Oh, sorry, that one has blood on it, try this one instead. But what if… Hannibal wasn’t really over? What if there could be a movie? That’s the sort of thing that cold-hearted series creator Bryan Fuller is talking about right now, and even though that’s the sort of thing he’s been talking about for a while, fans of the departed show might be happy to know that producers are still thinking about ways to continue the story....

Germain’s Goodbye To Slashfilm By Germain Lussier/June 19, 2015 2:00 pm EST Slashfilm has always been my favorite website. It’s where a young New Yorker writing about local entertainment went to learn about Hollywood movies like Transformers and The Dark Knight. Believe it or not, it’s where I first came in contact with the works of artists like Tyler Stout, Scott Campbell and places like Mondo and Gallery 1988 — names that would literally change my life....

Men Of Tomorrow: 15 Actors Who Could Play A New Superman By /Film Staff/Sept. 14, 2018 9:00 am EST The big “S” on Superman’s chest might as well be a big question mark at this point. Earlier this week, we learned that Henry Cavill was reportedly leaving the role of Clark Kent/Kal-El after playing the part in Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Justice League. While nothing has been officially announced (and Cavill himself is trolling away on social media), it’s a decision that makes sense....

More Details Revealed About Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ By Germain Lussier/May 2, 2011 12:30 pm EST Friday afternoon, a Hollywood insider tweeted a photo of the cover page to the long rumored Quentin Tarantino spaghetti western script. The title on the page, seen above, was Django Unchained and the reveal set off a slew of news about Tarantino’s next directorial effort. Our original story was updated with some information but, being as most of it happened over the weekend and we’re talking about the next movie by Quentin Tarantino for God’s sake, we figured it was time for a big update: what’s confirmed, what’s the status of the project, what’s it about, a quote from Tarantino and more....

The couple in question is Bert and Ernie, puppets and opposites-attract besties who reside on New York City’s (fictional) Sesame Street....

Randall Park Talks Kim Jong-Un From The Set Of ‘The Interview’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 31, 2014 7:00 am EST Rewind the clock just over a year. It’s December 10, 2013 and /Film is on the set of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s The Interview. Everyone on set is upbeat, laughing, and more than willing to discuss that this film deals with some big issues. But no one has any idea what will transpire over the next 12 months, turning what should have been a simple, dirty comedy into a mass controversy and eventually a potential shift in the way studios look at movies....

The Best & Worst Sketches From Scarlett Johansson’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ By Ethan Anderton/March 12, 2017 9:00 am EST This weekend, Scarlett Johansson hosted Saturday Night Live, which allowed her to join the prestigious Five Timers Club, a rare honor for hosts of the iconic late night sketch series. Last night’s episode proved why Scarlett Johansson has joined the exclusive club, as she can throw herself into a goofy character, but also has no problem being an anchor in a sketch as the straight-woman, delivering the dialogue that doesn’t have the punchlines....

The Brit List 2009 By Brendon Connelly/Oct. 5, 2009 2:34 pm EST We’ve often referred to The Black List, the annual countdown of favorite scripts compiled by canvassing the opinions of film industry folk, but never before, I believe, The Brit List.

In 2007, the list was topped by The Men Who Stare At Goats, now revving up for release with George Clooney and Ewan McGregor in the leads....
