We reported a few weeks ago that director Ryan Coogler was in talks to direct Marvel’s upcoming movie, Black Panther, after his newest movie Creed became a smash-hit success. Well, the talking is over, and he is officially on-board to direct the movie. The movie was originally being offered to Selma director Ava DuVernay, but she turned it down earlier this year, apparently over creative differences with how the movie would progress. But now Ryan Coogler is going to be the one directing the movie. As a 29-year-old, he is probably extremely excited to be directing a mega-budget tentpole movie…

We might have some major plot spoilers for Batman v Superman on our hands. A user from Reddit was apparently invited to a test screening of the movie earlier, and is violating their NDA to spoil the movie for us. Should we take these spoilers as truth? Obviously not. There’s no way to confirm the validity of what this Reddit user is saying, so it could all be made up. But on the off-chance that there is actually some truth in the movie, here is what they said: “Hey DC_Cinematic, i’m using a throwaway account for obvious reasons, but I…

The debate has raged on for a decade about what order to watch the Star Wars saga in. Do you watch the movies in chronological order, from Episode I to Episode VI? Do you watch the movies in order of release, with the Original Trilogy and then the Prequel Trilogy? Or do you do a different order entirely? Well, George Lucas has weighed in with his answer: “Start with one. That’s the way to do it right: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That’s the way they’re supposed to be done. Just because it took a long time to film…

Daredevil and Jessica Jones were both smash hits, and Daredevil’s second season is going to be very soon upon us. But we can’t forget about the Luke Cage series that is also premiering next year. Mike Colter, who is playing the titular role in that series, talked about the show, saying that it “is going to have soul, it’s going to have intensity, it’s going to have dark parts to it.” So expect more quality entertainment. Also, referring to his iconic yellow shirt from the comics, Colter said: “I’m not saying that you’re going to see the yellow shirt, but…

Over the years, Leonardo DiCaprio has become one of the most revered actors of our time. Despite his never winning an Academy Award (though that will almost certainly change this year because of The Revenant), he has been extremely popular for the entirety of his acting career. DiCaprio is no stranger to playing roles in blockbuster movies, considering his roles in Inception, The Great Gatsby, and Titanic, but he has never played in any big franchises. The closest he’s ever come is when he played in The Man in the Iron Mask, which was adapted from a book in the…

Dimension Films, who has been making movies in the Halloween story for the past twenty years ever since the movie Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, no longer has the rights to the franchise to make any further films. While the Halloween franchise made eight films in less than 25 years in its original series, the movies started to falter near the end, and the series ceased after 2002’s Halloween Resurrection. Rob Zombie remade the movie in 2007 and then directed a sequel to it, but that series too faltered, much like the Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and…

Apparently, on the pay-walled “Take a Knee” podcast, original Spaceballs director Mel Brooks is very interested in making the long-awaited sequel, Spaceballs: The Search for More Money, and wants to film it now that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out now. Mel Brooks is getting up in his age, already 89, and hasn’t made a movie since the much-maligned Dracula: Dead and Loving It in the early 1990’s. In addition, original Spaceballs cast members like John Candy and Joan Rivers have died in the nearly thirty years since its release. Because of all of this, it isn’t quite certain…

Reboots and remakes and re-whatevers are usually not considered a good thing. They can be very difficult to defend as anything other than cash-grabs… But they aren’t always bad. Sometimes, these movies can actually be good– Look at Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies, or the Star Trek reboot, or Rise of the Planet of the Apes. So let’s look at some upcoming remakes that, if they actually end up happening, could potentially be just as good. 11. Akira Speaking of Christopher Nolan, the director famous for such mega-hits as Interstellar and Inception was rumored this summer to be in talks for…

The famous actress, who is currently the front-runner for the Best Actress Academy Award this year for her performance in the lesbian drama Carol, is rumored to be in talks for a role in Thor: Ragnarok. At age 46, and with Hollywood sexism being very ageist against women over 40, it’s doubtful that she’s going to be playing a role like, say, Captain Marvel, or any other prominent superhero that would last multiple movies. But she could play a villain like The Enchantress, or even a completely unexpected role. Thor: Ragnarok’s plot is currently a complete mystery, though we do…

Even though Gareth Edwards brought us Godzilla just last year in the grandest of fashions, the original Japanese studio Toho is rebooting the franchise in their own way after over a decade of silence. Toho’s last movie in the series, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, was celebrated as a finale to the series, but it was clear by the end that the series no longer had the cultural impact that made the original movies so memorable, so they decided to end it there and take a long hiatus. Well, that hiatus is finally over, and two years ahead of Hollywood’s Godzilla…
