The Director Behind Colossal Is Bringing Time Travel Thriller Comeback to the Big Screen

The next movie on Nacho Vigalondo’s post-Colossal slate is an intriguing team-up with Robert Kirkman. It’s not to adapt one of Kirkman’s myriad comics, though; instead, they’ll be bringing the intense time travel series Comeback to theaters. Vigalondo—who’s already more than familiar with genre thanks to his excellent work on the giant-monster-movie-with-a-twist, Colossal, and the…

Thor: Ragnarok‘s Hela Is Marvel’s First Queer Icon

With Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie, Thor: Ragnarok has technically introduced the first canonically queer character to appear in the MCU, but because the only explicit nod to Valkyrie’s sexuality was ultimately cut from the film, her queerness remains almost entirely subtextual. It’s a bummer, but we can take solace in the fact that with Hela, Marvel…

Johnny Depp Probably Won’t Be Winning Any Star Wars Trivia Contests

It’s not surprising to hear that Johnny Depp probably isn’t a huge Star Wars fan. What is surprising, though, is the incident which makes us reach that likely conclusion. Depp is just one of many stars in Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming film Murder on the Orient Express. Among his co-stars is Daisy Ridley, who you may…

Blade of the Immortal Director Takashi Miike: Manga Was ‘Salvation for Many Japanese Kids’

In the West, Takashi Miike is probably best known for gritty, gory thrillers like Audition, Ichi the Killer and 13 Assassins. With 100 movies under his name, the Japanese director qualifies as a cinema demigod. Fittingly, his newest movie, Blade of the Immortal, revolves around a long-lived samurai who’s damn near impossible to kill. https://gizmodo.com/takashi-miikes-blade-of-the-immortal-is-your-fantasy-sa-1818729081…

Everything You Should Know Before Seeing Justice League

After what feels like decades of anticipation, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is coming out next week. To get a refresher before seeing the film, there are two choices. First, you can read years of DC Comics, then rewatch Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and Wonder Woman… or you could…

Taika Waititi Has a Fantastic Idea for the First Scene of Thor 4

What could possibly be better than Cate Blanchett as Hela, the goddess of death? Laura Dern playing Cate Blanchett playing Hela, of course. One of the funniest scenes in the altogether-hilarious Thor: Ragnarok had to be when actors Luke Hemsworth, Matt Damon, and Sam Neill filled in as the famous, and famously dysfunctional, Asgardian family…

In This Stunningly Bleak Scifi Short, a Survivor Struggles in a Post-Apocalyptic Cityscape

Post-apocalyptic tales tend to be set in deserted wastelands—but Brazilian short Lunatique, which takes place in the ash-strewn ruins of what was once a great city, is an oddly gorgeous example of this. It looks like a tinted black-and-white photograph come to life, except maybe “come to death” is more accurate. In Gabriel Kalim Mucci’s…

A Video Tribute to Mjolnir, May It Rest in Pieces

If it wasn’t in the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok, this would be considered a spoiler. Very early in the movie, Hela destroys Mjolnir, Thor’s iconic hammer, which was given to him by his father, Odin. Fans have wondered if Thor would get his weapon back—but a new video from Marvel suggests that’s not going to…

Ridley Scott Seems to Think the Alien Franchise Doesn’t Need an Alien Anymore

Though Ridley Scott’s last two Alien movies have been incredibly divisive, they at least have had one thing in common: the alien. However, in a new interview, Scott suggests that after Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, the iconic creature may have overstayed its welcome. Speaking in a roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter, Scott seems to say…

The End Credit Scene of Thor: Ragnarok Could Have Been Something Very, Very Different

By now you probably know that Thor: Ragnarok has two end credit scenes. The first is the big one that ties into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. The second, which is much more appropriate to the film, is a funny little aside and director Taika Waititi revealed it was one of just many choices he…

Chadwick Boseman Chose His Black Panther Accent to Make a Point About White Supremacy

The whole point of Wakanda is that it is a truly isolated nation—isolated by its people’s own choosing, turning itself into a technological utopia away from the influence of people beyond its borders. That isolation became crucial to Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of Black Panther, because he wanted the hero to speak “without colonialism tainting it.”…

Chances are you’ve never heard of The Untamed. It was quietly released this summer and just hit Blu-ray this week. But once you see this behind the scenes clip, we think that’ll change. The Untamed (which we reviewed here and you can see the trailer for here) is about a group of people going through…

Thor: Ragnarok‘s Valkyrie Shows How Far We’ve Got to Go for LGBTQ Representation on the Big Screen

Thor: Ragnarok is a great movie—but one area where it falters is with Valkyrie. Not because of characterization, because she’s just as great, kickass, and engaging as the rest of the cast. But Ragnarok’s Valkyrie was meant to be bisexual, and the erasure of that identity in the film is profoundly disappointing. A few weeks…

Universal’s Shared Monster Movie Universe Has Been Put on Hold

Universal Studios had high hopes for its 2017 reboot of the Mummy franchise, with planned to use the movie as a launchpad for a sprawling, shared universe of monster movies starring characters like the Bride of Frankenstein and the Wolf Man. According to a new report, though, those plans have been on hold. Alex Kurtzman…

Do You Dare Disturb The Thing in the Apartment?

Sam is dead asleep when her best friend Lindsay calls in a total panic, barely making sense and completely freaking out about the creature she swears she saw lurking in her bedroom. Was it night terrors? A bad reaction to a sleeping pill? Or… something far too nightmarish to comprehend? Lindsay’s absolutely against it, but…

The Stunts of Hulu’s New Action Comedy Future Man Look Both Goofy and Badass

Hulu’s Future Man premieres next week, and the Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg-produced action comedy has just shared a new behind-the-scenes video. Its focus: the wild stunts we can expect from the show’s time-traveling warriors (as well as the fish-out-of-water character played by Josh Hutcherson). What’s really cool to see is the emphasis on practical…

The Magic of Thor: Ragnarok‘s Strangest Scene Was Created Using Practical Effects

Depending on who you ask, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Asgardians are either actual gods who periodically descend from the heavens, or merely a race of super long-lived, technologically-advanced aliens. Either way, Thor: Ragnarok has a fair amount of proper magic thanks to a brief Doctor Strange cameo. If you’ve seen all the Ragnarok trailers, then…

Ever since Warner Bros. stepped up to challenge Disney/Marvel for cinematic universe supremacy, there have been ways the DCEU has tried to set itself apart. Mostly, that had involved having a lot more neck breaking and “Martha!” shouting, but it also had to do with the lack of post-credits scenes. Well, looks like Justice League…
