The second official trailer for Rampage is now online. While Warner Bros. Pictures continues to push forward with more DC films, they are also dedicating quite a bit of their time and money to bringing new video game movies onto the big screen as well. Roar Uthaug’s Tomb Raider, starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, is the first movie of this new initiative to hit screens this March, with Brad Peyton’s Rampage coming about one month later in April....

Every few months, it seems, a new project is announced as in some stage of development from WB and DC, leading to confusion of the overall direction. To be clear, most of these have never been confirmed by anyone within the studio, rather revealed by trades. Still, scripts and even pre-production appear to be underway for nearly a dozen movies with no set release date. And though many of these projects have come to light over the past few years, 2017 has seen a surge in the number of potential DC movies that are in the works....

Three new and very different sequels (more spinoff than sequel, in one particular case) are debuting in theaters in a wide release in the U.S. this weekend. Warner Bros. Pictures is premiering its spinoff/followup to its highly-successful animated 2014 feature The LEGO Movie, The LEGO Batman Movie. Meanwhile, Lionsgate/Summit is unveiling John Wick: Chapter Two, the followup to the studio’s own cult hit 2014 Keanu Reeves action movie, and Universal Pictures has Fifty Shades Darker: the next installment in the best-selling erotic novel series-turned blockbuster Fifty Shades franchise....

Former Batgirl comic book writer Gail Simone says that she has the perfect story for a Batgirl movie. Simone’s declaration comes hot on the heels of a fan-movement petitioning Warner Bros. to hire the popular comic book author to write the script for the upcoming film in the wake of Joss Whedon’s departure from DC’s Batgirl. Described by some as “the most powerful woman in comics”, Simone first found fame writing humorous commentary and comic book parodies for the CBR column You’ll All Be Sorry!...

For seven seasons, Game Of Thrones has been marching towards the ultimate showdown: the Great War between the living and the dead. The fate of mankind might come down to whether or not the warring factions of the Seven Kingdoms can put aside their differences and unite against their common enemy.

Thousands and thousands of years ago, long before recorded history, two other groups had to join together in order to defeat the blue-eyed enemy of the frozen north....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Gotham season 3’s midseason finale - When Gotham’s concept of a Batman prequel series featuring younger versions of the franchise’s prime villains was announced, fans quickly began to speculate as to how the famous character of the Joker would be approached. Since the very early days, the show’s executive producers have always claimed their Joker storyline would be a slow burn that would keep viewers guessing as to the iconic Batman villain’s true identity....

Grey’s Anatomy has been running for 15 seasons by 2019. In that long time, we’ve had a number of characters weave in and out while Meredith Grey’s life continues along. Among these characters are those who have been on an even level of popularity as Meredith and are remembered when the show is brought up. The original cast can definitely be claimed to be much more memorable than the current one as it was around this time Grey’s Anatomy had pulled in 20 million viewers per episode easily....

[Update: Will Batman V Superman’s negative reviews affect its opening weekend box office?] Only three days remain until Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters, and the early reviews are now beginning to emerge. Unfortunately for those who can’t wait to hit a midnight screening, the critical take on the big superhero title fight so far is – to put it mildly – not very positive. As of this writing, BVS sits at a relatively paltry 41% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with only 16 positive reviews out of a total of 39....

The first reviews for Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water are in, and the verdict is it’s a beautifully-realized fairy tale from the director.

Superhero movies are moving into theaters at an astonishing rate. The next few years will only bring more comics movies to theaters, with both Marvel and DC moving to three movies a year by 2018. This means a minimum of six superhero movies every year, and that does not include the X-Men universe films from Fox or other adaptations such as Kingsman: The Golden Circle next year. As comic book films continue to rise in popularity, studios will be in need of more actors to fill them, and have already begun targeting some of the biggest names in Hollywood....

DC Films has a huge number of movies potentially starting production in 2019 - and there seems no way they can all be released in the same short window. After months of uncertainty, it’s definitely good news to see more DC movies getting off the ground, but with multiple creatives teasing 2019 start dates, the slate is getting pretty packed. The studio will have to make some difficult choices. Prioritizing the Birds of Prey movie, for example, likely means that Gotham City Sirens, Suicide Squad 2 and the Harley Quinn/Joker movie will all have to be pushed back....

Despite initial assessments that Lucas would be working as a consultant on the new chapters, he later confirmed that none of his advice was used in the creation of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens....

Breakout director Jordan Peele reveals that an early draft of Get Out included a much longer opening scene. The 2017 film written and directed by Peele captivated and terrified critics and audiences alike with his take on modern day racism in America, while achieving the classic cabin-in-the-woods horror effect, leaving audiences gripped to their seats. The film stars Daniel Kaluuya as Chris Washington, a photographer who reluctantly agrees to meet the family of his white girlfriend, Rose Armitage, played by Allison Williams....

When it comes to Gilmore Girls, people have a lot of opinions. This is especially true with regards to Rory Gilmore’s romantic relationships. One of the most polarizing debates in TV history is over which guy the young Gilmore should have ended up with.

Night Shyamalan film Glass it seems that one member of the cast is already praising the quality of the script, as well as indicating that the film is going to be something ‘special’.
