If you've seen M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, Split, or if you've been unfortunate when it comes to spoilers on the Internet, you'll know that the horror/thriller ends off similar to your average MCU joint. It's revealed that the movie takes place in the same universe as one of the director's biggest hits, Unbreakable, opening up the possibility of an extended universe within his own filmography — not unlike, say, Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse or the connectivity within Quentin Tarantino's contributions to cinema.
Despite the bountiful charm of its leads, Santa Clarita Diet is a suburban zombie horror-comedy that leaves Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant a little too hungry for their own good.
Since its series premiere last year, Love remains one of Netflix's most under-appreciated original programs. The freshly energized comedy show is witty, wild, self-contained and usually always funny, and while its misanthrope protagonists aren't always the most, well, lovable characters, they're constantly interesting and quietly endearing in their self-inflicted problems. The streaming site stayed mum about its promised second season for a while, but now we know when it'll return - March 10, as seen in this breezy new teaser trailer.
We're a little less than six months away now from Wonder Woman. That sounds like a lot of time, but it'll blow by soon enough. The Gal Gadot-headlined superhero origin story has massive expectations placed upon it, and we're practically praying that director Patty Jenkins lives up to all the potential in front of her lap. Details, as per usual with these superhero movies, are limited at the moment, but we're learning more and more with each passing day. Today, for instance, a few new details come to us from co-star Ewen Bremner, who's playing an undisclosed character in the upcoming film.
Admit all the craziness happening right now, we could use some restored order. Hopefully, Zack Snyder's Justice League will come around to save the day, especially for the DCEU. We've seen some photos and teases from the upcoming blockbuster, yet we're still mostly left in the dark. Warner Bros. is currently a little more focused on their upcoming Wonder Woman film than the upcoming superhero team-up project, but both superhero blockbusters are currently in full swing over at Warner Bros. That's seen in a new behind-the-scenes still, from Snyder himself, that shows Gal Gadot in character as Wonder Woman herself. Well, kinda.
Nicolas Cage doesn't hurt for work. The Academy Award-winner starred in five movies last year, whether you saw them or not (even as a Cage devotee, I only ended up seeing two), and the prolific actor already has a whopping six set to arrive later this year, including the already-released Arsenal from earlier this month. But the rage inside Cage doesn't go down quietly, as we're hearing that he's now figured out his next project, bank heist drama 211, which starts filming in March in Bulgaria.
If Disney knows one thing, it's how to bombard audiences with advertisements. If you ever see one of their movies in the theater, even at a screening, expect to get a sea of promotional materials before the film starts. If you ever walk into Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us or any store of that variety, expect to see Frozen and Marvel toys until your eyes bleed. Yes, Disney isn't necessarily one for underselling their products in the marketing department, and that's likely going to be the same for this year's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales when it swims its way into theaters.
John Wick: Chapter 2 is almost upon us. It's only a matter of weeks before Keanu Reeves blasts through bad guys like it's nobody business but his own, and we cannot wait. The titular superhuman assassin with a loyal heart of gold will find himself dishing out the beatings in brutal fashion once again next month, as promised in this new collection of photos, which are as stylish as they are bloodthirsty (check them out below).
Ashley Prentice's bestselling novel, The Chocolate Money is set to make its way onto the big screen in the near future. Kate Beckinsale has signed on to star in and produce the forthcoming adaptation, which centers on an impossibly rich chocolate heiress and her precocious young daughter, while Adam Shankman (Hairspray) has boarded as the film's director. Production is set to begin later this spring.
Later this year, we'll finally get to see The Punisher TV series we've all been waiting for. Jon Bernthal reprises the role of Frank Castle after his acclaimed supporting turn on Daredevil season 2, as the spinoff Marvel series finds the violent vigilante roaming New York City out for justice. If these new set photos are any indication, however, he'll also pay his respects along the way.
