James Wan says The Conjuring was always planned as a shared universe, unlikely to direct The Conjuring 3

by

2013’s The Conjuring came out of nowhere and ended up being one of the best horror films in years, forever making people jump at the sound of hands clapping. The success of this film shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise though. After all, the film was directed by James Wan: The man responsible […]

Rian Johnson and Mark Hamill think you should avoid all Star Wars: The Last Jedi marketing

by

Details on Star Wars: The Last Jedi have flowed a little more steady recently. We’ve had plenty of comments from the cast, as well as sneak peeks at some truly bizarre (and yes – adorable) alien species that will be introduced to the Star Wars universe. This is just the tip of iceberg, apparently, as director […]

Justice League reshoots partly focused on making “adjustments” to Cyborg

by

This summer, the Justice League movie began some costly reshoots. Aside from vague explanations, and Henry Cavill’s moustache of course, we don’t know too many specifics of the reshoots, although these have reportedly involved working on the “connective tissue” of the film, as well as potentially altering the tone of the movie. Ever since Batman v. […]

James Wan talks Aquaman stigma, casting Dolph Lundgren and the film’s technical challenges

by

It’s still incredible to think that, not only do we have formidable looking live-action Aquaman, but a James Wan directed Aquaman solo movie is releasing next year. Ten years ago this would have seemed unlikely. Of all of the comic book characters spawned over the decades, Aquaman has always seemed the most frequently jabbed at. For […]

Deadpool and Cable’s relationship in Deadpool 2 is “not unlike” the comics, according to David Leitch

by

The internet breathed a collective sigh of relief when Josh Brolin’s Cable was finally revealed this week, and looked like he leapt straight off the page. And it looks like fans won’t have to worry about the actual characterization of Cable in Deadpool 2, or his relationship with the Merc with a Mouth either, as […]

Doug Liman reveals why he stepped down as director of Justice League Dark

by

We learned back in May that Doug Liman had decided to step down as director for DC’s upcoming live-action Justice League Dark film, which came as quite a surprise. Not long before that, Liman was going into some detail on the project, and even revealed some classic horror films that would serve as inspiration for […]

Josh Brolin pulls no punches regarding James Cameron and Avatar 2

by

A while back, Josh Brolin turned down an offer to appear in James Cameron’s long-gestating sequel to Avatar, which is now due to release in 2020 with three more sequels to follow. No big deal, right? Actors turn down roles all the time for a number of innocent reasons, scheduling conflicts being chief among them. […]

Donald Glover “not ruling out” a future with the Marvel Cinematic Universe

by

If you were around any group of people talking comic book movies back between 2010-2014, then you probably heard at least one person passionately arguing that Donald Glover (Atlanta, Community) should play Miles Morales (another Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe) in a live-action Spider-Man film. This all began when Glover himself was campaigning to play […]

Rian Johnson on the differences between Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back

by

It’s no surprise that there will be some parallels to Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the second movie in another little-known trilogy set in the Star Wars universe. After all, the second movie in any major trilogy always seems to the one that tests the main characters; it’s usually the darkest, and often […]
