Fox's remake of the classic Agatha Christie whodunit Murder on the Orient Express is picking up steam, now that Michael Green has been tapped to pen the script.
This week brings us Run All Night, the latest in a long line of Liam Neeson-powered action thrillers, but any cinephile out of college will tell you that the actor used to be known not for kicking ass but contending for Oscars and BAFTAs. That's right - though the next generation might know him as Qui-Gon Jinn and Bryan Mills, he's also portrayed the likes of Oskar Schindler and Alfred Kinsey.
Selma, the rousing civil rights epic I crowned the best film of 2014, is finally making its way to Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on May 5th, two weeks after it arrives on Digital HD platforms.
"Have courage, and be kind." That's the effortless but nonetheless winning message at the heart of Disney's new Cinderella. In an age of conflicted antiheroes and darkened inversions of fairy tale characters, a film that recaptures the simple charms of its classic source material is the breath of fresh air that audiences may not have realized they needed to take. Cinderella is that film, an earnest and impeccably executed adaptation filled with the same wonder and magic that reimaginings like Maleficent and Mirror Mirror, among others, evidently deemed too vintage for inclusion.
As universally revered as William Shakespeare is within the English literary canon, all Michael Almereyda's modernized Cymbeline demonstrates is that even the masters had their off-days. The centuries-old play is one of the Bard's most contrived and convoluted works, and certainly not one that would be unanimously considered a "classic," though simply bearing Shakespeare's name has been enough to ensure multiple adaptations of it over the years. Almereyda's film, disappointingly, just highlights its source material's messier moments, never justifying its solemn tone or updated setting.
AMC may always be known best for Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but the network is still turning out quality television with every passing season. Last April, it debuted TURN: Washington's Spies, a gripping historical drama about the origins and actions of the Culper Ring, an unlikely group of spies that eventually helped turn the tide during the American Revolutionary War.
Daniel Craig's 007 is one lucky guy. In this November's Spectre, the British spy will be trying out his terrible yet seductive one-liners on the likes of Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux, but today brings news that a third Bond girl has entered the picture: Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman.
Yesterday's announcement of a guy-centered Ghostbusters to be directed by the Russo brothers struck a sour note with many readers. Why, after Sony affirmed its commitment to a female-powered Ghostbusters film boasting a stunning cast and a talented director (Bridesmaids' Paul Feig), did the studio have to backtrack with another movie all about the dudes? It seemed rather un-pc at the time, and now, thanks to some digging by Badass Digest's Devin Faraci, a much larger and more interesting picture has come into focus regarding Sony's new Ghostbusters universe - which, at present, will include four movies.
Millenium Films has found a new Leatherface. Multiple sources close to the studio's planned Texas Chainsaw prequel, simply called Leatherface, confirm that EastEnders actor Sam Strike is in negotiations to pick up the iconic mask and chainsaw.
Though Netflix has become synonymous with binge-watching, typically releasing new seasons of big-name series like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black all at once, the streaming service will be trying something a little different for Jennette McCurdy's survival thriller series Between.
