New ‘Ready Player One’ TV Spot Mentions Batman!! Check It Out!!

Warner Bros. has released a new Ready Player One TV spot, and it has me returning to my mantra about the film, “Trust in Spielberg.” That’s not to say that director Steven Spielberg has never made a bad movie, but if he hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt, then no one has.

‘Ready Player One’ Character Posters Reveal the Avatars!! Check It Out!!

The Ready Player One movie’s marketing campaign has hit the “character posters” stage, and the internet is ready to tear this movie apart. Which I don’t understand, at all. First of all, this is marketing. We all know marketing campaigns don’t always reflect the finished film, and on a pure foundational level the marketing campaign is not the movie. So love or hate the posters, … Continue reading ‘Ready Player One’ Character Posters Reveal the Avatars!! Check It Out!!

Warner Bros. has released a new poster for the upcoming Ready Player One movie, and fans flummoxed by the seemingly superhuman leg-length of Tye Sheridan’s Wade Watts in the initial poster won’t find the same complaints here.

‘Ready Player One’ Featurette Celebrates Spielberg and Flashes Back to the Future!!! Check It Out!!

Ernest Cline‘s novel Ready Player One is a fun read, made all the more enjoyable for those readers who grew up in the halcyon days of 80s video games, music, movies, and pop culture.

While Steven Spielberg is back in the awards race this year with The Post, his long-awaited return to blockbuster mode is merely months away.

Filming is officially underway on the next X-Men movie X-Men: Dark Phoenix in Montreal, and our first set photos have arrived.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix, the second theatrical adaptation of The Dark Phoenix Saga, is bringing back a lot of familiar faces, from “First Class” era mainstays like Professor X and Mystique to younger mutant heroes like Cyclops and Storm.

‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’: Evan Peters Confirmed to Return as Quicksilver!!

When the initial casting information started to surface for X-Men: Dark Phoenix, there was one bummer of an absence. While it’s pleasantly surprising to see that James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, and Nicholas Hoult are re-upping their contracts to return for the X-Men: Apocalypse sequel, one of the best parts of this new iteration of the franchise—Evan Peters’ Quicksilver—was not mentioned. It was unclear … Continue reading ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’: Evan Peters Confirmed to Return as Quicksilver!!

‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ to Introduce Dazzler on the Big Screen!!

When 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse was rolling out its marketing campaign, star Sophie Turner teased Marvel fans with an Easter egg that featured the musical mutant Dazzler. Around that time, Taylor Swift stirred up speculation that she might be stepping into the role when she took a photo with Turner, James McAvoy, and Simon Kinberg. (It was just a behind-the-scenes shot taken at a concert.) Clearly, nothing came … Continue reading ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ to Introduce Dazzler on the Big Screen!!

‘Dark Phoenix’: Simon Kinberg Confirmed to Direct; Main ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Cast to Return!!

Bryan Singer Reportedly Not Returning for Next ‘X-Men’ Sequel; Franchise Being “Reconfigured”!!

It appears as though the age of the X-Men franchise is starting to show. Earlier today, reports swirled that despite Deadpool 2 recently losing its director, 20th Century Fox is already developing Deadpool 3 as a sequel that would incorporate the X-Force, which is like an R-rated X-Men team. But the report also had news for the flagship franchise, and it ain’t great. Per THR, the main X-Men franchise is being “reconfigured” after this past May’s 80s-set X-Men: Apocalypse grossed … Continue reading Bryan Singer Reportedly Not Returning for Next ‘X-Men’ Sequel; Franchise Being “Reconfigured”!!

Ladies and gentlemen, glimpse the 1980s X-Men fun that might have been. You’ve probably heard all about X-Men: Apocalypse‘s deleted mall scene by now. It featured prominently some of the film’s promos, it popped up on social media (and added fuel to the rumor fire that Taylor Swift would cameo as Dazzler), and both director Bryan Singer and producer Simon Kinberg spoke openly about it during their rounds of press. Well now, with … Continue reading ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Deleted Mall Scene Goes Full 80s!! Check It Out!!

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Review!!

Synopsis – With the emergence of the world’s first mutant, Apocalypse, the X-Men must unite to defeat his extinction level plan. My Take – This ninth installment is another fine chapter in a franchise that director Bryan Singer brilliantly setup in 2000, and returned with the excellent Days of Future Past in 2014. Yes, it may be a CGI heavy action-adventure but it’s bold, effortlessly mixing action, … Continue reading X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Review!!

Next ‘X-Men’ Movie to Take Place in the 90s, Says Simon Kinberg!!

Bryan Singer’s initial and highly influential adaptations of Marvel’s X-Men were contemporary stories set in the early 2000s. Then, with the arrival of Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, the title mutants returned to their comic book roots in the 1960s with a new cast of characters that served to introduce the superheroes and supervillains from their very origins. The two out-of-sync franchises famously crossed timelines in Singer’s 70s-set X-Men: Days of Future Past which … Continue reading Next ‘X-Men’ Movie to Take Place in the 90s, Says Simon Kinberg!!

With CinemaCon starting tomorrow in Las Vegas, I arrived earlier today to take pictures of the new posters on display.

Check out new images and exclusive ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Empire covers!!

While the talk in the world of comic book adaptations, for now, will likely be centered on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the subject matter will be changing frequently over the next few weeks.

The Heroes Get A Turn To Shine In New X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Poster!!

I have no expectations when it comes to X-Men: Apocalypse. Even when this series is really good, I can’t get much enthusiasm for it. Perhaps it’s because of the series’ wonky continuity. Or maybe it’s because the casts keep changing. In any case, we’re getting another one, and promotion is in full swing. A couple days ago, we got a poster focused on the film’s … Continue reading The Heroes Get A Turn To Shine In New X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Poster!!

20th Century Fox release new ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ villains poster!!

20th Century Fox has unveiled a new poster for X-Men: Apocalypse, and it certainly plays up the whole “world-ending” aspect referenced in the title. Bryan Singer returns to direct this Days of Future Past follow-up, which picks up in the year 1983 in a world completely changed by Mystique’s live-on-television actions at the end of DOFP. Mutants have been known to the world at large … Continue reading 20th Century Fox release new ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ villains poster!!

Tye Sheridan Lands Lead in Steven Spielberg’s ‘Ready Player One’!!

The Ready Player One movie has found its Wade Watts. As Steven Spielberg continues to prep his highly anticipated adaptation of the Ernest Cline novel, the lengthy casting search for the film’s male protagonist has come to an end with Mud and Tree of Life actor Tye Sheridan. Deadline broke the news, and it’s a small wonder we never got a typical casting shortlist for … Continue reading Tye Sheridan Lands Lead in Steven Spielberg’s ‘Ready Player One’!!

Dark Places (2015) Review!!

Synopsis – Libby Day was only seven years old when her family was brutally murdered in their rural Kansas farmhouse. Twenty-five years later, she agrees to revisit the crime and uncovers the wrenching truths that led up to that tragic night.
