Marvel’s ‘Cloak And Dagger’ Showrunner On The Darkforce Dimension And Telling The Comics Out Of Order [Interview] By Fred Topel/June 5, 2018 1:00 pm EST Marvel is slowly taking over all the television and streaming services. Launching Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC made sense since Disney owns both Marvel and the network. Then Netflix became home to their more adult shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and The Punisher....

Page 2: Could Daredevil Appear In Captain America: Civil War? [Fact Checking Speculation] By Peter Sciretta/June 9, 2015 2:30 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 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

Read Two Rumored ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Trailer Descriptions; Watch A Fan Made Trailer By Germain Lussier/Nov. 17, 2014 1:40 pm EST When will we see a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens? As we reported a few weeks back, before the end of the year is incredibly likely. The rumor mill is buzzing about people who’ve seen footage from the film now that J.J. Abrams has completed filming and it sounds like the director wants to give fans something soon....

Superhero Bits: The Avengers, Dark Knight Rises, Man Of Steel, Amazing Spider-Man, Elektra By Germain Lussier/April 5, 2012 2:15 pm EST Want to watch a car speed through the destruction of The Avengers? How about a new clip from The Amazing Spider-Man? How does the DP of The Dark Knight Rises describe the film? Does Morgan Freeman really not know anything about Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies? What lead a man dressed as Batman to get arrested on April Fools Day?...

Thanksgiving 2016: Here Are 15 Movies To Watch On Netflix For The Whole Holiday Weekend By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 24, 2016 9:00 am EST It’s that glorious time of year when we get together with both the family members we love (and some that we could probably do without) to sit down for a tasty meal and hopefully not a big fight. But with an extended weekend upon us, you’ll likely have plenty of spare time while you’re hanging out with family, and you’re just not in the mood to talk anymore....

This Week In Trailers: Grrl Scouts, Blood Cells, Documentary Now!, unReal, Famous Nathan By Christopher Stipp/June 21, 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?...

Where Can You See ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ In 70mm Or IMAX 3D Laser Projection? By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 11, 2015 8:00 am EST While director Quentin Tarantino had The Weinstein Company overhaul a bunch of theaters to be able to play his newest western The Hateful Eight in glorious 70mm for maximum effect, if you want to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in that format, that’s going to be much harder....

Why ‘Lady Bird’ And Its Awards Attention Feel So Important By Lindsey Romain/Jan. 19, 2018 2:00 pm EST Lady Bird is a big deal. It’s one of the best-reviewed films of all time, is raking in major awards nominations and wins (like its recent Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Musical/Comedy), has no shortage of famous fans (Stephen Colbert called it one of the best movies he’s ever seen), and has made writer/director Greta Gerwig the figurehead of a movement to better-respect female filmmakers and storytellers....

WTF: ScriptBook Will Predict If A Screenplay Will Make Money; Will Also Possibly, Maybe Trigger Nuclear Armageddon By Jacob Hall/Jan. 1, 2016 10:00 am EST Gather ‘round the campfire, young ones, but be silent and remain nimble. For the Hunter Killers are on patrol tonight and their motion sensors can detect movement. It is time we told ya a story. It was time we told ya how the world ended. For first, the machines came for our movies....

/Answers: Our Favorite Biopics Of All Time By /Film Staff/Oct. 11, 2017 11:30 am EST Every week in /Answers, we attempt to answer a new pop culture-related question. Tying in with the release of Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (which tells the story of how William Marston, Elizabeth Marston, and Olivia Byrne created Wonder Woman), this week’s edition asks “What is your favorite biopic, or movie about the life of a real person?...

‘Escape From Tomorrow’: A Feature Film Shot In Disney Theme Parks Without Disney’s Permission [Sundance 2013 Review] By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 21, 2013 9:30 am EST Independent film is filled with dreamers who are too naive to believe in the impossible — filmmakers who don’t concern themselves with the millions of reasons not to make a movie. Some of the best works of art are created from this naivety. Escape From Tomorrow is a movie that takes place during a family vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida....

‘Jay And Silent Bob Reboot’ Is Kevin Smith’s New Film, ‘Clerks III’ And ‘Mallrats 2’ Are Dead By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 10, 2017 11:00 am EST Over the past few years, Kevin Smith has branched out beyond what came to be known as his View Askewniverse film roster to try his hand at some different kinds of movies. There was the dark thriller Red State; the creepy thriller Tusk; and the hodgepodge of Clerks, Canada, and Gremlins with Nazi sausages that was Yoga Hosers....

Krypton finally gets a monster-of-the-week Personally, I’d been hoping Krypton would establish some kind of mode of operations for itself, and the monster-of-the-week is the surest bet for a show like this. Maybe it’s cliched, but this set-up is classic for a reason; it allows for the show to have a definite point of view each week and gives the audience something to latch onto. For a show like Krypton, clearly defined goals are a godsend....

‘Monster Trucks’ Early Buzz: Just How Bad Is This Movie? By Angie Han/Dec. 27, 2016 10:00 am EST Nearly three years after it started shooting, Monster Trucks is finally getting ready to pull into theaters. And while we’d normally say something hopeful here about the possibility of it being worth the wait, the truth is that expectations for this movie couldn’t be lower. Not only is Paramount Pictures dumping it in the doldrums of January here in the U....

‘My Idiot Brother’ – A Lovable Family Dramedy [Sundance Review] By David Chen/Jan. 24, 2011 6:00 pm EST In my limited experience at Sundance, it seems like journalists and studios alike are always looking for “The Big One,” that is, that film like Little Miss Sunshine that will capture the hearts of Americans and (with the proper marketing) go on to rake in over $100 million at the box office....

‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Review By Russ Fischer/Aug. 7, 2011 6:14 pm EST Andy Serkis’ work in Rise of the Planet of the Apes locks his position amongst legendary ‘monster’ actors such as Lon Chaney, Sr, Lon Chaney, Jr. and Boris Karloff. That might not seem to be the greatest compliment at first; that roster of actors shouldn’t be marginalized so. I think all would bristle at being considered as performers we take seriously only when they work behind makeup and prosthetics or their digital equivalents....

‘The Babadook’ Review: A Hellishly Intense Vision Of Horror And Grief By Russ Fischer/Nov. 26, 2014 5:00 pm EST (Note: this review originally ran in January during the Sundance Film Festival; we’ve republished it now as the film opens in theaters and on VOD this weekend.)The Babadook is one of the best horror movies in years, a vigorous and hellishly intense story about a family on the edge of sanity. This isn’t a gore showcase, but a wild emotional roller coaster....

‘The Beguiled’ Director Sofia Coppola On Making Gothic Drama And Avoiding The Original [Interview] By Jack Giroux/June 30, 2017 10:00 am EST With The Beguiled, Sofia Coppola has made her first adaptation and remake. The filmmaker’s retelling has little in common with Don Siegel’s 1971 film, though. Coppola was more interested in adapting Thomas P. Cullinan’s A Painted Veil than remaking Siegel’s movie, which features a drastically different depiction of the all-girls school, led by Miss Martha (Nicole Kidman), and their guest, the soldier (Colin Farrell)....
