Before making the jump to directing, Chris Columbus got his start writing a pair of '80s classics in Gremlins and The Goonies, and as all manner of remakes and franchise updates continue to dominate the box office, Columbus has become embroiled in attempts by Warner Bros. to bring both properties back to the big screen. Of course, with rabid fans of both films instinctively being wary of studio attempts to cash in on their nostalgia, WB is treading carefully.
Yet another strike against Summit's high-grossing Divergent franchise - even though producers cast Rosa Salazar in the role of Dauntless-born initiate Lynn for Insurgent (the character was written out of Divergent despite being a fan favorite), they've opted against developing her character in either Allegiant film, meaning that the character will never get anywhere near the arc she did in Veronica Roth's book trilogy.
Artificial intelligence is having quite a year at the box office, but Alex Garland’s directorial debut is far and away one of the smartest and most spine-tingling films to ever utilize the idea.
Director Sam Mendes is one of the best things to happen to the James Bond franchise in recent years - his dazzling work behind the camera working with cinematographer Roger Deakins made Skyfall the sleekest and most visually impressive Bond movie, perhaps ever.

The interwebs were thrown into a tailspin four weeks back when it was reported by the MCU Exchange that Selma director Ava DuVernay had closed a deal to direct Marvel's Black Panther, the studio's first film to be led by a black actor. Along with many other publications, WGTC posted the story, and a rather chaotic news day followed as other publications refuted the smaller site's scoop, and the MCU Exchange refused to give any specifics on where it got confirmation of DuVernay's deal. Eventually, it became clear that there was little validity to the story, though DuVernay had at one point met with Marvel about the movie.
"We're not the ones you should fear," Kate Mara's Sue Storm tells some government honchos in the latest TV spot for next month's Fantastic Four - despite the tremendously disturbing fact that the Thing (Jamie Bell) seems set to save the world au naturel.
In an age of mega-blockbusters and star-studded dramas, it's refreshing to see that some people are still wholly committed to middle-of-the-road thriller fare. Enter The Gift, the directorial debut of Animal Kingdom star Joel Edgerton, in which he stars as an unstable psychopath taking revenge on the guy (Jason Bateman) who bullied him back in high school.
As Sony's high-profile Ghostbusters reboot shoots in Boston, with Bridesmaids director Paul Feig at the helm, new details about the next generation of (all-female!) boogieman blasters have emerged. Responding to a fan on Twitter, Feig has seemingly leaked the names of all four leads in the 2016 pic.
Let out that breath, superhero fans - the "new" IMAX trailer for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is really just a slightly truncated version of the same Comic-Con trailer that made the rounds online a few days back.
