I don't know if I've ever seen a more provocative movie poster than this, especially given the cultural climate it's being thrown into. The Birth Of A Nation, the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury winner about the true story of an early 19th Century slave uprising in America, just dropped its first one-sheet movie poster - [...]
Moments after screening at London's Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 during the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story cast panel, Lucasfilm dropped their brand new Rogue One sizzle reel on YouTube.

Two of the year's biggest likely Oscar contenders are true story historical dramas that should prove intensely relevant against the backdrop of this year's tumultuous racial divide. The first - The Birth of a Nation - debuted in January at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and will open this October. That film, about an actual slave uprising in [...]
