1 hour ago
When the Tomb Raider video game series got itself the reboot treatment in 2013, it seemed to give MGM and Warner Brothers the necessary kick to look at rebooting the film version of Lara Croft as well. The planned reboot film has a director, but what it doesn.t have is a star to take on the iconic role. However, it sounds like the studio may have seen a certain woman kicking butt in a really big movie recently and found exactly what they were looking for. One of the actresses the studio is looking at is Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Daisy Ridley, according to reports. According to Deadline, Daisy Ridley is not the only actress currently being considered, and no formal talks have taken place, though there have been "conversations" which means that at least Ridley is aware that she.s being looked at for the part.

Why Falcon Doesn't Really Like Tony Stark In Civil War, According To Anthony Mackie
2 hours ago
Anthony Mackie is excited for Falcon to become his own person. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron, Sam Wilson’s interactions have been largely limited to Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), but Civil War lets him spread his wings, so to speak. "I get to continue my undying love affair with Black Widow, which is good," Mackie tells CinemaBlend. "I think, more so in this one, that I get to do that I haven’t done before is become my own person." Part of that, as it turns out, is getting to think Tony Stark is a total nerd. While discussing his character on the set of Captain America: Civil War, Anthony Mackie said, I don’t know why everybody thinks Tony is cool. Tony thinks he’s really cool, but »

All eyes are on Ghostbusters. four lead women of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. However, several other women were considered for the parts, and director Paul Feig now explains why one of them, Jennifer Lawrence, was not able to join the project.

Tom Cruise's Mummy Movie Adds New Girl's Jake Johnson, Here's Who He'll Be Playing
15 hours ago
Despite the crash and burn that was Dracula Untold, Universal is hell bent on crafting the shared universe that will herald the rebirth of their legendary Universal Monsters. With The Mummy, the studio hopes that Tom Cruise fighting the forces of supernatural evil will draw the public into their multi-picture trap, and it looks like Jake Johnson will be the sidekick tasked with helping him do so. The Hollywood Reporter delivered the news that Johnson, who served as comedic relief in the studio's massive hit of 2015 Jurassic World, is now set to play "a member of the military" in a role specially tailored for his skill-set. Seeing as Tom Cruise is playing a member of a Special Forces organization and Annabelle Wallis is playing a scientist involved with whatever the new mummy will be trying to pull, Johnson's place as the comic relief is not only a given, it's a »
Why Ghostbusters Relies On Practical Effects, According To Paul Feig
16 hours ago
The way you hear filmmakers talk about CGI these days, you could have sworn it was a failed experiment and not the cutting edge tool that everyone and their mother used for a good decade since its salad days. With the backlash continuing to grow, a good amount of directors are reverting back to the days of practical effects, and one such person is Ghostbusters director Paul Feig. His reasoning? Because it's funnier. Feig was recently invited by Empire Online to conduct one of their trailer breakdowns, and out of all of the gems in Paul Feig's Ghostbusters commentary, the best was his discussion of the library scene. In particular, he discussed how the overall effect was created, and the description below is rather novel: [W]e have this new system we use with Led lights, and we put the actor in full costume and make-up and »
What Crossbones Is Up To In Captain America: Civil War
17 hours ago
Brock Rumlow was introduced in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as the head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. counter-terrorism S.T.R.I.K.E. team, but he was later outed as one of Hydra’s top operatives. Despite being badly injured at the end of the 2014 blockbuster, Rumlow, played by Frank Grillo, will be back in action for Captain America: Civil War in May, and this time he’ll be causing trouble in his Crossbones guise. Details have been light about what precisely to expect from him, but now it’s looking more likely that Crossbones will be the primary instigator for the movie’s conflict. While remaining coy, executive producer Nate Moore hinted that Crossbones is responsible for the incident that leads to the Sokovia Accords being drafted and the world governments declaring that superheroes need to be regulated.

18 hours ago
Earlier this week we got our first real look at Paul Feig.s upcoming Ghostbusters reboot when the initial trailer dropped in our laps. And we got even more footage thanks to the subsequent international trailer that followed shortly thereafter. One thing that was obvious at first glance is that this movie contains a ton of callbacks to the classic 1984 paranormal investigating comedy. According to Feig, the new movie had to include these, because he and co-writer Katie Dippold know that fans would be pissed if they weren.t. After the release of the Ghostbusters trailer, Paul Feig sat down with Empire Magazine and broke it down in great detail. When the topic of why there were so many nods and references to the original, the writer and director said: It was very important to Katie Dippold and I to have all the most iconic things from the original films »

But while the main draw to the film is Chris Evans’ Captain America and Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man going toe-to-toe alongside their pals, it’s easy to forget that Civil War will feature the debut of arguably Marvel's most popular character, Spider-Man. It’s now being reported that our very first look at Spider-Man in Civil War will come in tomorrow’s trailer.

