Mark Duplass is perhaps best known for playing charming oddballs in low-key fare like Safety Not Guaranteed, but this summer will see him subvert that image in a pretty terrifying way with found-footage frightener Creep.
As AMC looks to the future, attempting to fill its schedule with shows that could one day garner similar acclaim to recently concluded Mad Men and Breaking Bad, the network is taking a bold step forward into science-fiction. Its new series Humans grapples with artificial intelligence, a topic 2015 has been having quite a field day with between Ex Machina and Avengers: Age of Ultron. In the latest teaser for Humans, though, the series calls back to a key moment from actioner I, Robot, one of the first Hollywood productions to take on AI directly.
When we last saw Jake Gyllenhaal on screen, he wasn't looking too hot, going gaunt to play a sociopathic reporter in Dan Gilroy's excellent Nightcrawler, and this summer will find the actor transforming again, as he bulks up to play a battered boxer in Southpaw. A new trailer for the Antoine Fuqua-directed drama has cast further light on the story, and if the compelling look given here is indicative of the film as a whole, Gyllenhaal could be duking it out with the best of them in this year's awards race.
Turns out, even in a tale as old as time, there's still room for improvement. For Disney's upcoming live-action retelling of its animated classic Beauty and the Beast, which will find Emma Watson taking on the role of Belle opposite Dan Stevens' Beast and Luke Evans' Gaston, eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (who won two of those statuettes for his work on the original) found himself enlisted to write three new tunes for the project alongside Sir Tim Rice.
In a word: wow. The first trailer for Steven Spielberg's latest, Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies, has arrived online, instantly presenting what's sure to be one of the frontrunners in this year's awards race. Tom Hanks stars in the gorgeous-looking period piece about a lawyer who is tapped by the U.S. government to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot before he's pressured into revealing information that could give the Soviet Union the upper hand in an escalating Cold War.
No article about actor Tom Cruise would be complete without a mention of the fact that the Mission: Impossible star does more of his own stunts than most any other leading man in Hollywood, from scaling the outside of the Burj Khalifa to suspending a knife less than an inch away from his eyeball. And for his main franchise's fifth installment, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Cruise admits that old habits die hard - for the new film, the actor says he pulled off a dangerous underwater stunt that had him holding his breath for an agonizing six-and-a-half minutes.
The ranks of Paramount's packed writer's room, devoted to expanding the Transformers franchise into a cinematic universe, have swelled again with the addition of two more talented scribes: Ken Nolan and Geneva Robertson-Dworet.
Lionsgate has been courting various filmmakers over the past few weeks to find the right director for its high-profile Robin Hood: Origins project, and now a favorite has emerged in TV helmer Otto Bathurst.
What happens when you pair an Oscar nominee and a Razzie winner? A perfectly ordinary film, from the sound of it. Lila and Eve screened at the Sundance Film Festival last year, but no one really seemed to notice, which was somewhat surprising given that Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez held the lead roles. Now, the pic has been set for release on July 17, and as that date draws closer, the first trailer for the movie has arrived, promising an unusual take on the revenge thriller genre.
Watching Sense8 feels like observing two pointillist painters as they labor in tandem across an impossibly large canvas, breathing heavily but never once tearing their eyes from what's slowly emerging before them.
