Jordan Vogt-Roberts Explains How His King Kong Throws Back To The 1933 Movie Monster By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 10, 2016 2:30 pm EST This morning we got a new look at King Kong in a new still from Kong: Skull Island. The new film from Kings of Summer director Jordan Vogt-Roberts is set in the 1970s, but has ties to the modern day reboot of Godzilla from 2014. The two monsters are slated to eventually go head-to-head on the big screen in 2020, but before that, we get to see the King of Apes unleashed on a group of explorers....

Marvel Land Coming To Disney California Adventure In 2020; See The First Concept Art (Including Black Panther) By Peter Sciretta/March 20, 2018 1:10 pm EST When Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout was announced to be taking over The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride, Disney Imagineers not-so-subtly hinted that this would be the beginning of a new Marvel-themed land coming to the Disneyland Resort’s Disney California Adventure theme park....

New ‘It’ Photos: Pennywise Meets The Losers Club By Ben Pearson/March 27, 2017 3:00 pm EST I’m about 50 pages away from finishing Stephen King’s 1986 novel It, and holy crap, this book is tremendous. Without hyperbole, it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. Rarely have I read a novel in which I’ve felt so firmly in the grip of a master storyteller – and I wasn’t crazy about the first Dark Tower book, so that praise isn’t coming from a fawning King devotee, either....

Oscar Isaac ‘Ex Machina’ Interview: How Stanley Kubrick Influenced His Character, Plus Star Wars And X-Men By Germain Lussier/April 10, 2015 12:30 pm EST Fans love to complain that good sci-fi isn’t released any longer. Alex Garland’s Ex Machina, however, is good sci-fi. The passage of time may even turn it into great sci-fi. The film stars Oscar Isaac as Nathan, a billionaire savant who created a fictional analog to Google....

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....

Shane Black’s ‘The Nice Guys’ With Russell Crowe And Ryan Gosling Set For Summer 2016 By Russ Fischer/Sept. 2, 2014 11:00 am EST The last time writer/director Shane Black and producer Joel Silver worked together, the result was the very funny neo-noir Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which helped re-launch the career of Robert Downey, Jr. After festival appearances the film was given a low-profile fall rollout by Warner Bros., and it flew under the radar of most moviegoers....

In this edition: we revisit the films of Amblimation, the short-lived animation arm of Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment.)When you stroll down your personal movie memory lane, certain titles bring you back to a specific place and time....

This Week In Trailers: Wingmen, A Faster Horse, Bleak Street, Tired Moonlight, Nasty Baby By Christopher Stipp/Sept. 20, 2015 8:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

Wes Anderon’s Hotel Chevalier On iTunes By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 24, 2007 1:35 pm EST Update: The short film is NOW available online. We’ve talked at length about the 17-minute Wes Anderson short film Hotel Chevalier which supposedly features a nude Natalie Portman and (a non-nude) Jason Schartzman in a semi-prequel to The Darjeeling Limited.

‘Black Panther’ Review: Marvel’s Latest Adventure Is A Triumph By Jazmine Joyner/Feb. 16, 2018 7:00 am EST I have never felt the way I do right now after watching a movie. Black Panther was so much more than I thought it would be. As a Black woman who has loved film her entire life, I know how much representation matters and I’ve never seen a movie on the scale of Black Panther....

‘Bond 25’ Loses Director Danny Boyle Over “Creative Differences” [Updated] By Jacob Hall/Aug. 21, 2018 10:34 am EST In news that is somehow simultaneously shocking and not-at-all surprising, director Danny Boyle has departed Bond 25. The untitled 007 adventure, the 25th entry in the long-running espionage and action series, was set to go before cameras later this year. No replacement has been announced. The news was announced, of all places, on the official James Bond Twitter account....

‘The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug’ Review: Pacing Issues Dampen A Rousing Return To Middle Earth By Germain Lussier/Dec. 10, 2013 4:30 pm EST The second of Peter Jackson’s trilogy of films adapting The Hobbit, The Desolation of Smaug, both improves on the previous film, and regresses from some of its achievements. In 2012’s An Unexpected Journey, Jackson stretched the story of The Hobbit to a breaking point. Sequences that were mere blips in the book became much longer, hurting the pacing immensely....

Best Movies Of 2010 That You Probably Haven’t Heard Of By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 23, 2011 8:30 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. I wanted to do something different and compile a list of the best films of the year that you’ve never heard of. The selections should be movies that (for the most part) none of your family or friends have heard of, and you might even have to do some extra legwork to get your hands on....

Charlize Theron On The Future Of ‘Atomic Blonde’, ‘Mad Max’, James Bond And Female Characters By Ethan Anderton/July 28, 2017 11:30 am EST One of the panels that went overlooked at San Diego Comic-Con amidst all the major news and trailers from the rest of the convention was Entertainment Weekly’s own “Women Who Kick Ass” panel. Usually, the panel features an ensemble of tough, badass women from movies and television, but this year’s panel focused on just one: Charlize Theron....