By now we all know that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Zac Efron are teaming up to bring a new version of the television mega-hit Baywatch to the big screen. A few weeks ago we got a look at what the guys who watch the bay will be wearing while on duty, and now we have a look at their female counterparts, thanks (as usual) to The Rock. She takes #Baywatch to another level.. World fell in love with @alexannadaddario in #SanAndreas and I was so impressed by her chops and presence every day, that I had to have her "rep the squad" in our film. Just wait til you see her - and all our girls - kick ass and protect the bay. #GameOver #BaywatchBabes #CoverYourEyesBoys #Baywatch Summer 2017.

Spoiler Warning: The following article contains major spoilers for The Divergent Series: Insurgent. If you haven.t had a chance to see the second film in the franchise yet, you may want to click away to another one of our wonderful articles. Kate Winslet is unquestionably one of the best actors of her generation, so it.s not exactly hard to understand why a major movie franchise would want to try and keep her around. even after her character had been killed off. Unfortunately, this was the position that the on-going Divergent Series found itself in following the conclusion of The Divergent Series: Insurgent, which featured Winslet.s Jeanine being shot in the head by Naomi Watts. Evelyn Johnson-Eaton. Despite these events director Robert Schwentke continued to try and invent ideas to keep the actress around, and he actually wound up pitching a rather crazy idea featuring a well-placed Band-Aid. »
Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 May Bring Back A Beloved Marvel Character
20 hours ago
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has done an impeccable job of carving out a niche for even the most obscure Marvel characters. From Iron Man to Star-Lord, the McU has become a welcoming home to any character hailing from deep within the Marvel lore. As a result of this, director James Gunn may soon bring one of the all-time most iconic – and notorious – Marvel characters back to the silver screen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Of course, I’m talking about none other than Howard the Duck. According to a brand new report from On Location Vacations, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has apparently just filmed a scene involving the notorious Marvel character Howard the Duck. The report didn’t indicate the capacity of Howard the Duck’s part in the upcoming sequel; all it tells is us that writer/director James Gunn may »
How Video Games Inspired 10 Cloverfield Lane In A Very Specific Way
21 hours ago
With the release of 10 Cloverfield Lane now just a few days away, the secrecy surrounding its release has dissipated, and we.ve got a clearer idea of what the film is actually about. Rather than being a direct sequel to 2008.s Cloverfield, it has instead been described as a spiritual brethren to its predecessor. Which extends to how this new movie was shot. Just like Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane was filmed in an experiential way, with director Dan Trachtenberg now admitting that he was heavily influenced by video games for its shoot. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Dan Trachtenberg, and the filmmaker -- who made his feature-film debut with 10 Cloverfield Lane -- explained to me how being such a devout and passionate video gamer influenced his decisions as a director. What I really loved about Cloverfield is that it was so experiential. It.s told in this »
The Specific Reason Zack Snyder Wanted Christian Bale To Be In Batman V Superman
21 hours ago
Although the story of Christian Bale's Batman ended with The Dark Knight Rises, when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (then unnamed) was announced, there was speculation about whether he might reprise the Caped Crusader again. Once Ben Affleck was cast as the new Batman, it was clear that this movie is taking place in a different universe from the Dark Knight Trilogy. However, director Zack Snyder did consider including Bale in a different capacity. Reiterating how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set in a world separate from the Christopher Nolan Batman movies, Snyder mentioned to FilmInk that he briefly thought about having Christian Bale play a different character in the March blockbuster to break the connection to the previous series. Snyder noted that the new movie is a "total and opposite reality" from the Christopher Nolam movies, adding: It.s another universe, so we couldn.t »
How Wonder Woman Will Affect Batman In Dawn Of Justice
23 hours ago
Batman has his sights firmly set on making sure Superman isn’t a threat to humanity in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but the Man of Steel isn’t the only superbeing who he’ll meet. The Caped Crusader will also cross paths with the movie’s tertiary hero, Wonder Woman, both in their costumed and civilian personas. While Bruce Wayne looks at the Kryptonian with distrust and fear (at first), interacting with the Amazon will have a more positive effect on him, according to Ben Affleck. Noting how Wonder Woman has been “doing this for ages” (in other words, been a force for good over thousands of years) and isn’t the cynical mess he is, EW asked Ben Affleck how she’ll play into Batman’s thinking. This was his response: It inspires in him the idea that »
How Sacha Baron Cohen Topped His Naked Borat Fight Scene For The Brothers Grimsby
23 hours ago
Sacha Baron Cohen has made a career out of creating anarchic comedy scenarios that make audiences howl with laughter while feverishly looking away. His latest cinematic jaunt, The Brothers Grimsby, is no different, and it arguably features the comedian’s most controversial and disgusting scene to date. Warning: There are some slight Spoilers for The Brothers Grimsby ahead. I don’t go into specifics, but don’t read on if you want to watch The Brothers Grimsby with absolutely no prior knowledge of its most riotous scene. Are they gone? Good. So in The Brothers Grimsby Sacha Baron Cohen’s Norman "Nobby" Butcher and his long-lost brother, Agent Sebastian Butcher (Mark Strong), have a particular scene with an elephant that means you’ll never watch Dumbo the same way again. On Tuesday, I sat down with Sacha Baron Cohen to talk »
