With filming now well underway on Avengers: Infinity War, fresh details continue to leak from the production. After commencing in Atlanta, the cast and crew have now moved overseas to Edinburgh, Scotland, where a surreptitious video shot near the set reveals Paul Bettany's Vision under attack.
In the last episode of Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer made a promise to "see you in 25 years." Well, it's been a torturously long wait, but that deadline has expired and the show's much-anticipated return is now just two months away.
Gavin Wiesen’s All Nighter is essentially a lo-fi indie take on Meet the Parents. In the Ben Stiller role is Emile Hirsch as Martin, a bearded, banjo playing LA layabout whose shirts go perpetually un-ironed. Filling Robert De Niro’s shoes is J.K. Simmons as his girlfriend Ginnie’s (Analeigh Tipton) father, Mr. Gallo, a smartly suited alpha male whose job is carrying out suspiciously sinister sounding “procurement.”
When Marvel first announced that they were adapting Guardians of the Galaxy into a full-length feature, the initial reaction was bemusement. Sure, the studio could make Iron Man and Thor into cultural totems, but selling audiences on a heroic tree-man, a talking raccoon and some of the stranger cosmic corners of the Marvel Universe seemed eyebrow-raisingly optimistic. Now look where we are: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is poised to not only be one of the biggest comic book releases of the year, but could have one of the biggest openings of all-time.
Warner Bros. has whipped us into a frenzy for tomorrow’s new Wonder Woman trailer, doling out a second tiny sneak peek on Facebook. This snippet, which follows the first one released earlier this evening, expands on the film's World War I London setting.
Jesse Custer hasn't quite made his last stand yet. After what felt like an eon in development hell, AMC's adaptation of Garth Ennis' seminal 90s comic book, Preacher, eventually emerged, quickly proving that it captured the precise cocktail of blasphemy, violence and humor that made the source material such a hit. With filming complete on season 2, it now has an airdate of June 19th at 9PM ET/PT on AMC.
Few shows have captured contemporary paranoias better than Mr. Robot, Sam Esmail's drama-thriller about a group of hackers trying to erase all debts. With its second (rapturously received) season airing last July, fans have been eagerly awaiting any news of the upcoming third outing like a man in the desert anticipates a cool glass of ice water.
Back when Better Call Saul was about to air, common wisdom was that it'd probably be good, but that there was absolutely no way it could possibly live up to the monolithic Breaking Bad. Well, against all odds, it pretty much has. What's the winning formula? Well, in my opinion, it's that creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould know what the audience want to see, but never quite give it to them. Instead, they present us with something we didn't even know we wanted.
Despite the portentously apocalyptic title, Thor: Ragnarok sounds like it's going to be a little more light-hearted than its predecessors. After a week of fresh media showcasing the film's vibrant color palette (and Jeff Goldblum looking cool as hell as The Grandmaster), director Taiki Waititi has let slip another nugget of interesting information: he's inspired by John Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China.
