Stranger Things unexpectedly blew everyone away when it debuted last week on Netflix. We dug it. Critics dug it. Stephen King dug it. No wonder the horror auteur supreme enjoyed the series; it pays homage to plenty of his works, along with several other iconic genre creators.

Jurassic World put Universal way ahead of every other studio last summer, trouncing previous domestic box office records and amassing a huge $1.7 billion worldwide gross.

The wheels were set in motion for Jurassic World 2 one year ago, but it was only this January that executive producers Steven Spielberg and Colin Trevorrow installed Juan Antonio Bayona at the helm.
You'd be hard pushed to find a superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe without a bulging set of muscles below the surface of their tight lycra outfit.

A couple of months back we learned the name of the hero lined up by Shane Black to lead his sequel, The Predator. In case you missed it, it's the very rugged-sounding Quinn McKenna.

There's been a lot to absorb, from those first official shots of Idris Elba decked out as Roland Deschain to word from director Nikolaj Arcel that the movie isn't quite the adaptation we were expecting. For fans of Stephen King's novel series, it's been a terrific week of news. And the outlet plans to go out with a bang, as EW has dropped a gallery of fresh images.
The continuing coverage of Sony's The Dark Tower adaptation in EW is rolling out a glut of interesting reveals. The first official look at Idris Elba as the cowboy knight Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey as his adversary, the sinister Man In Black ate terrific teasers for what's to come.

A new photo from the upcoming Power Rangers movie shows the gang's main foe singling one of them out for some special treatment. The picture, released by Entertainment Weekly, depicts the villainous Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) stroking her gnarly talons down the face of the Yellow Ranger, Trini.

Anna Kendrick's screen summer has a matrimonial air about it. First out of the gate is Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, an R-rated affair that's pitched in the same league as Neighbors, and now we've got a look at 2017's Table 19.
