There’s a new trailer for the upcoming Tomb Raider movie which stars Alicia Vikander as the kickass Lara Croft. Check it out here. I love the recent Tomb Raider video games.

Lawrence quote that opens Hostiles, the grimly and aptly titled new western from Scott Cooper. Set in 1892 in the later years of what is still…
Gareth Edwards’ incredible debut flick, Monsters, is being adapted into a television show by British Broadcasters, Channel Four. I absolutely love Gareth Edwards’ debut film Monsters.

James Gunn revealed on Twitter that his third Guardians movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, will be hitting cinemas in 2020. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was easily one of the best comic book movies of this year and in my opinion, James Gunn managed to improve upon what he started with the…

20th Century Fox has announced that they’re going to push Deadpool 2’s release date forward and in turn will push The New Mutants’ release date back. There’s a big shake-up on Fox’s X-Men movie front. So 2018 was going to be a pretty big year for X-Men spinoff movies with both Deadpool 2 and The…
Gore Verbinski becomes yet another director to exit Fox’s Gambit movie which was supposed to star Channing Tatum as the titular superhero. This Gambit movie project just seems to be cursed.

Director: Aaron Sorkin Starring: Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Michael Cera, Jeremy Strong, Chris O’Dowd Aaron Sorkin basically invented the faced-paced walking-and-talking trope you now see in so many films and TV shows.
