George Miller Is Here With Your Next Hit Of ‘Mad Max’ Sequel News, You Junkie By Jacob Hall/Nov. 3, 2015 8:30 am EST There have been more than a few hugely successful blockbusters this year, but Mad Max: Fury Road is the one that lingers in the brain. It doesn’t just touch a nerve – it grabs each of your nerves and squeezes. Warner Bros. tossing a post-apocalyptic action movie into the Oscar race sounds insane, but it’s head-and-shoulders above most of the sure-thing awards nominees right now....

Josh Brolin Turned Down ‘Avatar’ Sequels And James Cameron Was Pissed By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 10, 2017 9:30 am EST Not only is director James Cameron being quite ambitious by planning four Avatar sequels that are being shot back-to-back, but he’s making some surprising choices for his cast. While it was expected that Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana would reprise their roles as Jake Sully, in his Na-vi avatar body, and the Pandora native Neytiri, we’ve since learned that in addition to Sigourney Weaver returning as a new character, the deceased villains played by Stephen Lang and Matt Gerald will somehow be coming back as the same characters....

Screenwriter Max Landis Wrote A 150-Page Ode To Carly Rae Jepsen – And It’s Brilliant Storytelling By C. Robert Cargill/Sept. 15, 2017 10:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Max Landis is a writer’s writer. While his subject matter is thoroughly accessible, he isn’t the type of guy you hire for your standard studio fare. The screenwriter behind films like Chronicle, American Ultra, and Bright is obsessed with structure, with word play, with the subversion of tropes and clichés....

See ‘Saving Mr. Banks’ On The Disney Backlot In Burbank, CA By Germain Lussier/Nov. 19, 2013 10:00 am EST Plenty of movies are made in studios, but Saving Mr. Banks is different. Besides shooting scenes inside sound stages, many scenes were shot outside at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA, too, on the walking paths current Disney employees frequent going to work. That’s because those walkways are where the true story of P....

See ‘The Wire’ HD Remaster Compared To Original Presentation By Russ Fischer/Dec. 5, 2014 1:15 pm EST We started to get bent out of shape earlier this week when HBO announced that the aspect ratio of The Wire HD remasters would be set at 16:9 rather than the original 4:3 broadcast ratio. Series creator David Simon quickly weighed in to provide a great deal of information on the remaster process, and we learned that in most cases these remasters would be using more information from the original camera negative, rather than cropping information from the top and/or bottom of the original presentation....

Abrams’ Star Trek 2, George Takei says you’re out of luck. If you’ve been waiting to see Emma Thompson step back into her Oscar-nominated role from In the Name of the Father as real-life human rights lawyer Gareth Peirce, on the other hand, things are looking up....

The Best Movies And Shows Coming To Netflix In March 2016 By Jack Giroux/Feb. 23, 2016 6:30 am EST Did anyone else spend his or her time this weekend binge-watching Love? Did anyone else watch it twice on Netflix? I did, because the relationship comedy is just that good, and also because I’m not sure how to feel about the season finale yet. It’s a great and honest show, and one to watch right away if you haven’t yet....

The Ultimate 3D Movie Preview And Release Date Schedule By Peter Sciretta/July 14, 2009 9:00 am EST While I was writing an article on Monday about how the 3D per screen ticket sales were in decline (which doesn’t necessarily mean that audience interest in 3D is in decline), I realized that there wasn’t really an updated in-depth listing of 3D movie releases on the web. Most of the ones I found were missing something or were out of date, so I thought I’d create one myself....

Ryan Murphy’s anthology series, which captivated audiences with The People Vs. O.J. Simpson, now tackles The Assassination of Gianni Versace. This murder is a little different than Simpson’s, though.

‘Call Of Duty’ Cinematic Universe Planned, Taking Cues From Marvel With Movies & TV Shows By Ethan Anderton/April 6, 2017 1:30 pm EST Back in the fall of 2015, Activision Blizzard announced the creation of Activision Blizzard Studios, an entertainment company focused on giving their video game titles film and TV adaptations for even more brand recognition in the media landscape.

‘Cars 3’: Nathan Fillion, Kerry Washington And Lea DeLaria Join The Cast By Ethan Anderton/March 9, 2017 8:30 am EST This summer brings the third installment of the Cars franchise. While the Pixar Animation film series is a monster in the merchandise department, it hasn’t been all that beloved by critics and general audiences. Many will contend that the movies are intended for kids, so that’s not a big deal, but that hasn’t stopped most of the rest of Pixar’s movies from being top notch pieces of animated cinema....

‘Sleepless Night’ And ‘El Narco’ Mini-Reviews [Fantastic Fest 2011] By Germain Lussier/Sept. 24, 2011 7:00 am EST In the movies, when good guys get mixed up in drugs, it’s a recipe for disaster. And while that’s the basic drive of both Sleepless Night and El Narco, one does it on a very small scale with big results and the other does it on a huge scale with lesser results. Sleepless Night, which just got purchased by Warner Bros....

So even as filming on Star Trek 2 (or whatever they end up calling it) comes to an end, the rumor mill is nowhere close to shutting down....
