Nowadays it's pretty rare for high-profile talent to make a movie without news leaking out. Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy and director Richard Linklater pulled it off when they made Before Midnight together and Linklater did it over a period of 12 years with Boyhood, which featured Hawke and Patricia Arquette. More recently, we've seen two movies that were produced "in disguise." Producer J.J. Abrams' 10 Cloverfield Lane and director Adam Wingard's Blair Witch were made...

21 November 2016 9:41 AM, PST
Pixar's Cars franchise, which includes the two main features plus two spin-off Planes movies, has always taken place in an incredibly cartoon-y universe. Obviously that's the case considering it's filled with talking vehicles who live in a world that is clearly designed for humans and yet strangely has no humans in it, but it's worth pointing out because it looks like Cars 3 may be leaving that cartoon-y universe behind. Disney and Pixar still haven't revealed an official...
