Kooky First Poster For The Addams Family Halloween Debuts

The Addams Family have been absent from cinema screens for too long. It's been a whopping 26 years since Addams Family Values hit cinemas (the less said about the straight-to-video 1998 Addams Family Reunion the better). But now they're back - in animated form! Judging by this just-released poster, it appears that Addams Family Halloween is going to stick very closely to cartoonist Charles Addams' original designs in the comic strip. Check out the poster below:

Liam Neeson Issues New Apology For His Weird Racist Revenge Fantasy

Promoting your new movie is a slightly dull but necessary job for actors. The drill is usually that you sit in a hotel room chatting to a series of interviewers from various publications. It's pretty boilerplate stuff: you say the movie is great, that your character was interesting to play, that the director is wonderful, that you got on famously with the other cast members and then you talk about that time your friend got raped and you went out looking for a black guy to murder. Wait, actually, uh, better skip that last one.

Star Wars Sales Keep On Dropping For Disney

The Walt Disney Company has just released its latest financial report, which indicates that there's been a drop in sales for Star Wars. The report explains that there's been a decrease in revenue from Star Wars-related products over the last year, but does this spell doom for the series, and is Disney mismanaging one of the most-loved properties in the entertainment industry?

New Leaked Title For Star Wars: Episode IX Is Absolutely Terrible

We're currently way overdue to learn the official title of Star Wars: Episode IX. The Last Jedi's title was revealed on the 23rd of January 2017, meaning there was a gap of 11 months where we could puzzle out what the hell it referred to before the film's release. Now, with April just around the corner and Spring having officially sprung, we're still in the dark about Episode IX. But venerable movie news site Ain't It Cool News claims to have the official title and are telling us that it'll actually be called Star Wars: Skywalkers.

Star Wars: Episode IX Leaked Promo Photo Reveals Old Lando

The return of Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian in Star Wars: Episode IX should be an interesting moment. While he's a hero of the Rebellion and played a key role in the destruction of the second Death Star, he's been conspicuously absent from the events of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. When Leia's plea for rescue fell on deaf ears at the finale of the previous film, that pain was all the more visceral for knowing that Lando was out there somewhere and not answering.

Here’s What That Leaked Star Wars: Episode IX Poster Tells Us About The Knights Of Ren

The mysterious Knights of Ren have been much discussed in the run-up to Star Wars: Episode IX. They're a group of warriors who were under the command of Supreme Leader Snoke, and with Kylo Ren being the highest ranked in their order, he's assumed to have taken control of them. Despite being present for The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, they've remained almost entirely off-screen, leading many fan theorists to conclude that they'll play a big role in the finale of the Sequel Trilogy.

Captain America Says Donald Trump Is An Absolute Dumb Sh*t

If the Avengers: Endgame rumors are true and Chris Evans' Steve Rogers/Captain America doesn't make it to the credits it's going to be a very emotional moment for the MCU. Not only is Chris Evans excellent as a character who to many was considered a joke prior to the MCU (I remember skeptically wondering how on Earth they were going to market 'Captain America' to international markets), but he's also not afraid to stand up for his beliefs. Evans has a track record on Twitter of criticizing President Donald Trump - a political stance that he recognises might turn part of the audience against him.

First Posters For Downton Abbey Movie Promise A Luxurious Cinematic Experience

Strange as it might seem, there are cinemagoers who don't find a thrill in sexy and charismatic actors in capes and skin-tight body suits engaging in earth-shaking clashes. Nope, for them an uncomfortable dinner party and Imelda Staunton raising her eyebrow ever-so-slightly are exciting enough. That's why this September's Downton Abbey movie will probably do absolutely gangbusters at the box office.

Avengers: Endgame Confirmed To Be The MCU’s Longest Movie

Avengers: Endgame has a lot to squeeze in. The film functions as the conclusion to various plot strands that have been developing in the MCU since 2008 and, like Infinity War before it, needs do a gargantuan number of superheroes justice. Knowing all this, the reveal earlier this week that AMC Theatres were listing Endgame as having a 182m run time didn't exactly come as a surprise. It seems that AMC might have published this by mistake, as the run-time was quickly removed from the site. However, now sources close to The Hollywood Reporter are saying that this information is broadly accurate:
