Internet Leak Leads To Radical Repairs To McG’s Terminator By Brendon Connelly/March 22, 2009 10:34 am EST When a pretty darn serious spoiler for Terminator: Salvation shocked our collective socks off last year, the web-head reaction was divided. Was it real? And, supposing it was, was it a good ending? Was this the kind of climax fans would want? It soon started to look like the big twist finale of the film really had been unveiled and, therefore, a lot of whumph had been sucked out of McG’s punch....

James Cameron Talks About 3D ‘Titanic’ Conversion, Threatens Again To Convert ‘Terminator 2’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 19, 2010 1:45 pm EST What’s the best use for post-converted 3D? If you’re James Cameron, the answer is obvious: it should be applied to bring established classic films into the 21st century. The director is planning a 3D conversion of his mega-hit Titanic to be released in 2012, on the centennial anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic....

James Gunn Responds To ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Mary Jane Casting Uproar By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 22, 2016 7:00 am EST Even though director James Gunn has a comfortable home at Marvel Studios after directing Guardians of the Galaxy and the forthcoming sequel, he has no involvement with Spider-Man: Homecoming. However, Gunn takes it upon himself now and then to keep the rumor mill controlled and comic book fan rage in check. So when a rumor recently pegged black actress Zendaya as playing the traditionally white, redhead character of Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man: Homecoming, the sadly unsurprising anger at this casting decision prompted James Gunn to respond....

Possible Movie Talk Already By Devindra Hardawar/Dec. 5, 2009 9:20 pm EST Mark Millar (Wanted, Kick Ass) is such a hot property these days that the mere mention of a new project from him has Hollywood-types chomping at the bit.

By Russ Fischer/Jan. 22, 2012 1:23 pm EST Last night the Producers Guild of America (PGA) gave out awards for achievement in films and television released in 2011.

The ‘Confederate’ Team Defends The HBO Show Against The Backlash By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 21, 2017 10:30 am EST Confederate seemed like an intriguing premise for an HBO series: an alternate-history science fiction show depicting an America where the South had won the Civil War, created by the showrunners of the huge fantasy hit Game of Thrones? How bold, how avant garde, how…revolutionary. But perhaps HBO didn’t anticipate the severe outrage that the announcement of the show would incite....

Rotten Tomatoes critics! No, I’m kidding. It’s actually The Penguin. The DCEU is in a weird state right now.

They’re Still Threatening Us With A ‘Suspiria’ Remake, But At Least They’re Promising Tilda Swinton And Dakota Johnson By Jacob Hall/March 2, 2016 1:00 pm EST You should look upon any remake of Dario Argento’s horror masterpiece Suspiria with a certain amount of caution and distrust. Like the sinister, hiding-in-plain-sight villains of the original film, this remake is saying all of the right things and doing its best to pull you into a hellish trap from which you cannot escape....

Universal Casts Taylor Lautner In Stretch Armstrong 3D. Seriously. By Russ Fischer/Feb. 5, 2010 7:47 pm EST Yeah, you read that headline correctly. Somehow it makes sense that the kid who was in one of the early unnecessary entries of the current wave of 3D movies, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl 3D, will now topline one of the latest unnecessary entries in the current wave of 3D movies. But while Taylor Lautner starring in a 3D Stretch Armstrong film may make a vaguely weird sort of sense from that slim perspective, we don’t have to like it....

What To Read And Watch After Seeing ‘Black Panther’ By Tre Johnson/Feb. 16, 2018 11:00 am EST Like most of the waking world, you’ve probably been counting down to the release of Marvel’s Black Panther movie, which hits theaters today. Black Panther has struck a unique chord with culture right now; coming not only at a time when there’s a deeper, unrelenting discussion about Hollywood’s diversity issues, but also against a wider backdrop around the political and social climate for Blacks in America....

‘Ant-Man And The Wasp’ Interview: Paul Rudd Talks About The “Weird” Sequel By Ben Pearson/June 18, 2018 12:00 pm EST On a nice September day at Pinewood Studios outside of Atlanta, a handful of journalists and I spoke with one of Marvel’s smallest superheroes on the set of Ant-Man and the Wasp. The effervescent Paul Rudd, who often radiates boundless energy on screen, seemed, well, a little exhausted. It’s hard to blame him – at the time, he was in the middle of filming two major Marvel movies simultaneously, bouncing back and forth between the set of Ant-Man and the Wasp and the Russo Brothers’ Avengers 4 (which was also filming at the same production facility)....

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Will Feature 67(!) Different Characters By Angie Han/Jan. 12, 2016 4:00 pm EST Last year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron was a big, sprawling movie with a gigantic cast, and this year’s Captain America: Civil War doesn’t look much slimmer. But they may be small potatoes compared to Avengers: Infinity War. According to directors Joe and Anthony Russo, the two-part epic features a whopping 67 characters. Of course, that doesn’t mean all 67 characters will be equally prominent in Avengers: Infinity War, and the directors indicate that it’ll be an opportunity for some of the “supporting Avengers” to come to the forefront....
