‘Sin City 2′ Trailer Makes Crazy Sound Pretty Good Right Now
Director Robert Rodriguez released a new 'Sin City 2' trailer unto the Reddit community following an AMA, and it is exactly what you'd expect -- hardboiled narration, stylized black-and-white cinematography, tough guys, sexy women, and an absurdly good cast that includes the likes of Josh Brolin, Eva Green, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke and Lady Gaga.
‘The Penguins of Madagascar’ Trailer: Yup, That’s Benedict Cumberbatch Voicing a Wolf
The first 'Penguins of Madagascar' trailer doesn't even begin to hint at what an odd project this film really is. First of all, it's a spinoff of the 'Madagascar' movies that follows those four scene-stealing penguins as they encounter secret-agent animals voiced by the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch. However, it's a completely different thing from the Nickelodeon series of the same name. Are we looking at DreamWorks Animation's first movie set in an alternate universe?
Batman: Arkham Knight Gameplay Trailer Shows Off the Ultimate Batman Simulation
Watching the new Batman: Arkham Knight gameplay trailer, it's easy to imagine this game getting retitled Grand Theft Auto: Gotham City without anyone blinking an eye. Unlike the claustrophobic Batman: Arkham Asylum and the open but constructed Batman: Arkham City, Rocksteady's latest Dark Knight adventure makes Bruce Wayne's entire hometown your personal sandbox, letting you glide overhead, drive through its streets, and knock down whatever gets in your way with a well-timed missile.
New Batman Exhibit Explores the History of The Dark Knight
Practically everyone loves Batman, thanks in part to Christopher Nolan's recent 'Dark Knight' take, so it's difficult to imagine any major disinterest in Warner Bros.' new Batman Exhibit, which will be on display as part of the studio's VIP tour. For $54 a pop, you can journey through the cinematic history of the Caped Crusader, examining props, ogling costumes and remembering the good times ('The Dark Knight') and the very bad times ('Batman and Robin').
‘Transformers 4′ TV Spot: Dinobots Mean “The Rules Have Changed”
If the new 'Transformers 4' TV spot is any indication, this is going to be one crazy-ass movie. We state that knowing just how bizarre and brain-shattering (in a good or bad way) the previous film got. Look at it this way: 'Transformers 4' will be the only 2014 release to feature Mark Wahlberg giving a giant, transforming, Dinobot-riding robot a pep talk.
New Disney Infinity 2.0 Trailer Teases Spider-Man, Iron Fist and More
By now, superhero fans have long since accepted that the chances of seeing Spider-Man appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are slim at best. As long as Sony holds the rights to the character, they're going to keep making Spidey movies until the day the Earth stops spinning and the human race quietly fades into nothingness.
At least you'll be able to create your own Spider-Man/Avengers team-up with the upcoming Disney Infinity 2.0, which will include a cool Spider-Man playset. You can watch the super-goofy trailer for it above!
‘Dumb and Dumber 2′ Poster: Cinema’s Biggest Idiots (and Their Stupid Car) Are Back!
The first 'Dumb and Dumber 2' trailer will officially arrive with '22 Jump Street' next week, but you don't have to wait until then to get a new look at Harry and Lloyd's grand return. A new poster debuted online and it showcases the return of a major character from the original film -- yes, we're talking about the stupid car shaped like a dog.
Star Wars: Battlefront Trailer: The Epic Video Game Franchise Is Back!
With the 'Star Wars' franchise ready to thrive again on the big screen and on television with 'Star Wars: Episode 7' and 'Star Wars Rebels,' it's only natural that this cultural juggernaut would next turn its attention to the video game consoles...
Rik Mayall, Comedian and ‘Drop Dead Fred’ Star, Dead at 56
Rik Mayall, the actor and comedian known for his work on various beloved British television shows, has unexpectedly passed away at the age of 56.
‘Leprechaun: Origins’ Trailer: A Horror Icon Gets a Makeover
The original 'Leprechaun' may be relatively well known among genre fans, but it's not particularly good or well liked. So we're fairly open minded about the upcoming remake/reboot, 'Leprechaun: Origins,' and bring almost no baggage to the new trailer. After all, we're sure someone is capable of taking one of the silliest (to a fault) horror franchises of all time and making it work as a dark and deadly film. Right? Right?!
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ Cruises Past ‘Edge of Tomorrow’
Ah, the summer. The time of the year where the box office is ruled by superhero movies, science fiction extravaganzas and, uh, slightly quirky cancer weepies. What? For reasons that will baffle some people, 'The Fault in Our Stars' effortlessly took the number one spot at the box office this weekend, gliding past its bigger, more expensive and more ferocious competition and making it look easy.
‘The November Man’ Trailer: Pierce Brosnan Puts on His Best Liam Neeson
'The November Man' very much wants to remind you that its star once played James Bond. Yes, Pierce Brosnan is back, once again playing the action hero in a spy movie. The casting seems compelling enough, and the 'November Man' trailer sees Brosnan straddling an interesting line between 007 and Liam Neeson in 'Taken,' very much looking his age but making it work for him.
‘Ghostbusters’ Is Getting Re-Released For 30th Anniversary
The biggest problem with the concept of 'Ghostbusters 3' is the fact that 'Ghostbusters' still very much exists and is pretty much perfect. This fact will be reconfirmed when the original is re-released later this summer as part of the film's 30th anniversary celebration, which will also include a new Blu-ray release.
‘Are You Here’ Trailer: ‘Mad Men’ Creator Teams Up With Zach Galifianakis
If you watch the 'Are You Here' trailer expecting something similar to writer/director Matthew Weiner's 'Mad Men,' you're in for a bit of a surprise. Starring Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Amy Poehler, the film looks smaller, sillier and more straightforward than a typical episode of that acclaimed AMC series. Can Weiner pull off cinematic comedy as well as he can televised drama? We shall see.
How Thanos Will Appear in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’
When we first saw the villainous Thanos at the tail end of 'The Avengers,' fans knew what was coming. After all, you don't tease one of the biggest villains in the entirety of the Marvel universe without admitting that you're planning to translate the iconic "Infinity Gauntlet" storyline to the big screen. That probably won't happen until 'The Avengers 3,' but fret not, true believers: T
Batman: Arkham Knight Delayed Until 2015
In news that's disappointing but not at all surprising, the hotly anticipated Batman: Arkham Knight video game has been pushed from its 2014 release date and won't hit shelves until 2015.
The news comes via Kotaku and it's only the latest in a series of high-profile releases getting bumped to next year...
‘Hercules’ Trailer: Dwayne Johnson is the Ultimate Warrior
The new 'Hercules' trailer is upon us and it has everything you'd want from a big summer release starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in that title role. Big battles. Bulging muscles. Mythological beasts. Screaming. Slow motion. You know, the usual.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Maleficent’ Casts a Spell Over the Box Office
We're knee-deep in the summer movie season and the hits just keep on coming. Despite mixed buzz, 'Maleficent' opened very strong, not coming close to the massive numbers of the past few weekends, but certainly holding its own. However, the success of Disney's latest live action effort meant that the weekend's other big release, Seth MacFarlane's 'A Million Ways to Die in the West,' fared less well.
‘Transformers 4′ TV Spots Introduce New Robots, More Explosions
'Transformers 4' is purportedly a soft reboot of the franchise, setting up an entirely new set of adventures and carrying on with a mostly new human cast. However, director Michael Bay is still at the helm, so it's no surprise it still, for better or worse, feels like the same thing. You already know if that delights or horrifies you, and the latest TV spots aren't going to change your mind.
