Fans Want Elsa To Get A Girlfriend In ‘Frozen 2’; Marvel Directors Discuss “Strong Chance” Of An LGBT Character By Angie Han/May 4, 2016 1:00 pm EST Disney’s heavy-hitting franchises are slowly getting more diverse. The Force Awakens has more female and non-white characters in speaking roles than the first three Star Wars movies combined. Captain America: Civil War introduces a new black superhero this weekend (and he’s getting his own movie in 2018)....

Guardians Of The Galaxy Concept Art Reveals Star-Lord’s Unseen Comic Book Origins By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 6, 2014 9:25 am EST We love concept art. Conceptual artists usually present the most stunning version of the ideas presented in a screenplay, and often are much more beautiful than computer generated imagery in the movies themselves. And sometimes concept art gets to reveal a version of the movie that we didn’t get to see on the big screen....

Interview: ‘Pete’s Dragon’ Director David Lowery On Not Reading Reviews And The Toughest Days On Set By Jack Giroux/Dec. 2, 2016 8:00 am EST David Lowery’s Pete’s Dragon is a simple, beautiful and warm tale of friendship. It’s a refreshingly sparse story that hardly resembles the original Disney film. Lowery and co-writer Toby Halbrooks lifted very little from the ‘77 musical; they made a movie that stands on its own and doesn’t rely at all on nostalgia....

Interview: ‘Shut Eye’ Creator Les Bohem On ‘‘Breaking Good’’ With His New Hulu Drama By Fred Topel/Dec. 6, 2016 11:00 am EST Les Bohem created Shut Eye. Bohem’s name graced many ’90s movie posters as the screenwriter of Dante’s Peak, Daylight, Nowhere to Run and 1989’s A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. We spoke with Bohem about the world of Shut Eye just before Hulu’s panel for the Television Critics Association....

After the screening, he answered a bunch questions. We have compiled a few interesting excerpts below from Collider’s transcript. Buzz Aldrin is actually involved (appears) in the film, modern day....

Movie Review: Star Trek By Brendon Connelly/April 20, 2009 5:00 am EST JJ Abrams’ new Star Trek probably deserves that funny ‘reboot’ label more than any of the other films so far stamped with it, actually seeming to have been conceived from that very concept outwards. I truly wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the picture’s central plot device was born in discussions of how to restart and repeat the franchise once more, how to deliver a new series essentially the same as the old one but also crucially, and marketability, different....

New ‘Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets’ Images Confirm That Yep, This Is Definitely A Luc Besson Movie By Jacob Hall/March 25, 2016 8:30 am EST Luc Besson has only directed two movies that can be considered full-on science fiction, but they’re doozies. What Lucy lacks in brains, it more than makes up for in style and total insanity. And The Fifth Element is, of course, one of the wildest exercises in genre imagination to emerge from the ’90s....

New Sony TVs Will Come With “Netflix Calibrated Mode” To Display Content As Filmmakers Intended By Ben Pearson/Aug. 4, 2018 10:00 am EST Historically, television manufacturers have not cared about the intentions of filmmakers when it comes to how movies and TV shows are displayed on different TV models. In fact, with the introduction of the dreaded motion smoothing effect, they’ve been actively degrading the quality of the consumer’s experience in relation to how directors and cinematographers want people to watch their work....

Oscars 2018: These People Were Left Out Of The In Memoriam Segment; The Razzies Had Their Own Montage By Ben Pearson/March 5, 2018 11:30 am EST Last night’s 90th Academy Awards was thankfully devoid of any colossal mistakes that rivaled last year’s infamous Moonlight mix-up, but the Academy didn’t wrap up the night completely unscathed. There were a handful of glaring omissions from the “In Memoriam” segment, and we’ll run through a list of names below who should have been honored alongside their fallen peers....

Page 2: Goonies, Beetle Juice, Star Wars, Spring Breakers, Karate Kid, Superbad, Transformers, Ghostbusters By Peter Sciretta/March 21, 2013 2:00 pm EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 46 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

Page 3 By Brendon Connelly/Oct. 28, 2009 7:09 am EST You “might” want to check out the upcoming Mighty Mouse DVD for some early work by Wall-E and Finding Nemo mastermind Andrew Stanton. TV Shows on DVD have details of the release. And, yes, I made that pun. You aren’t dreaming. Page 3 is the eccentric little brother of Page 2 and compiles even more stories which, for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film....

Quiet Places And Creepy Families: The Year In Horror So Far By Matt Donato/July 10, 2018 10:00 am EST With June now behind us, it’s time for a halfway report on the first six months of horror cinema that have set this year’s stage ablaze. A chance to reflect on what’s stunned audiences, charmed critics and defined 2018 thus far in terms of thrills endured. Six months of screams attached by a common thread that’s become substantially prevalent with each passing day....

Ranking Every Single Adversary Spider-Man Has Battled On The Big Screen By Matt Donato/July 7, 2017 10:00 am EST When I first pitched my idea to rank all the villains in the Spider-Man movies thus far, I was thinking small – I’d pound out a feature about the biggest bads in Peter Parker’s life and have a little fun. “Sure thing!” said /Film managing editor Jacob Hall. But then he added: “In addition to the major villains, make this stupidly comprehensive....
