'Batman v Superman' Doesn't Show All of Wonder Woman's Powers
6 hours ago
We're just a few days away from cinematic history being made with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which will be the first movie ever to showcase Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) together on the big screen. The movie is also historic since it marks the first big-screen appearance of Wonder Woman, with Gal Gadot portraying the iconic heroine. Collider recently spoke with producer Deborah Snyder, who teased that Batman v Superman will only give fans a small taste of Wonder Woman's superpowers.
"I think that (director) Zack (Snyder) and Geoff Johns sat down and outlined these stories, many of them at least. Really, we did a chart with what their powers were, like what Superman's powers were, and I think you see a little bit of Wonder Woman. So we get a sense of her power but we didn't want to do too much because obviously »

'Divergent 4' Budget Slashed as 'Allegiant' Falters at the Box Office
6 hours ago
Something had to give. The Divergent Series: Allegiant debuted this weekend, bringing in the franchise's lowest opening at the box office. Lionsgate investors were understandably not happy about the third movie's performance, and now it is being reported that The Divergent Series: Ascendant, the fourth and final film, will have its budget slashed. Though it isn't known by how much, or how this will effect the series' climax.
The Divergent Series: Ascendant is set to start shooting this summer. Based on Veronica Roth's young adult novels, The Divergent series had its finale expanded to two films, even though there are only three books. This was upsetting to some fans, with the trend of splitting the final movie into two-parts falling out of favor with audiences. Says a source close to the production.
"The budget for the next one will be reduced [compared to the previous film]. They haven't said by how much."

'Captain America: Civil War' Has a Ripple Effect on 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'
7 hours ago
Long before Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted on ABC back in 2013, it was confirmed that the show will be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bringing back Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, who was presumed to be dead after Marvel's The Avengers. The show has featured a number of stars from the McU, such as Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill) and Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif), but the show's biggest connection to the McU happened in the aftermath of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where S.H.I.E.L.D. was dismantled after it was learned that Hydra had infiltrated the organization decades ago. Executive producer Jed Whedon revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the upcoming Phase Three movie Captain America: Civil War will most certainly also have an impact on the show.
"It will definitely have a ripple effect. It is one world, »

'The Walking Dead' Season 6 Finale Extended to 90 Minutes
8 hours ago
As has come to be expected, The Walking Dead Season 6 finale has been expanded to 90 minutes from its usual 60 minute air time. This particular episode promises to be a very brutal one, and it's likely to be the last for at least two fan favorites. Perhaps even more. The extra 30 minutes is being welcomed by fans, who will surely need time to recuperate from all the bloodshed that is bound to drench the small screen.
The Walking Dead has fallen into the habit of presenting special extended episodes. The Walking Dead Season 5 finale was 90 minutes, as was The Walking Dead Season 6 premiere. There have been a number of standalone episodes over the course of the past two years that have also gotten extended runtimes. The Walking Dead will air its final episode of Season 6 on April 3.

Almost thirty years after its initial release in 1988, Killer Klowns from Outer Space is more popular today than it has ever been. It's the true definition of a cult classic, and it's one that continues to get discovered by young audiences. So of course those associated with the rights are looking to bring the property back. But instead of a big screen remake, we're getting a small screen 'requel', described as a sequel and a reboot.

11 hours ago
Way back in September 2014, nearly a year before Terminator Genisys hit theaters, Paramount Pictures announced 2017 and 2018 release dates for the sequels Terminator Genisys 2 and Terminator Genisys 3. However, after Terminator Genisys underperformed at the box office, taking in only $89 million domestically, Paramount pulled Terminator Genisys 2 from its May 19, 2017 release date, and it seemed that the two sequels were not happening at all. However, franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed in an interview with Australia's Channel 9 (via The Telegraph), that the movie is still happening. Take a look at his brief statement below.
"I am looking forward to it, absolutely."
Despite Terminator Genisys 2's release date being yanked, with the studio replacing it with their Baywatch remake, there is still hope that the sequels will move forward, eventually.

