Following the success of The Fault in Our Stars, we can expect to see several more John Green adaptations hitting screens in the coming years. The next of these will be Paper Towns, an adaptation of Green's novel about four friends who go on a road trip to find a missing girl. But for fans of that novel, one key scene will be noticeably missing from the film: the one at SeaWorld.
It has been nearly a year since Clouds of Sils Maria premiered at Cannes, but the film is only just now coming to theaters in the U.S. Directed by Olivier Assayas, it tells the story of cyclical obsession and potential betrayal between an older actress, her personal assistant, and a young ingenue.
Will Ferrell has taken on the news media, Nascar, semi-pro basketball, law enforcement, Mexican drug cartels, and professional ice skating, but is he ready for the American prison system? We are about to find out with Get Hard, the latest comedy from Ferrell and new partner-in-crime Kevin Hart.
The plays of William Shakespeare have received more than their fair share of the cinematic treatment over the years. From the silent era version of The Taming of the Shrew to more recent "modern" adaptations of Titus Andronicus, Coriolanus, and everyone's favorite standby Hamlet, the works of the Bard have been plumbed to the very depths. Yet, somehow, some of Shakespeare's lesser known works have yet to see the light of a cinema screen. That is now being rectified with the upcoming Anarchy, a new and updated version of Shakespeare's Cymbeline.
It has been a long and somewhat rocky road to the release of Werner Herzog's latest feature, Queen of the Desert. However, the film will finally have its debut at the Berlin International Film Festival, and to celebrate that release, we have the first official image, featuring Nicole Kidman and James Franco.
Following in the footsteps of every major movie studio and setting release dates for two and three years into the future, Walt Disney Pictures has recently updated its release schedule to include Pete's Dragon and Ghost in the Shell alongside some minor adjustments to the release dates for some of its other major films.
If you thought that Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever marked the nadir of Aubrey Plaza's career, then you, sir, are just going to have to think again. Moving on from voicing a grouchy kitty, Aubrey Plaza has now decided to portray a young lady out for a good time on Spring Break in the Zac Efron/Robert De Niro road trip movie Dirty Grandpa. You can't make this stuff up.
We live in an age of sequels, remakes, and reboots, but somehow a number of the films that really deserve those treatments wind up on the scrapheap. For no franchise is this truer than Dredd - which isn't a franchise at all, though not because of lack of trying. While many fans have kept the hope for a Dredd 2 alive, the screenwriter for the original film says that it is highly unlikely that the sequel will ever see the light of day.
David Fincher's adaptation of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl was one of the more critically acclaimed films to come out this past fall. Drawing a disturbing portrait of gender dynamics and sexual politics within the structure of a twisting and turning mystery, the film has garnered both Oscar buzz and more than a few detractors. But is there a possible sequel in the offing? According to author Flynn, the idea is certainly on the table.
As much as we might love them in their separate creative projects, there's no doubt that when Amy Poehler and Tina Fey get together, things get a whole lot funnier. I think most of us can agree that their time on the Golden Globes made that awards show much more entertaining than it had any right to be, and now we will get to see them play siblings in their upcoming comedy Sisters.
