Fans of hobbitses and Middle-Earth will get to see the highly-anticipated first trailer for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar when The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens in just a few days, but a tiny clip from the preview is already making the rounds online.
One of the most ambitious blockbuster experiments of the year was this past summer's sci-fi/horror epic World War Z, which starred Brad Pitt as a UN employee racing to find the cure for a zombie pandemic. Though the film made an astounding $540 million at the box office, it also had a notably difficult production period including numerous script rewrites and a ballooning budget.
With the screaming success of horror programs like FX's American Horror Story and AMC's The Walking Dead, it's only logical that basic cable networks are racing to get in on the action. Although this fall's Dracula update, starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, has been perhaps less of a smash hit than the Peacock network expected, that's not enough to prevent NBC from green-lighting a four-hour miniseries adaptation of the horror classic Rosemary's Baby.
After serving as Christopher Nolan's director of photography on blockbusters like The Dark Knight and Inception, Academy Award-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister is finally moving into the director's chair for his own science-fiction adventure, the upcoming thriller Transcendence.
After a lackluster season four, NBC's Community is gearing up to premiere its fifth season next month, and all is right with the world. Though the fourth season was an undeniably poor outing for the cult meta-comedy, Dan Harmon is back in the saddle as showrunner, so the likelihood of Community returning to the same level of quality for which it has become renowned is quite high.
The art and marketing department for Lars von Trier's upcoming two-part sex epic Nymphomaniac must be one of the busiest in the business. Hot off last week's unveiling of two threatening posters featuring props from the film, yet another eerily artistic poster has hit the web, and it looks like school is in session for co-star Shia LaBeouf.
Though many people have given Hollywood a hard time about the recent glut of supernatural romance flicks, what they should really be ridiculing studio heads for is their surprising dedication to developing tentpoles based on beloved board games from our childhood. We've got adaptations of Candyland, Monopoly and even Hungry Hippos on the way. Now, even after Battleship sunk both with critics and at the box office last year, Universal Pictures is still chugging ahead with their next board game project: Ouija.
VOD is where it's at these days. In recent weeks, various titles have been scheduled to land on-demand before opening in theaters, from Lars von Trier's four-hour-long sex epic Nymphomaniac to the Sharlto Copley-starring mind-bender Open Grave. The trend seems like it'll only continue growing through next year, with simultaneous VOD-theatrical release dates being added to the calendar on a daily basis. One film taking that road to release is thriller Reasonable Doubt, which stars Dominic Cooper and Samuel L. Jackson.
After months of uncertainty, Magnolia Pictures recently revealed that professional provocateur Lars von Trier's sex epic Nymphomaniac would hit VOD then theaters in two separate parts next March and April. Part One will bow on-demand on March 6th, followed by Part Two on April 3rd. The films will also arrive in theaters on March 21st and April 18th, respectively. Seemingly to celebrate news of a US release, two decidedly disturbing new posters for Nymphomaniac have hit the web.
Here at We Got This Covered, we're big fans of Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, the talented director-writer pair behind A Horrible Way to Die, both V/H/S horror anthologies and this past summer's frightfest You're Next. Now, Wingard and Barrett are gearing up for their next collaboration, an action-thriller called The Guest.
