ScreenGeek had the honor of attending Variety’s ’10 Actors To Watch’ event at this year’s Newport Beach Film Festival. One person among the crowd of talented people in the film industry was actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Best known from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and All About Nina, she is set to play as Huntress in the new DCEU film Birds of Prey (and The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). ScreenGeek was able to catch up with her on the red carpet to see how filming was coming along on the DCEU movie: You’ll be playing…

Avengers: Endgame is the name that was finally given to the previously unnamed Avengers 4. The name flashed across the screen during the trailer that was finally released; one that everyone has been waiting for. The release of the Avengers: Endgame trailer was supposed to be released sooner, with industry insiders swearing date after date. The Russo brothers hosted a screening of Avengers: Infinity War on November 28th, which had many people speculating they would debut the trailer then. They did not. Finally, it was set to be released earlier this week. However, George H.W. Bush passed away, which delayed…

Clive Barker’s remake of Hellraiser would have seen a change in the villainous Pinhead. Originally debuting in 1987, it was an instant classic. Based on Barker’s novella, The Hellhound Heart, it follows a man who has escaped from hell after opening a mysterious puzzle box. His love, who also happens to be his brother’s wife, feeds bodies to him so he can regenerate. The demons who tormented him find their way to him and drag him back. Barker’s gory and very graphic vision was shocking to audiences. They were introduced to Pinhead (Doug Bradley), and though his role was minimal…

World War Z 2 will start shooting in June. This project has been on the table for quite some time. When director David Fincher (Seven, Gone Girl) came on board last year, it seemed to gain momentum. However, he had a prior commitment to film season two of Mindhunter. Producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner were fielding questions at the premiere of Beautiful Boy. On the red carpet, Variety asked for an update on World War Z 2, and they sounded optimistic. The answer Gardner offered up was, “We’re starting to shoot in June.” June is eight months from now,…

Venom is one of the most reviled villains in Spider-Man’s world. While we were introduced to him on the screen in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, there wasn’t enough there to really get the depth of his and Spider-Man’s—we’ll call it contempt—for each other. Tom Hardy stars as Venom in the new Venom movie, and there is so much Venom, there will actually not be any room for any Spider-Man. While at the press junket, Hardy invoked Venom’s disdain for Spider-Man by questioning his full hero potential. So, what exactly does Hardy think is holding Spider-Man back? His suit. Actually, the…

The Dead Center is part of the thriller genre, and though I generally stay away from this type of film for the huge disappointment they tend to be these days, I took a chance on this one. The summary in the “About The Film” section on the LA Film Festival website caught my attention, but it still felt like it encompassed some old thriller tropes that have been done before, and I was on the fence. The story is about a man who wakes up in a body bag and wanders into the hospital’s psychiatric ward. No one knows his…

April (Hannah Marks) was a typical girl in high school. She was friends with a guy, Nick (Dylan Sprouse), but they both realized they wanted to be more. They date for two years, but when the weight of impending college plans that are on opposite sides of the continent becomes too much to bear, they split. April is heartbroken, but Nick moves on immediately to date a girl named Clara (Liana Liberato). Soon after, April and Clara meet at a house party and become unlikely friends. The description I’ve just given makes Banana Split sound like some high school drama…

Frank Underwood, the main character in House of Cards and played by Kevin Spacey, was a man set on getting what he wanted out of life. He became the 46th President after waves of scandals he himself set into motion like the world’s most intricate game of chess. Sometimes he would lose, but he won a lot, too. However, once you get to the top, there really isn’t anywhere else to go but down. And down he went—straight into the ground. Netflix’s new House of Cards Season 6 trailer was finally released, and there is no denying the fate of…

James Gunn is no longer directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 because of tweets he posted a few years ago, leaving an open position for the taking. One thing has been made clear recently; the former Daredevil showrunner won’t be taking the job. Steven S. DeKnight, who was the showrunner for the first season of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix, spoke out on social media saying he wouldn’t be the director for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 if he was ask. “I would politely decline. No way in hell I could come close to what James Gunn has accomplished, the…
