I'm not sure whether an indie thriller like Glassland will have any luck in capitalizing on actor Jack Reynor's starring role in Transformers: Age of Extinction. The vast majority of destructo-porn addicts who sat through all three hours of Michael Bay's latest didn't in all likelihood leave the theater desperate to seek out Reynor's other work. Though our critic Matt Donato claimed that the actor "makes us forget all about Shia LaBeouf’s pissy Witwicky character," there's no use pretending Age of Extinction was in any way his show.
Recovered from The Fault In Our Stars yet? Good - now you can mentally steel yourself to weep uncontrollably all over again with next month's If I Stay, a promising adaptation of the Gayle Forman novel about a young cellist forced to make an unimaginable choice between life and death after a terrible accident.
Are you ready to Purge again? Universal and Blumhouse seem to think so, having set The Purge: Anarchy to open just one week after the box office juggernaut that will be Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It will certainly be interesting to see which film is more successful - the scrappy action-thriller or the massive summer tentpole - but regardless, it seems clear that both of them are going to make boatloads of cash. As part of the film's extensive marketing campaign, three scary new clips from Anarchy have hit the web, along with four new images.
Early reviews for Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes have been universally positive, with many calling it not only the best movie of the summer but one of the best movies of 2014 as a whole, so to say that we're excited to see it when it opens later this week is a pretty massive understatement. In particular, we're stoked to see how the film builds on the foundation lain by Rise of the Planet of the Apes to get the franchise's setting closer to the place we remember seeing in the original Planet of the Apes and its sequels.
Over the past few months, there have been some pretty intriguing images coming out of Jurassic World, from official shots of the lead actors to a shadowy dinosaur mid-roar. Now, however, we may have gotten our most exciting glimpse at the blockbuster yet - with an Instragram pic of what appears to be one of Jurassic World's highly anticipated velociraptors.
I can say without hesitation that Premature is the best movie about ejaculation-triggered time travel that I have ever seen. Sure, that compliment doesn't really mean much, but you have to admire a flick that takes that ridiculous, gross set-up and really runs with it - all the while building an endearing cast of characters and handing each of them consistently raucous, over-the-top material. Honestly, Premature is far, far better than a film mashing together Groundhog Day and American Pie has any right to be.
As if TV viewers needed more reasons to back away from HBO's The Leftovers... After two somewhat disappointing installments, the freshman dystopian drama hasn't given viewers any indication that an answer to what caused the Sudden Departure, an event in which 2% of the world's population inexplicably vanished, is coming soon. And when you consider that one of the two showrunners is Lost creator Damon Lindelof, that shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Regardless, Lindelof and fellow showrunner Tom Perrotta (whose novel The Leftovers served as the series' source material) probably aren't helping the series gain fans by admitting that answers to the biggest questions on the show may never come at all.
Ever since The Conjuring became the breakout horror hit of last summer, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema have been busy figuring out how to build that deliciously scary flick into a bona fide franchise, ordering a direct sequel and a spinoff centered on the incredibly creepy haunted Annabelle doll. Fans of The Conjuring will remember that the doll in question first menaced female college students then Lorraine and Ed Warren's (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) young daughter. Now, it will be terrifying a new group of unfortunate individuals sooner than we anticipated, with news that Annabelle has been set for release this October.
Though her last big screen role was in 2011's Hugo, Emily Mortimer has been keeping plenty busy on the small screen, starring on two HBO series, The Newsroom and Doll & Em, the latter of which she created and wrote. Now, we're hearing that the talented actress will be making her way back to the big screen with a starring role in Legendary's upcoming supernatural military thriller Spectral.
After turning to crowdsource funding in his efforts to raise money for his long-planned Miles Davis film, House of Lies actor Don Cheadle is finally moving forward with Miles Ahead, which he'll both star in and make his directorial debut on. Shooting begins this week in Cincinatti, and Entertainment Weekly just unveiled our first look at Cheadle in the role (below).
