Another day, another piece of juicy Star Wars gossip. Today's scoop comes from a rather unexpected source, Bloody Disgusting, which has a great track record in its niche but isn't known for reporting on big blockbuster fare like this. Nevertheless, the site is telling us that it's been filled in on the main villain of Star Wars: Rogue One, which just yesterday was confirmed to feature the return of Darth Vader.
Disney just released the first trailer for The Finest Hours, a true-story survival drama about one of the most daring Coast Guard rescues in U.S. history, and it's an absolutely thrilling watch, resplendent with harrowing moments and incredible shots.
Columbia Pictures is banking on Jack Black to launch its next kiddie franchise in this fall's Goosebumps, and so while the actor was appearing on Good Morning America today, he took the opportunity to tease some footage from the effects-heavy flick.
The list of remakes that utterly miss the point of the original runs long, from Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes to Francis Lawrence's I Am Legend. These films may just about hold together as cinematic creations in their own rights, but they completely fail to capture whatever quality made the original seem remake-worthy to begin with. And now, fans may have reason to be concerned about similar wrongheadedness with regard to the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's Cujo. Plot details have emerged for the redo, and they're frankly pretty ridiculous.
Cameras have been rolling in Boston for the past few weeks on Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot, which will introduce a new quartet of do-gooders played by Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon, and thanks to local publications as well as Feig himself, we've been seeing all kinds of exciting teases drop over Twitter.
Despite the fact that he's proven lethal to nearly every project he's participated in to date, from A Good Day to Die Hard to Terminator Genisys, Jai Courtney is inexplicably still landing plum roles left and right.

The LEGO Movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, two talented helmers who've made no secret of their love for all things Star Wars, are heading to the galaxy far, far away. THR reports that the in-demand duo will tackle a Star Wars Anthology spinoff for their next project, building an adventure around a young Han Solo prior to his New Hope escapades.
Comic-Con is sure to bring all kinds of Star Wars-related goodies, but the good folks over at Birth.Movies.Death are already getting the ball rolling with a terrific tidbit about Star Wars: Rogue One, the Gareth Edwards-directed spinoff set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope that finds a group of scoundrels and saviors uniting to steal blueprints for the Empire's fearsome Death Star. According to the site's Devin Faraci, a very familiar face will be menacing the characters, one we haven't seen at the peak of his powers since 1983's Return of the Jedi. That's right - I'm talking about none other than Darth Vader himself.
Robert De Niro is so widely respected in Hollywood that he could really do anything he wanted at this stage in his career. To the Oscar winner's credit, though, he's not rolling over and taking easy paycheck roles all the time - for years, De Niro has been pushing to get The Comedian made, with an eye to starring in the Art Linson-penned drama. And now, he'll finally complete that passion project, having recruited Taylor Hackford to direct the pic.
