Interestingly, when viewers are finally able to catch back up with skeezy lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) in his upcoming Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul, the character will actually be going by the name Jimmy McGill and won't have realized his full potential as a lawyer quite yet. And seeing as the series is set six years before Breaking Bad, he certainly has some time to figure everything out. Now, thanks to a clever bit of advertising from AMC, we have our first look at Odenkirk in character as McGill.
With all the crazy internet rumors flying around regarding Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, it's refreshing to finally see something concrete. DC Entertainment has seen fit to unveil the cape and cowl of Ben Affleck's new Batsuit at Comic-Con, teasing fans with a dark and somewhat intimidating take on the Caped Crusader's iconic get-up.
One of the biggest movies of next year is going to be Fifty Shades of Grey, Universal's adaptation of the runaway bestseller by E.L. James, and now the first trailer for the R-rated romance has arrived, providing an exciting and surprisingly engrossing first look at the film.
At this point, Robert Downey Jr. has played Tony Stark/Iron Man in five movies (I'm counting his cameo in The Incredible Hulk), but is there an end in sight for the actor? Marvel has made him one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood (currently, he's raking in $75 million a year), and with Avengers: Age of Ultron and more Iron Man films on the horizon (including an all-but-confirmed Iron Man 4), the answer to that would appear to be a firm no.
Limitless, Transcendence and now Lucy - why does Hollywood seem so interested in the idea of the underused brain? The fad seems especially ironic when you consider that none of those three films' screenwriters apparently used more than 10% of theirs. Yes, I'm sorry to report that Lucy is not the mind-bending, heart-pounding thriller that the trailers had made us hope it would be. Instead, the Luc Besson-directed flick arrives as a curiously deformed mess, one filled with plainly bad ideas stretched out long past the point of admissability and a stunningly flat performance from lead Scarlett Johansson.
We enjoyed Noah when it arrived earlier this year, and that's why we're happy to continue supporting the film here at We Got This Covered by exclusively debuting a new mobile game developed for Paramount Home Media Distribution. Titled Noah: Ark Builder, its release on the iTunes Store today ties in with the upcoming home media release of Noah on July 29th.
This summer has been a very disappointing season for horror buffs. Deliver Us From Evil was a cheaply written disappointment, The Purge: Anarchy transitioned the franchise from chills to thrills and Jessabelle has been bumped to November. In fact, unless August's As Above, So Below turns out to be a scary good time (and based on that trailer, I can safely say it won't), I'll have to conclude that the only true horror movie to hit theaters this summer was Blended. Luckily, next summer seems a little more promising (not hard, I know). Insidious: Chapter 3 is landing in May, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children should be creepy fun in July, and now we've learned that Sinister 2 will be coming in August.
This Saturday, anticipated threequel The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will go to Comic-Con with its own panel - but ahead of that event, Warner Bros. has revealed the first official poster for the trilogy topper, an impressive look at the almighty dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch)... and Bard (Luke Evans), the lone bowman standing between the fire-breather and all of Lake-Town.
Few actors have experienced as meteoric a rise to fame as John Boyega, who broke out in the Joe Cornish-directed Attack the Block and promptly landed the lead role in Star Wars: Episode VII. And now, Boyega is taking full advantage of his red-hot status in Hollywood by teasing us with the possibility that he could be joining a very different but also beloved franchise.
After breaking out in David Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo with her Oscar-nominated turn as hacker Lisbeth Salander, Rooney Mara has steadily cemented her reputation as one of the most talented young actresses working today with strong performances in Ain't Them No Bodies Saints, Side Effects and Her. And she doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon, with Stephen Daldry's Trash, an untitled Terrence Malick project and erotic thriller Carol in the can. Now, we've learned that Mara has booked another high-profile gig leading the Jim Sheridan-directed The Secret Scripture.
