6 hours ago
Production started on Paramount's Transformers: The Last Knight back in June, although very little has been released regarding the plot. Director Michael Bay has been posting photos and video from the set ever since filming started, without revealing any story details. Today we have word that Once Upon a Time star Liam Garrigan has been cast as the mythical character King Arthur, which essentially confirms months of rumors swirling around the sequel.
Mashable broke the news earlier today, with the actor surprisingly playing the same role in this movie, King Arthur, as he did in the ABC fantasy series Once Upon a Time. Back in June, plot rumors surfaced that the story centers on Optimus Prime returning to Earth in search of a mysterious artifact, which has ties to both King Arthur and the magician Merlin. This report also reveals that Santiago Cabrera, who had previously been cast, is playing Merlin. »

Terminator 2: Judgment Day 3D Is Coming to Theaters in 2017
6 hours ago
Back in December, just as 2015 was winding down, it was finally confirmed that a 3D re-release of the 1991 sci-fi action classic Terminator 2: Judgment Day is happening at some point in 2016. Director James Cameron is teaming up with StudioCanal and Dmg Entertainment for this conversion, but we haven't heard anything about it since the official announcement. Today we have a new poster for the conversion, which is still happening, although it won't hit theaters until sometime in 2017.
The new poster was unveiled on Facebook today, which die-hard fans of the franchise know is an important date. August 29 is the date that, back in 1997, Skynet became self-aware. Unfortunately, we don't know exactly when this 3D conversion will hit theaters, but at least we know it's still in the works. It's certainly possible that they could use this very same date, August 29, 2017, to roll out this 3D conversion.

7 hours ago
While we don't know much about the first Flash solo movie that Warner Bros. is working on, we may now know who the villains are. A new report is claiming that Captain Cold and Golden Glider are set to square off with Barry on the big screen. There are a lot of fans of CW's The Flash TV series who are a little upset that Grant Gustin isn't playing Barry Allen in the DC Extended Universe movies, and this may give them a little bit more reason to get grumpy, as both of those characters have appeared in the show as significant villains.
According to a Tweet from Mashable's Jeff Sneider, the sibling duo will be the featured villains in The Flash solo movie, which is due out in 2018. This comes just after a report from /Film claimed that the Rogues were set to be the bad guys in The Flash movie. »

8 hours ago
We are still more than a year away from Star Wars Episode VIII hitting theaters, and we haven't even received an official title for the movie yet, but we may have just been handed one of the pivotal scenes in the movie. Fair warning, this article may contain truly massive spoilers for Star Wars Episode VIII, so read ahead at your own risk. With that out of the way, if this supposed leaked scene is legitimate, we are going to learn who Anakin Skywalker's father is, and it is absolutely nuts.
The alleged script leak that this information is drawn from comes courtesy of the Star Wars Theory YouTube channel, though they declined to mention where they obtained the bit of the script. In the video, the entire scene is read, and it does sound a lot more like a bit from one of the novels than it does an actual movie script. »

Maze Runner 3 Resumes Shooting in February

Back in March, 20th Century Fox shut down production on The Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the third and final installment of the studio's young adult franchise, after star Dylan O'Brien suffered a severe accident on the set during a stunt that went wrong. Very few official details have been released since then, but in April, the studio halted production indefinitely, while giving it a new release date of January 12, 2018 back in May. Today we have a new report which claims filming will start in February 2017.
Ironically, the movie was originally slated for release on February 17, 2017, before the horrific accident took place, and now it seems that filming may resume on or around that date. Deadline reports that filming was supposed to resume on May 9, but that was postponed, along with the release date, to give Dylan O'Brien more time to heal. As of now, Maze Runner: The Death Cure »
