FX’s ‘Fargo’ Could Adopt The ‘Louie’ Model Of Irregular Seasons By Angie Han/June 27, 2016 1:30 pm EST Fargo’s second season premiered about a year and a half after its first season did, and Fargo’s third season won’t arrive until 2017. And assuming we ever get a Fargo season four, the wait might get even longer. Series creator Noah Hawley says he may take a page out of the Louie playbook and just ignore the calendar, delaying new seasons of Fargo until he gets a really good idea for another one....

Hugh Jackman Won’t Shoot ‘Wolverine 3’ Until The Script Is Perfect By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 26, 2015 10:30 am EST So far the X-Men spin-off movies that focus on Wolverine have been nowhere near as good as the regular X-Men franchise. Without much dissension, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is regarded abysmal. And while The Wolverine was a huge step up, it still felt like it was missing something. But since Wolverine 3 is going to be the last time Hugh Jackman puts on the claws, he wants to make sure it’s the movie fans have been waiting for....

Interview: ‘Rogue One’ Star Diego Luna On Why Cassian Andor Isn’t Your Typical ‘Star Wars’ Hero By Jacob Hall/Dec. 6, 2016 8:00 am EST Everyone at the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story junket is tired, exhausted from days of press and hours of interviews. Except for Diego Luna.

Producer Dylan Clark On ‘War For The Planet Of The Apes’ Aspirations As A 65mm Epic Western By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 9, 2016 7:00 am EST How many years after Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the film set?Clark: We’re calling it two years. It’ll probably be documented in the movie as two years… And that’s because one of Matt [Reeves]‘s great strengths was to come in after Rupert [Wyatt] and say here’s what you did really well on Rise and here’s why I love Apes: “You really immersed me in the ape’s world and I really want to experience everything that’s going on with apes and humans and the world that you’ve created with these characters....

RANT: The Cloverfield Monster Is NOT A Spoiler By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 16, 2008 12:57 am EST Yesterday, we posted the first photos of the Cloverfield Monster Toy, which is being produced by Hasbro. We received a few angry comments, yelling at us for “Spoiling” Cloverfield for them. The whole concept of Spoilers has been something that has been on my mind for a few months now. Originally a Spoiler meant something from a film that gave away a twist or turning point in the story....

Terminator Salvation Extended Plot Synopsis By Peter Sciretta/May 4, 2009 11:58 am EST It was not my intention to write four articles about Terminator Salvation in the last 24 hours, but sometimes that is just how the news flows.

For those of you that are interested, I have included it after the jump....

The Best, Worst, And Craziest Horror Movie You’ve Never Seen Is Now Streaming By Matt Donato/June 1, 2018 12:00 pm EST Before this week, I pushed no “MUST SEE” Demon Wind agenda. As of three days ago, I hadn’t even indulged this not-often-discussed cult discovery. That’s until essential horror streaming resource Shudder added Charles Philip Moore’s 1990 “How did this get made?” case study to their already blushing catalog. My interest was tickled with a confirmation tweet from the site’s official account, then fellow Twitter denizens started flooding their hyperbolic and dazed rants about a movie too tantalizingly terrible/insane to ignore....

For those disappointed by the debut episode hosted by Miley Cyrus, you’ll be happy to know that this episode is certainly a step up, if only because Schumer is used to this kind of comedy environment....

Things I Noticed While Watching 20 Minutes Of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 20, 2008 1:43 am EST On Wednesday, I flew down to Los Angeles to attend a special screening of 20 minutes of footage from JJ Abrams’ Star Trek.

Why Bryan Cranston And A Teaser Poster Have Me Interested In The Power Rangers Movie By Peter Sciretta/July 6, 2016 10:30 am EST I wasn’t a fan of the Power Rangers television series when it aired — maybe I was a year or two too old for it, or maybe I was already over my Voltron days. Whatever the case, I haven’t found excitement for the upcoming Power Rangers movie. And then last month Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston signed on to the film as Zordon, a character that appeared as a giant floating head in a tube in the TV series....

Bayona’s adaptation of Patrick Ness’ A Monster Calls is a five-hankie sobfest, a ruthlessly effective tearjerker even by cancer drama standards. The sniffles start with the premise. A boy (Lewis MacDougall) struggles with his mother’s terminal illness, and calls upon a giant tree monster for help....

‘Atlanta’ Season 2 Early Buzz: Donald Glover Has Done It Again By Ben Pearson/Feb. 28, 2018 2:00 pm EST When a brand new show wins two Emmys and two Golden Globes, it can be tough to top that level of early success. But it seems as if Donald Glover’s occasionally surreal FX comedy/drama Atlanta has managed to fly in the face of the dreaded sophomore slump. The reviews are in, and early buzz about the new season is strong – so strong, in fact, that as of the time of this writing, season 2 has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes....
