more frustrating than watchable. You remember the Slender Man, right? The Reddit thread about a tall, lanky, no-face, pale humanoid that wore a suit and…

A peek into the newest joint from Cary Fukunaga, titled Maniac, has finally hit the internet waves and it looks like a serious mind trip. The man behind True Detective—the good season—and Netflix’s Beast of No Nation is coming back to Netflix with a new and creative show that will bend your mind to Fukunaga’s will. Fukunaga, who took a crack at the remake of It, brings together Jonah Hill and Emma Stone from her La La Land win for something that looks truly special. Damn its been ages since we’ve seen those together. The ten-episode series, set to be…

Creed was a critical and commercial success from director Ryan Coogler that no one expected. Many critics and fans were more than happy with this inclusion into the Rocky franchise and eagerly waited for any and all news for Creed 2.  The spin-off and sequel to the franchise that made Sylvester Stallone a household name finally gave actor Michael B. Jordan the recognition that had been long overdue. Finally, we got a trailer for Creed 2 dropped online earlier this year and now MGM has released official stills from the movie to tide the fans over until the movie hits…

Anyone that has sat through a Mission: Impossible film gets the gist of what they’re about. “Your mission, should you choose to accept it…”; check. Plot twist and betrayal; check. Stunts involving Tom Cruise that would make Evil Knievel shit his pants; check. Yet, there’s something else that comes along with these films that speaks volumes, and we’re not talking hair volume. Actually, yes, we are. Sure, every movie sees Cruise sporting a new do, but each installment in the franchise comes with a level of character growth that gives the film more layers than expected. Mission: Impossible (1996) In…

While attending San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, I was able to chat with 2000 AD’s Michael Molcher, about their upcoming projects that include the highly anticipated Judge Dredd series, Judge Dredd: Mega-City One. We also spoke about other potential characters they have lined up, and the recently announced Rogue Trooper movie coming from Duncan Jones. I was talking to one of your associates about Rogue Trooper. Michael: Yeah. And I know Duncan Jones just got announced as director for that film, so I was wondering – why did you guys decide to choose Duncan Jones or did he…

The Venom movie is a film that has the potential to be really good – or really bad. Some fans have cast some heavy doubt on the film, due to the fact that it won’t feature Spider-Man – who is a key character to Venom’s origin story. Whatever the case may be, the film’s last trailer brought some positive buzz back, minus the way symbiote was pronounced. The latest footage should also get people talking. Sadly, we don’t have it yet, but we do have a very detailed description of the San Diego Comic Con footage: Brock walks into a…

The upcoming Halloween movie took over Hall H at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, as part of the Universal panel which also featured the first trailer for Glass. While attending the panel, we learned quite a bit of interesting stuff about the film – as well as a clip from the film, in which we have a detailed description of. We can also safely say that fans of the original are definitely not going to be disappointed. The footage description: Kids are trick or treating. They bump into Michael Myers. This is all a tracking shot. Myers walks into…
