Another week and another set of trailers for your eyeballs to enjoy. They range from sharks, to a couple of “DICKS” in the 1970s to the world of illegal drugs. Sounds like a Nicolas Cage film? Well, we have him too. Enjoy. Urge Jerry Stahl writes this alluring story about a group of friends looking for a good time that gets caught up in the sexy, wild side of drugs.

Rumbles around Hollywood were showing that the candidates for a young Han Solo were on the horizon and now it’s official, thanks to Hollywood Reporter. The website tells us that Alden Ehrenreich, who came on the scene with The Cohen Brothers’ latest film Hail, Cesar!, has been chosen to play the young version of everybody’s favorite space smuggler.

There were quite a few trailers released recently. We decided to rummage through the pile and select a few that you might want to check out. Here they are: X-Men: Apocalypse (Final Trailer) So, Fox has released the final, final trailer to their comic book franchise. In it, we get more of the action and better shots of the character.

I’m glad they finally decided to bring out…

Devin Faraci of Birth.Movies.Death is now reporting that WB execs are clashing with Zack Synder over his creative take on Justice League. Faraci goes states: “Sources at WB tell me that this is just one part of what’s going on behind the scenes at the DC movieverse. Zack Snyder and Geoff Johns were taken aback at critical and audience reaction to Batman v Superman, I’m told, and WB execs have found themselves at odds with…
Palahniuk has a very impressive collection of stories that have gathered a very strong cult following. So much so that it spawned two films (Fight Club and Choke) and many others have been in development for years. While speaking to Comic Book Resources about his 10-issue series of Fight Club 2, Palahniuk let it slip that his novel Snuff was being adapted for the small screen. “‘Snuff’ has been in development for a while,” Palahniuk revealed. “They just got financing from StudioCanal for producing it as a television series. So they’re producing a season’s worth of episodes for a series…
Happytime Murders is one of those movies that the plot sounds so awesome, that it’s too good to be true. I remember hearing about this movie back in the days of G4 TV and announced on Attack of the Show, which almost seems like a lifetime ago. The film was to be rated R, produced by Jim Henson Company and would involve puppets and humans alike sharing a world like ours. That includes murder, sex, drugs and all the fixings that come with it. The story follows puppet stars of an iconic TV show The Happytime Gang who are some…
Guy Ritchie’s second go at the British Gangster genre (his first being Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) is being produced by Sony as a ten episode miniseries for their streaming service Crackle. A spokesperson for the production said that the show will have the same feel as the TV series Fargo, with the show taking place in the same world but with a different story. When the spokesperson was asked how UK viewers were to get their hands on the show, since Crackle is not available, the spokesperson answered that the show will probably be made available in the…
A lot of trailers hit the web. We critique some of them for you. Jason Bourne This franchise sells itself, and the trailer backs that up completely. There have been new plot twists every step of the way, but the last film seemed to be it for Bourne. Now there’s a fifth one coming, and the intrigue is as strong as it has ever been. Jason Bourne (Damon) finally remembers his past, and Nicky Parsons (Stiles) is caught up in trying to help. Along with the familiar faces in unfamiliar situations, the trailer is put together in a way that…
