John Carpenter's cult classic Big Trouble in Little China is getting a dusting-off from 20th Century Fox, which is making a deal with San Andreas star Dwayne Johnson to star in and produce the remake.
FX is unleashing the second season of vampire epidemic thriller The Strain in July, and on the eve of that season premiere, we're teaming up with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for a terrific giveaway in honor of the show's freshman run coming to home media platforms.
After a year ago coming aboard Universal and Working Title's live-action retelling of classic fairy tale The Little Mermaid, Sofia Coppola has jumped ship on the project, according to Deadline.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation was hardly on my radar before that spectacular first trailer, and now everything I'm seeing about the high-octane fivequel is getting me more excited for it. Today brings the release of some high-quality stills from the pic, which finds Tom Cruise again taking on the role of IMF agent Ethan Hunt.
Bad Moms has lost two key players - Deadline reports that Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow have dropped out of the R-rated comedy that's set up at Paramount Pictures, citing delays in production that were going to make the project tough to balance in their busy schedules. The pair, who are married and had planned to do the pic as a team with Mann starring and Apatow producing, needed the movie to be rolling cameras by mid-July and it apparently just wasn't going to be ready in time.
Lionsgate is really nailing its marketing campaign for this fall's franchise topper The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2. The series has always had impressive artwork, but some of the stuff that's being turned around for this last chapter is the kind of stuff I could easily see popping up on college dorm walls for years to come.

Shamelessly pilfering aspects of its premise from Unforgettable (the lead with flawless, absolute memory) and iZombie (accessing the memories of the deceased in order to answer questions about their deaths), the series is not just painfully unoriginal but shockingly uninteresting. Given that this is ABC Family's first foray into sci-fi territory, what's most surprising about the show is how totally it fails to put an interesting spin on its "cutting-edge technology" set-up.
Selma was the very best film of last year, and that was in large part due to David Oyelowo's towering performance as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The actor has since been seen in an assortment of other challenging roles, from a conflicted DA in A Most Violent Year to a troubled war veteran in HBO's Nightingale, but a new interview with Esquire reveals that Oyelowo may not be done with the civil rights leader just yet, if some powerful people have anything to say about it.