'Batman v Superman' Early Fan Reactions Are Overwhelmingly Positive
12 hours ago
Last night, Warner Bros. held the New York City premiere for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with the studio hosting a live stream of the red carpet festivities. Official critic reviews for the movie are still under a strict embargo, but while we wait for those to roll in, Comic Book Movie assembled a number of early Twitter reactions from fans who were lucky enough to attend the premiere last night. The reactions are all exceedingly positive, despite a rash of rumors that the studio was worried about the movie.
Last month, an unconfirmed report surfaced claiming Warner Bros.' was "worried" about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, after the studio started screening the movie for select individuals. The report also claimed the studio may even push production on Justice League Part 1, and remove Zack Snyder as the director. Just a few days later, Warner Bros. put those rumors to rest, »

Why a 'Walking Dead' and 'Fear the Walking Dead' Crossover Won't Happen
12 hours ago
You can exhale. There won't be a crossover between The Walking Dead and its spinoff series Fear the Walking Dead. At least, not anytime soon. While crossovers are more popular now than they ever were, it's almost logistically impossible for both of these shows to ever meet up. And it's all because of the timeline.
Fear the Walking Dead is a quasi-prequel to The Walking Dead that shows the events of the zombie apocalypse from the start. The Walking Dead Season 1 events happen roughly six months or later from what we're seeing now in Fear Season 2. And quite a lot of time has passed on the original show, while we're still roughly in the first weeks of Fear the Walking Dead's timeline. Because of this, showrunner Dave Erickson thinks it's impossible to have the El Sereno survivors meet the gang currently holding up in Alexandria. About a crossover happening, »

'Batman v Superman' Extended Preview Unleashes the Dark Knight's Fury
13 hours ago
Just one day after the New York Premiere, new footage has surfaced from the highly-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, hitting theaters in just four short days on March 25. Amazon has a new TV spot which features some never-before-seen footage, including the Batwing crashing, Martha Lane (Diane Lane) offering some advice to her adopted son Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill), plus more footage of Superman's intense battle with Batman (Ben Affleck). While many think that Superman has a natural edge over Batman, due to all of his powers, the end of this first TV spot proves that The Dark Knight may have a chance.
In all of the previously released footage we've seen of Batman and Superman's fight, Superman is shown to have a clear edge, in some scenes literally tossing Batman around. The final moments of this new video are quite telling, showing Batman actually blocking one of Superman's punches, »

What Is Stan Lee's Own Favorite Marvel Movie Cameo?
13 hours ago
Surrounded by topless strippers in Deadpool, many believed this would be Stan Lee's favorite Marvel movie cameo. But no. The legendary comic book character creator has a different film that tops his list. And it's actually in a sequel that comes from Marvel Studios and Disney. Yes, asked which of his own personal appearances on the big screen resonated most with him, Stan Lee had to go with Avengers: Age of Ultron.
It doesn't matter if the movie comes from Marvel Studios and Disney or another studio with the rights to a Marvel character, it's very seldom that Stan Lee misses a chance to appear on screen with some of his most iconic creations. He's appeared in all of the Marvel and Disney movies, and only recently missed showing up in the Fantastic Four reboot from 20th Century Fox last summer. Which he credits for the film's box office failure. »

After last night's Twice As Far, there are just two more episodes of The Walking Dead left in Season 6. AMC has released two previews for next week's episode East, airing Sunday, March 27 at 9 Pm Et, along with two new photos. We also have new photos and the "most talked about scene" from Twice As Far, which featured the death of a beloved character, and the disappearance of another. There will be Spoilers if you didn't watch Twice As Far yet, so read on at your own risk.
Twice As Far was yet another example of how the show manages to change iconic moments from Robert Kirkman's comic books. The show essentially changed a comic book moment where, in issue 98, Abraham Ford is killed out of the blue, when an arrow pierces his skull. Instead of Abraham, it was Denise Cloyd (Merritt Wever), Alexandria's local doctor, who was struck by »
