This clip, starring the voice of Eddie Redmayne as Dug, teases the claymation movie that's still in production. The voice cast co-stars Tom Hiddleston and Maisie Williams. Early Man will be released sometime in 2018.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVYSyiL4iis There was a time when Steven Spielberg was slated to direct the first Transformers movie. When he eventually handed it over to Michael Bay, the Armageddon director skewed the kid-centric tale to focus on an older teen and adults (with edgy, sexual humor to go with it). Now, following the release of the first scene clip from Transformers: The Last Knight - which focused on [...]

Instead, it appears to be the first look at Pixar's second feature of 2017 (following this summer's Cars 3), called Coco. Directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3), Coco looks to be a story set in [...]

If this summer's Transformers: The Last Knight could be an entire feature of a scene like this (unlikely) - with kids at the center of the [...]

https://youtu.be/INLzqh7rZ-U A superhero that saves a dude in distress? Those bullet-deflecting cuffs sure do the trick. So does this whole new trailer for Wonder Woman, dubbed "Origin", which shows a movie that's very much of the current DCEU yet still balances action, seriousness, and comic relief in a confident rather than straining way. Will a [...]
https://youtu.be/WnLsaCLdoMQ The new song from Disney's live action Beauty and the Beast remake brings back an old favorite: Celine Dion. Penned by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Tim Rice (filling in for the late Howard Ashman), "How Does A Moment Last Forever?" will - with Dion's voice - serve as a warm-comfort tie-in (and bookend) [...]
