Filmed in Downtown Los Angeles. That's the most staggering credit for the new box office juggernaut live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book. The term "live-action" is a bit deceiving, though, given that most of this world is entirely fake. But it'd have to be, since the story is set entirely in a real jungle and not the [...]
J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof would be proud. A new 50-second viral marketing video for the upcoming summer blockbuster X-Men: Apocalypse looks and feels exactly like something dug up from the Dharma Initiative archives. Titled "In the Footsteps of...En Sabah Nur", this "commercial" for an old 70s paranormal investigation TV show comes complete with warped videotape [...]
The new Cinemark Classics Series slate is set for April and May of 2016, anchored by one of the greatest American films of all time (the Brando one) and two 80s classics celebrating their 30th Anniversaries. Here are the films, dates, and times. Scan the image below to find a participating theater near you (or click on for a larger [...]
Batman and Superman fight in the dark of night and the pouring rain. The Avengers fight in the bright light of day. Just one of several stark (pun intended) differences between the major competing comic book cinematic universes - best displayed here in this new action scene (below) from the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. The latest chapter [...]
This screen grab is from the debut teaser for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (click here to watch...again). My question is this: That black-cloaked figure doesn't look or move like Darth Vader...so who is it? The Emperor? Maybe...but the person seems too tall, and is moving too fast. Plus, it looks like he's beginning [...]
Ready to fight some stormtroopers on Tatooine with your lightsaber? Soon you will, with the new Star Wars: Trials On Tatooine VR experience. While still only in the "experiment" stage, Lucasfilm's VR unit ILMxLab is deep in development with its first official Star Wars VR platform. Though it's likely to have a "for sale" home version at some point, [...]
Fascinating or Indicting? Your reaction to this 4-minute shot-to-shot comparison (below) between Episode's IV and VII - aka A New Hope and The Force Awakens - will directly coincide with whether you thought the callbacks were intentional by thematic design (a good thing) or unoriginal fan service (a lazy thing, as argued here by Collider's Matt Goldberg - and the vitriolic [...]
The home video release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is almost here, and now there's a teaser for one of the most intriguing bonus features: the deleted scenes. Completely rendered with final visual effects (rather than just the raw footage, like many deleted scenes are presented), fans will be able to see the moments [...]
Right on the heels of a huge opening weekend, the first deleted scene from Batman V Superman has been released by the studio (see below). And the more you know about DC canonical history, the more packed with potential the scene apparently is. SPOILERS! Titled "Communion", the 45-second creepy outtake - which will most certainly appear in [...]
Yes, Rogue One footage is out there - but it hasn't leaked or been made public. Just a few people have seen it, and one person has shared what he saw. The upcoming Star Wars Anthology film - the first-ever non-episode live action feature entry into the Star Wars universe - is set to open this December, but so [...]
