If the Fifty Shades franchise was placed on a temporary hiatus in 2015 - backroom drama likely didn't help matters - then Universal is ready to fire up production with plans to shoot both Fifty Shades Darker and its sequel Fifty Shades Freed back-to-back.
This weekend past, Star Wars: The Force Awakens made box office history. Not that that should come as much of a surprise - J.J. Abrams' franchise revival has been breaking through records left, right and center - but now, Disney and Lucasfilm have announced that the sci-fi sequel has officially crossed the $2 billion mile marker at the international box office.
Anxious singletons and forbidden love take center stage in the latest trailer for The Lobster, the near-future Orwellian love story coming by way of Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, Julieta).
Magneto, Storm, Psylocke, and Angel tear earth asunder in the latest batch of images for X-Men: Apocalypse, which are essentially screengrabs lifted from the thunderous Super Bowl trailer that surfaced late last night.
Trust Disney and Marvel to showcase the biggest of the bunch during last night's Super Bowl promotional ad - and we're not just talking in terms of production budget. Unleashing Bruce Banner's barnstorming alter-ego, the studio's promo for Captain America: Civil War - and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general, really - features Hulk and Ant-Man duking it out over a can of Coke.
Undeterred by the critical panning of Dirty Grandpa, Zac Efron is poised to headline another familial comedy with Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, only this time he'll be partnering with Adam Devine's hapless sibling as opposed to Robert De Niro's vulgar old, old man.
Late last night, cinephiles found themselves awash with new trailers and TV spots to pour over in anticipation of 2016's hottest new releases. From the lavish tentpole blockbusters in the vein of Independence Day: Resurgence to Universal's retooled and rebooted Bourne franchise, but perhaps the one snippet to steal our hearts (outside of Bill Murray's wonderful turn as Baloo in The Jungle Book trailer) was the latest tease for Illumination Entertainment's upcoming animation, The Secret Life of Pets.
Publisher Bandai Namco has unleashed the opening cinematic to Dark Souls III, teasing the threequel's ominous story, the monsters therein, and the inevitable deaths that await us all.
"Something's coming," John Goodman's grizzled survivor whispers in the latest teaser for 10 Cloverfield Lane. Make no mistake, if there was ever any doubt that Bad Robot's sequel (spinoff?) would feature good ol' Clover - or some breed of the monstrous creature that attacked Manhattan in the 2008 original - last night's TV spot ought to put those rumors to bed.
