You may know Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, but to a legion of sci-fi fans, the actor is most loved for his portrayal of the prison-breaking, shiny-eyed Richard B. Riddick. Diesel has played the character in three movies – Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Riddick (yes, the series' naming convention is almost as confusing as the Fast and Furious movies) – and a fourth installment has long been […]
New works by Kenneth Branagh, Edgar Wright, and Céline Sciamma will screen at the 2021 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival. In addition, the festival will also host a special presentation of “Dune,” the big-budget adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel that is set to have its world premiere at this summer’s Venice Film Festival.

Part of Supergirl's suit in the DC Extended Universe has been revealed by The Flash director Andy Muschietti. Warner Bros. and DC Films struggled to get a solo movie for Ezra Miller's Flash off the ground for years. It wasn't until IT's Andy Muschietti came aboard that The Flash finally fell into place. The movie will bring a new take on the Flashpoint storyline and incorporate elements of the multiverse. […]
The Walking Dead favourite Jon Bernthal has landed his next TV gig. Bursting onto the scene as Shane Walsh in the zombie apocalypse hit before being cast in the likes of The Punisher, The Wolf of Wall Street and this year's Those Who Wish Me Dead, Bernthal is now entering iconic territory in Showtime's limited series American Gigolo (via TVLine). Released in 1980, director Paul Schrader's film of the same name starred Richard Gere as an escort […]
We’re almost at the end of Netflix’s first ever Geeked Week and today’s presentation was all about anime and animation. Between show announcements, new trailers, and exclusive clips from highly anticipated installments in the Godzilla and Resident Evil franchises, day four proved to be one of the best so far. Remember: tomorrow is all gaming, and IGN will be covering everything from a first look at The Witcher’s second season (hopefully!) […]

The Los Angeles Times published a report about Warner Bros.' movie plans, specifically the company's release strategy in light of the merger between Warner Bros. and Discovery.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 5 About 90% of “The Satanist’s Apprentice” is an all-time classic episode of Legends of Tomorrow. But what’s keeping it from getting there, for me, is that other 10%. Half of that 10% is pretty annoying, but not a deal breaker. But the other half of it is probably the first time that the show has truly violated the spirit of one of the comics […]
“Cinema is not dead.” It was a fitting opening remark to begin the morning press conference announcement of the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, where festival director Thierry Frémaux announced 63 films from around the world set to premiere at this year’s July gathering. Arriving on the Croisette one year after the 2020 edition was canceled, the lineup delivers a dense assemblage of cinema from around the world, some of which has waited […]
