If you were not already confused by the X-Men universe, you will be once the FX TV series Legion premieres - especially as it appears that no one, including the producers, seem to agree on whether or not Legion exists in the same universe as the films.
In case you didn't feel poor enough already, Forbes has gone and done their usual ranking of the highest paid actors in the world. At the top this year are two somewhat surprising names, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jennifer Lawrence taking the top of the male and female lists respectively.
We tend to use the word "melodrama" as a pejorative, but good melodrama - melodrama that hits all the right notes of sentimentality and realism - can be wonderfully beautiful and moving. The Weinstein Company must be hoping for that with their new film Lion, a film practically made to be Oscar bait.
The first trailer for director Rebecca Zlotowski's Planetarium has hit the Internet, and it's beautiful. Starring Natalie Portman and Lily-Rose Depp as sisters who embark on careers in entertainment in pre-war Paris, the film also looks like far more than that.
Veep star and Ghostbusters' Homeland Security guy Matt Walsh has joined up with his erstwhile co-star Melissa McCarthy yet again, this time in McCarthy's very own Life of the Party. According to Variety, Walsh will play McCarthy's husband Dan in the comedy scripted by McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone.
A sequel to the excellent (but very dated) The Blair Witch Project might seem like a given in these days of franchises built on the backs of every successful film, but it has taken seventeen years for the sequel to come along. Luckily, Blair Witch looks every bit as scary as its predecessor. Based on the latest trailer and poster for the film, Blair Witch has a lot going for it.
As we run up to the release date for Suicide Squad, the Warner Brothers marketing department has decided that we need to see a lot of the film, constantly. While there's been plenty of positivity surrounding this release - Jared Leto's sophomoric antics notwithstanding - I guess that you can never have enough images. So here we go with yet another batch of Suicide Squad photos, each one more badass than the last.
For awhile, it looked like it might never happen at all, but Pacific Rim 2 is finally moving towards production. The sequel initially failed to get a greenlight from Universal, but it's now back on track with the original director Guillermo del Toro in a producer's role, while Steven S. DeKnight (Season 1 of Daredevil) has come in to direct. Now, bits and pieces have begun to come out about the production, and what direction we can expect to see our favorite characters head in.
With San Diego Comic Con ramping things up, we're beginning to see new images, artistic and otherwise, coming out for Marvel's next big property Doctor Strange. In the latest batch of images, we see Benedict Cumberbatch's lead character Stephen Strange in artsy form: as fiery-shield wielding painting, and as an action figure.
