The recent twitter-spree of Joker images and behind-the-scenes footage is no joke.

If the main purpose of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them -- the first Harry Potter prequel, released in 2016 -- was to establish the wizarding world of the 1920s, then Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald appears to be accelerating the Potterverse [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcwmDAYt22k This is not your Michael Bay Transformers. The new trailer for Bumblebee, the franchise's first prequel, continues the sentimental spirit of the first teaser by zeroing in on the "Girl and her Robot" story (think an E.T. dynamic) of Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), an 18-year-old young woman in the 1980s whose birthday gift of an old yellow [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=134&v=w4GtJB5WAlQ And we have liftoff. On the heels of its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, First Man debuts its (likely) final trailer before its October release.

The end begins. On the first day of production, writer/director J.J. Abrams has tweeted out a non-spoilery photo straight from the set of Star Wars IX, the final chapter in the Skywalker saga. The image is a close-up of the film camera. The set itself is severely out of focus, although one can glean that it's [...]
It's back. The Terminator franchise, that is. And women are leading the way. In this first look image for the still-untitled Terminator 6, Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor. She's joined by Mackenzie Davis (Halt and Catch Fire) and Natalia Reyes (2091) who play two new characters. Nothing is known about them, or the story (filming began in June), [...]
