It's hard to retire when you're a legend. Just ask Clint Eastwood. The man who was retiring from behind and in front of the camera (after Gran Torino) has broken his oath to the point where it'd be smarter for him to just keep working on a light schedule. Much like Eastwood before him, legendary poster artist Drew Struzan is looking to dust off his working hat and set out to create art for a galaxy...
In my five-star review of Godzilla, I gushed over director Gareth Edwards' expansive use of storytelling, his top-notch visual effects, and his teasing reveals of its titular monster. I also touched on the performances in this monster movie, and how they hammered home the stakes of its battle of titans. But there are times when a review is just too small a stage to get into every detail of what makes...

LOVED the clothes in 12 Years a Slave? Well... pic.twitter.com/ZDeHLVygPL— Miss Lily Potkin (@MissPotkin) May 20, 2014 Stores are always on the lookout for ways to jazz up their displays. The more eyeballs they can attract, the more merchandise they’ll sell, at least in theory. Unfortunately, an attempt to add a little pizzazz to a display of 12 Years A Slave has devolved into accusations,...
Innocent photograph shared from the set of Batman vs. Superman … or an elaborate tease for the possible appearance of a legendary villain? That has been the debate on various corner of the ‘Net today after Man of Steel 2 cinematographer Larry Fong shared a simple photograph of a playing card embedded into a concrete slab. (See above.) Why? No explanation was given, which is the fastest...
Many movie lovers are still doubtful of Steven Soderbergh's pledge to retire. Sure, he said Behind The Candelabra would be his last project, but since then he's helmed a new drama series called The Knick, and released his own personal cut of Heaven's Gate online. And while he insists he won't direct the sequel to his wildly successful Magic Mike, his collaborator and former star Channing Tatum has...
Ryan Gosling has spent more than half his life in the entertainment industry, beginning in 1993 on The All New Mickey Mouse Club, and he has made some giant strides in his career in that time. His latest big step, however, has been to put acting on pause while he exercises his skills as a director. Originally titled How To Catch A Monster, Gosling's filmmaking debut Lost River has been in the works...
How the hell did Jem and the Holograms all of a sudden become my absolute Must-See movie, even though it has yet to shoot a single frame of footage Here’s how. Earlier in the day, Jon M. Chu’s musical adaptation of the glitzy 80s cartoon cast uber-cool Juliette Lewis in a mysterious role. Then, this afternoon, they added an 80s icon to the cast. Where do I pay for my ticket? Molly Ringwald...
While Zack Snyder did a great job revealing Ben Affleck's Batsuit in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman last week, it was missing one very important element: color. Because the picture was shot in black and white and in such a shadowy environment, it was hard to tell what kind of shading was going on in the design. Is the Bat symbol going to be the same color as the chestplate? Are the cape and cowl...
He's rumoured to be in talks for the new Harry Potter spin-off As Warner Bros. plunges headlong back into the world of Harry Potter with prequel spin-off Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them , the studio recently announced a 2016 release date for the first planned film. To help it reach cinemas, Fantastic Beasts will need a director, and it appears Warners is turning to one of the former Harry...
Matt Smith's showing off... You may have seen the first image from Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut Lost River (formerly How To Catch A Monster) last month, released ahead of the film’s premiere at Cannes and listed as one of the movies we were most anticipating in the festival. If you thought the first clip might offer more lucid context, we’ve got bad news on that front....

Damien is heading to small screens Because several sequels, TV movies and the 2006 remake clearly weren’t enough, someone now wants to turn 1976 horror classic The Omen into a TV series. The Walking Dead veteran Glen Mazzara is that someone, preparing a small screen follow-up called, predictably, Damien . The new drama – which will air on US network Lifetime (a channel not usually known...
Cusack and Pattison heads to Beverly Hills There can’t be a more self-aware director working today than David Cronenberg, who’s been hearing the same questions about his work for the last 30 years. Rather than dwell on past glories, however, Cronenberg is always looking for ways to modernise and expand his style, which explains all his work since the last truly Cronerbergian film, 1999’s...
Empire grapples with Channing Tatum's wrestlemania With Foxcatcher , Bennett Miller reveals himself as a very, very interesting director, taking genuine artistic risks in the wake of the much more commercially viable Moneyball . Indeed, it’s no wonder this film was held for Cannes and not debuted in the North American festivals of last year, since its style is very European (a euphemism for...
Plus a first look at Colin '00' Firth in action Like all good espionage types, Matthew Vaughn's upcoming action-thriller has dipped into its big box of disguises, pulling out a couple of forged passports, a stick-on moustache and a whole new identity. No longer just 'The Secret Service', Vaughn's take on Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' comic book is now going by Kingsman: The Secret Service . The movie...
Hello Mr. Roboto Though not a very well-known title in Marvel's back catalogue, Disney Animations's latest, Big Hero 6 , is indeed a Marvel property. That might explain the superheroishness the the whole conceit: 13-year-old robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada joins forces with a rag-tag group of crime fighters to stop a criminal gang threatening his home city, San Fransokyo. In the three following stills,...

On hand to answer questions were director James Gunn, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige, and stars Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, and Karen Gillan. What followed was a 45 minute session of questions about subjects both serious (running time/getting into character), as...
