https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf6O1aYoj0k Honest to God, every new trailer or preview for Disney's live-action Dumbo is even better than the last. This latest 2-minute behind-the-scenes promo is no different. The remake from Tim Burton has definitely become my most anticipated "Disney vault redux" for 2019 (yes, more than Aladdin or The Lion King). Thankfully we'll get it [...]
First The Rider, then this, and now this?! That trinity of indie glory may anoint Chloé Zhao as the filmmaker I'm most fascinated by right now. The Rider, which I ranked #4 on my Top Ten List for 2018, was a moving breakthrough of small indepedent cinema on multiple levels, not the least of which is [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=134&v=nr2g8zRwX4Q We're all tired of the over-burdened superheroes, already, and Shazam! knows it. As this latest featurette shows, the comedy-driven Big-style entry from DC chucks angst for awe, and is fueled by a spirit of OMG NO WAY fun. Starring Zachary Levi in the title role and Jack Dylan Grazer (IT) as his middle school [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=150&v=shdb-Bn-kMo When a making-of "Behind The Scenes" promo plays better than a film's actual trailers, well, that's not a good sign, but that's where I'm currently landing right now with Aquaman, the latest desperate attempt to save the floundering (pun intended) DC Extended Universe. The vision and scale on display here is impressive, and you [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=92&v=Do2QZsh-EVo What mind has read and ear has heard, the eye will finally see. That's the promise author J.K. Rowling sets in this 90-second promo tease for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second prequel-sequel in this early 20th Century-set saga from the popular Potterverse (which began with 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where To [...]
Tom Cruise is satisfying his need for speed once again. Photos from the set of Top Gun: Maverick -- the long-awaited sequel, now filming -- have popped up online. It's a series of snapshots with Cruise riding around as Maverick on a motorbike (Mav's preferred land-bound wheels of choice). These unofficial pics will have to tied [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Dw1_ekznc Most big budget movies -- ones based on comic books especially -- are notoriously secretive, clamping down on leaked footage or images so as to carefully control the marketing roll out and public perception. But like their movie's title character, the producers of Joker seem to be taking an opposite, downright anarchistic approach. Set photos [...]
They'll be back. Currently filming the still-untitled Terminator 6 movie, stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton struck a pose from an old set photo on Terminator 2: Judgment Day to re-create it 27 years later, posting it on Instagram on Hamilton's 62nd birthday. Arnold's OG Terminator may be more bruised and battered this time around, but the affection [...]
You're Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers; of course I'll be your neighbor! Sony Pictures released its first photo of the beloved 2-time Academy Award winning actor as the beloved PBS icon, for their movie You Are My Friend. It's not a full biopic of Fred Rogers but, much like that Hanks-as-Walt-Disney film Saving Mr. Banks [...]
The recent twitter-spree of Joker images and behind-the-scenes footage is no joke. Director Todd Phillips has been dropping visual teases this week (here and here) from the set of Joker, the new origin film for Batman's most famous nemesis. Played by Joaquin Phoenix, the stand-alone non-DCEU film will trace how the Joker came to be, and [...]
